Thermaco Big Dipper W-250-IS Series

The Thermaco Big Dipper W-250-IS series consists of automatic, self-cleaning grease and oil recovery separators designed for floor-mounted or partially recessed installation. These units are engineered to efficiently separate and remove grease and oil from wastewater in commercial kitchens and food service establishments.

Core Features (Common to all models):

  • Automatic Self-Cleaning: A rotating gear oleophilic/hydrophobic skimming wheel automatically removes grease and oil.
  • Programmable Operation: A digital control allows for scheduling skimming cycles.
  • Heating System: A self-regulating electric immersion heater with thermostatic control maintains the grease in a liquid state for effective skimming.
  • User-Friendly Design: Features include quick-release stainless steel lid clamps, a fully removable polymer lid with magnetic tensioners, and a separate, gasketted grease collection container with a handle and spout.
  • Integrated Components: Each unit includes a flow control device, a 1” (25mm) vessel vent, an integral gas trap, and an internal polymer/stainless steel strainer basket for collecting coarse solids.
  • Flexible Installation: The motor assembly and inlet/outlet direction are field-reversible without needing special tools. Two (2) no-hub connectors are provided for plumbing connections.
  • Safety Compliance: The electric assembly is tested to comply with ANSI/UL 73 and/or ANSI/UL 1004 standards, and the motor is equipped with overload protection.
