product development with the Lo-Pro model being introduced in late 2008 and now being followed in the 10th anniversary year of the product, by the latest additions of 7, 10 and compact 15gpm models." The new models which launched this year were shown for the first time at NAFEM 2011. Drawing on all of the proven elements of the range, like the EZ-Open cover latching system, the load rated and odor-tight cover, removable baffles, and of course PDI Approval, the new models fit right in to the Endura family of products. There are, however, a number of new design elements that have been incorporated. "The new compact interceptors use a development of our patented baffle system," said Bird. "The effectiveness and capacity of smaller units is often questioned by code officials and local jurisdictions. These new units are just as efficient as their larger hydromechanical counterparts, the 7gpm model, for instance, achieving over 95 percent efficiency during independent third-party evaluation for PDI." Bird went on to explain: "This con- sistency of performance is upheld by the new diffuser baffle that has been Canplas (Con't. from p. 1) incorporated into these units. This lengthens the flow path of the grease and waste water through, and in doing so actively promotes FOG (Fats, Oil and Grease) separation at lower flow rates." In addition to showing the new compact interceptors, Canplas pre- viewed another new product—the Endura Solids Interceptor. "The man- agement of solid material in a grease interceptor is equally important to that of the grease itself," commented Bird. "We always look for ways to improve performance and the new Solids Interceptor certainly fits this bill. It will be available as both a complete stand-alone solids interceptor that can be used in conjunction with any instal- lation where solids accumulation is an issue, and secondly as a retrofittable accessory directly into any of the full height Endura models." More information about this new addition and the full line of Endura products is available at www.endura interceptor.com. Be sure to add Canplas to your must-see list at the 2011 NRA Show. Canplas is part of the Aliaxis Group of companies, a worldwide manufacturer of plastic products for the building and construction industries. reusable cotton towels and sanitizing solution were 45 times dirtier and left 19 times more coliforms on surfaces AFTER use 2 . In short, the traditional method in use by most operators today is potentially doing more harm than good, particularly at the end of a given shift or when routine inspections are not part of sanitation protocol. Why take the risk? Take the leap. Try Table Turners for 30 days in your operation and see if you don't see a dif- ference in table cleanliness AND con- sumer satisfaction. The same study which uncovered the 10-to-1 preference for a pre-moistened wipe solution also revealed that consumers would be 15 times more likely to return to an estab- lishment that uses a single wipe to clean each table vs. a reusable cotton cloth and sanitizer system 3 . A recent study commissioned by Cintas showed that 74 percent of restau- rant guests STRONGLY AGREED that they would NOT RETURN to an estab- lishment where they encountered dirty tables 4 . That statistic trumps the num- ber who would not return for poor serv- ice or dirty floors and as many who cited unclean restrooms as a reason to Sani Professional (Con't. from p. 1) stay away. The numbers don't lie, and neither do the words of some early adopters of this innovative turnkey solution for this troublesome touch point. Read on for testimonials* in support of this new method your customers will notice and thank you for. *"I was blown away when I saw the hostess cleaning with a Table Turner and not the nasty spray bottle and rag most fast food places use, regardless if cus- tomers are present or not." "The positive feedback is daily. Also, the health department was very pleased at our buffet store. Thanks for a great product!" "We are using the table wipes in six restaurants now; and we've had no ServiceCheck™ issues. We used to get a call a week complaining about wiping tables with a dirty towel or tables and chairs with the same towel, but not anymore!"* 1,3 ELQ Market Research, 2010 2 University of Arizona; 2006 4 Cintas; 2010 *Names and establishments for testimo- nials available upon request: visit www.wipeyourworldclean.com.
