As greasy water flows through the interceptor’s screen basket and strikes the inlet baffle, solids are removed and the water velocity slows.

The water enters the grease retention area, where the grease separates by gravity floatation and remains between two baffles.

Thermostatically controlled electric immersion heaters keep collected grease in a liquid state in preparation for skimming.

The Diskimmer, an electrically powered device that operates on a time or event controlled basis, skims the liquefied grease off the water surface.

Grease adheres to its rotating plastic disc until it passes between scraper blades.

The skimmed grease is directed into a steep sloped trough and drained through a conduit into a disposal container or barrel and recovered for proper grease recycling.
