Fat Trap

Trap your Fat

Pierre Nortje Director of Capcan Ltd approached BEF in 2007 having designed and registered a EU patent for a new type of fat trap. Fat Traps trap fats oils and greases thereby stopping them from entering the waste water system and causing costly blockages. He needed funds to take the product to market and had exhausted all other financial avenues.

His product differs from those already available on the market due to its unique disposable liner, it is also cheaper, smaller, environmentally friendly and easier to maintain than competitors products.

BEF approved a loan and with the help of his mentor he designed a strategy to take the product forward. After making some sales arround the UK he signed a licencing agreement with an established supplier of fat traps, Catering Waste Limited.

Further product development took place to make it British Standard Compliant and a smaller liner was developed to prevent waste coffee granules entering the waste system. The product was rebranded The Renflo Range, and these new innovative products are making in roads into this established market.
