5.2 Weekly or As Required
Meiko recommends that the following
cleaning procedures be performed at least
once per week. Depending on the type of
waste being processed and the amount of
buildup on the perforated cylinder, it may be
necessary to perform these steps on a more
frequent basis.
CAUTION
Never use a high-pressure water spray when
cleaning the machine.
1. Open the water separator tower access
door and top cover.
2. Carefully lift the screw/perforated cylinder
assembly out of the tower.
3. Slide the screw out of the perforated
cylinder.
4. Thoroughly clean both the screw and the
cylinder using a low-pressure hose or
spray nozzle.
5. Flush the interior of the tower chamber.
Water (and waste residue) will be flushed
into the water tank.
6. Clean the loading chute, cutting wheel,
scrap screen, water tank and water level
sensors as described in
Section 5.1,
Daily Cleaning.
7. Leave the doors of the machine open.
Allow the interior of the machine, as well
as the scrap screen, screw and perforated
cylinder, to air dry thoroughly overnight.
8. Reassemble the screw into the perforated
cylinder.
9. Replace the screw/perforated cylinder
assembly into the tower. Note that the
flange on the bottom of the cylinder has
openings for the two location pegs in the
floor of the tower.
10.The base of the screw shaft has a hex
key pattern that fits into the motor drive
assembly. Reach up to the top of the screw
and slowly rotate the assembly until it can
drop firmly into place.
11. Check that the screw is properly seated
by checking the tower’s top cover. If the
screw is installed correctly, the top cover
will close easily and snap into place. If
neccessary, repeat Step 10 until the shaft
is seated correctly.
12.Close the tower’s top cover. Then, close
the front access door.
13.Reassemble all components into the
waste pulper. Replace the cutting wheel
access flap into its original position.
Remember to close the drain valve before
operating the machine!
