(Specification)Standard Specification for Food Waste Pulper Without Waterpress Assembly
Standard Specification for Food Waste Pulper Without Waterpress Assembly
ABSTRACT
This specification covers pulper assemblies intended for grinding of food scraps and limited amounts of cardboard, paper, and disposable plastic food service wear. Pulper assemblies shall be of the following types: Type A and Type B. Lubricating points shall be readily accessible, and the pulper shall be lubricated with the proper amount of lubricant prior to delivery. All surfaces of the machine, other than corrosion-resistant materials, shall be protected against corrosion in the use environment and shall present a neat appearance. Test method shall be performed to demonstrate the ability of the unit to meet the capacity requirements and to insure that there is no leakage during operation.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers pulper assemblies intended for grinding of food scraps and limited amounts of cardboard, paper, and disposable plastic food service ware.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 13, of this specification:
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
