Hospital restaurants and canteens have to cope with the waste fats, oils and grease (FOG) found in food ingredients finding their way into the drainage system. Once there, FOG can start to build up, constricting flow causing blockages, back-ups and unpleasant odours.
To help combat this problem, Winterhalter has developed a safe, long-lasting and extremely-efficient enzyme-based drain maintainer, A81 BLUe, which uses a blend of non-toxic, natural microbes to clear drains of FOG and other accumulated organic matter.
When A81 BLUe is dosed via the Winterhalter dosing system into a drainage system, it creates a biofilm which adheres to the walls to produce a continuous and renewable supply of highly-active enzymes for FOG degradation.
A81 BLUe is more effective than conventional drain cleaners/maintainers as the biofilm is highly resistant to general cleaning fluids, thus providing longer-lasting protection than using high-alkaline or caustic-based products, which have minimal contact time with the walls.
A81 BLUe is supplied in a concentrated form, which should be introduced into the drainage system before the main entry point of the organic waste. This can be done at the end of each working day either manually or with an automatic dispenser.
The bacterial strains in A81 BLUe are naturally occurring, but should be used with care and according to the instructions. An installation of the A81 BLUe system comprises a 5litre holster, a battery-operated dispensing system, pipe connection, and user guide.
