2. Company Prole
Disperator’s business idea is to provide innovave and adapve equipment for kitchens on land as well
as galleys at sea, and for the food processing industry, which enables ecient collecon of communited
food leovers for anaerobic digeson or composng in subsequent stages, which is of benet to society.
With over 70 years of experience in the development and producon of such equipment, our devoon
to this has resulted in the unique operaonal reliability required for the extreme condions prevailing in
the marine industry. Furthermore, our innovaveness has provided commercial kitchens on land with an
alternave approach to handle food waste separaon at source, complying with modern demands and
being economically aordable.
Our product assortment is unique! Disperator can as the only manufacturer of such equipment oer
all types of installaon possibilies needed in a kitchen. Our basic range of ve dierent series of
water-based food waste disposers, consisng of three to six dierent sizes in each serie, which may be
combined with as many as 13 dierent mounng assemblies. Furthermore, the advantage of the basic
model’s design is that the waste disposers may easily be integrated into other kitchen manufacturer’s
mounng assembly or furniture. Thereby, each workplace in a kithen or galley can be designed to its
specic requirements regarding funcon, ergonomics and economy. To all this there is also the dierent
series of water-saving processor technology for collecon and storage of grinded food waste in a tank, as
well as disposers that grinds food waste without any ushing water at all.

3. Product Description and Technical Specication
3.1. Food Waste Disposer 500A-BS-K EXCELLENT-Series for installation in sink and
dishwashing line
The immediate and ecient removal of the heaviest part of kitchen waste - the food scraps - is a
necessity in any commercial kitchen. When using a Disperator waste grinder, the food waste can easily
collect and reduce the total amount of waste hygienically and without heavy liing or manual transfer
to a waste storage - in volume, but especially in the handling of the total weight in dierent transport
phases!
Disperator food waste disposers are used in kitchens and marine galleys around the world, providing an
ecient and immediate removal of food waste whenever the need arises and thereby improving hygiene
in the working environment, eliminang bad odors and bacteria formaon and minimizing manual
handling.
Regardless of the selected disposer model, the disposal procedure is the same. Food waste is fed down
into the machine and with water ground into small parcles for further transport in the sewer to a sealed
and odorless special tank where the slurry and grease are separated from much of the liquid which
ows out into the municipal sewer. Alternavely, all the sludge with liquid runs o in the municipal sewer
to a water treatment plant. The tank is emped by a vacuum truck approximately every four weeks or
according to the driving schedule that applies in your municipality. Depending upon preference, the tank
may be placed outdoors buried in the ground, as well as placed indoors. In water treatment plants as well
as in anaerobic digeson facilies the slurry is converted into a valuable renewable energy resource (i.e.
biogas), and oen the digested residue which is le aer biogas producon can also be used as ferlizer
on farmland. Biogas is today one of our society’s most environmentally clean and desired energy forms,
as fuel for vehicles as well as to produce heat and electricity.
Disperator’s broad assortment of dierent technical soluons for source separaon of food waste can be
adapted to your specic kitchen and your specic working environment, regardless of size or layout, and
regardless of the specic municipal’s food waste handling rules in your community!

Our product range is designed with the user’s needs in focus and meets today’s requirements for
handling of food waste. The high-quality grinding unit of specially alloyed steel together with the unique
and well-proven sealing design between the grinding unit and motor provides the user with many years
of operaonal reliability and low maintenance cost. The disposer’s life span is extended further by the
outer housing of stainless steel EN 1.4301 (AISI 304) and protecon class IP55 for electrical components
as standard.
The wide range of disposer sizes, and where each size ts all models of assemblies, makes it easy to
customize each installaon of disposer to t all workplaces in kitchens onshore as well as at sea. The
Excellent 500-Series disposers may be installed under sinks and washing lines, into tabletops and working
benches or as freestanding separate units. Installaon into an exisng kitchen furniture manufactured by
another supplier is also possible. For CE-marking an approved assembly with protecon above disposer
inlet is needed from Disperator or other manufacturer.
Standard delivery includes a complete start/stop unit with contactor and motor overload protector, and
a complete solenoid valve with line strainer, which for some of the assembly models need to be installed
and connected on site in the kitchen. Cold water will automacally ow when the disposer starts, ushing
the food waste into the grinding chamber, and then into the sewer system or a storage tank.
Food waste disposers within the Disperator Excellent-Series have the Declaraon of Compliance issued by
DNV, verifying compliance with applicable secons of IMO MARPOL consolidated edion 2017 ANNEX V
for disposal of ground food waste into the open sea

