Disperator’s business idea is to provide innovave and adapve equipment for kitchens on land as well
as galleys at sea, and for the food processing industry, which enables ecient collecon of communited
food leovers for anaerobic digeson or composng in subsequent stages, which is of benet to society.
With over 70 years of experience in the development and producon of such equipment, our devoon
to this has resulted in the unique operaonal reliability required for the extreme condions prevailing in
the marine industry. Furthermore, our innovaveness has provided commercial kitchens on land with an
alternave approach to handle food waste separaon at source, complying with modern demands and
being economically aordable.
Our product assortment is unique! Disperator can as the only manufacturer of such equipment oer
all types of installaon possibilies needed in a kitchen. Our basic range of ve dierent series of
water-based food waste disposers, consisng of three to six dierent sizes in each serie, which may be
combined with as many as 13 dierent mounng assemblies. Furthermore, the advantage of the basic
model’s design is that the waste disposers may easily be integrated into other kitchen manufacturer’s
mounng assembly or furniture. Thereby, each workplace in a kithen or galley can be designed to its
specic requirements regarding funcon, ergonomics and economy. To all this there is also the dierent
series of water-saving processor technology for collecon 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 Specication
3.1. Food Waste Processor 500A-GTS-Mini EXCELLENT-Series for Free-standing
Installation
Immediately and eciently removing the heaviest part of kitchen waste – i.e. food leovers - is a
necessity in any commercial kitchen. In the event water-based food waste disposers connected to the
municipal sewer system is not permied in your community, a by Disperator developed unique and
patent pending technology can handle the task for you. When using a GTS-Series processor, food waste
can hygienically and without any heavy liing or manual transfer easily take care of and reduce the total
amount of refuse – by volume, but especially in the handling of the total weight in dierent transport
phases!
Regardless of the selected model, the disposal procedure is the same. Food waste is fed down the inlet
hopper of the machine and ground into small parcles in a disposer for further transport in a pipe using
a processor pump to a sealed and odorless tank. The tank is emped 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. One of the
unique benets of this processor technology is that the pumping of the ground food waste can be done
with minimal amount of ushing water, which gives a good operang economy as the tank does not
need to be emped as oen. The slurry is transported to an anaerobic digeson facility and converted
into valuable renewable energy resource (i.e. biogas), and oen the digested residue can also be used
as ferlizer on farmland. Biogas is one of our society’s most environmentally clean and desired energy
forms, as fuel for vehicles as well as to produce heat and electricity.
In its standard version the GTS-Mini-processor has a capacity of up to 7 l/min. With an average amount
of food waste of 0.15 l/served meal, the processor can take care of food waste generated by as many
as 2,000 served guests/hour. And this even though the storage tank, if required, can be located over 50
meters away.
To suit exisng interior and logiscs within the kitchen, the E65-processor outlet may be posioned
either to the le or to the right of infeed opening, thus giving full exibility in planning your kitchen and
possibility to fully ulize valuable space. Disperator’s broad assortment of dierent technical soluons
for source separaon of food waste can be adapted to your specic kitchen and your specic working
environment, regardless of size or layout, and regardless of the specic municipal’s food waste handling
rules in your community!
Food waste disposers within the Disperator Excellent Series have the Declaraon of Compliance issued
by DNV, verifying compliance with applicable secons of MARPOL consolidated edion 2017 ANNEX V for
disposal of ground food waste into the open sea.

6. Installation Description for the Machine
6.1.1. Deployment of the Machine
Unless otherwise requested in your order, the machine comes with its legs on a pallet. To
minimize the risk of injury, at least two persons must be present when the machine is deployed.
The machine has a net weight as per secon 3.2 above, page 15, so the liing equipment (e.g.
forkli and pallet jack) to be used must be checked to withstand this weight.
Li the machine from the pallet and then move the machine to the designated place of
installaon.
Before the machine is set down on the oor, adjust the four legs so that the desired machine
height is obtained. Aer the machine has been placed on the oor, check with a spirit level that it
is horizontal, and adjust the legs if necessary.
6.1.2. Fixation of the Machine
The machine must be xed to the wall/bulkhead or oor/oor plate. When stopping quickly
(e.g. if cutlery mistakenly jams the grinding unit) the torque of the disposer motor will cause
the machine to turn. This can give undesirable forces on the pump’s connecon to the drain
pipe that goes to the tank (see paragraph 6.3 below), which can cause leakage. To prevent this,
two adjustable brackets are included in the delivery for xing the machine against a long wall or
alternavely using 1pc against long wall and 1pc against corner wall. See secon 3.2 (page 12,
“Top view”) and secon 5.2 above.
For marine installaon the machine is instead xed by means of e.g. plates which are welded to
the oor plate, whereupon the machine legs are placed and screwed onto these plates as shown
below.
6.1.3. Mounting of the Splash Guard
If splash guards are ordered, this must be mounted against the outer edge of the top plate on the
cabinet. See secon 3.2 page 15, and secon 5.2 above. Seal the gap between the top plate and
the splash guard with rubber sealant (silicone).

