Design and function Design and function Description of the Component Assem‐ blies Three-chamber reservoir The PP reservoir is divided into three separate chambers, so that a sufficient maturing time for the polymer solution can be ensured. The division of the reservoir largely prevents the matured and freshly prepared solution from mixing and ensures continuous dis‐...
Design and function A loosening wheel is fitted directly about the feeder screw for the continuous discharge of the powdered polymer. A metering pipe heating unit also removes any penetrated moisture and thus pre‐ vents any caking of the powdered polymer. Agitators The Ultromat is fitted with two electrical agitators as standard.
Design and function 5.8.4 Discharge pipework The discharge pipework serves to combine the 3 reservoir outlets. This enables the Ultromat ® to be emptied and its contents to be fed into a drain.
Assembly and Installation Assembly and Installation The system is fully pre-assembled ex works. The cabling between the terminal box and the electrical power units is fully installed. Assembly WARNING! High fill weight in the system Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries. Ensure that the position of the system can bear the weight of the system when full.
Assembly and Installation Installation - Electrical WARNING! Danger of electric shock! Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries – The electrical installation may only be performed by a qualified electrician – Always disconnect the system from the mains power supply and prevent it from being re-con‐ nected before undertaking any installation work in the electrical connections –...
Controller Controller The Ultromat AF and ATF are not equipped with a controller. The ® controller is to be provided by the operator. Terminal boxes AF/ATF The following electrical devices are assigned to terminals in the ter‐ minal boxes: Terminal boxes Agitator 1, 400 VAC Agitator 2, 400 VAC Agitator 3, 400 VAC...
Commissioning Commissioning Assembly, Preparatory Work CAUTION! Initial commissioning Possible material damage – It is essential that the mechanical and electrical connections are checked to ensure that they are correct prior to initial commissioning – Ensure that the voltage, frequency and current type applied in the terminal box matches the data on the specification label –...
Commissioning Calibrating the Dry Material Feeder Required material: Weighing scales PE bag (capacity min. 500 g) Calibration Loosen the screw couplings to dismantle the flush fitting. Hold the PE bag (capacity min. 500 g) under the metering pipe and fill for 1 minute. ð...

Commissioning CAUTION! Monitor the operation of the system in the start-up phase! – Monitor in particular the correct switching operation of the level sensor when they first reach their respective switching points! Prerequisites: Correct and proper assembly and installation of the system has been checked.
Operation of the System Operation of the System Prerequisites for Correct and Proper Operation NOTICE! Instructed personnel – The system may only be operated by instructed personnel! Prerequisites: Correct setting of the operating parameters. Feeding the Dry Material Feeder with Powdered Polymer (ATF) CAUTION! Danger of slipping! Mixtures of polymer and water are slippery!
Operation of the System Disposal NOTICE! Regulations – Please observe the currently applicable local regu‐ lations (specifically with regard to electronic waste) – Please also read the operating instructions for the other equipment (dry material feeder, pumps ...) For Germany: The cleaned used parts can be disposed of at municipal waste collection points.
Incorrect Operation of the System Incorrect Operation of the System The incorrect position of the discharge valves can result in mal‐ function The incorrect position of the shut-off valves in the water supply line can result in malfunction Unauthorised persons must be prevented from entering or changing operating parameters The maximum viscosity of 1500 mPas may not be exceeded when setting the concentration on the external control...
11.1 Unspecified Malfunctions Should a problem occur, which is not included in this list or should a listed fault not be remedied by the suggested troubleshooting measures, please contact ProMinent Customer Services without delay. 11.2 Sensors It should first be considered with every fault analysis that a capaci‐...
Maintenance Maintenance The following components have to be maintained regularly. The intervals should be based on operating conditions. 12.1 Dry Material Feeder Inspect the dry material feeder Check the dry material feeder regularly during operation to ensure that it is working correctly Check whether the powdered polymer is being metered cor‐...
