8. Panel power plate Indicates that

the panel is powered by the voltage indicated on the data plate The access to the panel is allowed to specialized personnel only who, before touching the electrical equipment, must disconnect the machine from its power source by turning the main switch to 0 - (o󰀨) and by removing the plug from the electrical socket. Feeders transfer the products to the production centres by means of a powerful air ow created by a vacuum unit. The power supply is equipped with a single-phase motor, suitable for non-continuous use. Under no circumstances must it be used to vacuum liquids. The loading hopper is entirely made of stainless steel. The electrical circuit is timed. The hose conveying the product is non-toxic/antistatic with the stainless steel probe tube at the end. The vacuum unit creates vacuum inside the hopper. The product is suctioned into the hopper by means of the hose and the probe pipe. When these reach the level set by the timer, the vacuum unit stops and the vacuum is cut o󰀨. After this, the slide valve opens and permits the product to drop into the user machine. Once this phase is completed, a counterow of air cleans the lter at the top of the hopper (only on XR/XRF models). The machine is ready for a new cycle. The loading, discharge and lter cleaning times can all be adjusted by means of programmer installed in the electrical panel.A136 - A128 5 C47

Failure to comply with these instructions could jeopardize your safety. Moreover, such action would immediately void the EC declaration of conformity/ incorporation issued with the machine. CAUTION! For maintenance procedures not described in this manual, please contact the manufacturer's technical support or sales network. CAUTION! To guarantee the safety level of the machine, only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used. CAUTION! The precautions described below must be taken during all maintenance operations, including cleaning and replacing the primary and absolute lters. ■ To allow the user to carry out the maintenance operations, the machine must be disassembled, cleaned and overhauled as far as is reasonably possible, without causing hazards for the maintenance sta󰀨 or other people. The suitable precautions include decontamination before disassembling the machine, adequate ltered ventilation of the exhaust air from the room in which it is disassembled, cleaning of the maintenance area, and suitable personal protection. ■ The external parts of the machine must be decontaminated by cleaning and vacuuming methods, dedusted or treated with sealant before being taken out of a hazardous zone. ■ All parts of the machine must be considered as contaminated when they are removed from the hazardous zone and appropriate actions must be taken to prevent dust from dispersing. ■ When maintenance or repair procedure are carried out, all the contaminated elements that cannot be properly cleaned, must be eliminated. ■ These elements must be disposed of in sealed bags in accordance with applicable regulations and local laws on the disposal of such material. ■ This procedure must also be followed for lter disposal (primary and absolute lters). ■ Compartments that are not dust-tight must be opened with suitable tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.) and thoroughly cleaned. ■ A check must be carried out by the manufacturer or the personnel of the same at least once a year. For example: Check the air lters to nd out whether the air-tightness of the machine has been impaired in any way and make sure that the electric control panel operates correctly. Primary lter cleaning Figure 5 To check the status of the lter: - Loosen the hooks (4). - Remove the cover (3). - Lift the cover (8). - Check the condition (9) of the lter. The lter must be replaced if it is torn or worn through wear. If the lter is clogged, clean it with compressed air. - Check the condition of the lter gasket. - Assemble the components in the reverse order of disas- sembly. Main and absolute lter disassembly and replacement CAUTION! When the machine is used to vacuum hazardous substances, the lters become contaminated, therefore: ■ Work with care and avoid spilling the vacuumed dust and/or material; ■ place the disassembled and/or replaced lter in a sealed plastic bag; ■ close the bag hermetically; ■ dispose of the lter in accordance with the laws in force. CAUTION! Filter replacement is a serious matter. The lter must be replaced with one of identical characteristics, ltering surface and category. Otherwise the machine will not operate correctly. Before proceeding with these operations, turn o the machine and remove the plug from the power socket. CAUTION! Before performing these operations, clean the lter as described in the “Maintenance, cleaning and decontamination” paragraph. CAUTION! Take care not to raise dust during this operation. Wear a P3 mask and other protective clothing plus protective gloves (DPI) suited to the hazardous nature of the dust collected, refer to the laws in force.A136 - A128 11 C47

Tightness inspection To ensure optimum e󰀩ciency of the feeder, the entire pipe network must be perfectly air-tight. In particular, make sure that the pick-up hose is in good conditions and properly tted. The hoses must be replaced if they are torn or broken. Also check for clogging inside the hose and inlet. Remove any material deposited in the inlet. Make sure that connecting hoses are in a good condition and correctly xed. If the hoses are damaged, broken or badly connected to the unions, they must be replaced. When sticky materials are treated, check for possible clogging along the hose, in the inlet and on the ba󰀪e plate inside the ltering chamber. To clean, scrape the inlet from the outside to remove deposits.
