INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance DESCRIPTION OF SHREDDER AND TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SHREDDER The shredder consists of a shredding chamber which contains two or three rotating shafts supplied with one or more hook circular blades of different thicknesses, depending on the material for which the shredder is used.
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 3.2 OPERATING PRINCIPLE The material to be treated is sent into the feeding hopper which conveys it to the shredding chamber. The two blade holding shafts, while rotating, take the material towards the centre, the blades catch onto the material with the beaks placed on their circumference and cut it.

INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION 4.1 PACKING, HANDLING, SHIPMENT AND TRANSPORT 4.1.1 Packing and shipment The shredder is dismantled in the main parts upon shipment: hopper, shredding chamber, switchboard, and supporting stand. The machine, depending on the case, is delivered in one of the following arrangements: Sufficiently blocked and covered on a truck, unpacked.
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 4.1.4 Prearrangements for installation Before starting assembly operations, make sure that the flooring can sustain the shredder's weight (see Table 3-1 – Weights) also considering the coefficient of security stated by the regulations in force. The shredder must be installed on a suitable site, such as to allow normal machine running operations and routine maintenance (see the attached drawing and paragraph 2.7.2 Installation site).
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 4.2 LIFTING AND ASSEMBLY OF THE SHREDDER DANGER The shredder chamber cannot be lifted by hooking onto the hopper, nor the wholly assembled machine can be lifted this way, since the hopper hooking holes are not foreseen to withstand the whole machine weight.

INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 5.2 FIRST START-UP (NO LOAD START-UP) IMPORTANT INFORMATION The start sequence is also reproduced in general terms in the attached flowchart. See chapter 9. CAUTION The no-load running of the shredder with new blades must be limited to the few minutes that are deemed necessary to check the machine for proper operation, otherwise the possible friction in-between the new blades can overheat them endangering their life severely.
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 5.3 ADJUSTMENTS ON BOARD OF THE SHREDDER (EXCEPT FOR F10RI SERIES) CAUTION Since the adjustments on the electronic controls are particularly delicate they are carried out only by the manufacturer at the machine start-up.
EN 60204. The customer test results must be send to intimus Technical Service. CAUTION If this data will be missing by the Customer intimus International GmbH will cancel any guarantee on the machine. 95399 1 11/18 56 / 83...
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance SHREDDER OPERATION At this point, once the first no-load run has been carried out and the relative checks and tests have been made, the shredder is ready to be put into service.

INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 6.1.2 Starting sequence The shredder start is manual-operated. Proceed as follows • Turn the MAIN SWITCH to position 1: the white signal lamp MAINS will light up. • Push the RESET button: the yellow signal lamp will start blinking, thus signalling that the machine is ready to operate, and therefore the maximum attention must be paid.
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 6.2 SHREDDER STOP 6.2.1 Normal stop To stop the shredder in normal work conditions, press the STOP BLADES-button and check that the green light BLADES WORK, which signals the shredder direction, extinguishes. 6.2.2 Stop at the end of work To stop the shredder in normal work conditions, press the STOP BLADES-button and check that the green light BLADES WORK which signals the shredder direction, extinguishes.
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 6.3.2 Automatic reverse (only when the machine is set for intermittent working) Fit the jumper J3 (as well as J1). This is used to provide an automatic reverse at the end of a working time to free the blades from any material which may remain trapped in excessive quantity in the lower part of the chamber.
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 6.4 ANOMALOUS SITUATIONS, EMERGENCIES, ALARMS CAUTION Should one of the anomalous operating conditions described in the trouble-shooting table occur, remember that the operator is only allowed to stop the machine. He must then turn to skilled personnel for the removal of the cause of such anomalous condition.

7.3.6 Gears lubrication for series HDD Gladiator EVERY 100 WORKING HOURS Lubricate the gears adding 100 g of grease E.P. from the greasing point on the cover or removing the cover (machine must be stopped).
Table 7-3 – Grease for electric motors bearings for operating temperatures up to 70°C QUANTITY OF GREASE PER SHREDDER SERIES WORKING HOURS BEARING HDD Gladiator CAUTION Vertical electric motors should be greased twice as often as horizontal motors. Regreasing time should be reduced if bearing operating temperature is in excess of 70°C.
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 7.3.8 Check and inspection of the blades pack Being the loading hopper completely closed, it will not be possible to check the blade set condition from the outside. For this reason the hopper is hinged so that it will be possible to tilt it.
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 7.4 BLADE SHARPENING The blades perform their best service when their profile is perfectly sharp-edged and cutting. Obviously, their working capacity decreases as wear increases. It is therefore advisable to re- sharpen the blades when their hooks are rounded and worn. "A"...
INDUSTRIAL SHREDDER Instruction for use and maintenance 7.5 SHREDDER DEMOLITION Since there are different provisions in force in different countries, the laws and prescriptions imposed by the local government of the concerned country must be kept.
