GENERAL
The FD4 Series disposers utilize hardened stainless steel cutter blocks (1, Fig. 1) mounted to a rotating
ywheel (4, Fig. 1) and a stationary shredder ring (2 Fig. 1) to grind food waste to a small particle size
for discharge through waste lines. With the motor running and ushing water turned on, food waste is
reduced to grinding size by the rotating "hi-bulk" cutter (3, Fig. 1). Grinding occurs as the food waste is
forced against the shredder ring by the cutter blocks and the centrifugal force due to rotation. The ushing
water aids the grinding action and discharges ground food waste into the waste line.
The disposer features removable hardened steel components and reversible rotation with grinding in both
directions and a manual reset inherent overload protector in the motor circuit. The disposer is self feeding,
making it unnecessary to force the food waste into the grinding mechanism. It may be completely lled
with waste when idle, and will start and operate at full load.
Control groups and accessory groups are available to suit each installation.
