) In previous controls, the ram would stop in its present position in the event of a high pressure “Container
Full” alarm. The ram will now ret
urn to its fully retracted position. This better protects the slide plate from
fulling trash.
11) Do not remove power to the controls with the ram fully extended. This can result in damage to the
slide plate and voids the machine warranty.
OPTIONS
1)
To add additional operator protection, exchange the emergency stop pushbutton for a key lock
version.
2)
A container away limit switch, which prevents the compactor from operating if a container is not
attached to the compactor, can be added.
3)
A throught door can be added to allow access to a compactor located on the first floor
CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION
WARNING
Only experienced personnel should attempt to install, service, or operate this equipment. Some of the
procedures require the opening of the front cover on the control box. This exposes potentially lethal electrical
voltage.
This style of compaction system is designed for use in a
heated indoor facility
having level access to the
compacted refuse pickup point. Ramps or sills can only be navigated with special handling equipment to
accommodate the wheeled refuse containers used in the system. The compactor may also be loaded
manually.
Read the entire Installation Chapter before installing the
Compactor. It is assumed that a specific location for
the compactor has already been established with the help of the
compactor’s representative.
An experienced
outside installation service organization may also be involved in the installation.
1)
Position the compactor with its hopper under the building’s refuse chute.
In new construction
involving a metal refuse chute, the chute will normally have been supplied in a configuration to feed directly
into the compactor without modification or addition. In existing installations, a transition is generally required
to interface the compactor hopper to the bottom delivery end of the building refuse chute.
This transition should be of all-welded construction to prevent refuse hang-up on exposed bolts. Use welded
angle iron sections as corner elements and hang the component from the ceiling of the compactor room. If
the transition is to be welded to the compactor hopper, brace the hopper as needed.
2)
The compactor must be anchored. Mounting holes are in all legs of the compactor. The compactor
must be installed on a level floor with the four legs on the same level plain. Use a level to check level. If
necessary, place shims under the legs of the machine to level it to its final horizontal position.
