MODEL 10ASX - SPECIFICATIONS

 

1.0 General Specifications

      There shall be furnished one (1) one only Grind Hog^TM Model 10ASX Comminutor as manufactured by G.E.T. Industries Inc. with rotation in a counter-clockwise direction.

 

1.1 Design Criteria

      The comminutor shall be designed to handle the flows indicated below, within the head loss noted.

 

      a)   hydraulic capacity 850 GPM (53.6 l/s)

      b)   satisfactory operation shall occur under conditions of zero flow

      c)   head loss at peak flow shall not exceed 10 inches (250)

      d)   design shall be such that the flow enters the size reduction and screening device horizontally and exists vertically downward to facilitate the flushing of solids

 

1.2 Rotating Drum Screen

      a)   heavy-duty Cast Ductile Iron ASTM 536, grade 60-45-18

 

1.3 Cutting Elements

      a)   replaceable shear bars constructed of high-quality A2 tool-steel shall be attached to the rotating drum.  Each shear bar shall be machined from solid bar stock, surface ground to establish exact tolerances

      b)   stationary cutting bar shall be of high-quality 01 tool steel hardened to a minimum of 56 Rockwell C, and shall be reversible, allowing for four (4) sets of cutting edges prior to sharpening or replacement

      c)   all submerged fasteners shall be of stainless steel

 

1.4 Flanged Body

      a)   the body of the comminutor shall be of high quality cast iron and so designed to allow free unobstructed flow of influent through the unit.  A Neoprene “O” Ring shall seal the chamber, allowing for operation under conditions of abnormally high head

      b)   the inlet flange shall be 8" (200)

 

1.5 Motor

      Submersible, Explosion-proof 1 Hp. (.746 kw), 1750 RPM ______ volt, 3 phase, 60 HZ, rated for continuous-in-air or submerged in sewage service.  Power control cable of 25 ft (7.6 m) included.  Class 1, Group C and D, Division 1 Hazardous locations.  The motor shall feature:

 

·           Frame - rugged cast iron ASTM type A-48, class 30

·           Hardware - 316 stainless steel

·           Stator Insulation - specially treated class "F" and "H" non-hydroscopic insulation with multiple dips and brakes.  Phase insulation included for inverter duty

·           Rotor - die cast aluminum, dynamically balanced.  Exceeds NEMA limits per MGI - 12.06

·           Shaft - high strength 416 stainless steel

·           Bearings - specially adapted for vertical assembly.  Both upper and lower bearings are pre-packed and sealed for life with special high temperature grease

·           Cable Entry System - epoxy sealed butt spliced connect for non-wicking cable entry design

·           Moisture System - two wire /two probe monitoring system constantly monitors oil chamber and stator housing for moisture

·           Seals - tandem (dual) shaft steal system working independent of each other.  Designed to withstand 100 PSI at all seal locations

 

1.6 Drive Arrangement

      a)   the motor shall be close-coupled to a speed reducer drive, a heavy duty planetary gear of the totally enclosed non-vented type suitable for total submergence during emergencies

      b)   double seals on the output shaft shall ensure flood-proof operation through a reduction ratio of 35:1

      c)   the cycloidal reducer shall be capable of withstanding shock loads to 500% of its mechanical rating of 4.27 Hp. and be warranted for two (2) years

      d)   the drive shall have a minimum full load efficiency of 90% and be pre-lubricated with grease, requiring routing maintenance every 500 to 1,000 hours

 

A) Auto-Coupling Slide Rail Wet Well

      a)   each Grind Hog^TM shall be equipped with a Slide Rail System allowing for removal without entering the wet well

      b)   a stationary PVC Overflow Coupling Box Assembly shall be flange mounted to the gravity sewer pipe as shown on the drawings.  An open top will allow for overflow in the event of a disruption in service

      c)   Guide Rails shall be of 304 stainless steel pipe, 1.5" in diameter, and shall be of adequate length as shown on the drawings

      d)   Guide Rail Supports shall be 304 stainless steel and shall be mounted to the wet well wall

      e)   all anchorage hardware shall be of stainless steel and shall be supplied by the contractor

 

B) Auto-Coupling Slide Rail - Chamber

      a)   each Grind Hog^TM shall be equipped with a Slide Rail System allowing for removal without entering the wet well

      b)   a stationary galvanized steel Overflow Bar Screen and influent trough shall be mounted under the gravity sewer pipe as shown on the drawing.  Support brackets and hardware shall be provided (304 S.S.).  Anchorage shall be supplied by the contractor

      c)   Guide Rail Supports shall be of 304 stainless steel pipe, 1.5" diameter, and shall be of adequate length as shown on the drawings

      d)   Guide Rail Supports shall be 304 stainless steel and shall be mounted to the wet well wall

      e)   all anchorage hardware shall be of stainless steel and shall be supplied by the contractor