6. Installation Description for the Machine
6.1. Assembly of the Machine
6.1.1. Mounting the Disposer With a BS Mounting
In order to weld a strong joint and to be able to grind to an even and ne surface between the
AT-nipple and the sink/ dishwashing line, the AT-nipple is welded with its upper horizontal ange
against the sink’s underside of the drain opening. The drain opening must be 80 mm (3,149
in.) in diameter. Screw on the BS ange on the socket G3 “to make it easier to weld the nozzle
horizontally to the outlet opening of the sink / dishwashing line, remove the BS ange aer
welding. Seal o the thread and screw on the BS ange on the AT socket. BS ange. Mount the
disposer onto the BS-ange.
In cases where a 3” ball valve has been ordered as an accessory between the sink and the
disposer, this is specied in the delivery note. To connect the lower outlet of the ball valve to the
BS-ange and the disposer, an extra nipple G3”is included, external thread.
6.1.2. Mounting and Support against Floor/Floor plate
Mounng of models 510 and 515, delivered without legs as standard
The weight of disposer models 510 and 515 allows them, in most cases, to be hung vercally
under the mounng assembly (e.g. under a sink). The standard delivery of these models
therefore does not include legs. However, if they are to be placed standing on the oor/oor
plate (e.g. beside a peeling machine/dishwasher) these models must be ed with legs. If legs
have been ordered it is specied on the delivery note.
To minimize the risk of injuries, two persons shall always be present when the disposer is
installed. Below describe three dierent approaches, depending on the availability of tools at the
installaon site.
Place the disposer ghtly against the ange of the mounng assembly, by using one of below
menoned hoist methods. Make sure that the disposer top rubber seal is correctly posioned.
Tighten the six screws with nuts evenly. The rubber seal should be compressed approximately 1
mm.

Hoist alternave 2
Use a rm and well-balanced jack with a support disk to hoist the disposer into posion under
the mounng ange.
Hoist alternave 3
If no hoisng tools are available, place the disposer on a solid object of the proper height (for
example a wooden crate), and push it in under the mounng ange. To get the proper height of
this object measure the space between the oor and the mounng ange and then subtract the
height of the disposer and the rubber seal (which is 3 mm thick).
Mounng of models 520, 530, 550 and 575, delivered with legs as standard
The weights of models 520, 530, 550 and 575 require legs for support. At installaon site the
separately delivered 3 legs must be xed to the 3 clamps in the disposer boom plate.
Proceed as follows when mounng the legs:
• Measure the height (X mm) between the ange of the mounng assembly and the oor/oor
plate.
• Measure the height (Y mm) of the disposer without legs including the 3 mm rubber seal.
• Lay down the disposer carefully on its side. Slide the three legs into respecve clamp. Each leg
should protrude X – Y - 4 mm.
• Tighten the clamps. Make sure that the legs are xated, and that their posion have not
changed during the ghtening of the screw.
• Place the disposer so that it stands on its legs. Move the disposer carefully into posion under
the ange of the mounng assembly.
• Using the six screws with nuts xate the disposer onto the ange with the 3 mm rubber seal
in between. Tighten the screws alternately and evenly unl the rubber seal is compressed
approximately 1 mm.
• Use a jack or a lever to push up the disposer towards the ange of the mounng assembly.
• While this upward pressure is maintained, unghten each leg and pull it downwards. Make
sure that all legs are rmly pressed against the oor. Tighten the clamps using a torque of 17
Nm. As this is a crical maer, a torque wrench should be used. If no torque wrench is available
use a leaver of approximately 30 cm and a force of 6 kg.

6.1.3. Fixation of the Machine
If the disposer can turn in the assembly, or if it is placed freely, for example next to a peeling
machine, then the machine must be xed with a torque protecon bar against the wall /
bulkhead according to the gure below. When starng or stopping quickly when stuck (for
example if cutlery accidentally ends up in the disposer), the motor torque can otherwise turn the
disposer so that the drain pipe / water trap is turned out of posion and there is a risk of leakage.
If the torque protecon bar is not suitable due to too great a distance to the wall / bulkhead, the
feet can be welded directly to the oor. If the torque protecon bar cannot be arranged at the
installaon site, it is available as an opon at Disperator, see secon 9.2 (P32). Torque protecon
for oor mounng is also available as an opon from Disperator, which facilitates work during
service as the weld around the legs does not need to be cut loose.