6.2. Flushing Water
For the machines ordered for connecon to ushing water according to the requirements of standard
EN 1717 (in the UK also WRAS), or to be installed in countries where this standard must be complied
with, the machine’s dra ushing water is delivered according to these requirements to prevent
contaminaon by sucon in drinking water pipes.
This standard EN 1717 denes ve liquid categories that are or could come into contact with drinking
water. Category 5 is the category with the highest protecve requirements and which applies in all
kitchens where food is handled, regardless of whether food waste management equipment is there
or not. If stated when ordering, all Disperator’s machine models can be delivered in accordance with
the requirements for category 5, ie. the category with the highest protecon against contaminaon
of drinking water pipes.
Connecon of ushing water to the delivered machine may only be carried out by a qualied VA
installer and in accordance with current local VA regulaons. DISPERATOR takes no responsibility for,
according to standard EN 1717, a machine that is incorrectly connected to the drinking water line.
The machine’s automac rinsing water control is to be connected to cold rinsing water (hot water is
not needed).
6.2.1. Water Pipe DN15
To provide the correct amount of ushing water to the machine, the incoming water pipe (incl.
accessories and protecon devices against sucon, cut-o valves, etc.) must have the same
dimension as the connecon to the machine assembly, ie. DN15. No throling may exist up to
the ushing water connecon on the machine.
6.2.2. Line Strainer DN15 and Solenoid Valve DN15
The delivered line strainer, DN15 must be mounted in the ow direcon before the solenoid
valve, DN15 in the incoming cold water pipe to the machine. Also make sure that the line
strainer and solenoid valve are mounted in the correct ow direcon (see the arrow on these
components), and that the nut on the line strainer (which is to be opened when cleaning the
line strainer) is directed downwards. Line strainer and solenoid valve have G½” (BSPP), internal
thread.
For funnel mounng that is welded into other manufacturers’ table tops / workbenches, and for
freestanding cabinet and table mounng, these components are pre-assembled from the factory
on the assembly for connecon to cold water supply. Connecon to these assemblies is R½”
(BSPT), external thread.
6.2.3. Hose with Protective Steel-Covered Stocking for Flushing Water,
Minimum Inner-Ø 9mm
Between the incoming water pipe mounted on the wall/bulkhead, and the connecon for
ushing water on the machine assembly, a hose with protecve steel-covered stocking (with
minimum inner-Ø 9 mm) must be ed. This hose absorbs the compressive push in the pipe
when the ushing water is turned on and absorbs any small vibraons which may occur during
the grinding process of the disposer. This hose is not included in standard delivery but is available
as an opon from Disperator.

6.3. Connection of Pump Outlet to Drain Waste Pipe going to Tank
The drain waste pipe installaon going to tank for the delivered machine must only be made by an
authorised installer of sewer supply for pressurized pipes and in accordance to valid local regulaons.
6.3.1. To Check before the Connection is made
Check with the installer of the drain waste pipe going to tank to conrm that:
• hose, tubing, ngs and any valves used have the pressure class PN16,
• pipe draw to tank outside building has been done in the ground on a frost-free depth, or
otherwise protected against freezing,
• monitoring of the tank level exists, which also stops the machine when the tank is full,
• the tank is venlated,
• frost-free ushing water outlet with hose and gun are available when emptying the tank.
6.3.2. Specication and Connection of Drain Waste Pipe
Use a movable ange with gasket on the drain line when this is connected to the machine’s pump
outlet DN50 (outer Ø165 mm, 4x mounng holes Ø18 mm on hole circle Ø125 mm).
Never reduce or increase the inner diameter of the drainpipe that goes to tank. If DN50, PN16
pipe is not used, this can cause the drainage pipe to break, or alternavely there will be a stop in
the pipe. The reasons for this are that if the GTS-processor is connected to a drainpipe with:
* less diameter than the pump outlet, the internal resistance of the drainpipe will increase
exponenally, which can cause the pump and / or pipe to break apart.
* larger diameter than the pump outlet, the ow rate in the drain pipe is lowered, and the food
waste therefore seles more easily (i.e. lays more easily on the boom of the pipe), and to a
greater extent only the liquid phase moves to the tank. Over me, this can lead to blockage in
the pipe.
The only reason to increase the inner diameter of the drainpipe is if several GTS-processors are
connected to the same main line that goes to one and the same tank.
