THE GREASETRAP

Centrifugal Upblast Exhaust Fan

The Empire upblast GREASETRAP is ideal for use in commercial kitchens over grilles, charcoal broilers, deep fat fryers, steam tables, ranges, dishwashers and other appliances, both gas fired and electric. Greasetraps provide a sure, steady exhaust and are constructed to operate dependably under severe conditions imposed by the exhaust system.

Sturdy construction features include: a durable spun aluminum housing with rolled exterior edges, prewired motors protected and out of the airstream, a NEMA weatherproof disconnect switch, built-in electrical conduit and an external grease drain. GREASETRAP units comply with NFPA 96 and are UL 762 Listed for removal of cooking vapors. The fans are Certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
