Ashirvad Grease & Solid Interceptors- Clean and Efficient Solutions for Complex Kitchens

Typically every 1 to 3 months, depending on kitchen usage. High-volume kitchens may require more frequent cleaning, as per local regulations.

Grease Trap: Smaller, under-sink units for low-flow applications.
Ashirvad Grease and Solid Interceptor: A larger, high-capacity unit designed for commercial kitchens with high-flow wastewater and solid waste

No. Hot water or chemicals may temporarily liquefy grease, but it can re-solidify downstream, causing blockages. Manual cleaning is recommended.

The Ashirvad Grease and Solid Interceptor combines both functions—capturing food particles and grease in one integrated unit, reducing maintenance and improving performance.

Yes, in most municipalities. Local plumbing and environmental codes often mandate the use of interceptors in commercial kitchens to protect public sewer systems.

Sizing depends on sink flow rate, number of fixtures, and kitchen output. Ashirvad provides technical guidance and sizing charts to help you choose the right model.

Neglect can lead to:

Foul odors
Plumbing backups
Regulatory fines
Environmental hazards

Installation should be done by a licensed plumber to ensure compliance with local codes and optimal performance.

Grease Interceptor: Typically outside the kitchen or in a mechanical room.
Solids Interceptor: Usually placed under the sink or near the source of solids. Ashirvad’s unit is designed for flexible installation based on kitchen layout.

It can be cleaned manually using a vacuum cleaner, making maintenance simple and efficient without the need for specialized tools or chemicals.

A grease and solid interceptor improves wastewater flow efficiency by removing grease, oils, fats, and solid waste at the source before they enter the drainage network. By slowing down the wastewater flow and separating lighter grease through flotation and heavier solids through sedimentation, the interceptor ensures that cleaner water passes smoothly into downstream piping and treatment systems. Ashirvad Grease and Solid Interceptors are engineered for continuous high‑temperature discharge and seamless integration with plumbing systems, helping maintain consistent flow rates, reduce hydraulic stress, and enhance the overall efficiency of wastewater conveyance.

The key difference between a grease interceptor and a grease trap lies in capacity, efficiency, and long‑term performance. Grease traps are typically smaller, located close to fixtures, and suitable for low‑volume applications, whereas grease interceptors are larger, externally or floor‑installed systems designed to handle higher flow rates and heavier grease loads. Ashirvad grease interceptors use hydromechanical separation principles with robust construction and higher grease retention capacity, delivering superior separation efficiency, reduced maintenance frequency, and reliable performance in demanding commercial and institutional environments.

Dual‑stage separation systems enhance grease and solid removal by addressing solids and grease in two distinct yet integrated stages, ensuring higher overall efficiency. In the first stage, heavier food particles and debris are captured, preventing them from interfering with grease separation, while the second stage focuses on separating oils, fats, and grease through controlled flow and flotation. Ashirvad’s dual‑stage interceptor designs maximize separation efficiency, reduce clogging risks, and minimize maintenance downtime, making them especially effective in high‑load kitchen and food service applications.

Grease and solid interceptors are manufactured using advanced thermoplastics such as injection‑moulded polypropylene, which play a critical role in performance and durability. These materials are corrosion‑resistant, lightweight, structurally strong, and capable of withstanding continuous high‑temperature wastewater discharge without deformation or leakage. Ashirvad uses seamless, single‑piece thermoplastic tanks that eliminate joint failures, resist chemical attack, and support pedestrian loads, ensuring long service life, ease of handling, and consistent performance in demanding operating conditions.

Grease and solid interceptors prevent drainage system blockages by capturing fats, oils, grease, and food solids before they cool, solidify, or accumulate within pipes. By removing these contaminants at the source, interceptors prevent pipe choking, odour formation, and sewer overflows that can disrupt operations and damage infrastructure. Ashirvad Grease and Solid Interceptors are designed with smooth internal surfaces, removable baffles, and easy access covers, ensuring effective waste separation, quick maintenance, and long‑term protection of drainage and sewage systems.
