Greasebuster™

FAT SKIMMER INSTRUCTION INFORMATION

THE GREASEBUSTER SKIMMER IS DESIGNED FOR THE REMOVAL OF SURFACE FATS, OILS AND

GREASE FROM TANKS AND SILOS.

THE GREASEBUSTER CONSISTS OF A HYDROSCOPIC BELT WHICH ATTRACTS OILS AND REJECTS

WATER. BY ROTATING THE BELT THROUGH THE FATS, OILS AND GREASE THE WASTE IS REMOVED

FROM THE SURFACE AND DEPOSITED IN A COLLECTION TRAY.

THE OPTIONAL PADDLE WHEEL HELPS TO BREAK UP SOLID FAT SURFACES AND PROMOTE THE

TRANSFER OF THE WASTE TOWARDS THE BELT.

A HEATER PLATE ENSURES THAT COLLECTED FATS AND GREASE DOES NOT SOLIDIFY IN THE

COLLECTION CHAMBER AND IS FREE TO RUN INTO A STORAGE VESSEL.

Safety information

Please read this entire manual before unpacking, setting up or operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger, warning and caution statements. Failure to do so could result in serious injury to the operator or damage to the equipment. Make sure that the protection provided by this equipment is not impaired, do not use or install this equipment in any manner other than that specified in this manual.

DANGER

Smart Storm products are designed for outdoor use are provided with a high level of ingress protection against liquids and dust (see specification for rating). If these products are connected to a mains electricity socket by means of a cable and plug rather than by fixed wiring, the level of ingress protection of the plug and socket connection against liquids and dust is considerably lower. It is the responsibility of the operator to protect the plug and socket connection in such a manner that the connection has an adequate level of ingress protection against liquids and dust and complies with the local safety regulations. When the instrument is used outdoors, it should be connected only to a suitable socket with at least IP44 rating (protection against water sprayed from all directions).

1. SAFETY

1.1 At installation apply the finger trap caution stickers in visible areas. Ensure all electrical installation is carried out by a qualified electrician. The Greasebuster belt has been factory set and should not need adjusting until obvious wear occurs.

2. BELT TENSIONING

2.1 Ensure that the belt is centrally located on the upper and lower rollers. 2.2 If the belt needs to be moved release the nuts (A) on the upper roller bearing bolts.

2.3 Release the belt tension using the adjusters (B) so that the belt can be moved to the centre of the rollers, then apply minimal tension to the belt equally at each side by tightening the adjusters (B).

2.4 Start the machine and ensure that the belt is staying centrally on the rollers. 2.5 If it does not, tighten the belt tension at the side the belt is moving towards, adjusting the tension in 1/4 turn increments until the belt remains centrally on the rollers.

2.6 Tighten the nuts (A) and leave the belt running for 30 minutes and ensure that the belt remains centrally located on the rollers, if it does not release the nuts (A) and repeat operations 5 & 6.

A

3. BELT ANGLE 3.1 To adjust the belt angle turn the adjusting nuts (A) in 1/2 turn increments at each side until the required angle is achieved.

4. PADDLE WHEEL ANGLE

The angle of the belt should be adjusted so approximately 2/3rds of the bottom roller (A) is submerged as shown above. Adjust the roller angle to maximise the fats onto the belt.

5. CHANGING THE BELT

5.1 Isolate the machine from the power supply.

5.2 Remove the machine from the tank and place it on a flat surface where it is safe to work.

5.3 To change the belt (25) it will be necessary to remove the side plate (19) from the machine.

5.4 Release the belt tension by slackening the upper bearing (4) retaining screws and tensioning screws (24).

5.5 Remove the upper and lower bearings (4) and disconnect the brackets (21 & 16) from the side plate (19).

5.6 Remove the 4 screws retaining the side plate (19) to the tie bars and remove the side plate.

5.7 Disconnect the paddle (1) drive chain and raise the paddle assembly by lifting the arms (9) clear of the lower roller.

5.8 It should now be possible to remove the belt (25) by sliding it sideways and off the upper and lower rollers (11 & 12).

5.9 Position the new belt in place and re-assemble by reversing the above procedure, to tension the belt correctly please refer to the belt tension section. 5.10 Belt life will depend on a number of factors including liquid temperature, abrasive nature of product skimmed, run time etc. In general, a belt change is recommended every 6 months. Only Smart Storms belts must be used as they are specifically designed for for maximum efficiency.

6. SUPPORT STANDS 6.1 The machine can be positioned and fixed either by its base or to the side of the tank, whichever is

appropriate for the installation.

6.2 The below picture illustrates the base mount configuration, due to the weight of the machine the base (4) must be fixed securely to a frame or to the floor to prevent the machine tipping over.

6.3 The height can be adjusted by securing the frame (4) to the machine using the appropriate holes in the vertical members, two bolts each side must be used.

6.4 If the frame (4) provided does not raise the machine high enough for the installation then a locally fabricated sub-frame can be used. Alternatively, please contact your supplier as larger frame sizes are available.

6.5 The below picture illustrates the tank mount configuration, the frame (3) slots on to the lip of the tank and the machine is fastened tom this frame.

6.6 The height can be adjusted by securing the frame (3) to the machine using the appropriate holes in the vertical members, two bolts each side must be used.

7.0 SCRAPPER BLADE ADJUSTMENT 7.1 The scraper blade (7) is mounted to the support bar (15), and the support bar is bolted to the slotted bracket (16). 7.2 To set the scraper blade release the two screws at the slot of bracket (16) at both sides of the scraper blade support. Raise the scraper blade to contact the belt, then lock the screws. 7.3 The scraper blade should rest evenly against the belt with minimal contact, if the scraper blade presses too hard on to the belt then this can cause belt tracking problems.

8.0 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Important: Before wiring up the control panel check all wiring is secure in existing terminals as shipping might have caused terminals to loosen. Installation should only be carried out by a qualified engineer. The Geasebuster has been preprogramed for optimum speed and heater temperature. However, industrials waste varies in density, solid content and temperature. The user may wish to change the setting to obtain best performance.

8.2 Speed Control The Greasebuster speed has been pre-set to F22. This should suit most oils and fats. The belt should run at an optimum speed to extract fats, oils and grease from the waste stream. It should be slow enough to allow water to run back off the belt. With solid waste with bound in fats and grease some water will inevitably be extracted as it is bound up in the solid mass. To “RUN” the inverter simply press the RUN button. WARNING When changing the program, you are entering a live electrical panel. Caution must be exercised to avoid electric shock.

9.0 Temperature Control CAUTION The collection box can get extremely hot and if the temperature is set too high could cause burns.

The Greasebuster is fitted with a 200W, 230VAC plate heater attached to the underside of the collection chamber. To connect you must attach the thermistor lead and the power supply lead into the connection block located in the junction box under the collection chamber.

The thermistor is factory set to 18 degrees centigrade. To change the temperature: press the “SET” key Use the ↑ up ↓ down keys to change to the desired temperature shown in the bottom display window. Press set again The upper window displays the real time temperature and the lower window the set point. The controller has a duty cycle and will switch on and off until the correct temperature is reached.
