Waste Ejector - IMC SP Series Installation, Operating And Maintenance Manual

WASTE EJECTOR

The waste ejector is an optional fitting that dilutes the waste sludge to enable it to flow easily through
the drains without fear of blockage.
Waste Ejectors are not recommended in the follow circumstances;
· A pipe run exceeding 15m between the machine and main drain
· When a fall of 1:15 cannot be achieved
· When piping is exceptionally complex
In any of the above cases, an interceptor tank is recommended.
Fitting the waste ejector
If the waste ejector is not fitted to the peeler when it arrives, it can be fitted as follows:
Remove the existing waste outlet. Decide on which side the outlet pipe is to be connected and, if
necessary, remove the blanking plate and gasket from the alternative waste outlet position and refit to
the other side. Fit the waste ejector and gasket in place of the waste outlet.
The waste ejector has a ½" BSP connection for the water supply on each side of the unit. Select which
is to be used for the water connection and utilise the plug for sealing off the other. Connect the hose
between the connector at the top of the waste ejector and the water inlet on the peeler lid.
Waste ejector adjustments
When the pipework is complete, set the ejector adjustments to give the correct water flow through the
machine. Two adjusting screws and lock nuts are provided for this purpose. The top screw controls
flow through the peeler and the lower screw controls the jet to the waste pipe. Adjust the top screw
until the flow through the machine is between 2.25 and 7 litres per minute, then tighten the lock nut.
Set the lower screw to allow a jet of water into the waste pipe of 2.25 to 3.5 litre per minute, then
tighten the lock nut.
