  • Page 5: Technical Features

    TECHNICAL FEATURES The SAS DRY CONE spray unit uses the principal of atomising the powder as it is pumped through the spray nozzle. The powder becomes atomised and passes through an electrostatic field, the powder is then able to obtain the ultimate wrap-around effect, onto a grounded product. An electronic safety device, incorporated into the SAS power supply unit, automatically detects the presence of a grounded object in the vicinity of the spray head.

  • Page 14: Mains Power Wiring

    IMPORTANT When fitting a plug to the mains lead it is essential that it contains an earthing/grounding contact and that this is connected. Under no circumstances should this equipment be connected to a mains supply which does not include an earthing/grounding wire and contacts.
  • Page 15: Installation

    INSTALLATION 1. For full and perfect performance the drum will require at least 6 horizontal flights and diameter of at least 0.750 mtr. 2. The cone needs to be positioned just below the screw feeder and the spray heads needs to be positioned inside the drum facing the tumbling product at a 45º angle. 3.
  • Page 16: Atomization

    14. Plug mains electric supply into back of control (Item 14) and lock into position. When wiring up the mains supply the earth must be wired to the factory mains earthing system. 15. Item 15 at the back of the control is for a remote trigger for tuning the unit to switch on and off with an existing production line.
  • Page 17: Start Up

    START UP ELECTROSTATIC CIRCUIT 1 - Connect the SAS control to its power source 2 - Supply the SAS control with clean dry compressed air (P = 4 bar / 58 psi) 3 - Turn the power-supply ON/OFF switch to the ON position (Item 3) 4 - Turn the voltage on/off switch on (Item 5) The power supply emits a constant voltage at any given setting from 3,5 to 13 Vdc.
  • Page 18: Cleaning

    The ON/OFF switches on the power supply and to the spray head must be OFF before starting cleaning opération. Wait for 10 seconds before entering the drum All metallic parts located within and around the spray head must be correctly connected to the ground.
  • Page 19: Servicing

    SERVICING 1 - The electric power supply must be interrupted before any cleaning operation (power supply unit switched OFF). 2 - When shutting off the voltage, wait for some 10 seconds so that the electric charge has time to reach the ground. 3 - Do not soak or immerse the spray unit or any plastic parts in a solvent.
