Fatstrippa Grease Traps: Installation, Maintenance and Servicing
A Fatstrippa grease trap is an automatic grease removal unit designed to separate fats, oils and grease (FOG) from commercial kitchen wastewater before it enters the drainage system. By continuously removing grease, Fatstrippa systems help reduce blockages, minimise maintenance requirements and support effective grease management.
Popular across restaurants, hotels, catering facilities and food production sites, Fatstrippa units offer an efficient, low-maintenance solution for busy commercial kitchens.
At Aqua Mundus, we supply advanced Fatstrippa systems alongside expert installation, servicing, maintenance, repairs and nationwide support, helping businesses keep their grease management systems operating efficiently.

What is a Fatstrippa Grease Trap?
A Fatstrippa grease trap is an automatic grease recovery unit (GRU) that continuously separates FOG from kitchen wastewater. Unlike traditional passive grease traps, Fatstrippa units automatically remove collected grease into an external collection container, reducing manual cleaning requirements and helping maintain consistent performance.
Automatic grease removal helps improve kitchen hygiene, reduce drain blockages and minimise unpleasant odours while supporting compliance with grease management best practice.

FAQs: Fatstrippa Grease Traps
-
How does the Fatstrippa work?
A Fatstrippa grease trap automatically separates FOG from wastewater. Grease rises to the surface, where a rotating skimming wheel removes it into an external collection container, while cleaner water continues into the drainage system.
-
How often should Fatstrippa units be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on the size of the unit and the volume of FOG produced by your kitchen. Busy commercial kitchens typically benefit from regular planned maintenance to ensure the system continues operating efficiently.
-
What does it mean when a Fatstrippa grease trap is not working?
Grease trap problems may indicate excessive grease build-up, blocked components, worn parts or an electrical fault. Prompt inspection and repair can usually resolve the issue before it affects your drainage system.
-
Is Fatstrippa maintenance required by law?
Although there is no legislation specifically requiring Fatstrippa maintenance, commercial kitchens have a responsibility to manage FOG effectively and prevent pollution or drain blockages. Routine maintenance also helps manufacturers’ equipment operate as intended and can reduce the risk of costly failures.
-
How are the units powered?
Fatstrippa grease traps use an electric motor to operate the automatic grease removal mechanism, so they require a power source.
-
What happens to the food scraps?
Fatstrippa systems are designed to separate FOG rather than large food waste. Food scraps should be prevented from entering the unit where possible using sink strainers and good kitchen housekeeping. Any waste collected during cleaning should be disposed of appropriately.
-
What size Fatstrippa unit do I need?
The correct unit depends on factors such as the number of meals served, kitchen equipment, wastewater flow rates and the amount of FOG generated. Our experienced team can assess your requirements and recommend the most suitable Fatstrippa grease trap for your commercial kitchen – use our online, free grease trap size calculator for more guidance.
