Big Dipper

Big Dippers are installed to handle kitchen drainwater flows in any size commercial kitchens, removing nearly 98% of the free floating fats, oils, and grease in kitchen effluent. Think of our pretreatment equipment as a self-cleaning grease trap. The Big Dipper line of automatic grease and oil removal systems provides food preparation facilities with an effective alternative to large, in-ground grease traps and manual passive grease traps. 

Point Source

Units in the 20-50 GPM (1.26-3.15 l/s) range typically service more than one fixture or service a single fixture where head pressure is present.

  • Fast Food Restaurants
  • Sandwich Shops
  • Basement or Vault Installations
  • Restaurants on Septic or On-Site Systems
  • Compact Locations

Multiple Source

Units in the 75 to 150 GPM (4.73-9.46 l/s) range are also necessary for basement or locations where significant head pressure is present.

  • Full Service Restaurants & Cafeterias
  • Hotels & Hospitals
  • Casinos
  • Prisons
  • Schools
  • Food Processing Facilities
  • These units are suited for high-flow applications and those applications where multiple fixtures are being serviced.

Superceptor

The Superceptor® works in conjunction with an existing in-ground grease trap. Instead of removing grease from a point-source location, the Superceptor serves as a central grease removal system. It is ideal for those facilities that already have an in- ground trap installed into their system, and also best serves those facilities with a slab foundation. There are a variety of installations for the Superceptor. They can be in-stalled in an equipment room, a vault, or even in an exterior location.
