How Solids Separators
Reduce Maintenance,
Boost Eciency
Most grease interceptors are capable of eectively removing enough
fats, oils, and grease from kitchen euent, but struggle to handle
solids as eciently. When large quantities of food waste or other solids
go down kitchen drains, they can ll up
your grease separator prematurely and
interfere with its regular operation. That
means more frequent visits from the pump
truck to empty it out (and thus higher
costs). Accumulated solids also run the
risk of creating blockages in your internal
plumbing, leading to unnecessary repairs.
Trapzilla
®
Solids Separators can be used with
Trapzilla
®
Grease Interceptors, plumbed in
prior to Thermaco’s Big Dipper
®
Automatic
Grease Removal Devices, or by themselves
when large quantities of solids must be
removed from kitchen wastewater.
To help reduce the amount of incidental
food solids collected in the Trapzilla
®
Grease
Interceptor, Thermaco
®
offers several options.
Point Source Incidental Solids
Separation Options
The Flat Strainer (FS-1) separates and collects
incidental solids such as rice, coleslaw and other
food scraps larger than 0.125 inches (3.175 mm)
in diameter found in point source drain flows.
Designed to replace food disposals. Dewatered
solids may be emptied into a trash container.
Other options available from Thermaco
®
include
the Inline Strainer (ILS-1) and External Strainer
(ESU-1).
Trapzilla® Solids Separators
The Trapzilla
®
Solids Separator (TSS) separates
and collects all sizes of incidental solids.
Designed to collect incidental solids in a central
location, the TSS is installed upstream of the
Trapzilla
®
Grease Interceptor. Three convenient
sizes are available: the TSS-27 stores 27 gallons
(102 liters) of solids while the TSS-70 stores 70
gallons (265 liters) of solids, and the TSS-95 stores
95 gallons (360 liters) of solids.

Trapzilla® Solids Separator Models have the same footprint and
design as their Trapzilla® Grease Interceptor counterparts of like
liquid capacity, making installation of additional units easy!
Installing a new grease interceptor?
It’s more cost effective to install a
solids separator at the same time.
