Grease Hood Drain

Grease Hood Drain refers to a designated drainage channel installed beneath the exhaust hood in a food trailer. Its purpose is to collect grease that condenses from vapors during cooking and direct it into a removable container for safe, sanitary disposal. This system is critical in mobile kitchens equipped with fryers, griddles, or other high-heat appliances where airborne grease accumulation is routine.

Use in Food Trailers

  • Improved Fire Safety Diverts flammable grease from heat sources, lowering the risk of fire inside the trailer.
  • Streamlined Maintenance Facilitates routine cleaning with easy-to-remove containers for grease disposal.
  • Health Code Compliance Supports adherence to local fire and health regulations for mobile food units.
  • Protects Equipment Reduces grease buildup in exhaust fans and ductwork, extending system life.
  • Designed for Mobility Engineered for efficient operation in compact trailer environments.

Expert Advice

Select a grease hood drain system that is compatible with your hood and easy to access for cleaning. Inspect regularly for clogs and ensure the container is emptied before reaching capacity. Routine maintenance not only enhances safety but also helps prevent code violations and equipment downtime.
