Acceptable Materials and Required Deconstruction It's imperative that this section is not overlooked while using the Model SSD1-HS. Most media types contain some materials that are hazardous to both the machine and the user. Certain devices, such as phones and tablets, will need to be deconstructed to remove parts including batteries, thick metal pieces, glass, and more.
Feed Rate Important: See the following chart for feed rates and throughputs for various types of media that can be disintegrated using the SSD1-HS. Important: The feed rate should be adjusted accordingly depending on the size of the media being destroyed. Larger material should have a reduced feed rate.
2. Grease with Gulflex “A” multi-purpose, or equivalent. Filter Change: Approximately every 16-20 hours: 1. De-energize unit using proper LOTO procedures. SEM recommends wearing a mask, gloves, and eye protection 2. Remove the vacuum from the vacuum cabinet. 3. Unlock the tabs on the sides and pull the vacuum from the container. Remove the hose if necessary.
