The Document Destruction System is comprised of two basic units; (1) a mechanical cutting machine and (2) a waste evacuation/air system. The security disintegrator machine destroys paper, micro-graphics and other materials by a dry slicing and cutting process that leaves the end result in the shape of miniature confetti particles. The waste evacuation system pulls the confetti waste particles through a security screen, located in the base of the machine. The confetti particles travel in an air stream inside a rigid ductwork. The waste particles are deposited into a waste bag container supplied by the customer. The air system is supplied with a dust filter, which returns clean filtered air back into the room. The optional air lock valve permits "zero-pressure" discharge at the waste container, allowing waste particles to fall by gravity. A variety of screen sizes are available. The rates of document destruction and the size of waste particles are dependant upon the screen(s) size selected to meet your security requirements. Proper material feeding, together with preventative maintenance (such as maintaining sharp cutting knives with correct gap settings, proper drive belt tension and clean air system filters) will provide years of trouble free operation. SEM Company supplies all the necessary electrical motor starters, in NEMA 1 enclosures for wall mounting. The customer must provide the proper size circuit breakers or fused disconnect switches and electrical wiring to suit N.E.C., state and local electrical codes. DISINTEGRATOR LOCATION & INSTALLATION Select a level area, as the Series 1400 Disintegrator is assembled on a flat, 1" thick base plate, (See dimensions on Page 29). Position the machine with adequate clearance for operation and maintenance. If a specific installation print is not available, refer to the typical installation floor plans on Pages 28& 29. A duct connection is supplied at the machine base for right hand evacuation.

WASTE REMOVAL SYSTEM and LOCATION

For NATIONWIDE SERVICE Call 1(800)225-9293

3

The standard waste/air removal system consists of a Fan Cyclone and Dust Filter/Exhaust unit.The Fan Cyclone requires mounting over a waste container, as shown on the assembly prints. (Seepages 23, 24, 30 & 32)

This type of system discharges the confetti waste under pressure and therefore, requires a sealedwaste container. Back pressured air is exhausted through the bag house type dust filter, which isnormally located in the Disintegrator room.

NOTE:

An "optional" rotary air-lock valve is available for mounting under the fan cyclone unit. Thisprovides "zero pressure" discharge of waste particles at the container, (See page 4 fordescriptive data).

The outlet of the Fan Cyclone cone MUST be centrally positioned above the waste container. For size and weight of cyclone, refer to the detailed print on Page 30.

DUST FILTER ASSEMBLY LOCATION

Location of the filter is normally in the Disintegrator room. Rigid duct must be run between thefilter inlet and top of the Fan Cyclone Unit. Proper size inlet is provided for filter ductconnection. If used out-of-doors, weather-proof enclosures and a weather cap must be ordered.

NOTE:

Filter assembly MUST be shaken daily, (See page 32). A manual rope shaker is provided. An optional electric motor shaker is available.

CAUTION: DO NOT SHAKE FILTER WHEN AIR SYSTEM IS TURNED ON!

Page 5: Model 1400 Series Rev. 2

THE WASTE CONTAINER (See Floor Plan on Pages 23, 28 & 29)

For NATIONWIDE SERVICE Call 1(800)225-9293 4

It is important that the user provide a waste container of sufficient size to accept the disintegrated end product. A 55 gallon drum is not adequate. Past experience has shown that a large dumpster must be used with the system for proper efficiency of the document destruction operation. The volume of waste particles is considerably greater than the original volume of materials to be destroyed. Screens that are 3/32" produce a particle volume five times larger than the original materials. Screens 3/8" produce aparticle volume eight times larger than the original materials.

SEM recommends that the waste containers be sized in accordance withanticipated usage requirements (never less than 6 cubic yards for a Model 1424 and 10 cubic yards for a Model 1454). With high volume requirements, consideration should be given to the use of compactors or balers to reduce "haul away" costs. The waste container used must be of the proper type, to suit either a pressurized waste discharge (sealed type) or a standard type for use with the free-fall/gravity from a rotary air lock valve.

ROTARY AIR LOCK VALVE

This 3 phase motor driven valve is provided as an option for easier handling of waste collection. It is mounted under the Fan Cyclone unit. This provides "zero-pressure" discharge of waste particles at the container. The air lock meters out the wastes andpermits it to fall freely via gravity, therefore, eliminating a sealed container. SEMprovides the necessary cone adapter, hardware, flex-hose, and a magnetic starter with the unit. (See assembly print on page 30)

CAUTION: Check gearbox to assure that it has been shipped with oil. If not, fill gearbox half-full with Mobil Synthetic Lubricant No. SHC63A or equivalent.

