Installation, Operation, and Care of
WS SERIES
WASTE EQUIPMENT SYSTEMS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The WS Series Waste Equipment System is comprised of a pulper, piping, and a water press. The
pulper uses a 5 horsepower motor, stainless steel components, and carbide cutting edges to shred
grindable waste to a pumpable slurry. The slurry flows through the piping to the water press where a
stainless steel screw squeezes out the moisture, compacts the waste, and lifts the semi-dry pulp to the
discharge chute — reducing the original volume significantly. Process water is recycled to the pulper.
WS Series Waste Equipment Systems are self-contained, the pulper and water press are connected
and adjacent to each other. Both models WS800 and WS1000 are available for either left-to-right or
right-to-left operation.
Additional flexibility allows the pulper to be installed undercounter with a water-tight trough connection;
a silver-saver sink (by others) with lift-out basket can be installed with the trough.
INSTALLATION
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate located on the front of the water press.
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the unit is found to be damaged,
save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
LOCATION
Locate the water press near a floor drain; floor should be pitched a minimum of
drain. A suitable amount of space should be provided for machine operation, cleaning, and service.
LEVELING
Vibration pads (standard — Fig. 1) must be installed under each leg of the
pulper and water press before making connections. Level the units by
threading the adjustable feet up or down as necessary. After leveling,
tighten set screw in foot flanges.

FEED HOOD AND TRAY (Optional)
The feed tray extending from the pulper is available in three lengths: Short (20"), medium (36"
standard), or long (42"). The hood is positioned over the pulper. When the hood is lowered, material
can move from the feed tray to the pulper through the curtains. When the hood is raised, the interlock
shuts off the pulper motor — always wait for the cutting disk to stop rotating before reaching in. The
feed tray and hood can be installed in one of three 90° positions (Fig. 2).
TRAY FLUSH (Optional)
When equipped, the tray flush is attached to the end of the feed tray. The tray flush is plumbed to the
return water line.
DISCHARGE CHUTE
The discharge chute on the water press can be positioned in one of two alternate 90° orientations
(Fig. 2) as specified on the order. Discharge chute is not field rotatable.
