About the Wheel Wiper
About the Wheel Wiper
If you notice a Big Dipper with an empty grease collector, ask the kitchen operator if it has been recently emptied. Otherwise, the unit may not be gathering grease as it should. Luckily, there's usually a simple solution -- cleaning the wiper blade assembly. Share this brief overview of this vital but oft-overlooked part in Big Dipper automatic grease removal units.
About the Strainer Basket
About the Strainer Basket
Another possible reason a Big Dipper automatic grease trap you're inspecting isn't skimming the usual amount of grease into the grease collector is an overflowing strainer basket. The basket should be emptied daily, a task that is commonly overlooked because the basket is hidden inside the tank. Share with the FSE this brief reference on the internal strainer basket.
About the Thermistor
About the Thermistor
