McDoanalds

[Richard]

we were sittin around the other day talking about wrapping
(drapping) hoods and we started in on what we thought was the best way to do a McD's hood, we usually pull the fryers and grills out then wrap the hood and tuck the plastic in along the back at the gasket and clamp on the sides (low prox hoods are hateful in my book) dont get me wrong the grease cleans in a snap, but anyway I was just wondering on how some of yall do McD's Ive heard of some cleaners lifting the frame on the fryers and tucking the plastic under it and doing it that way ya maybe that'll work if the base of the plenum goes all the way to the back of the hood but not all of the hoods are like that some have a gap between the plenum and the back wall of the hood anyway i was just curious on how yall deal with them??
and heres another thing........they dont have drains......why is that????

I could spend all day trying to explain it but I think a picture will explain it better, I will post a picture tomorrow, we basically create a pool with the platic to hold the water. check later for a picture, I can explain more then.

This is the method we use, you need to adjust it to the situation, but have always found a way to make it work at McDonalds. It catches 98% of the water if done properly.

This a little better picture, I attached the wrong one the last time.

We service several McD's. All of the units are low shelf and are a issue to hang-but we use 55 gal. plastic drums cut at a 30%point and we attach rope holes on both sides. The drums hold around 20 gallons and the crew is able to bail with a 5 gallon bucket. The system works.

Boy that is alot of 3mil(?) plastic. I went to 1.5 and have had no prblems in two years-big savings.

It's 2 mil, and it takes about 20ft of 10X100 roll to do a McDonalds, we statred doing it this way so we could dump the waste water down the duct. It makes to much of a mess if it is not contained.

suggestion

I would just like to add that I do my reclaiming by using a simple sump pump, like the ones that will pump water out of a basement. I bought it for like 30 or 40 bucks at wal-mart. i just set it down under the hood and it sucks up the water. I then use a squeege vac. to suck the floor dry. Just a suggestion.
