NEVER inspect or work on or near the cutter chamber without first isolating 

and locking the machine. 

Use of items not approved or manufactured by Sulzer 

The grinder and its components have been designed to ensure that the grinder will operate 

safely within the guidelines covered by legislation. As a consequence, Sulzer has declared 

the machine safe to use for the duty specified as defined by the Declaration of Conformity 

that is issued with this instruction manual. 

The use of replacement items that are not approved by or manufactured by Sulzer may affect the 

safe operation of the grinder and it may therefore become a safety hazard to both operators and 

other equipment. In these instances the declaration provided will therefore become invalid. The 

guarantee referenced in the Terms and Conditions of Sale will also be invalidated if replacement 

items are used that are not approved or manufactured by Sulzer

DISMANTLING ADVICE 

When servicing  the grinder, be certain that the main isolator is tagged out / 

locked out. Serious injury could result from accidental start-up

1.

Disconnect wiring at motor(s) terminal box(es) and tag leads for identification.

2.

Isolate the grinder from influent.

3.

If necessary, the grinder may be completely removed from installation using the

recommended lifting equipment.

4.

Replace the cutter stack with the maintenance screen if required.

5.

When dismantling cutters and spacers, take careful note of the position and orientation of

each component.

CLEANING / INSPECTION

It is important to periodically inspect the grinder (timeframe dependent on usage). 

1.

Steam clean and disinfect all parts of the unit excluding motor, seal assemblies, gear

drive unit and bearings.

2.

Remove any gasket material from joint faces.

3.

Housings should be cleaned thoroughly.

4.

Inspect all parts for excessive wear and replace if necessary.

5.

Sealed bearings cannot be re-greased, replace if necessary.

6.

Inspect gears for wear and damage and replace if necessary.

7.

All cutters and spacers must be clean and free from cracks or excessive wear.

8.

Shafts should be clean and any burrs filed off for easier stacking. Inspect shafts for

excessive wear of hexagonal portion. Replace if necessary.
