MAG is the Australian distributor of Thermaco Big Dipper® & EZKlear Grease Traps.
For more than 30 years, Thermaco’s Big Dipper® Automatic Grease Removal traps have protected food service establishments and municipal sewer collection systems.
Big Dipper® units are an easy to install, cost-effective alternative to large gravity grease interceptors while offering greater protection than traditional under-the-sink passive traps. Not only is the installed cost less than a traditional interceptor, it is in the long run where the Big Dipper® truly provides value! No longer are expensive, regular pumpout fees and disposal costs required as grease is automatically isolated in the collection container.
And with space limitations in most kitchens, it’s no wonder the Big Dipper® is the most well-known, respected name in grease separation today.

Back Beat Grease with the Big Dipper®
- Thermaco’s Big Dipper® Automatic Grease and Oils Removal System removes free-floating (non-emulsified) grease and oils from kitchen drain water flows. Grease build up within a building’s plumbing drainage system is a major cause of problems due to drain line blockages and create health and safety hazards within the facility itself. Proper installation of a Big Dipper® can reduce or eliminate grease problems.
- Use of the Big Dipper® reduces costly sewer surcharges and fines through efficient separation and removal of grease & oils. The Big Dipper® also helps reduce or eliminate pumping and disposal costs associated with other grease traps or interceptors. The recovered grease & oils are substantially waterfree and suitable for recycling by local rendering and/or biodiesel companies.
- To ensure food scraps and solids are not forced down sinks, you can use the sink trap which has a basket in the sink and shut off valve mechanism. When the basket is removed for general emptying and cleaning, it is then refitted back into place for the water to drain away.

Big Dipper® Operation
- The Big Dipper® operates in 2 stages. The grease entering the unit is trapped, then the unit automatically skims the trapped grease into a separate grease collection container. A timer controls the self cleaning operation activating the skimming wheel at the proper time. Cleaned water exits the unit and flows into the drain lines.
- Incidental solids in the kitchen flow are trapped in a strainer basket for removal.
- Ongoing maintenance is easy and simple – the internal solid strainer and grease container should be checked daily and emptied as required.
- Every 3-4 months, thoroughly clean the unit by way of a wetvac to ensure all suspended solids and components are clean. Check the timer to ensure proper operation.
