HDD Granulator 11
7.2 Feeding in Batch Mode
When operating the machine without a screen and with light shredding material like CD
´s, floppy disks, video cassettes and the like, it will provide for high throughput capacities
and cope with larger quantities of shredding material. Open the top cover of the feed
hopper with the handle, then feed a larger quantity of shredding material into the hopper in
one go. Please note: To avoid jamming start with smaller quantities and increase them
step by step until you have established the maximum amount of material the machine can
cope with. Close the top cover of the hopper after feeding and then press the start-
pushbutton of the machine. It will start operation and process the material in the feed
hopper. When you hear by the sound of the machine, that it has processed most or all of the
shredding material, you can open the top cover (which will switch off the machine
immediately for safety reasons), feed further material and then proceed as prescribed
before.
7.3 Feeding single Data Carriers
When operating the machine with a screen and with heavy shredding material like HDD´s,
it will provide for low throughput capacities and cope with single or very few data carriers
at a time. Press the start-button of the machine and then put one data carrier after the
other into the feed slot in the top cover of the hopper.
Please note: To avoid jamming feed only one data carrier at a time. With the 6 mm
screen installed, drop one HDD every 3 minutes maximum. Although the HDD
may have disappeared earlier, there will be still a lot of pieces between the cutting shafts
and the screen which need to be processed further until the next HDD can be feeded.
Feeding HDD´s in a faster cycle may generate a jam of the machine.
7.4 Checking the Filling Level of the Waste Bin
Regularly check the filling level of the waste bin to ensure that it is not overfeeded or
getting too heavy. Open the door (which will stop operation of the machine immediately
for safety reasons) and pull out the waste bin a little. Check if the bin can still cope with
the weight of the collected metal scrap and that the operator or any involved
transport- or handling equipment can still handle the bin properly and that it still
provides for sufficient collecting capacity for further operation. If any of the before
mentioned does not apply, bring the bin to the appropriate place and empty it. Put the
empty bin into the chassis, close the door and start operation by pressing the start-
pushbutton again.
