Making meaningful connections in Milan – Stand T59, Pavilion 7
Mechline, a proud British manufacturer of innovative catering and hospitality products, is preparing to make a big impact at Host Milano 2025 (17–21 October) as they return with purpose, passion, and a renewed focus on what truly matters to Mechline: hygiene, sustainability, and operational efficiency.
Ahead of this leading industry event, Mechline has been working closely with its European dealer network to understand the real challenges operators face across different regions. As a result, Mechline are approaching the event with a thoughtful, three-pronged approach that puts Hygiene, FOG (Fats, Oils & Grease) Management, and Water Efficiency front and centre.
“We’ve spent the past months speaking directly with our European distributors and listening carefully,” explains Gary Thacker, Market Development Director at Mechline. “What we’ve heard time and again is a rising need for better hygiene practices, effective FOG management, and smarter water use. These aren’t just trends — they’re priorities being driven by new regulations, internal sustainability goals, and a shared responsibility to do better.”
Showcasing Solutions with Purpose
Every product featured on Stand T59 (Pav 7) has been handpicked to support operators in meeting these goals — not just with functionality, but with confidence.
Leading the way are Mechline’s FOG management systems, which includes the popular GreasePak, InterCeptor or BioCeptor. These solutions are designed to trap and treat fats, oils, and grease before they can cause costly blockages or hygiene issues. In real-world trials, kitchens using an InterCeptor verses a BioCeptor tank which includes GreasePak fluid extended the time between FOG collections from 28 days to 12 weeks — a huge improvement in efficiency and peace of mind.
Hygiene will also be a key talking point, with Mechline showcasing its HyGenikx air and surface sanitisation systems. Using powerful UV-C germicidal technology, HyGenikx helps eliminate viruses and bacteria — including harmful pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and Norovirus — supporting cleaner, safer environments in foodservice spaces.
Also debuting in Milan is Mechline’s latest generation of fly control solutions: the CaterZap+ and CaterTTract+ ranges. Both models are designed with energy-saving, long-life LED lamps and smarter functionality, offering highly effective, environmentally friendly insect control. CaterTTract+, in particular, uses a glue board system to quietly and hygienically capture flying insects — perfect for food preparation areas where cleanliness is everything.
Innovation Meets Sustainability
Rounding off the showcase is Mechline’s brand-new AquaTechnix TX-i tap — an intelligent addition to their trusted brassware range. Featuring a highly accurate infrared sensor and Mechline’s smart-valve technology, the TX-i not only ensures reliable hand detection and instant shut-off, but also helps operators save up to 72% more water compared to standard taps. It’s a small change that can make a big difference — to both the planet and the bottom line.
