INSTALLATION OPTIONS
FOR THE INSTALLER
These Instructions contain important information designed to help the user obtain the maximum
benefit from the investment in an IMC WastePro II.
Please read them carefully before starting work, and consult with the supplier in the event of any
queries.
Be sure to leave this Instruction Manual with the user after the installation of the machine is
complete.
The machine is operated from the built-in control box.
SELECTION OF SITE
Select the site of the WastePro II with care so that it is convenient both for the major source of food
waste and for access by machine operators. The machine should be installed as close to the existing
drains as reasonably practicable.

SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
HOT AND COLD WATER INLET SUPPLIES
THE FOLLOWING ARE IMPORTANT INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The plumbing system is to be installed and used in accordance with the requirements of the Water
Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and Byelaws. The purpose of these regulations is to protect your
drinking water supply from contamination.
Customers are to ensure that the HOT water supply is compliant and has an approved air break or
back flow prevention.
By-laws and Regulations vary by region so it is important to check with the authority having
jurisdiction in your area.
A 15 mm HOT water supply is required on the WastePro II, and the connection should be made to
the ¾”‘Washing Machine’style connection on the rear of the machine. The head of water should
not be less than 0.18 bar (1.8m).
The rate of flow required for normal food waste is 10 - 12 litres per minute.
WASTE OUTLET CONNECTION
The machines are fitted with a standard 2”waste pipe stub outlet. The size of these outlets must
not be reduced, and the drainpipe should run into 54mm outside diameter pipe work as far as its
junction with the main pipe or outside manhole connection. The length of run between the machine
and the main junction must be kept to a minimum and the pipe run must have a fall of at least 1 in
7. A running trap should be fitted, although “P”or “S”type traps can be used. Do not use bottle
traps. Changes of direction should be made by bends rather than elbows and cleaning eyes should
be fitted where possible, in accordance with standard plumbing practice. Copper pipe and
compression fittings should be used, but plastic tubing is acceptable to most drainage authorities.
IMC WastePro’s must have an independent waste pipe, which does not also serve sinks, dishwashers
and similar equipment. It is imperative that the waste pipe from the WasteStation bypasses any
existing in-line grease trap or grease separator that may be present unless said trap or separator
has been specified to suit the output of the WasteStation along with the existing equipment. Should
a grease trap or separator be used solely for the WasteStation, it must be specified by the supplier
to suit the output of the WasteStation. If this outlet is positioned below a control box, it is important
to use fittings, which give at least the minimum 220 mm clearance, required for service access.
Ensure the installation complies with local water regulations.
Every machine is run and tested by IMC before dispatch. The water flow adjustments are made
when installed in the final location. A service valve should be installed in the pipe work to the water
inlet and this should be set fully open to start with, adjusting to suit during installation. Ensure that
water supply demands made by other equipment served by the same supply pipe do not starve the
WastePro II. To avoid this, run the piping in a size larger than recommended above and reduce at
connection point to the machine.

WastePro II
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and in accordance with the IEE Codes
of Practice. Examine the rating plate located on the rear panel (next to the mains inlet) to ensure
that the characteristics shown are correct for the supply available. The supply cable fitted is the
minimum required for connection to the mains supply. Site conditions may vary with additional
length of cable run, encapsulation in trunking, bunched with other cables etc. Should this apply, the
electrician must alter the cable accordingly.
The WastePro II should be connected to a suitable 3-phase isolator providing at least 3mm
separation in all poles.
The mains supply cord - cable colours and cable markings are shown in the table below:
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
If the supply cord becomes damaged it must be replaced by qualified electrician in order to avoid a
hazard.
Examine the rating plate attached to the machine to ensure that the characteristics shown are
correct for the supply available. The rating plate is located on the rear of the machine. The rating
shown is for the WastePro II itself , the overall rating will be higher depending on the rating of the
(existing) Macerator that is connected to the WastePro II and that should be taken into account for
the electricity supply

TESTING
Check finally that all supply connections are correctly made and soundly fixed, that nothing has been
left in the grinding chamber (of the Connected Macerator), that the rotor is free to rotate (use the
release key if necessary) and that the interlock knob is screwed down.
The machine is now ready to operate.
OPERATION OF MACHINE
During the operation of the machine certain indicator lights will be illuminated on the front control
box these give an indication of what operation the machine is carrying out.

