Dry Basket Arrestor®
These products are intended for use in commercial and domestic kitchens to screen out and retain solid waste from the wastewater. Screening is achieved by means of a perforated basket. The basket can be removed when full, emptied into a bin and consigned to land fill. A secondary screening plate fitted below the basket will hold the solid waste to protect downstream equipment in the event that the sink is emptied without the basket being in position. There has been widespread specification of In-Sink Dry Basket Arrestor® products by Trade Waste Management bodies attached to Water Boards, Shires and City Councils or municipal authorities over recent years.
The increasing use of the products has resulted in more efficient grease trap function and management while at the same time preventing solid waste from entering sewerage systems. Vinidex acknowledges the extra demands using these products have on the average commercial kitchen. Kitchen staff want to be fast and efficient so the Dry Basket Arrestor® must be "user friendly", simple and easy to operate.
Benefits of Vinidex Dry Basket Arrestor®
The solids contained in waste water discharges are a major threat to the efficient operation of grease traps, sewerage infrastructure and treatment plants. Of equal concern is the growing threat to the environment of untreated waste water.
As a result, an increasing number of trade waste regulatory bodies now require screening devices in sinks and floors that prevent unfiltered waste water reaching grease traps and arrestors or the sewerage system.
Vinidex In-Sink Dry Basket Arrestor® (In-Sink DBA®) and In-Floor Dry Basket Arrestor® (In-Floor DBA®) easily meet these requirements by guaranteeing the removal of solid waste. In addition to the double filtering system a shut off valve or an additional fixed screening plate prevents waste water discharges when the baskets are removed for cleaning / emptying. This can significantly reduce operational costs, as well as protecting sewerage infrastructure and reducing environmental impacts.
