Pneumatic feeding of plastic granules or other dry bulk materials. The machine is only intended for use of this type. If the machine is used outside its field of application, SIMAR GmbH is not liable for damage or faults arising during operation.
1.3 Safety Information Knowledge of basic safety information and safety in the workplace instructions is a precondition for safe handling and problem-free operation of the machine. This Operating Manual includes all the important information needed to operate the machine safely. The in-house safety in the workplace regulations must be followed.
Danger ! The machine is only safe if all safety devices are properly installed and in operation. Do not operate the Drier without safety devices, or with faulty devices, or with safety devices that have been bridged. Safety devices may only be removed once the main switch is disabled. Refit all safety devices once repair work is completed and test them for proper functioning.
1.5 Residual Hazards During operation of the systems, further hazards may arise that can be prevented through safety-conscious working procedures. Danger ! Touching live parts is potentially fatal. Observe the warning notices fitted. Do not remove any covers on the control cabinet. Work on the electrical fittings may only be carried out by authorised electrical specialists.
Transport Danger ! Touching live parts is potentially fatal. Even when making small changes in position, isolate the machine from any external power source. Before recommissioning the machine, it must be properly reconnected to the mains. Warning ! Risk of the pallet falling during transport. Ensure equal loading of the pallet and that suitable means of transport is used.
Commissioning After unpacking check the separator for transportation damage. Prepare the cover of the machine hopper: Mount opening Ø202mm respectively Ø242mm and drill 4 holes for screws M6 according to dimension sheet (sheet 19 and 20). Alternately assembling with clamping ring. Check the inside of the separator for residues of packing.

Trouble shooting Repair work is to be carried out only with mains plug and compressed air disconnected from supply ! Trouble Possible Cause Possible trouble shooting Discharge flap does not close. Clean and adjust discharge flap. No conveying Set conveying time is too long. Separator full although vacuum Set shorter conveying time.
Maintenance 6.1 Safety Information for Maintenance and Repairs Regular maintenance and service is a precondition for reliable use of the machine. Warning ! Only carry out maintenance and repair work on the machine when the machine is switched off at the main switch. Repair work is to be carried out by skilled personal only! Warning ! Risk of injury due to improper handling of compressed air.
6.3 Electronic control unit The control unit needs no service. Adjustments see chapter „FX-controller“. Please do not intervene in the control unit since otherwise the warranty claim will extinguish. Dismantling and Disposal When replacing machine components and disposing of them, statutory regulations must be followed.
Accessories 8.1 Mixing valve Design and function In conjunction with hopper loaders, the mixing valve MZX provides for automatic metered addition of a second material, e.g. regrind material. The desired additional quantity can be pre-selected digitally in percentages at the control unit. (Refer also to operating instructions of control unit ).
Page 16
Construction Assembly Normally the mixing valve is delivered assembled ready for operation, together with hopper loader. If added to existing hopper loader please observe separate mounting instructions. Connection of the conveyor piping Make sure that both pipes are of approximately the same length. The number of pipe bends shall also be the same.
8.2 Clean out valve The clean out valve is used to evacuate the conveying line after each conveying cycle. It is necessary used in case where vertical conveying line of more than 5 m difference in height are required. It is also used in connection with driers, in order to avoid pre-dried materials remain in the conveying line.
