2. Specifications
2.1. Capacities and usage
The “Vernacare Compact” macerator will dispose of a single “Vernacare” disposable
product such as a bedpan liner, bottle etc. together with its contents in a single cycle.
Do not stack products inside each other or attempt to dispose of more than one item in
a single cycle as this will impair the effective operation of the machine and in severe
cases, may cause the motor to stall. It is considered good practice to operate the
machine each time a product is placed into the machine.
Do not place string, wipes, plastic or metal items inside the machine as these may
damage components.
Note: Vernacare “Senset” wipes can be disposed of in the Compact macerator.
2.2. Handling
The weight of the “Vernacare Compact” complete with pallet and packaging is 58 kg
(machine only 50 kg). The “Vernacare Compact” should be moved to the point of
installation by fork, pallet or sack truck whilst still attached to the pallet provided.
2.3. Electrical specification
The machine is supplied with a 3-meter length of 1.5mm flex, which shall be connected
to either:
230 Volt Machine – 10 Amp MCB to BS EN60898 Type C or alternatively fused 10 Amp
to BS EN60269-1. An appropriate I.E.C Approved 10 Amp isolator shall be installed in
both cases.
110 Volt Machine – 16 Amp MCB to BS EN60898 Type C or alternatively fused 16 Amp
to BS EN60269-1. An appropriate I.E.C Approved 16 Amp isolator shall be installed in

3. General Description
3.1. General description
The Vernacare Compact disposal unit is designed to dispose of Vernacare single use
products, human waste, toilet tissue and maceratable wipes. No other materials should be
placed in the machine. Items to be disposed of are placed in the hopper; the disposal cycle
breaks down the contents of the hopper and disperses it in water to form a fine slurry. During
the cycle the contents of the hopper are sealed inside the machine by the lid seal and the
drain valve. At the end of the cycle the slurry is discharged to the drains by opening the drain
valve.
The lid is opened and closed by use of a foot sensor, the operator places a foot below the
machine on the spot of light projected on the floor to open or close the lid. There are two
modes of operation: as standard the machine will be in auto-start mode in which case the
disposal cycle will start automatically each time the lid is closed; in manual mode the
disposal cycle is started by pressing the start button.
The disposal cycle lasts around 3 minutes during which time water is added to the hopper
and the waste materials are broken down by the cutter motor blades. At the end of the cycle
the drain valve opens to allow the contents to drain and the inside of the machine is rinsed
with clean water and deodoriser is added.
3.2. Safety related control functions
The cutter blades in the base of the hopper are potentially hazardous. To prevent operators
or maintainers being exposed to the hazard of moving blades there is a safety control
system. The control system will not allow the motor to be energised until the lid is closed and
locked. There is a magnetic sensor that switches when the lid is in the closed position and a
micro-switch that switches when the lid lock is in the locked position. There is a second
independent control which inhibits the inverter (variable frequency drive) output to the motor.
Interfering with or attempting to defeat any of these safety related components is potentially
dangerous. Any work on the control system should only be carried out by an authorised
Vernacare technician.

4.3. Plumbing
4.3.1. Water supply
The machine should be connected to a suitable cold water supply as follows:-
The connection to the machine water tank is made at the rear of the machine on the top
right hand side corner of the machine. It is a standard connection to a ¾ ” BSP male
fitting. Flow rate should be 4 litres per minute minimum.
Note: The inlet flow valve is supplied already fitted with a flow restrictor in place. The
restrictor should be left in place on tank fed installations with heads above 50ft or mains
fed installations with pressures above 1.5 bar (25psi). In all other circumstances the flow
restrictor is not required.
4.3.2. Drain connection
The drain is connected by inserting a 40mm pipe into the blue flexible outlet and fitting
& tightening the clip provided. Please note there is a P trap integrated into the machine
so an external one is not required.
Points to Watch
·
Ensure that the supply line to the unit is at no point less than 15mm - larger
if available head is low.
·
Ensure that the water supply cannot be starved by any other fittings.
·
Fit an easily accessible, full way isolating valve close to the unit.
·
For installations with dirty water supplies it is recommended that an in-line
filter is fitted.
·
Ensure that the route taken to soil drain is the shortest, with minimum
number of bends.
If necessary, use long radius or ‘swept’ bends - never short or 90’ elbows.
·
The waste must be run separately to the soil stack or drain.
·
Ensure that there is a fall of a minimum of 1 in 25 or a sufficient fall to
maintain a self-cleansing velocity.
·
Provide easy access for roding.
·
Ensure a clean run inside the pipework - leave no burrs or reducing
shoulders.
·
With plastic pipework, ensure that there is no reduction in the bore size and
that there is adequate support for horizontal runs to prevent sagging.
Remember, ceiling voids can get very warm.
·
Avoid running the drain line near or across hot water pipes.
·
Anti-syphon precautions should be in line with general practice.