IMPORTANT: Replace the pipe plug with plastic breather plug before operating.

Page 6: Model 1400 Series Rev. 2

RECOMMENDED DUCTWORK

For NATIONWIDE SERVICE Call 1(800)225-9293

5

Inter connecting ductwork between the Disintegrator and Air System units should be of roundrigid material. Galvanized #24 (.024) gauge sheet metal is generally used. #20 (.036) gauge isused on elbows. A flex hose section is supplied to connect the rigid ductwork to theDisintegrator to allow lowering of the screen cradle.

The duct that runs from the Disintegrator to the Fan Cyclone should have smooth, long sweeptype elbows with a center line radius of approximately 2 to 2-1/2 times the duct diameter. Cleanoutsshould be provided, one for each 20 to 30 feet of duct length, in the run between the fan and thedisintegrator. The back pressure return line to the dust filter should be of a large diameter ductand elbows may be of the standard adjustable type. Consult SEM's Engineering Dept. for properduct size recommendations. (Ductwork to be supplied by outside contractors/installers, etc.)

CAUTION: Your Disintegrator Air System has been selected to suit a specific maximum ductrun. Contact SEM's Engineering Dept. should installation site plans change or seem differentthan initially planned.

Ref: A 7-1/2 HP Fan Cyclone with 9" diameter duct is good for a 125 linear duct run. An equivalent of 12 linear feet for each elbow is included in the calculation.

Ref: A 3 HP Fan Cyclone with 7" diameter duct is good for a 60 foot linear duct run. An equivalent of 7 linear feet for each elbow is included in the calculation.

CAUTION! – SHUT OFF ALL MAIN INCOMING POWER!

A. Connect each motor starter per wiring diagram on inside of starter control box cover or refer to Wiring Diagram No. M-1490-D3 on page 25.

B. All motor starters are provided for wall mounting. Safety limit switches on Disintegratorare pre-wired to a junction box. All motors require 3-phase service. Magnetic starterfor Disintegrator has a low voltage, 120 Volt control circuit.

C. After wiring, check rotation to conform with direction of arrow on belt guard. Ifwrong, switch any two leads in control box of Disintegrator. Be sure all power isdisconnected before removing control box cover. Repeat the same for all air systemmotors. Correct rotation is necessary!

IMPORTANT: 230/460V Ultimate E motors have a higher safety factor and can operate on 208V as well, if noted on motor name plate.

NOTE:

The starter for the optional rotary air lock valve is supplied with an auxiliary contact. Proper wiringassures that the air lock is running prior to the Fan Cyclone unit.

THE SECURITY SCREEN (Page 22, Item 7)

The function of the security screen is to prevent pieces larger than the hole size of the screen fromleaving the cutting chamber. Large holed screens offer more destruction capacity per hour.

The security screen is placed in the screen chamber and clamped in position. The screen chamber caneasily be opened for changing screens, visual inspection and in some instances, clearing a jam. (Model1424 has one screen, Model 1436 has two, and the Model 1454 has three screens.)

LOWERING THE SCREEN CRADLE

For NATIONWIDE SERVICE Call 1(800)225-9293

7

Shut off all power before proceeding.

1. As a standard safety procedure, a safety limit switch is de-energized when the SCREEN CRADLE is being lowered (Page 22, Item 5). The SCREEN CRADLE on the Model 1436 is raised or lowered manually via a handle located on the screen cradle. The screen cradle on Models 1424 and 1454 are raised or lowered by turning a WINCH (Page 22, Item 12). Make sure the LOCKING LEVER for the winch assembly is pushed in to the lock position.

2. Remove the SCREEN CRADLE NUTS under the front of the screen cradle (2 on Model1424, 3 on Model 1436 and 4 on Model 1454) Page 22, Item 14 shown removed.

3. On Models 1424 and 1454, hold WINCH HANDLE (Page 22, Item 12), pull out the WINCH LOCKING LEVER (not shown), unwind, lowering screen cradle to open position. DO NOT DROP. Lower cradle slowly. On Model 1436, grasp the handle at the screen cradle and lower the screen cradle to the open position.

4. Before closing the cradle, clean all material from between all mating surfaces.

5. Turn the WINCH HANDLE (on Model 1424 or 1454) to raise the screen cradle to its closed position. Push in the winch locking lever.

