Systems for Com mplete Disposal

Grease Tra aps according to EN 1825: Operation/ /Complete Disposal

Disposal process to be accomplished during nonrequired i d ti time Recycling truck with vacuum pump needed

Grease Tra aps according to EN 1825: Operation/ /Complete Disposal

correct sized grease separators have to be emptied and cleaned at t least l t every four f weeks k in accordance with local codes, the appliance of grease level sensors may be allowed to enable disposal on requirement

Grease Tra aps according to EN 1825: Operation/ /Complete Disposal

Process steps during disposal:

Removal of entire content

Cleaning of inne er tank

Re-filling with operating water

Systems for Par rtial Disposal

Grease Tra aps according to EN 1825: Operation/ /Partial Disposal

extraction of grease and sludge in separate barrels Extraction can be accomplished during operating hours no recycling truck needed

Grease Tra aps according to EN 1825: Operation/ /Complete Disposal

Process steps during disposal:

Heating of grease retention area

Extra action of grea ase and sludge

Filled barrels have to be replaced with empty ones
