DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS
3.4.1
Supporting stand
The shredder rests on a stand made of electrically welded steel shaped plates. The stands are always
closed on three sides by a fixed protection grid, whereas one side is furnished with grid doors with
manual lever lock and safety micro switches. It is impossible for the operator to come in contact with
the moving mechanical parts because prevented by the grid. The replacement of the vessel aimed at
collecting the shredded material, through the doors furnished with micro switches, may be carried out
in complete safety since the micro switches prevent the shredder from starting up when the doors are
open. The stand's bearing plates on the floor are provided with holes so that they can be appropriately
bolted to the floor, and ensure that the machine is stable and prevent it from overturning even in the
case of accidental impact.
The holes for anchoring the shredding chamber are provided on the upper part of the stand.
3.4.2
Feeding Hopper
The hopper for hard disks is fitted with a manual loading box with a handle. The operator opens the
box and loads a single hard disk. While opening the box closes the access to the hopper inner area, in
order to protect the operator. When the box is being closed the hard disk slides towards the shredding
chamber. A vertical plate inside the hopper directs the material towards two different areas of the
grinding chamber, equipped with different blades: one is for hard disks shredding, and the other one
is for lighter electronic material shredding (light material). The hopper is fixed to the shredding
chamber by a flange, bolted on the shredding body.
The hopper is completely closed and it does not allow to check the status of the blades and the
shredding chamber. For checking the shredding chamber, please see paragraph
inspection of the blades pack HDD GLADIATOR series
