Cleaning
Refer to the illustration on the next page and follow the steps below to clean the waste handling system.
1. Open the water extractor drain by turning the drain handle to the OPEN position, then open
the main system drain located at the bottom of the pulper/water extractor drain line.
2. Open the water extractor discharge chute cover and lean it against the extractor gearbox, then
remove the water extractor side access door.
For Feed-hood Pulper: Remove splash curtain(s) and release the black rubber retaining handles
holding the hood to the pulper tank. Lift the feed-hood off the pulper tank. Clean and flush the feed-
hood separately if possible.
For Trough-feed Pulper: Remove the round pulper tank cover. Clean and flush the cover separately.
Remove any large waste then use a wash-down hose to flush the trough clean.
3. Use a wash-down hose and plenty of fresh water to thoroughly flush the top of the water extractor.
Make sure the area around and below the water extractor compression cone is clean.
PULP LEFT IN THE AREA OF THE CONE CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE WATER EXTRACTOR.
4. Use the wash-down hose and thoroughly flush all pulp from the water extractor screen. Be sure that
you flush behind the screen assembly, and around the drain/overflow tube. Remove by hand, large
particles remaining in the bottom of the water extractor tank.
5. Inspect the interior of the pulper tank for metal utensils. A strong magnet is located on the bottom of
the pulper tank to attract metal; but, it will not attract silverware or high-quality stainless steel.
Remove by hand any plastics, un-shredded paper, or other deposits.
6. Use a wash-down hose and thoroughly flush the interior of the pulper tank.
Inspect and clean the screen in the bottom of the pulper.
Inspect and clean the cutting blades, blocks and disk.
Inspect and clean the rubber flap and cross-flow piping. (Except trough-fed installations)
Inspect and clean the pulper feed-trough connection. (Trough-fed only)
7. Reassemble the pulper and the water extractor. Make sure all covers and safety switches are in place.
Remove the lock and the lock-out tag on the main circuit breaker switch and turn the power on.
8. Pour ½ cup of a non-foaming liquid detergent (supplied by others) into the pulper tank.
Push the Start push button and run for 10-minutes, then shutdown and drain the system.
9. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean exterior surfaces. Rinse by hand with fresh water.
