Working in a professional kitchen generates mess and having an effective clean-up process is an essential aspect of allowing a busy kitchen to operate efficiently. However, if drains are not correctly managed sinks can easily become clogged or backed up, significantly disrupting the pace in which the kitchen can flow - sending profits down the drain. See how a simple yet highly effective drain maintenance program can help.
Goodbye build-up:
Any liquids or solids dumped in to the sink get rinsed away via a system of pipes usually connected to a grease trap. Overtime, sticky foods, or substances high in saturated fats start to adhere to the pipes.
Using the sink and running hot water may help to remove some of the residue however it wont be enough to prevent the build-up. As time goes by the flow of water down the drain significantly reduces and if the problem is not addressed it can lead to a completely blocked or backed up drain.
Having a simple yet highly effective drain maintenance program:
Limiting the amount of solid food and greasy substances that goes down the pipes is a good way to help maintain a free-flowing drainage system. However, that’s not always a viable option in a hectic kitchen environment. Therefore, a simple yet highly effective drain maintenance program makes sense.
As the saying goes prevention is better than cure.
All our drain maintenance enzyme products contain a microbe-base formula packed full of tiny micro-organisms and free enzymes that safely and effectively digest the grease and fat within the pipes and grease traps leaving them clear from the build up of natural waste, eliminating the need to empty grease traps cutting costs and reducing foul odours.
How does a micro-organism and free enzyme drain maintenance product work:
Some drain products available are caustic cleaners meaning that they have a high pH. The caustic materials in the cleaners can not only pose a safety risk they also have the potential to eat through the pipes itself while they clear through the clog. A micro-organism and free enzyme-based drain cleaner on the other hand are specifically formulated to be a neutral to mildly alkaline pH.
Our drain maintenance enzyme products also contain a surfactant component. This ensures quick removal of most of the build-up. Surfactants are a necessity however; they are not always able to completely clear the pipes alone and may leave behind elements of organic residue that can act as anchor points for subsequent food particles to adhere to. Therefore, a combination of surfactant as well and micro-organisms and free enzymes are required. When added the micro-organisms and free enzymes consume the residual waste leaving a free-flowing drain as part of a drain maintenance program.
Long lasting effects:
Long-lasting micro-organisms and free enzymes can continue to break down food waste and odour-causing bacteria for days after application. In the right conditions they will continue to multiply, enabling our products to eliminate odours and blockages for longer. They also have the ability to prevent clogs from occurring in the first place. The result? Goodbye build-up!
