HEALTH AND SAFETY Read this manual carefully before starting an Installation Static electricity - Care should be taken to ensure, where necessary, that this and any other equipment is earthed in accordance with BS 5958 Part 1 1983 "Control of Undesirable static Electricity".
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The D9000 compressor is an oil free hook and claw type compressor housed in an acous- tic enclosure incorporating ancillary equipment. The unit is designed for the discharge of a wide range of bulk powders and granules.(A D9000 fitted with an after-cooler is available for the discharge of more heat sensitive products).
Lifting and Handling The D9000 unit weighs approx 300 Kg and should be lifted and installed onto the vehicle on its delivery pallet by fork lift truck. Physical data. The overall dimensions of the D9000 are shown in fig 2. 4 x 13mm Holes 10 x 8 DRIVE SHAFT...
Orientation The D9000 unit is supplied in either Left Hand or Right Hand configurations, Figure 3A shows how to identify Right or Left hand units. RIGHT HAND Fig 3A LEFT HAND RIGHT HAND The D9000 unit can be driven from either of the 2 input shafts provided that the direction of rotation of the compressor shafts is correct.
INSTALLATION When installing the D9000 unit the following must be checked:- The correct rotation of the D9000 rotors. The alignment of the D9000 drive and the vehicle PTO is within limits The cooling air inlet to the unit is unobstructed. The belt drive is installed and aligned correctly.
Alignment The D900 input drive and the vehicle Power Take Off (PTO) should be parallel within 1 degree and positioned such that the linking drive shaft makes an angle of no greater than 12 degrees. Note: Refer to PTO manufacturers literature when installing. 12°...

Fit the wedge-belts over the pulleys, loosen the two M10 setscrews which were tightened, and slide the outer arm away from the compressor so the wedge-belts are not slack. Tighten all M10 capscrews (4) holding the outer arm to the inner arm to 40 Nm. NOTE : The wedge-belts are not under tension at this stage.Use a straight edge check the parallelism of both shafts as follows:...
Fig 8 • Attach outer belt guard (1) to belt drive mounting bracket (6) using three M6 x 16 setscrews and shakeproof washers (2). • Slide inner belt guard (3) inside the outer guard until the three attachment holes line up with each other, then secure both guards together using three M6 x 16 setscrews and shakeproof washers (4).
3.6.4 Silencers. An outlet silencer is integral with the unit and is situated underneath the compressor. An inlet silencer is built into the lid assembly. 3.6.5 Discharge filter (not supplied). Drum can supply an inline micronic discharge filter (Rated at 5 microns) to remove contaminants in the discharged air.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Routine Maintenance The service intervals stated below are based upon intermittent usage of the D9000 unit, with total operating time of less than 5 hours/ day. For continuous operation, or operation at high temperatures, a more frequent and more rigorous service schedule is required. Consult your Drum distributor for details.
5.3 Refilling and checking the oil level. To change the oil first drain the machine as described in section 5.2 then remove the 4 dome nuts and washers securing the top GRP cover. Remove the combined oil filler/dip- stick and pour approx 1.75 litres of replacement oil (Refer chart on this page for recom- mended oils) through the oil filler tube.
Changing the Air Filter To change the Air Filter, remove the top GRP cover and Filter Clamp Disk (Fig 10). The element can then be lifted out and replaced. Paper elements (Part No. 6289992000-2) should be changed every 6 months. Pleated aluminium elements (Part No 6289892000-2) should be inspected every 6 months and any blockage can be blown out with a compressed air line.
