Stainless Steel Construction
The Goslyn grease trap solution is made of stainless steel. Goslyn does not use motorized belts, conveyors, or skimming devices to separate the grease. Mechanical breakdowns will not occur with Goslyn grease traps. The FOG is separated from the wastewater using heat and hydrostatic pressure. Goslyn was engineered for durability, dependability, and the utmost reliability. Goslyn will not malfunction, leak, or discharge grease to the drain. Food Solids are separated and trapped in this innovative grease trap system.
Stages of Grease and Food Solids Separation
Stage 1: Food Solids Strainer Basket
Effluent or dishwater enters the Goslyn grease trap. Food particles are collected in the food solids strainer basket. The Goslyn strainer basket traps all food solids. The effluent passes under the first baffle plate and into the separation chambers. The food solid strainer basket was designed for quick and easy emptying.
Stage 2: Grease Separation Chamber
The grease separation chamber was engineered to allow the water to separate from the fats, oils, and greases (FOG) before it passes under the final baffle and over the weir to the outlet. (see chart)
Stage 3: Oil Outlet Valve
The final weir creates a hydrostatic pressure that forces the FOG up the oil valve and into the cassette. When all of the FOG have been discharged, a floating ball seals the valve. When there is further accumulation of FOG, the ball will again drop allowing the discharge into the oil / grease cassette. (see chart)
Stage 4: Fat Oil Grease (FOG) Cassette
The discharged fats, oils, and greases are collected in the FOG cassette strategically connected to the front of the Goslyn. The recovered grease in the cassette is clearly visible. Maintenance involves emptying the grease into your waste vegetable oil (WVO) bin when required. The waste yellow grease is never "out of site, out of mind".
Stage 5: Immersion Heater
The effluent or dishwater is warmed up to 104 degrees fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) to prevent animal fat from solidifying. Goslyn uses a Standard CSA Approved Electrical Plug. (110 Volt, 1000 watts, 9 Amps)
Stage 6: Manual Flush Valve
Settled silts, typically coffee grounds, are discharged through the manually controlled valve. The flush valve is another unique design feature of the Goslyn. The flush valve discharges food solids too fine to be trapped by the strainer basket. The flush valve is a unique feature to grease trap technology. Food Solids and food particles never go down the drain.

Goslyn grease traps do not create or store brown grease sludge. Goslyn grease traps are odour free and never leak. Standard steel grease interceptors are prone to rusting and leaking. Plastic and PVC grease traps eventually split and crack.
