HEPWORTH P.M.E. INTERCEPTORS:
When designing our line of interceptors, we have kept in mind the fact that these units must be
for practical applications. As a result, the units embody practical features that make installation
easier and also simplify cleaning and servicing.
APPLICATION:
The interceptor is a necessary Trap supplied by Hepworth P.M.E where grease, fats, oils or other
similar line clogging contaminants are present in waste water that must be disposed off through
the sanitary system. The problem of preventing grease from entering drainage lines should
always be considered when designing the plumbing drainage system in any Restaurant, Cafeteria,
Hotel, School, Hospital, Institutional or commercial building having facility for the preparation
and serving of food in quantity. In these installation, as well as commercial food processing
plants, dairies and other industries where grease and fats are a by‐products and efficient
“Hepworth” interceptor should be installed to prevent this material for entering the drainage
line.
HOW THE INTERCEPTOR OPERATES.
Baffle plates and sediment basket are scientifically placed to allow efficient separation of grease
oils and clogging contaminant’s can be easily removed. Water draining to the interceptor passes
through the inlet pipe into the sediment basket. As the water enters the Basket at a controlled
rate of flow it is free of turbulence. It then Passes over a series of separator baffles which are
designed to cause greases, fats and oils to become separated and released from the waste water.
Once released, these contaminants rise to the top of the interceptor by natural flotation and are
accumulated until removed. The waste water now relieved of over 90% of the contaminant oils
and greases, continues to flow through the interceptor into the sanitary system.

PRACTICAL FEATURES:
The one piece cover used on the interceptor is equipped with a single loc and lift ( two on
large size ), the locking device is a simple part of the cover assembly.
A soft flat neoprene gasket is firmly attached to the body of all interceptors. This eliminates
the gasket tearing loose every time the cover is removed.
Interceptors have an air relief / vent to eliminate the possibility of siphon age.
MAINTENANCE:
All interceptors must be cleaned regularly. The frequency of grease removal is dependent upon
the capacity of the interceptor and the quantity of grease in the waste water. The cleaning
interval can vary from once a week to once in several weeks. When this period is deter minded,
we recommend regular cleaning at this interval in order to maintain proper operating efficiency.
Solids that collect in the interceptor through settling should also be removed at the same time of
the grease removal
