Maintain good piping practices (see below). CLEANING SIP PROCESS FCM Colloid Mills should only be used for SIP (Sterilization In Place) process with the prior approval of Fristam. Suitability may depend on selected elastomers and/or process temperatures. CIP PROCESS FCM Colloid Mills are suitable for the CIP (Cleaning In Place) process. The following is a general example of the CIP process: •... -
Page 8: Installation
PIPING CAUTION: Because the FCM Mill is highly efficient, the user needs to ensure that the mill will not be over-pressurized during operation as this can cause severe damage to the mill. (Over-pressurization can occur if a valve is closed on the discharge and the mill continues to run beyond its maximum pressure rating.) The mill warranty is void for damage caused by over-pressurization. - Page 9 FCM Colloid Mill • Avoid sump areas where sediment may FIGURE 3 collect (figure 3). • Use a check or “foot” valve on the inlet side of the mill in lift applications to keep the suction piping flooded. • Avoid throttling valves in the suction piping.
- Page 10 FCM Colloid Mill ALIGNMENT In most cases, the mill will be shipped with a drive unit mounted on a baseplate. The drive and mill are aligned at the factory; however, this alignment should be checked after installation (Figure 7). Misalignment between the mill and drive can result in premature bearing failure or other damage. If the mill is not shipped with a drive unit, use a flexible coupling between the mill and drive unit.
- Page 11 FCM Colloid Mill ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Have an electrician connect the drive motor using sound electrical practices. Ensure that proper motor overload protection is provided. The size of the drive selected should meet the requirements of the operating conditions. A change in conditions (for example, higher viscosity product, higher differential pressure can overload the motor.
