Big Dipper ILS-1 In-Line Strainer Spec Sheet Big Dipper Brochure Product Information Case Histories

 

The ILS-1 In-Line Strainer separates and collects coarse solids larger than 1” (25 mm) in diameter found in typical institutional-type kitchen flows. This option is designed to couple with large Big Dipper Grease Removal Units (50 GPM and higher). How does the ILS-1 In-line strainer work? As kitchen effluent flows into the ILS-1In-line strainer from the top, it passes over a grate. This grate has openings that are 1” wide. This strains out any coarse solids that are greater than 1” in diameter. These solids slide down the grate and into a Strainer Basket. This basket is removable, and should be emptied a minimum of once per day, more often if the kitchen is busy. These strained solids may be emptied into a trash receptacle. Meanwhile, the strained effluent exits the unit through a coupling on the bottom. This flow continues on to a Big Dipper® Automatic Grease & Oils Removal Unit. This unit captures and removes incidental solids less than 1” in diameter as well as trapping and removing any free-floating fats, oils and grease.
