2. Installation
SCOPE
This section contains all instructions required for experienced installation personnel to install the SEM
disintegrator and prepare it for production. It is essential to follow all instructions carefully, and in the
sequence presented. Be sure to observe all DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION statements in order to prevent
personal injury or machine damage and all NOTE statements which are designed to assist in the performance
of procedures.
GENERAL
The site of the installation should be prepared in advance. Be certain that the area is clean, level, and free of
obstructions. The site must have a floor rated to easily support the weight of the machine. It is recommended
that the customer talk to their engineer/architect regarding floor type.
Note:
electrical disconnects should be in place prior to installation. Customer may need to talk to a licensed
electrician.
SHIPPING
To prepare the disintegrator for shipment, it is mounted on wooden skids, then blocked and banded to
prevent movement. All non-painted items subject to corrosion are coated with a quality rust preventative and
the machine is then covered with heavy duty polyethylene to protect it from moisture and dirt.
SEM Disintegrators are normally shipped completely assembled unless the size of the machine or an
agreement for special shipping arrangements causes partial disassembly.
UNPACKING
Note: When the machine arrives at your plant, inspect it carefully for shipping damage before
unpacking.
Report any damage immediately to the transporting company that delivered it. Sign the freight bill - noting
all damage. Contact SEM customer service immediately afterwards.
Warning:
if customer doesn’t sign for unit damaged during shipping, customer will be responsible for
repairing all damaged parts and will not be covered under warranty.
If inspection revealed no shipping damage, unpack the unit by removing the polyethylene protective
covering and banding. The machine may now be lifted from the skid. A fork lift is ideal for the purpose, but
care must be taken to properly position the forks. It is recommended to move the machine from the front
side.
CAUTION: do not attempt to lift the disintegrator by means of any shaft or protruding member, especially
the hopper.
