When constructing a professional kitchen, the focus is often placed on major appliances like stoves, walk-in refrigerators, and prep equipment. But one commonly overlooked necessity is a solids interceptor.
In busy environments like restaurant kitchens or Industrial Facilities there’s often no time to carefully filter out larger debris that gets hastily washed down the drain. Over time, this can lead to serious drainage issues and expensive repairs. Vodaland’s Solids Interceptor offers a simple, effective solution to prevent these problems before they start.
The Importance of Prevention
As you set up your facility, a significant investment often goes into installing the piping and drainage systems. In most industrial or commercial environments, stainless steel drainage is the preferred choice due to its resistance to acids and chemicals. However, if these systems become clogged with debris, the cost of repairs and cleaning can quickly add up.
By preemptively installing Vodaland’s Solids Interceptor, you can filter out food scraps, debris, and particulates before they ever reach the main drainage system. Its durable stainless-steel construction ensures long-term reliability, while fully removable components make cleaning and maintenance simple.
The interceptor uses a two-stage filtration system. Heavier debris is captured first by gravity in the initial chamber, and finer materials are filtered through the movable 3-way screen. With its compact yet powerful design, it’s a smart addition for any facility looking to protect its plumbing infrastructure from costly damage.
What Are My Options?
- Drain Screens: Mesh or metal strainers installed directly in sinks.
- Commercial Waste Disposal Units: Grinds and disposes food waste directly at the source
- Solids Interceptor: Captures solid waste before it enters the main drainage system
For larger commercial operations, a solids interceptor offers the most reliable and efficient way to manage solid waste.
Pros and Cons of Each Solution
Solution | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
Drain Screen | Inexpensive and simple to install. | Only filters at sink level, Ineffective for high-volume commercial flow |
Commercial Waste Disposal Units | Eliminates the need for manual waste removal, Speeds up kitchen workflow | Often not allowed in commercial codes due to grease and solids entering sewers, Does not “intercept” it just grinds the debris |
Solids Interceptor | Effectively captures solids, Protects piping system, Easy to clean and maintain, Gravity based design | Does not trap grease, Takes up space |
Engineered for performance, Vodaland’s Solids Interceptor is the top choice for facilities with demanding drainage needs.
How to Choose the Right Option for Your Facility
Choosing the right interceptor solution depends on a few key factors:
- Type of Waste – Are you dealing with primarily food, or grease and oil?
- Flow Volume – How much water will pass through?
- Space Constrains – How much room do you have available for a system?
If your facility primarily deals with food scraps, debris, or other solid waste and you have moderate to high flow volume, a solids interceptor is often the most efficient and low-maintenance solution.
Vodaland’s Solid Interceptor – A Solid Choice for Cleaner Drains
When it comes to protecting your drainage system, proactive solutions always outweigh reactive fixes. While there are several options available, Vodaland’s Solids Interceptor stands out for its durability, ease of maintenance, and efficiency in capturing debris before it causes costly blockages. Especially in high-traffic kitchens and industrial facilities, installing a solids interceptor isn’t just a smart choice, it’s a long-term investment. If your operation handles solid waste regularly, Vodaland offers a solution that’s not only reliable, but built to handle the demands of your facility. A truly solid choice.
