ACO Passavant – Commercial Grade Grease traps

Who are we?

We are ACO, short for the Ahlmann Company. We’re a family enterprise founded by Josef-Severin Ahlmann in 1940s, Germany. We are the pioneers behind ground breaking drainage solutions using polymer concrete, and following great success, we have since expanded worldwide. ACO are the global industry leaders across Europe, the USA, Asia and Australasia, with manufacturing facilities, subsidiaries and over 3800 employees in more than 40 countries. ACO Pty Ltd headquarters can be found in Sydney, Australia, with offices and warehouses located in South East Asia and the South Pacific. Today, the ACO Group is known for our extensive range of industry leading drainage solutions which underpins its global tagline ‘ACO. The Future of Drainage.’

So we think it’s time we introduced you to the newest member of the family.

We’ve launched ACO Passavant, a dedicated website to discover our range of gravity grease traps. In the hospitality industry, drainage is probably the last thing on your mind. But an inadequate wastewater management system doesn’t just leave customers with a bad smell – it can have a much longer lasting impact. Mismanaged wastewater compromises our infrastructure, creating hazards for our health and hygiene, workplace health and safety, piping structures, our flora and fauna and general environmental quality. By not managing wastewater properly, we are not only facing steep repair bills, but we are susceptible to serious consequences, including damaging our ecosystem and breaching legal statutes put in place to protect everyone’s safety and wellbeing. The downstream effects of poor wastewater management are well known worldwide as seen at ‘Fatberg’ in Durham, United Kingdom where the cumulative consequences of a city’s inadequate wastewater management network surfaced in the mainstream media.

We all have a part to play to minimise waste and dispose of it properly.

No matter what facility you’re designing, we have the right drainage solution for you. We offer product advice and solutions for commercial kitchens, food courts, hotels, restaurants, hospital kitchens, cafeterias, canteens, cafes, butchers, meat, food and ready-made meal processing facilities and factories, and much, much more.

We have the solution to your individual drainage problem.

We help eliminate waste from fats, oils and greases (FOGs) entered through sinks, dishwashers, kitchen appliances and other drainage outlets with our grease traps. In Australia and overseas, councils and water authorities require you to install certified grease traps that comply with local regulations. We distribute different grease traps depending on your bespoke circumstances. We’ll help you assess the capacity needed for the volume of grease, the placement of your trap, as well as any other requirements or approval guidelines that you need from the construction and installation of your grease trap for the establishment.

We supply two categories of grease traps:

The EcoJet is our above ground grease trap system, guaranteeing over 25 years of high performance usage.
