Slide Destruction Mechanism

• 2-Stage Design shreds labels and pulverizes glass shards
• Case-hardened destruction components for long life
• Modular design permits quick change-out of the worn slide destruction mechanism
• Analog hour counter keeps track of machine usage (located at back)
• Quiet operation - does not require ear protection. (Sound studies available.)

Capacity

• Approximately 10,000 standard size microscope slides per hour
• Manually loaded - several hundred slides at a time

Collection Box

• Capacity: 2100 slides when crushed
• Weight when full of crushed glass: 23 pounds
• Volume: about .45 feet³ (.013 m³)
• Integrated Lid with Locking Tab
• Side hand holds for easy lifting
• No-tape design
• Corrugated, single ply, 200 lb. test.
• SlydEater includes Basket to store up to 20 knocked down boxes. Basket is removable.

Operating Features

• Large Chute opening for continual feeding of slides
• Chute includes a closeable lid
• Viewing window allows operator to observe crushing mechanism

• Crusher Start (Green - momentary pushbutton)
• Crusher Stop (Red - momentary pushbutton)
• E-Stop: (Red) Shuts down Crusher & Dust Fan motors
• Main Shut Off Power Switch shuts off all power to the machine. (located on back)
• Jam Breaking Jog Switch (Black - located on back)
• Hour Counter (located on back)

• Power On (Green)
• Box Full (Amber - blinking)
• Box Missing (Red - sustained) - also prevents crusher from running
• Filter Missing (Red - sustained) - also prevents crusher from running

• If crusher becomes jammed (may occur if started with slides already loaded), pushing this quickly reverses the crusher direction to clear the jam.

• To easily break up slides that may have bridged over the crushing mechanism, the Operator simply pushes an external knob to actuate a set of spring loaded flippers.

Integral Dust Control

• Air Filtration System protects the operator from dust - both during destruction & Box change-out.
• 2-Stage Filtration with easy change-out design and a super quiet blower fan
  • 1st Stage: Pre-Filter removes coarse material to extend the life of 2nd Stage Filter.
  • 2nd Stage: High-efficiency filter (MERV 12) removes fine dust (up to 90% at 1 micron particulate). (Air Quality study available upon request.)
• Static Air Pressure Gage informs operator when to change out Filter elements.

Maneuverability

• Compact design easily fits through doors & tight spaces
• Large-diameter, locking Casters easily go over door & elevator thresholds.
• Sturdy, brushed Aluminum handles for easy steering.
• Attractive cabinet design fits into any lab setting.

Crushing Mechanism

• Case-hardened Crushing components for long life
• Modular design permits quick change-out of the worn crushing mechanism
• Analog hour counter keeps track of machine usage (located at back)
