Commercial & Central kitchens

In household kitchen, wastewater generated from cooking and cleaning is usually discharged through basins connected with sewer lines. However, for commercial kitchens, the drainage is through the ground and surface drainage system. The system mainly consists of three parts: drains, gully and piping system. Under the law, organizations generating industrial pollutions must ensure that all substances and liquids which are discharged to the public sewer will not cause pipe blockage or unpleasant smells. In order to recycle fats and organic oils, grease separators are recommended.

For the applications mentioned above, ACO offers you with packaged solution. In addition to linear drainage and point drainage systems for commercial kitchens, packaged solutions are also available, including grease separators and wet waste treatment equipment.

Design advantageous for water discharge and clean

In commercial kitchens, hygiene is definitely the most important factor. Therefore, all components of drainage systems must adopt round internal corners. To avoid build-up of food particles and debris, the opportunity for bacteria to grow throughout the drainage systems must be minimized. ACO has developed HygieneFirst products for ultimate hygienic performance.

Safety of commercial kitchens

The ground of commercial kitchens should be slip resistant, so should drain tanks, drainage channels and gully. The drainage systems must remove wastewater rapidly to avoid long-time water retention on the ground.

Lasting combination of drainage channel and floor

The connection area between the floor covering and the drain or floor drain must always be kept sealed and flat, which will not only make the system more stable and durable, but also reduce the risk of various industrial accidents.

Treatment

Using ordinary garbage bins or biological trash cans to store and dispose food waste (wet garbage) will pose considerable risks. As a result, it is necessary to eliminate cross-contamination sources and prevent pests from entering wet garbage treatment equipment from the beginning.

How to make commercial kitchen drainage meet the sanitation standard?

The ACO hygienic box channel range incorporates the hygienic design principles to ensure the top hygienic performance. The ACO hygienic box channel range is ideal for applications where there is a need to retain large volumes of fluid. All ACO hygienic box channels have been tested and certified.

The ACO modular box channel is ideal for areas within commercial kitchens and food industry, where hygienic requirements are relatively low. Flexible solutions can be provided with a choice of width (230 or 153mm). ACO modular box channel bottom has both longitudinal and sectional slopes, with rubber edge infill.

ACO stainless steel slot channels are perfect for busy regions with relatively less water discharge but larger ground loading, such as areas where pallet trucks and forklifts are often used. ACO slot channels are mainly used to discharge the wastewater generated by floor cleaning, but they can also deal with unexpected large amount of sewage volume.

ACO gully range is available in a number of versions featuring different flow rates, grating designs, sizes and spigot outlet diameters to suit various applications. As a part of HygieneFirst product range, ACO gully fulfils strongest hygienic requirements.

ACO pipe has shown strong corrosion resistance in the field of industrial water drainage for many years. The smooth inner surface provides excellent water flow conditions to the whole piping system, reducing the need for cleaning and risk of sedimentation.

Which grease separators suit commercial kitchens?

Commercial kitchens unintentionally dispose of food waste down the drain when using sinks, cleaning dishes or equipment. One of the main wastes are fats, oils and greases (FOG) used or produced during cooking, which frequently solidify in drains causing them to block.

Polyethylene and stainless steel 316L are also available for ACO full disposal grease separators. Separators made of polyethylene adopt rotational molding technology with low weight and long lifespan. On the other hand, separators made of stainless steel present several advantages, such as elegant appearance, reliable performance, zero fire-risk and easy cleaning.

Lifting system

ACO lifting plants is made by rotational molding. Depending on various delivery flow, models of 150L/300L (Muli-star) and 500L (Muli Pro) are available.
