FLIP TYPE DRY TRASH REMOVAL
This unit is designed to receive baskets from an Automatic Basket Separating and Reorienting System. The basket

flipped 180º for trash removal. The trash is transferred down a slide to a customer supplied collection cart.
Then the basket is flipped again 180º to the right side up position for transfer to the washer and/or basket system.
Unit is equipped with a diamond type feed conveyor with durable dual strand steel table-top conveyor
at the turns, dual strand plastic table-top through the dump zone, and diamond type separator discharge conveyor.
Unit is equipped with A.C. variable speed drives and is equipped with a clutch-brake basket infeed indexer. Electrical
controls are mounted in the system control panel.

“S” STYLE DRY TRASH DUMP REMOVAL SYSTEM
The unit is manufactured from stainless steel, and designed to invert the baskets 180-degree allowing the
dry trash to fall into the stainless steel dump chute. The baskets are then re-inverted into their original
position. This is all done in a vertical “S” configuration for reduced floor space requirements.
The dry trash system is completed with photoeyes which control the baskets throughout the system and
is pre-wired with a Nema 4X electrical control panel.
Features
HORIZONTAL DRY TRASH
REMOVAL SYSTEM
This unit is designed to raise the plastic cases
into an upright position, where a fan will blow the
dry trash from the cases into a stainless steel
mobile catch basket. The cases are then lowered
back into their original position.
The unit is comprised of a stainless steel frame
assembly containing a “rough top” belt, which
transports the cases through the system,
maintaining separation whilst they are raised and
lowered by specially designed stainless steel
guide rails.
The drive shaft is equipped with a torque limiter
that will disengage in the event of a belt jam.
The system is supplied with a Nema 4X electrical
enclosure containing motor (2) motor starters, and
electrical
push-buttons.
The system includes variable speed drive,
sprockets, guards, etc. and is completely factory
wired and tested. The system also incorporates
an alarm package which includes infeed and
discharge photo cells. This infeed photo cell
detects more than one container entering the
system. The discharge photo cell detects a jam
due to damaged containers.
VACCUM DRY TRASH REMOVAL SYSTEM
The Vacuum Dry Trash Removal System is
completed with a stainless steel conveying
system, mechanical variable speed drive,
and a T.E.F.C. motor.
The drive shaft is equipped with a mechanical
clutch, that will disengage in the event of a jam.
When the clutch is disengaged, a limit switch is
energized, which illuminates a light on a control
panel and activates the alarm system, thus
indicating the jam condition and preventing
damage to the baskets.
The baskets are separated as they are
transported through this system. The baskets
pass through a stainless steel duct arrangement
(ducts are located on top and bottom of the
basket) where air is directed underneath the
baskets blowing the dry trash into the canister,
where the dry trash is filtered. The trash then falls
into a plastic catch bin located at the bottom of
the stainless steel canister.
The system can be either located directly in front
of the washing and drying system or supplied as a
remote independent system. When the system is
located directly in front of the washing and drying
system, the electrical controls can be mounted in
the main electrical panel. When the system is
remote, it is complete with an independent Nema
4X electrical control panel.
