SANIPACK
The
Sanipack is built into a wall cavity provided by a concealed frame system.
The reservoir is also built into the wall and all the user sees
is a large push button that activates the flush. The Sanipack is a system that
is used to install a complete bathroom up to 9 feet below the sewer line, or
even up to 100 feet away from a soil stack.
Note: the wall carrier and the toilet bowl are supplied by other manufacturers
such as American Standard and Geberit.
Ask for Product No. 111.335.00.1 which
is the Wall Frame that is designed for our Sanipack unit. This frame can
be used with wall-hung toilets from such manufacturers are Porcher, Duravit
and
American Standard.
Since the reservoir, the macerating pump and the pipes are hidden from view,
this type of installation gives you the lean and clean look of a European
bathroom or powder room.
The
Sanipack is simplicity itself to install; there are just four connections:
The macerating/pump is connected to the discharge pipe coming from the
wall hung toilet.
The toilet tank is connected to the water supply.
The macerating/pump is connected to the small diameter discharge pipe
work.
The macerating/pump is connected to the electrical supply.
The
inside of the Sanipack comprises of a pressure chamber, which starts and
stops the unit,
and the motor, which drives the stainless steel macerator
blades
and the pump.
When
the flush is activated, the water flowing into the Sanipack activates a microswitch
in the pressure chamber, which in turn starts the
motor.
The motor
is sealed for life in oil filled enclosure. A common spindle drives the
impeller and the macerator blades. The moving parts therefore are kept
to an absolute
minimum. Water and organic waste matter, enter the chamber and are reduced
to slurry as the macerator blades rotate at 3600 RPM. The centrifugal
force causes
the reduced solids to be ejected through a grill into the container where
it is picked up by the impeller pump mounted beneath the motor. The pump
operates
at 10 PSI and pumps the effluent upward to 9 feet and/or 100 feet horizontally.
Once the water is discharged and the water level in the container goes
down, the microswitch deactivates the unit until the flush is activated
again.
A normal operating cycle for Sanipack takes about 15 - 18 seconds depending
upon
the discharge
pipe run configuration; power consumption is therefore minimal.
In
addition to the toilet waste, Sanipack will also discharge gray wastewater
from a
variety of other sanitary fixtures, such as: a hand basin, shower,
a bidet and a urinal. When adding a shower, a base will have to be
constructed, made
out of 2" x 6" on edge, to allow for the installation of
a P-trap and some gravity flow towards the pump unit.
The
wastewater from other sanitary fixtures is discharged into Sanipack
via two 1 1/2-inch inlets, on either side of the housing. Either
one or both
inlets can
be used as required. The discharge elbow on top of the Sanipack can
be turned either to the left or to the right, depending on the discharge
installation.
The
Sanipack is designed to provide vertical pumping up to 9 feet as well as
a horizontal discharge, therefore a simple flapper
style
check
valve
is incorporated.
It has now become possible to install a complete bathroom where
previously this would have been impossible or where considerable capital
equipment
and structural
work would have been necessary.
The
water closet the Sanipack is connected to, uses much less water than a regular
toilet, it uses 6 liters (1.6 USG)
of water per flush.
