Clearing a Jam
Important:
In case of emergency or overfeeding, opening the front door of the disintegrator cabinet will
disengage a safety limit switch and immediately shut down the machine. This procedure should be
reserved for emergency situations only.
Bypassing the timed shutdown can result in a jam.
To clear a jammed or locked rotor:
1.
Make sure selector switch is in
OFF
position.
2.
De-energize machine using proper LOTO procedures.
3.
Open front door of disintegrator cabinet.
4.
Remove plate on front hopper to access the cutting area.
5.
Remove loose product (SEM recommends wearing cut resistant gloves).
6.
Rotate rotor toward the rear of the machine (using the drive belt) to free its movement.
Note:
Make sure that the rotor can make two full rotations. Otherwise, the machine is still
considered jammed and will still have material in the chamber.
Hopper access panel
To restart:
1.
Re-secure plate on front hopper.
2.
Connect to power.
3.
If necessary, reset overload switch or circuit breaker (located in electrical panel on rear of

4.
Close main door.
5.
Turn selector switch to
START
position.
NOTE:
Repetitive jams also can be a result of knives that require sharpening. If machine has no power,
reset circuit breakers and overload on electrical panel.
