Simultaneously, the motor which rotates the skimming wheel is activated. This ensures that all fats and oils are liquefied before they are automatically removed from the tank.

When the skimming action begins, the electric heating element is activated and heats the system to 115-130 o F. An internal timer periodically activates the solids transfer pump, which whisks the trapped solids out of the solids retention area and discharges them to the outlet of the Big Dipper to join the cleaned water exiting the system.Īn independent digital timer is set to activate the grease removal process. The Self-Cleaning Process Incidental solids and trapped grease are automatically removed from the Big Dipper. Any food solids or debris contained in the drain water entering the Big Dipper are separated by the filter basket and held in the solids retention area. Heavier clean water exits under the outlet baffle. The Separation Process As drain water containing free-floating grease and oils enters the Big Dipper, the lighter fats and oils immediately separate, pass through the solids filter basket to the top of the tank, and are trapped in the grease retention area. “Cleaned” water exits the unit and flows into the facility drain lines. The unit automatically skims the trapped grease & oils at least once per day and transfers the grease & oils to a collection container.Ī digital timer controls the self cleaning operation, activating the skimming wheel at the proper time.

The grease & oils separate from the effluent and rise to the surface of the stainless steel tank. Incidental food solids in the kitchen flow are trapped in a strainer basket for removal. As greasy kitchen effluent drains from commercial kitchen fixtures, the unit traps the grease & oils. The Big Dipper system’s compact footprint allows installation directly at the source where grease problems originate.īig Dippers with Internal Strainer Baskets (IS) are automatic, self-cleaning devices. (which seems to have same receiver hardware as Big Dipper F-02) and I had same problems as magic explained above in this thread.
