Durable, failure-resistant unibody design.
The main tank including the inlet and outlet are constructed of a single piece of rotationally molded polyethylene.
Inlet and Outlet piping is secured using a patented interior radial compression ring. Some interceptors use PVC
piping attached via glue or clips to a storage tank, creating the risk of failure at those attachment points during
routine servicing. The TZ-1826’s unibody design is stronger and more durable.
Horizontal baes that boost eciency.
The interior horizontal bae keeps turbulence inside the TZ-1826 below the trapped grease. That helps keeps
separation eciency high (above 99%) even as it lls with trapped grease. Previously separated grease is retained
in the upper chamber and is not subject to the eects of emulsied ows or hydrolysis which pulls grease out of
traditional passive interceptors.
Sloped bottoms reduce buildup.
In many at-bottomed, square interceptors, grease is literally trapped in the
bottom corners and builds up. This lowers the eciency of those units and
reduces the amount of grease they can collect between pumpings. Trapzlla’s
sloped bottom prevents that build-up and helps keep eciency in the unit
high — allowing it to hold a higher percentage of its volume in grease
between pumpings.
Replace-in-place option cuts costs.
The TZ-1826’s compact footprint and large capacity means it can be literally
t into an old 750- or 1,000-gallon concrete trap. That means you can replace
your existing unit without having to dig a new hole and reroute plumbing,
reducing installation time and costs.
Eciency that lasts.
Traditional concrete interceptors are usually pumped out after only 25% of
their volume is full or they won’t work well enough to keep fats and oils out
of the sewer systems. All Trapzilla systems are designed to hold a majority
of their volume in grease before they must be pumped out.
The TZ-1826 is no exception, designed to hold 91% of its volume in grease
and is certied to meet the PDI-G 101 and ASME A112.14.3 standards.
Even at near capacity, the unit’s separation eciency easily exceeds the
requirement. After 41 hours of testing, with 1,826 lbs. of retained grease,
the TZ-1826’s accumulated eciency was still 99.2% – even at 100 gallons per
minute test conditions.
All of this adds up to a grease interceptor which holds nearly a ton of fats, oil
and grease in a volume of 274 gallons – one-fourth the size of a 1,000-gallon
concrete interceptor with a similar volume. The TZ-1826 also holds almost
70% more grease than the leading hydromechanical interceptor.
Best in Class Separation & Retention Efficiency
On Drop 92, the Trapzilla retained a total of 1,826 lbs. In comparison,
the leading alternative failed after drop 58 with just 1,106 lbs retained (Tested to ASME A112.14.3)
