2. Specifications
2.1. Capacities and usage
The “Vernacare Compact” macerator will dispose of a single “Vernacare” disposable
product such as a bedpan liner, bottle etc. together with its contents in a single cycle.
Do not stack products inside each other or attempt to dispose of more than one item in
a single cycle as this will impair the effective operation of the machine and in severe
cases, may cause the motor to stall. It is considered good practice to operate the
machine each time a product is placed into the machine.
Do not place string, wipes, plastic or metal items inside the machine as these may
damage components.
Note: Vernacare “Senset” wipes can be disposed of in the Compact macerator.
2.2. Handling
The weight of the “Vernacare Compact” complete with pallet and packaging is 58 kg
(machine only 50 kg). The “Vernacare Compact” should be moved to the point of
installation by fork, pallet or sack truck whilst still attached to the pallet provided.
2.3. Electrical specification
The machine is supplied with a 3-meter length of 1.5mm flex, which shall be connected
to either:
230 Volt Machine – 10 Amp MCB to BS EN60898 Type C or alternatively fused 10 Amp
to BS EN60269-1. An appropriate I.E.C Approved 10 Amp isolator shall be installed in
both cases.
110 Volt Machine – 16 Amp MCB to BS EN60898 Type C or alternatively fused 16 Amp
to BS EN60269-1. An appropriate I.E.C Approved 16 Amp isolator shall be installed in
both cases.
It is recommended that the disposal unit is supplied by a dedicated circuit.
Where supplementary protection is provided by an RCD/RCBO, this should be rated at
30mA.
Note: The machine
should not
be switched off at the mains supply in mid-cycle
except in case of emergency, as this will impair the effective operation of the
machine and may cause damage to the components
