All TRAPP shredders, single-phase or three-
phase, are assembled with dual voltage
motors. They leave factory without electrical
connection to allow the customer to choose
the kind of connection based on the voltage
of their property power source.
For shredders sold without motor, the choice
of the minimum power shall follow the
technical data shown on pg. 47.
For motors of power higher than 5 cv, it is
recommended to use a delta-star switch
to start them. The model suggested is ETW
(WEG Acionamentos) or a similar one.
As the on/off switch is distant from the
shredder, install an emergency button in the
equipment in case immediate switching off is
necessary.
Checking
Before operating the shredder check:
If there are tools or objects on the motor or
on the equipment, especially inside the feed
funnel.
If there is something obstructing the motor.
If the rotation direction is correct.
If the voltage of the power source is the same
of that of the shredder.
If there are people or objects near pulleys
and belts.
Motor Installation
Operation Instructions
Attention!
Before making any kind of connection, make
sure the power source is disconnected.
1. Make sure that the power source where the
shredder will be installed is compatible with
the data on the motor plate.
2. Disconnect the power source to make motor
connections.
3. Make the connections shown according to
the voltage of the power source.
4. Use insulating tape in the connections done
to protect them.
5. Make sure the connections are well insulated.
6. Turn on power source and check the rotation
of the motor.
Note:
If the equipment is properly prepared,
start the motor, allow it to reach
maximum revolution and start working.
Keep both diesel and gasoline motors
running for some minutes for them to
reach normal working temperature.
Never leave a diesel or gasoline motor
running in a confided area or without
proper ventilation. The gas from the
exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which is inodorous and lethal.
