How do I know if my
Endura is the correct size?
|
| |
To ensure that the Endura Grease
interceptor is sufficient to cope with the appliances being
drained, it is important that it is sized correctly. The flow
from kitchen appliances passing through the interceptor must
not exceed 1.6 litres per second (DSG16) or 3.2 Litres per second
(DSG32). A commercial dishwasher may have a discharge capacity
greater than the capability of the interceptor. Therefore, you
will need information from the dishwasher supplier to convert
the water flow through your dishwashers to litres per second.
Dividing the total amount of water discharged to the drain by
the amount of seconds that it takes will do this. Click here
for more information on flow.

What size pipes should
I use on my Endura?
|
| |
The outlet pipe from the Interceptor
to the drainage system must always be 110mm diameter whilst
the inlet pipe from the appliance should be 50mm. Flexible connectors
are supplied as standard with every Endura grease interceptor.

What does the Influent
Control Device do (ICD)?
|
| |
The ICD is necessary to regulate
the flow of influent (waste water and grease) and introduce
air into the system to aid grease separation. The ICD is supplied
as part of the Endura installation package and should be installed
as close as possible to the sink/dishwasher that it serves.
Full installation instructions are supplied with the Endura
and provides a guide as to how it should be installed. N.B.
By omitting the ICD unit, the Endura grease interceptor will
be at least 40% less efficient.
The ICD should be installed between the last appliance and the
grease interceptor. The Influent Control Device has a cleaning
eye that should be checked at the end of the day and any food
particles removed.

What is Grease Digestor?
|
| |
To work efficiently The Endura Grease
Interceptor requires biological additives to break down the
grease. Hunter offers the Endura BioPak a programmable automated
dosing unit, which injects a measured quantity of Bio-G liquid
grease digestor into the system at specified intervals. The
unit is recommended but not compulsory. However, it is important
that some type of degreasing agent is used, as without degreaser
the interceptor will build-up with grease solids rapidly, which
may result in blocked pipes. The 12.5 litre refill pack of Bio-G
will last for approximately three months. Alternatively, BioPlus
Granular Grease Digestor can be introduced manually.
The Endura BioPlus granular digestor must be added daily to
be effective, it is introduced manually by pouring a rounded
scoop of granules into the sink waste and then flushing this
into the Grease interceptor with half a sink of warm water.
This should be done at the end of each working day to allow
the maximum amount of time for the digestor to take effect within
the grease interceptor. A 4x1Kg pack of Bio Plus will last approximately
four months and a scoop is supplied with each tub of granules.
Endra BioPlus and BioPak can be ordered through any Hunter Plastics
stockist.

Will my Endura need
regular maintenance?
|
| |
Your Endura grease interceptor will
need routine periodic cleaning to remove any accumulated grease
and food particles. Continuous and regular use of a grease digestor
will significantly reduce the frequency of grease separator
maintenance. When the unit requires cleaning, the lid should
be removed and the grease scooped out and bagged-up ready for
disposal by the local authority.
Unlike other Grease interceptors, Endura contains fully removable
baffles which can be removed to aid deep-cleaning. Scoop-out
the trapped water and clean the unit and baffles with a solution
of hot soapy water. Replace the baffles and replenish the trap
with water, the lid should then can be screwed back into position.
Hunter recommends that a regular planned maintenance schedule
be instigated to ensure that the interceptor continues to operate
efficiently.
