Grease Traps (Counter-Top & Under-Sink)
Passive grease separation to protect drainage systems
Counter-top and under-sink grease traps are a legal requirement under NEMA (National Environment Management Authority) regulations for all commercial food service operations in Kenya. Failure to install and maintain an approved grease trap can result in fines, operational licence suspension, or forced closure by county environmental officers. Beyond Commercial Kitchens fabricates and supplies passive grease traps in Grade 304 stainless steel and HDPE for the wash-up area — intercepting fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the public drainage system. Counter-top models sit beside the sink for small-volume operations such as cafés and kiosks. Under-sink models are plumbed inline with the waste outlet for medium-volume restaurants and institutional kitchens. For high-volume operations — restaurants serving 100+ covers per day, hotels, and institutions — we also supply large-capacity underground grease interceptors as part of our drainage solutions range. Sizing is critical: an undersized grease trap fills rapidly, requiring frequent emptying and risking overflow into the drainage system. We size every unit by your daily meal count and kitchen flow rate to NEMA guidelines, ensuring it is both compliant and practical to maintain. All units include easy-access lids, inlet/outlet connections, and a basket strainer as standard.
