General Purpose GHH RAND build and supply the compressor unit with motor SILU CG600 ready for operation. These units are used to handle bulk material pneumatically owing to their ability to compress atmospheric air free of oil. They can either be installed in a stationary unit or mounted on silo-type trucks.
Installation procedure In addition to the general technical operating instructions per the regulations of the local authorities, special attention is drawn to the following guidelines: - Use a suitable hoist which fulfills the local safety regulations for handling of the compressor unit. Securely fasten all loose or swinging parts prior to handling.
Operation manual The mounting area of the vibration dampers can be between 316 mm and 600 mmm from the centre line on each side. The position of the vibration dampers must be symmetrical to the centre line.
Installation procedure – vibration dampers After defining the mounting positions of the vibration dampers in the supporting frame, cut a hole of 60 mm diameter in each vibration damper by means of a hole saw. (please see drawing) Vibration damper...
Safety General These operating instructions provide important information which must be observed during operation and maintenance. The skilled personnel / operator / user therefore is required to read these operating instructions before commissioning. Furthermore, the instructions must be at hand where the machine is used at all times.
Commissioning 3.1 Set-up Mount the compressor unit in horizontal position, if possible. If the unit is not mounted horizontally, please observe the specified limit values. Important !! Maximum permissible angles of tilt during operation: forward and backward: 10° to the right and left: 10° Electrical connection: The standard electrical connection is realized by means of a junction box with feeder clamps.
3.3 Controls – Operating elements and monitoring gauges List / Designation: - Start button (I) green - Stop button (0) red - Phase switch – Position 1-0-2 - Operation control lamp (white) - Phase switch lamp (red) - Oil pressure gauge compressor - Maintenance indicator of compressor air filter Start Starting the motor / compressor...
Stop/Shut-down Shut-down motor / compressor - Relieve compressor discharge pipe - Press stop button “red” - Wait for shut-down - Turn rotary switch to position “0” Allowable operating time - Maximum running time of the compressor without oil cooler: 3 hours followed by a 1-hour cool-down time. - Continuous duty of the compressor is only possible with oil cooler which can be supplied as an option.
3.7 Compressor monitoring during operation Oil pressure gauge The oil pressure is indicated on the oil pressure gauge. The oil pressure must not drop below 0.3 bar. Important !! If the oil pressure does not build up within a short period of time, switch off the motor / compressor.
Maintenance / Service Maintenance intervals of motor / compressor Important!! In case of compressor units with V-belt drive, retension the V-belts and the quick-lock taper bushes of the V-belt pulleys and retighten the fastening screws of the discharge silecner with a torque of 65 Nm after the first two hours of operation.
Motor / V-belt drive Tension the V-belts using the tensioning screw and a measuring device in line with the instructions of the V-belt manufacturer. Fixing screw Tensioning screw V-belt protection In order to change or retension the V-belts, remove the V-belt protection to be able to check the V-belt tension.
Malfunctions / Remedies Compressor Malfunction Possible cause Remedy Oil pressure Drive speed too low Check drive speed below 0.3 bar at Oil strainer soiled Clean oil strainer operating Wrong oil grade Replace oil temperature Oil level too low Top up oil Oil pressure Oil level too low Top up oil...
