5. Operación
Once installed, the VEVOR Commercial Grease Trap operates automatically to separate FOGs from wastewater. Wastewater flows into the unit, where solid food particles are caught by the filter basket. The water then passes through internal baffles, allowing fats, oils, and greases, which are lighter than water, to rise to the surface and accumulate. The cleaner water exits through the outlet pipe to the sewer system.

6. Mantenimiento
Regular maintenance is crucial for the efficient operation and longevity of your grease trap. The frequency of cleaning depends on the volume and type of wastewater processed.
6.1. Daily/Weekly Cleaning (Filter Basket)
- Open the lid of the grease trap.
- Retire con cuidado la cesta del filtro.
- Empty any collected food scraps into a waste bin.
- Rinse the filter basket thoroughly with warm water.
- Return the clean filter basket to its position inside the grease trap.
- Cierre bien la tapa.
6.2. Monthly/Bi-Monthly Cleaning (Grease Removal)
- Ensure the water flow to the sink/dishwasher connected to the grease trap is turned off.
- Open the lid and remove the filter basket (if not already done).
- Coloque un recipiente adecuado debajo de la válvula de drenaje de aceite.
- Open the oil drain valve to allow the accumulated grease to drain into the container.
- Once the grease has drained, close the oil drain valve.
- If necessary, use the water drainage outlet to drain any remaining water for a more thorough cleaning of the internal surfaces.
- Scrape any solidified grease from the internal baffles and walls of the trap using a non-abrasive tool. Collect all removed grease for proper disposal.
- Rinse the interior of the trap with warm water.
- Reinstall the filter basket and close the lid securely.
- Dispose of collected grease and food waste according to local regulations.
