Aqua Mundus Big Dipper W-200-ISE Automatic Grease Removal Unit

The Aqua Mundus Big Dipper W-200-ISE is an automatic grease removal unit designed to intercept fats, oils, and grease from commercial kitchen wastewater before they enter the drain. Unlike passive grease traps that require manual emptying, the W-200-ISE uses a motorised skimming wheel to continuously collect grease from the water surface and transfer it to an external collection container, with the entire process managed through a built-in 24-hour timer. The result is a unit that operates largely without operator involvement during normal service.

In a working kitchen environment, grease traps are only effective when they are maintained consistently. Manual traps are frequently neglected during busy periods, which leads to blockages, drain odours, and potential compliance issues with water authority discharge requirements. The W-200-ISE addresses this directly by automating the skimming and removal cycle, so grease is extracted on a regular schedule regardless of how demanding the service has been. The internal solids strainer captures food waste separately, keeping the grease collection process unobstructed.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Automatic self-cleaning cycle removes collected grease without manual intervention
• External collection container simplifies disposal and monitoring of grease volumes
• 24-hour programmable timer allows the skimming cycle to run outside service hours
• Compact footprint makes it practical for kitchens with limited plant room or under-counter space
• Corrosion-resistant construction with a stainless steel exterior supports long-term durability in wet environments

Installation uses two 50mm rubber couplers to connect directly to existing kitchen waste pipework, which keeps the installation process straightforward for a qualified plumber. The unit requires an electrical supply to power the motor and integrated heater. It is suitable for installation under a sink, in a plant room, or in other locations close to the waste outlet — the corrosion-resistant materials mean it is not restricted to dry environments. As with any grease management device, correct positioning in the waste run is important to ensure effective interception.

The W-200-ISE is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens — cafés, restaurants, takeaways, and similar food service operations — where there is a need for reliable grease management without the labour overhead of manual trap cleaning. Sites with very high throughput or large numbers of covers may find that a higher-capacity unit better matches their discharge volumes, and it is worth considering the grease retention capacity in relation to your typical weekly output before specifying.
