How to install a dumbwaiter
In case you are thinking about installingthe dumbwaiter in the commercial,industrial and private residence. Theinstallation process for the dumbwaiter will not start up to the time that themanufacturing and the design had been chosen. When this first phase had beenfinished, then the installation process will start.
Even if different dumbwaiters may be uniquefrom a manufacturer to another, when it comes to installation, the process isthe same.
Building the shaft
A dumbwaiterwill require a shaft to be able to operate going up or going down. Architects who are designing the new homes,he should dedicate the space for such system, but if the property is alreadybuilt, then the shaft will be created using existing space. To be able to do this, it will require anengineer or an architect. When the shaftis completed and the specification had been determined together with thedumbwaiter, then the installation process will start.
Installation of the dumbwaiter
The manual dumbwaiter was used as the onlyoption for some years ago, but different things had changed from that time upto now. The dumbwaiter used now areautomatic and electric and they are safer compared to the dumbwaiters that wereused in few years ago. When a shaft gets completed, the new step will be toinstall the dumbwaiter motor with the actuator. These are the components which are responsible in controlling and movingthis system. The motor is found on top of a shaft within the rails and systemframe.
Anchor for dumbwaiter system
If the motor gets installed, the entiresystem will have to be anchored so that it will not get out of its place. Even a simple error can lead to long termproblems for the entire system. Thedumbwaiter will travel on a frame, which are pulled by a force which will be exertedby a motor. When the assembly isfastened in the right way, then the next step will be connecting the system tothe power.
Connecting to the power
Before, the dumbwaiters used manualoperation, however now, they work with just pushing a simple button and thingswill be moved from an area to another. The final step will be to connect the installation to electricalcomponents which is built for every project. A licensed electrician will play a big role, when it comes to connectelectricity to a dumbwaiter system.
The last step is to test if the system isworking in the right way and make up a maintenance plan.
