The BERGMANN ALPHA-PACK-BIN APB 616 has been designed in order to be taken up by a roller tipper. The take-up hooks can be matched to the corresponding vehicle type as required by the respective customer.
3. Principle safety considerations List of symbols and notes The following signs for hazards are used in the operating instructions and on the machine: This symbol stands for a possible hazard for the life and health of persons. The non-observance of these instructions can result in serious effects to health and even life-threatening injuries.
3. Principle safety considerations The following pictograms have validity for machines and special equipment : Machines with a cover above the feed opening : This symbol warns that reaching into the pivoting area of the covers is prohibited. This symbol points out the danger of injury in case of improper use of the covers. Machines with a BIN-LIFT-TIP DEVICE : This symbol warns that staying in the pivoting area as well as underneath the raised lift-and-tilt device is prohibited.
It is not allowed to make any modifications, extensions or reconstructions on the machine without the prior written consent of BERGMANN. This is also valid for welding works at load bearing parts. If the machine is combined with other machines (e.g. conveyor belts, etc.), a separate risk assessment has to be created by the operator.
3. Principle safety considerations All handles, steps, railings, pedestals, platforms and ladders must be kept free of soiling, snow and ice. The safety and danger instructions on the machine have to be kept in a legible condition and must be replaced if necessary. Operation of the PACK-BIN in publicly accessible areas such as market places etc.
3. Principle safety considerations The electrical equipment of the machine must be inspected at regular intervals. Any faults such as loose connections and/or scorched cables must be cleared immediately. In the event of a defect on the electrical equipment, further operation of them machine is prohibited. That is valid until authorised expert staff confirms that all faults have been successfully eliminated.
3. Principle safety considerations Maintenance work must be carried out on the stations intended for this purpose. As far as necessary the repair area must be secured. If maintenance personnel have to access the machine through the unloading door, this door must be secured by means of an arresting cable.
3. Principle safety considerations Emergency procedure "Person trapped in the compaction chamber" If a person is trapped in the compaction chamber, proceed as follows: Actuate the EMERGENCY STOP button Pull the mains plug. Call emergency services. Clear the filling area of waste and refuse as much as possible and secure the filling area prior to any further filling.

5. Operation 3) Once the locking hooks have released the door, you can loosen the arresting cable and fully open the door (about 260°). An eyelet is welded onto the underside of the container base. In order to avoid that the door returns the rope has to be hung in there.
5. Operation Emptying the machine with a pendulum-type flap 1) When the PACK-BIN is full, it can be trans- ported by means of a roller tipper and then be emptied. To pick up the BOX, a suspension hook is attached to the front side of the machine. The suspension hook on the unloading door is only used for manoeuvring.
Page 27
5. Operation 3) Once the locks are open, the PRESS BOX can be tilted and emptied using the A receiving vehicle. 4) After emptying, the lock, the container, the door frame as well as the rubber seal (if any) must be cleaned thoroughly. For this purpose, use the pendulum flap protection device (1).
6. Electrical Circuit General Maintenance or repairs on the electrical supply system may only be carried out by a qualified electrician with corresponding know-how. On this occasion the machine must be disconnected from the mains and be secured against reclosure. The wiring diagram for this machine can be found in the switch cabinet.
6. Electrical Circuit The temperature in the control cabinet should not exceed +60°C or go below -10°C. Where there are considerable minus temperatures, a heating element must be installed in the control cabinet (contact manufacturer with requirements). The motor overload protection The motor protection switch (1) is an electronic component which switches off the machine auto- matically in case of motor overload.
6. Electrical Circuit The electrical control In the switch cabinet there is a special control which determines the working sequence of your machine. If the PACK-BIN is started by means of the ON button the machine compacts until the running time has ended.
6. Electrical Circuit The working hour counter There is a counter (1) in the switch cabinet indicating the performed working hours. This is connected to the master contactor of the machine and is activated together with the electric motor. The isolator Next to the connector plug there is the main switch.
6. Electrical Circuit Switch mechanism for container opening An oil-pressure switch for the limit stop of the compaction piston is screwed into the hydraulic valve. This oil-pressure switch causes the piston to remain in the top position of the compaction room when the machine is switched off.

7. The additional equipment While tilting the container, the cone of the swinging lid must reach into the swinging lid opener and open him. Due to tolerance deviations of different manufacturers, the swinging lid opener can be adjusted for a correct function by lengthening or shortening the chain (1) with the help of the screws.
7. The additional equipment The remote control Additionally, the machine can only be operated by means of a remote control (1). That is possible as soon as the remote control is connected. Proceed as follows: 1) Open the lid of the lower housing (2). This device is located at the side of the machine.
7. The additional equipment The hydraulic lid opener hydraulic lid opener If required, the cover over the compaction chamber can be hydraulically opened and closed. You find the operating keypad at the front or lateral part at the machine. The hook can only be moved when the compacting process was started.
7. The additional equipment The electric lid opener electric lid opener If required, the cover over the compaction chamber can be hydraulically opened and closed. The operation is carried out via an addi- tional keypad. The lid opener is ready for us when both EMERGENCY STOP buttons are unlocked.
The customer has to provide a SIM card. Programming of the call number and/or text messages are carried out online via the BERGMANN GSM module programming. You will find more information on our website: www.bergmann-online.com (service).
7. The additional equipment 7.12 The RESET button If your machine is equipped with safety limit switches (e.g. on service doors, etc.), it must also be equipped with a RESET button. For safety reasons, the button must be pressed as soon as the mains plug is pulled, the EMERGENCY STOP button is actuated or the safety limit switch is triggered.
8. The Hydraulic Power Pack General The heart of the BERGMANN PACK-BIN is the hydraulic power pack. It mainly consists of a valve block, an oil filter as well as an electric motor with oil pump. The oil pump, an ecologically friendly and quiet gear pump, conveys oil from the tank into the hydraulic system.
8. The Hydraulic Power Pack Oil change on the hydraulic power pack Only personnel with special know-how and experience of hydraulics may work on the hydraulic system. Prior to the oil change the hydraulic cylinders must be driven in completely, i.e. the compacting piston must be at the top.
Page 49
8. The Hydraulic Power Pack 3) Unscrew the filter cap and remove the filter element. Fill with 77 litres of hydraulic oil. You can read the oil level by referring to the adhesive label which is located on the right of the front of the compacting part. If 77 litres are filled up the oil should be just below the MAXIMUM mark.
