There’s nothing better than the
warm crunchy goodness of deep fried Turkey drumstick or a heaping pile of
french fries…hot out of the deep fryer!
There is NO denying…people love deep fried foods. There are TV shows highlighting it and booths
are fairs dedicated to it. There is only
one thing that is more important than the taste, the texture or the CRUNCH of
it. Maintenance. HUH?
Yep, that’s exactly what I said.
The recent popularity of deep
fried foods has undoubtedly triggered an increase in the use of restaurants
deep fryers. Along with that increase
comes the need to set up a “Preventative Maintenance” schedule, to maintain those
Grease Traps and Interceptors. You might
be wondering, “Is there a standard for maintenance scheduling?” Well, it’s a good question…and I’m glad you
asked! Below is some great information, recommendations and the “Do’s and Don’ts”.
DO:
- Maintain all maintenance and service/repair records – for a minimum of 3yrs
- Make sure that all your Employees understand how to handle food and grease waste – which includes removing all waste from cookware, dishes, and equipment before washing
- Set up a preventative maintenance schedule for your Trap or Interceptor – to include regular cleanings
DON’T:
- Never wait until your Trap or Interceptor is overflowing with waste to have it cleaned out
- Dumping Chemicals into the Drain is a big no-no
- Disposing of grease/oil into the Sewer Drain is never a good idea
- Never clean equipment where grease or food waste cam flow into drywell or drains
You might wonder what your Waste
Hauler does for cleaning your Grease Trap or Interceptor. Professionals like Emergency Pumping and Plumbing Service will pump out the entire Trap/Interceptor – which includes
removal of all debris and residual wastes.
After its empty, they can verify that all piping and other fittings and parts are in good
condition.