Grasp the handle (on Model 1436) at the screen cradle and raise it to its closed position. "Gas springs", located lower rear, will help to raise the chamber. The screen cradles will remain in their closed positions. NOTE: Check for tight fit. Pull on belts to turn rotor, listening carefully for any metal obstruction. If there is an obstruction, lower screen cradle and check that screen to see if it has been inserted properly. Replace the screen cradle nuts. Tighten Securely!! Pull on belts for final check to assure knives rotate without any interference.

Before Operation, Check the Following:

1. The proper size Security Screen(s) is in place.

2. The Waste Container is not full and is in its proper position.

3. The Dust Filter Bag is shaken (with the fan motor off).

To Operate

1. Start Air Lock and Fan System Motor(s).

2. Start the Disintegrator.

3. Feed recommended thickness and volumes per destruction rate chart (Page 11)

4. Never feed wet or greasy materials or hard metals.

5. Periodically check waste level and rake materials into lower area of the container to prevent blockage.

6. Run system 2 minutes after last feed lot.

Periodically Check:

1. Knives (sharpen or replace knives as required).

2. Belt Tension (lower belt span should have /2" vertical play).

3. Filter Bin and Tubes to prevent clogging.

4. Ductwork for air tight connections.

5. Rotor Bearings and Motor Bearings for lubrication.

6. Rotary Air Lock Valve (if used). Gear box to be ½ full with gear oil and Chain and Bearings lubricated.

Page 10: Model 1400 Series Rev. 2

OPERATION

A. Start Fan Cyclone before Disintegrator. If optional Air Lock Valve is used, it must be started first.

B. Start Disintegrator.

C. Your Disintegrator is ruggedly built and has a high capacity cutting chamber. Overloading can cause a jam up. To better understand how destruction is accomplished, and to get a better “feel” for your feeding rates, drop several sheets of paper into the hopper front entry. Gradually increase the load, pausing between each feeding to allow the Disintegrator to have time to properly cut the material and evacuate it. You will acquire a feel of feeding rates judged by the sound of the cutting. For practical feeding of materials, see Feed Rate Chart See page 11). Except for odd shapes, most feeding should be done through the front. Long rolled drawings or conveyor fed materials are generally loaded through the top entry.

D. When feeding bound materials, allow the Disintegrator to cut somewhat before introducing more material. Overfeeding to cut somewhat before introducing more material. Overfeeding can cause excessive material to overload or jam the rotor. Loose and crumpled material may be fed at a faster rate.

Caution: DO NOT FEED HARD METAL MATERIAL INTO HOPPER AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE KNIVES!

TROUBLESHOOTING

For NATIONWIDE SERVICE Call 1(800)225-9293

12

SHUT OFF ALL POWER BEFORE MAINTENANCE!

OVERLOADING THE DISINTEGRATOR

Overloading the Disintegrator is usually caused by excessive feeding which jams the knives or by stopping the Disintegrator before the material in the cutting chamber is reduced in size or evacuated.Should the waste container overfill, material can back up from the air system via the duct work to theDisintegrator.

Eliminating the Overload:

1. Push stop button immediately (See floor plan on page 28 & 29)

2. Turn main power disconnect switch to "OFF" position. (Supplied by customer)

3. Lower the screen cradle. (See page 22, Item 5) This allows operator to clear any obstructing materials that caused the overload. If knives are jammed, pry with wooden implement (2x4).

Other Checkpoints:

If overloading or waste container is full are not, the reasons for a jam, check:

1. Defective or loose connection in wiring, re-check wiring (Diagram on page 25)

2. Belts require tightening

3. Knives are dull. Need to be re-sharpened.

4. If re-sharpened knives were just replaced, are the Bed Knives positioned correctly? (See pages 15-18)

5. Dust Filter Assembly clogged? (See page 32)

NOTE:

When last document is fed into Disintegrator, allow the Disintegrator and fan to run for about three to four minutes. This will allow the cutting chamber to clear all the material through the screen and out of the ductwork system.

BELT ADJUSTMENTS

The motor is mounted on an adjustable slide assembly. By turning the adjusting bolt below themotor, belts can be tightened or loosened for removal. Proper belt tension is determined byextending thumb pressure on belt, causing a slight bow on slack side. This should not be more than1/2".

BELT REMOVAL

Remove the belt guard cover (page 22, item 11) and adjust motor to slack position.Replace belts and re-tighten if required after first two days of operation. After that, checkmonthly.

LUBRICATION

Grease fittings are located on the grease manifolds on the front of the two (2) bearing housings(Page 22, item 16). Grease twice yearly. (See Lubrication Schedule, page 14). Drain lines havebeen provided on the bottom of the bearings to drain off excess grease back to the manifolds.

