V RANGE POTATO PEELING MACHINES
Machines installed on a draining board can be provided with a sink skip straining basket to
prevent sludge blockage of sink drain outlet pipe. A special outlet elbow is provided for this
purpose.
A trap is not necessary if the discharge is into a gully or an intercepting tank although a trap
must be provided in the outlet pipe away from an intercepting tank. A trap is necessary if the
outlet pipe connects directly into a drain. When using an intercepting tank, run waste outlet to
discharge direct into the sludge basket. The waste outlet must not obstruct removal of the
basket.
Another adaptation is to couple the outlet to an IMC Waste Disposer. This disposes the sludge
from the potato peeler swiftly and efficiently while retaining its invaluable services as a normal
food waste disposer.

The waste ejector is a fitting which dilutes the sludge effluent to enable it to flow easily through
the drains without fear of blockage.
Waste ejectors are not recommended in the following circumstances:
1
A pipe run exceeding 15m between the machine and main drain.
2
When a fall of 1:15 cannot be achieved.
3
When the piping is exceptionally complex.
In any of these cases, use instead an interceptor tank. Water for the ejector must be taken
from a storage tank not from a rising main, and must incorporate a stopcock.
Should the head of water from a storage tank be lower than the recommended 3m head it is
necessary to drill out the jets in the ejector to 6mm diameter or refer back to the
manufacturers for advice. The unit incorporates an air break to prevent back siphonage.

If the waste ejector is not fitted to the peeler when it is arrives, proceed as follows:
1
Remove existing waste outlet from the peeler.
2
Decide on which side the outlet pipe is to be connected and, if necessary, remove cover
plate and gasket from the alternative waste outlet and refit to the original.
3
Fit ejector unit and gasket in place of the waste outlet.
4
The ejector unit has a 1/2" BSP connection for water supply on each side of the unit.
Select which is to be used for water connection and use the plug for sealing off the other.
5
Connect the rubber hose between connector at the top of the unit and sprinkler at the top
of the cylinder.
6
Proceed with the installation of the waste pipe.