INITIAL OPERATION
1. Switch on the electricity and water supplies.
2. Ensure that a waste bin is in place in the machine outlet area (a red light will illuminate if
the bin is not in place).
3. Press the green ‘START’button, water should flow immediately, if no water flows within 2
seconds, press the emergency stop button to stop the machine and check the water supply
connections and ensure that the water supplies are turned on.
4. With the machine running, inspect the waste and water supply piping for leaks. Estimate that
the volume of water flowing is correct –refer to WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION. If adjustments
are needed, use a screwdriver to adjust the position of the slot on the control screw of the
service valve. Maximum flow is with the slot in line with the pipe.
5. Ensure that the auger within the dewaterer (WastePro II) is rotating in a clockwise direction
(viewed from top and same direction as the arrow on the motor).
6. Try a small amount of food waste (approx. 1 litre) to check disposal and dewatering are
working successfully and that there is no internal obstruction in the waste pipe causing a
blockage. Also check that a small amount of waste goes into the waste bin.
7. With the machine running unscrew the interlock knob on the (Connected) Macerator .The
machine will switch itself off almost immediately.
When these checks, tests and adjustments are completed, the IMC WastePro II is ready for use.
NORMAL OPERATION
1. Ensure that safety baffle is closed and the interlock knob is screwed down fully on the
(Connected) Macerator.
2. Press green button to start. This activates the start-up sequence.
3. Feed waste into the hopper at a uniform rate ( not too fast ), using a feeding pusher if
necessary, briefly allowing each load to clear the macerator before feeding in the next
batch.
4. If the macerator stalls or is severely overloaded, it may cause the automatic cut out on the
motor to operate. Once the motor has cooled it can be re-started. Note that stopping the
motor and restarting it reverses the direction of the rotor and can help to relieve an
overload. If the machine remains stalled, see RELEASING A JAM below.
5. If overly wet food goes into the waste bin then the rate of feeding the hopper should be
decreased immediately , and the unit allowed to run with no food for a short while
to allow it to flush.

13 | P a g e
WastePro II
RELEASING A JAM (Connected Macerator)
As a result of a jam occurring, the machine will stall and stop. Switch off the machine at the mains,
unscrew the interlock knob and lift the safety baffle. Engage the prongs of the release key into the
vanes of the rotor. Exert pressure in either direction to free the blockage and remove the offending
item by hand. Check that the rotor is free to rotate through 360°and withdraw the release key.
Close the safety baffle and screw down the knob fully.
WATER FLOW CONTROL
When operating the WastePro II, the water flow control should initially be set at its highest position
before turning it down whilst the waste is being processed. The rate of water flow can be adjusted
up or down for each installation to take account of unique factors such as the length of, and number
of bends in, the drainage piping, and the fall of the pipe.
A bucket of warm (NOT HOT) , soapy water poured into the FWD’s hopper at the end of each day
will both clean the equipment and help disperse any residual solids in the piping.
MAINTENANCE
Daily: Clean down thoroughly after use especially inside the hopper. Unscrew the safety interlock
knob and open the baffle to gain access internally
Cleaning is assisted by the use of a low-pressure spray, an IMC Pre-Rinse Spray or a Reel-
Kleen retractable hose reel.
Place a washing bowl into the waste bucket area of the WastePro II and with a ‘dishwashing
brush’or similar, clean out the inside of the outfeed chute.
Wipe over the exterior of the machine, including the back areas not normally visible.
Proprietary cleaners may safely be used but avoid particularly aggressive cleaners and neat
bleach solutions.
End each day by pressing the blue ‘Clean’button and allowing the machine to perform its
own automated cleaning cycle (a bin must be in place to do this)
12 monthly: Check for bearing wear by:
-Sound of motor
-Knocking Sound From WastePro II

WARNING –BEFORE ATEMPTING SERVICE WORK ENSURE THAT ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND WATER SUPPLY
ARE TURNED OFF AT THE MAIN SUPPLY AND WATER STOPCOCK.
USAGE
1The IMC WastePro II is designed for the disposal and dewatering of food waste. Fat can
safely be disposed of provided it has solidified.
2DO NOT PUT CLING FILM, LIQUID FAT, STRING, CLOTH, PLASTIC, WIRE, GLASS, CORK,
STYROFOAM, BOILING WATER, HOT SOUP, HOT LIQUID OR METAL OBJECTS INTO THE
MACHINE.
3Always start the machine before putting waste into it. Introducing mixed waste into the
machine will ensure more efficient disposal than accumulating and introducing waste of
a similar nature.
4DO NOT FEED LARGE AMOUNTS ALL AT ONCE THIS WILL CAUSE BLOCKAGES.
5IF FEEDING LARGE QUANTITIES OF THE SAME FOOD ITEM, i.e. RICE, PASTA, POTATOES
etc. IT MUST BE FED SLOWLY ALLOWING EACH SMALL BATCH TO PASS THROUGH THE
DEWATERER INTO THE BIN OR BLOCKAGES MAY OCCUR.
