In any professional kitchen, the grease trap is a critical but often neglected piece of equipment: if it becomes clogged, the entire drainage system is blocked, generating unpleasant odors that rise into the dishwashing area, and in severe cases, a service shutdown. Activatop GT1X, developed by the French laboratory JAGPRIMA, offers a biological and preventative solution: non-pathogenic bacteria and active enzymes colonize the grease trap wall and continuously digest the organic matter responsible for the blockage. The result: no blockages, no odors rising, and maintenance that complies with HACCP requirements without the use of harsh chemicals that damage pipes.
How does a bacteriological biological activator work?
Unlike chemical drain cleaners (caustic soda, sulfuric acid) which break down matter through chemical aggression, Activatop GT1X contains selected non-pathogenic bacterial strains and active enzymes specifically formulated to digest:
- animal fats (cooking leftovers, fatty cooking, meats, deli meats);
- mineral oils (frying oils, cooking oils, petroleum residues at service stations);
- vegetable and plant residues (peelings, pods, leaves);
- the bacterial biofilm responsible for persistent bad odors.
The bacteria colonize the tank walls and continue their action between additions, maintaining a stable biological balance. The effect is long-lasting and preventative—exactly the opposite of a harsh drain cleaner that should only be used once the damage is already done.
Who is the Activatop GT1X for?
- Restaurants, bistros, pizzerias, fast food outlets, central kitchens : HACCP compliance + prevention of bottlenecks
- Hotels, nursing homes, retirement homes : grease traps for communal kitchens and dishwashing areas
- Slaughterhouses and food processing plants : disposal of animal fats
- Bakeries, pastry shops, caterers : fatty and sugary residues
- Service stations and garages : hydrocarbon separators and technical tanks
- Campsites, holiday villages, guesthouses : shared septic tanks and grease traps
- Condominiums and property managers : vertical pipes at risk of clogging in the kitchen
- Family septic tanks : private individuals in areas not connected to the sewer system (4 to 8 people)
