Slightly off point, but my son has a sandwich shop, and the grease trap is expensive to clean ($100 per time), and he and/or I have been doing it, with an empty 1 gal can as a bucket.

Would a hand crank grease pump work to pump to a 20 gal. drum that could be carried outside and carried to the sewer plant? Would the cooking grease be too thick?

I tried to post this once before, but never say it displayed, so excuse me if it has shown up.

Thanks for any advice.

This one's right up my alley. I am a maint. supt. at a large country club. We have 4 kitckens. (with deep fryers) We have a pump and filter system that cleans the grease, so that it extends the usable life of the grease. The filter cart is available from PITCO and several other equipment makers. We drain the grease into a "grease recyclers container" and NEVER put it into the sewers. (Or the grease trap) Warm the grease slightly before attemting to pump it, and it will flow MUCH easier. Nearly any pump that will handle oil, will handle cooking grease. We have even used a "shop vac" to clean out equipment when the pump isn't available. I don't know where you are located, but look in the yellow pages, and see if there is a "Certified Service Center" near you. They can put you on to whatever it is that you need to "equip" your commercial kitchen. Hope this is of some help, John

Geez theres something I had forgotten about. I worked for 1 month one year during summer break from college at a MacDonalds and we had a fryolator grease cleaner too. Man I hated that those fry vats, what a terrible job.

I finally after a month told the owner to "Take this job and stuff it!" What a horrible place, I was treated like a slave all for minimum wage.

Most pump supply stores sell sludge pumps that will pump this and will pass 1" solids.

I'd say a pump made to pump 80/140 weight oil might work for you

Thanks for the responses. The main thing I want to help my son with is 1. getting the grease out of the in floor trap with less hand work (ugh!!!) and 2. into 5 gal containers, or perhaps something larger, to transport it to the dump or sewer plant.

Cost is very much a factor. Will the crank handle pumps for pumping diesel that you see on the back of pickup trucks, on top of a tank, work on this grease??

The grease comes not from deep fryers or even grills, but from dish washing and the pouring of "au jus" into the drain. The grease is about the consistency of fairly warm Crisco....it will pour.

Thanks again.

not sure but I think one made for light oils would work some thing like the ones used for pumping oils
