The scraper is adapted to embrace 1 to 3 grit chambers and has at each end a 2-wheel drive that runs along a rail, alternatively on wheels of polyurethan which are running on the tank wall. The collection of grease is done either at the inlet or at the outlet of the basin. The scraper normally runs automatically and is controlled by a timer that controls the operation time back and forth.

The scraper can also be operated in manual mode.
