6. Installation

6.1 Transport

To protect the Conair Dual TrueFeed gravimetric feeder against damage during transport, the unit is packaged
in a cardboard box filled with polyurethane foam. Delivery terms are FOB Franklin, PA. The buyer is
responsible for the transport. Conair cannot be held liable for any damage that might occur during transport.

6.2 Receipt

Check the unit thoroughly upon receipt. Pass any remarks to the local agent or Conair representative within
eight working days upon receipt of goods.

6.3 Mechanical Installation

Most mechanical parts are pre-assembled, making installation quick and simple.
1. When installing a main material hopper (not included with feeder purchase) on top of the throat adaptor,
the 6 x 6 inch top flange of the NST40 throat adaptor will have 5 x 5 inch pre-drilled mounting holes.
2. -Install the throat adaptor directly on top of the entrance of the production machine.
-Install the throat adaptor in a 90-degree angle to the machine barrel. This will optimize the feeding
accuracy in relation to the vibration of the production machine.
-Make sure that the complete unit is mounted
horizontally level and is secure.
-Assure proper grounding to control cabinet,
throat adaptor and feeder.
3. Remove the transport
protection pin (at the bottom
of the loadcell frame) before
placing the hopper
assembly. This is just a pin
on a flexible chain, do not
dismount the stainless steel
plate!
4. Connect the hopper assembly to the throat adaptor
by turning the thumb knob clockwise. Make sure that
the thumb knob is tightened firmly.
5. Mount the controller in a vibration-free area and away
from high temperatures.