Step 1: Remove LIMIT SWITCH ACTUATOR PLATE on right side of front door (Page 22, Item 15). Step 2: Remove CENTER CLAMP PLATE on right side of front door (Not Shown). Step 3: Remove all socket head cap screws on front doors and door clamps. Step 4: Right front door opens first, then left front door. Pull doors out, allowing

them to slide, pivot down and hang in open position (Shown on page 20). Step 5: Remove all hex head cap screws on rear exterior cover and lift cover away using handles provided. Step 6: Remove all hex head cap screws on inner panel and lift panel out using handles provided.

Inspection of Knives:

For full efficiency, knives should be sharpened from two to six times a year depending on use. Forinstance, your knives may require sharpening after three months of initial operation. Your sharpeningschedule should then be every three months. It is recommended that a spare set of knives be availablefor your Disintegrator to eliminate down time.

Removing Knives:

Step 1: Remove all ROTOR KNIVES (page 22, item 9) through the front opening in cutting chamber. Step 2: Re move front and back BED KNIFE CLAMP BARS (Page 22, Item 13). Step 3: Remove front and back bed knives through the respective cutting chamber openings, noting that the front bed knife tip points up, rear bed knife tip points down. (See page 18, Figure #1) Step 4: Back off all BED KNIFE ADJUSTING SCREWS (See page 22, Item 12), and CLAMP BAR ADJUSTING SCREWS (See page 22, Item 8).

Replacing Knives:

Step 1: Replace back bed knife, cutting tip pointing down, and front bed knife, cutting tip pointing up.

Step 2: Place respective bed knife clamp bars on bed knives. Step 3: Install all bed knife bolts and tighten only enough to keep bed knife and clamp bar

snug. Step 4: Install each rotor knife in rotor seat with hex head rotor bolts. Be sure that the back edge

of knife is parallel in rotor seat, then fully tighten to 190/200 foot-pounds of torque for %"knives (for old style 1424 disintegrator only) or 380/390 foot-pounds for 1" thickknives.

Step 5: Adjust each bed knife forward with adjusting screws (page 22, item 8) until a .005-inch clearance is maintained between each rotor knife and the respective bed knife. To check the clearance, set a .005 inch feeler gauge in gap area and manually turn rotor in reverse direction from normal power rotation. This is to insure (a) that if the bed knife is in too far, no damage will occur to the knife edges and (b) you will not cut off the feeler gauge. When set correctly, end to end, a bumping noise will occur as rotor knife passes the feeler gauge against bed knife.

Step 6: With BED KNIFE CLAMP BAR ADJUSTING SCREWS loosened, move clamp bars in to 1/8" before bed knife cutting edge. (Page 22, Item 8 & Page 18, Figure #1)

Step 7: Tighten bed knife bolts to 170/180 foot-pounds of torque. Step 8: Without moving the setting of the BED KNIFE ADJUSTING SCREWS (Page 22,

Item 8), tighten lock nuts to frame.

NOTE: The torques mentioned, are standard screw manufacturing specifications for screw diameter and threads per inch. Rotor knife screws SAE Grade #8, hex head, bed knife screws are 1960 series socket head.

Page 19: Model 1400 Series Rev. 2

KNIFE SHARPENING RECOMMENDATIONS

KNIFE SHARPENING

After several weeks of document destruction, the abrasive wear on the knives during cutting, dull the sharp edges and therefore, increase the 'gap' between knives. Since applications vary, periodic inspection will determine what time schedule will suit re-sharpening of the knives. In general, most users change knives 3 to 4 times per year. Very dull knives are evident when paper dust emits from the feed hopper door and/or when the Disintegrator rotor easily jams on light material feeding.

(See page 21, Figure #2)

Knives may be sent to Security Engineered Machinery for sharpening or they may be sharpened by a capable machine shop in you area. (See list of Service Companies inserted in rear of manual). When sharpening, the rotor knives must be sharpened as a set to maintain proper tolerances between the bed knives.

KNIFE GRINDING (SHARPENING) SPECIFICATIONS When the Disintegrator knife edges become dull, the cutting decreases. The knives may be sent to Security Engineered Machinery or they may be sharpened by a capable machine shop in your area. When sharpening the rotor knives it’s important that they are sharpened as a set to maintain proper tolerances for effective knife settings. If knives are badly nicked the machine shop should not try to eliminate the entire nick, as to conserve the edge and prolong knife life. The knives will function very well with nicks after sharpening as long as 75% of the cutting edge is effective, reference below for the following rotor and bed knife profiles. Note: Only grind surfaces marked “A”
