External & Underground Grease Separators

External & Underground Grease Separators

Hydromechanical Grease Separation

Hydromechanical Grease Separators separate Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) from greasy water which typically results from the preparation and service of food.  The term Hydromechanical Grease Trap means a design that incorporates air entrainment, hydromechanical separation, interior baffling, or barriers in combination or separately.

In the past concrete was commonly used in the manufacture of grease traps but the presence of acids in greasy waste resulted in corrosion and breakdown of the unit within as little as 10 years.

MACTRAP manufactures grease separators from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which remains totally unaffected by greasy water acidity allowing us to provide a 30 year warranty with all inground units – a strong financial motivation for building owners.

The benefits of MACTRAP grease separators start at installation. Because they are lightweight and easy to transport and maneuver they require less machinery and time to install saving up to 50% of upfront costs. If your application requires a custom size or configuration we can typically design and build to meet those requirements within four weeks.

MACTRAP manufactures products to support New Zealand’s environmental goals and all of our products comply with the NZBC G13.

Polymer grease separator systems are a superior alternative to concrete grease traps as they do not need to be refurbished, even after many years.

Features

Only New Zealand grease separator with an inground 30 year warranty against leak tightness and structural integrity.

HDPE polymer is lightweight and manoeuvrable saving up to 50% of installation costs.

Above and below ground options with vehicular and pedestrian risers and covers

Welded frame with 12mm wall thickness for robustness and reliability

Increased baffles and chambers for greater efficiency

Flexible couplings for earthquake protection

Handles harsh chemicals, heavy FOG, and temperatures up to 65°C

The polyethylene material used is resistant to aggressive fatty acids – and therefore particularly durable. We provide a 30-year warranty for leak tightness, fitness for purpose and structural safety of tanks and upper sections.

Covers and Risers

Mactrap separators are available with Class A Pedestrian lids in HDPE and Class D Vehicular lids in cast iron. The riser mounts are pre-welded and a flexible coupling allows easy installation of the fully sealed riser flanges and screw on covers. Surrounding concrete or other medium must be engineered for the appropriate loading.
