avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazard with a moderate degree of risk which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazard with a low degree of risk which, if not
avoided, will result in minor or moderate injury.
ATTENTION
This describes a requirement to act in a certain way or carry out

3.2 Intended uses
CAUTION
Only use the BioMaster®Slim as intended and when the machine's condition does
not present any safety-related issues.

The BioMaster®Slim is only to be used commercially for filling with and grinding raw or-
ganic and food waste of the kind that is usually generated in commercial kitchens, can-
teens, hotels, food service and communal catering. The ground waste is mixed with wa-
ter and pumped out of the BioMaster®Slim into a storage tank using a closed system. It
is then ready to be collected and taken to a biogas plant where it can be recycled and
used to generate energy.
Food and raw organic waste must always be inserted mixed.
The parameters and environmental conditions defined in chapter 14, ‘Technical data,’
must be strictly adhered to.

4 Structure and function
4.1 Function
The BioMaster®Slim works as the feeding station in the BioTrans System®. The Bio-
Trans System® offers an economically and ecologically sensible solution for recycling
food waste and scraps. The system is used in commercial kitchens, canteens, hotels,
food service and communal catering. The BioMaster®Slim converts the waste produced
into a homogenous biomass.
Food and raw organic waste is fed into the loading chute on the BioMaster®Slim and
ground down with added process water in the grinder.
The resulting biomass is pumped out of the BioMaster®Slim and transported via a closed
pipe system to the storage tank.

WARNING
There is a danger of the BioMaster®Slim tipping over during transport.
This could cause severe personal injury and damage to property.
Secure the BioMaster®Slim against tipping during transport.
When transporting the BioMaster®Slim, make sure that you:
Please note the environmental conditions defined in chapter 14, ‘Technical data.’
Avoid strong mechanical impacts (shocks, vibrations, etc.)
Switch off the BioMaster®Slim at the main switch before transport, even if it is only a minor
change of location.
Protect the BioMaster®Slim from direct sunlight, frost and other extreme climatic conditions.
Avoid extreme climatic changes (e.g. transport from a lorry to a heated room at high humidity
in winter).
Close all hatches and lids before transport. Secure them against unintentional opening.
When transporting the BioMaster®Slim, follow the general safety rules for transporting loads.
Do not lift or transport the BioMaster®Slim manually.
When considering the permissible floor loading for transport, take into account both the weight
of the BioMaster®Slim and the self weight of the means of transport.
Only transport the BioMaster®Slim using a pallet truck or forklift. The load capacity must be >
140 kg, the fork length > 600 mm. Drive both forks completely under the BioMaster®Slim, pay-
