ASTM F1899

This specification covers pulper assemblies intended for grinding of food scraps and limited amounts of cardboard, paper, and disposable plastic food service wear. Pulper assemblies shall be of the following types: Type A and Type B. Lubricating points shall be readily accessible, and the pulper shall be lubricated with the proper amount of lubricant prior to delivery. All surfaces of the machine, other than corrosion-resistant materials, shall be protected against corrosion in the use environment and shall present a neat appearance. Test method shall be performed to demonstrate the ability of the unit to meet the capacity requirements and to insure that there is no leakage during operation.
