POWERFUL AND DEPENDABLE
Peak periods for the large food service establishment can be very demanding on any foodwaste
disposer. This powerful disposer has a large
capacity for foodwaste. Hobart has engineered the
5 horsepower unit to perform dependably during
peak demands for economical foodwaste disposal.
SPECIFICATIONS
Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and meets requirements of
A.S.S.E. Standard No. 1009. (50 Hz. Electrical Specifications not available
with thermal overload protection nor submitted for UL listing.)
MOTORS: Continuous duty rating. Permanently
lubricated bearings (matched set double row
tapered roller bearings for upper shaft thrust
support, ball bearings for lower shaft support).
Inherent overload protection in motor.
HOUSINGS: Heavy aluminum grind and discharge
housings. Eight bolts fasten the motor unit to the
grind chamber, permit easy removal.
FOODWASTE DISPOSERS
MOTOR SHAFT SEAL: Face-type seal consists of
sintered bronze mating ring and spring loaded
carbon ring insert in chemical resistant neoprene
bellows. Mating surfaces are protected from grit of
fibers by being recessed into flywheel. Should any
moisture pass this seal, a flinger and drain tube are
provided to insure immediate removal. In addition,
a lip-type oil seal (located beneath the bearings) is
an “added protection” water seal.
DRAIN CONNECTOR: The removable outlet flange
is tapped for 3" pipe connection.
DUAL DIRECTION GRINDING: Disposer flywheel
operates in either direction. When installed with
Control Groups 2 & 3, flywheel automatically starts
in opposite direction each start. (Increases life and
efficiency of grinding elements and frees flywheel of
jams.)
MOUNTING: Disposer fastens to 7" I.D. throat
opening cones. A vinyl isolating ring eliminates
metal-to-metal contact at the cone mounting,
reduces vibration and noise transmission.
STATIONARY SHREDDER RING: Ni-Hard, 2
high, 4 machine ground primary action breaker
bars, 42 secondary action grinding teeth.
FLYWHEEL: Breaker blade, mounted at center,
speeds grinding, prevents objects from “riding” at
center. Two hardened stainless steel cutter blocks
(fastened to flywheel with Nyloc screws) are
replaceable, can be indexed for new cutting edges.
Ni-Resist flywheel is 9" diameter, slots undercut the
hredder ring to assure that particles are cut to
proper size before passing to the drain line.
