Grease Separator
The ACO Grease Separator Selection application is designed to simplify the process of selecting the appropriate grease separator, whether free-standing or designed for installation in the ground, according to the needs of industrial kitchens, restaurants, or meat processing plants. The tool allows for the efficient selection of the device based on several key parameters: kitchen equipment, the number of meals prepared, and the scale of meat production.
Thanks to collaboration with ACO, a leader in drainage system production, the application enables precise determination of the separator’s capacity and efficiency requirements, ensuring compliance with local regulations regarding the discharge of fats and oils. After entering specific data related to their operations, users receive a detailed diagram and the recommended separator’s parameters, such as its capacity, dimensions, and recommended placement.
This tool is an invaluable aid in designing, minimizing the risk of blockages, and contributing to environmental protection, while also reducing the time needed for necessary analyses and calculations. The application is user-friendly and tailored to the needs of its users. The selection process is conducted in accordance with the PN-EN 1825-2 standard: Grease Separators – Part 2: Selection of Nominal Sizes, Installation, Operation, and Maintenance, although more experienced users have the option to make deviations from the standard.
The application is available in Poland.
Selection of grease separators
The tool allows for effective selection of the device based on several key parameters:
- kitchen equipment (calculations for kitchen equipment and outlet valves),
- number of meals prepared (calculation of the number of meals in commercial kitchens),
- meat production volume (calculation for meat processing plants).
To perform the calculations, the following data are required:
- difficult factors:
- density,
- inlet temperature,
- detergents used,
- installation:
- in the ground,
- freestanding.
Additionally, when selecting a device for kitchen equipment and outlet valves, the device configuration should be performed by selecting the appropriate devices and determining their parameters.
