General 1 General Application GHH RAND builds and delivers the CS90 screw compressor and the CS580/750 LITE compressor kit, a kit for installation on silo vehicles for the connection‑ready unit (compressor unit). Because of their oil‑free compression of atmospheric air and their power‑to‑weight ratio for installation on silo vehicles, the compressor unit is used to pneumatically convey bulk goods, such as flour, sugar, salt, animal feed, powdered chemicals, dry granulate, soda, cement, sand, lime, plaster, etc.

General Operating the compressor at high altitudes If operating the compressor at high altitudes, make sure that, depending on the existing ambient pres‑ sure, the operating overpressure must be reduced in order to prevent temperature damage to the com‑ pressor. This should be carried out in accordance with the following table: Installation height h [m] 1000...
General 1.10 Screw compressor type plate The type plate is attached to the side of the screw compressor. It contains the following information: · Type · Serial number · Rotational speed range · Max. volume flow · At max. operating pressure ·...
Safety 2 Safety General This operating manual contains basic instructions to be followed during operation and maintenance/ repair. Therefore, this operating manual must be read by the responsible technical staff/operator prior to commissioning and it must always be available at the place of use for the screw compressor. Authorised personnel, training and qualification Work carried out on the compressor, such as operation and maintenance/repair, must only be carried out by persons with the appropriate authorisation, training and qualifications, who are familiar with the...
Safety Unauthorised conversions and spare parts Conversions and modifications to the screw compressor and screw compressor unit are not permitted. Damage to the seal will void any warranty claims. Original replacement parts and accessories that are authorised by the manufacturer represent safety factors. The use of non‑original or unauthorised re‑ placement and accessory parts may void the liability for resulting consequences.
Operation 3 Operation Safety during operation NOTE Also observe the safety instructions in chapter 2 on page 12. DANGER RISK OF EXPLOSION! For the conveyance of combustible, dust‑like materials, the temperature of the compressed air at the measurement point directly before contact with the material to be conveyed may not exceed the maximum value of 120°C.
Operation Installation ‣ Park the vehicle in as level a position as possible. ‣ Observe the permitted inclination. Permitted inclination NOTICE INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION! Excessive inclination results in irregular level of lubricant in the housing. ‣ Observe the maximum permitted inclination of the screw compressor during operation: ·...
Operation Monitoring operation 3.5.1 CS90/external installation The manufacturer installs a gauge (measurement position in the following pipeline) pneumatic system to monitor the compression pressure. The system manufacturer or external installer must also install displays that monitor the intake negative pressure and the oil pressure of the compressor stage. For the operation and control of the operating displays, only the instructions from the manufacturer are appli‑...
Page 17
Operation Maintenance indicator variant 1 The negative pressure in the compressor is displayed on the maintenance indicator (1). The negative pressure must not exceed 65 mbar (red area on the maintenance indicator). NOTICE PERMITTED NEGATIVE PRESSURE EXCEEDED! Excessive negative pressure (> 65 mbar) can result in overheating and damage to the com‑ pressor.
Operation External oil cooler for compressor (optional) To ensure that the compressor has an optimum service life even under extreme conditions, an external oil cooler can be connected as an option. Function control of external oil cooler fan A sheet of paper held in front of the radiator of a running fan must be sucked towards it. NOTICE DAMAGE TO THE COMPRESSOR! The compressor can be damaged if the fan is defective.
Maintenance/repair 4 Maintenance/repair Safety NOTE Also observe the safety instructions in chapter 2 on page 12. WARNING COMPRESSED AIR IN THE SYSTEM! There is a risk of injury due to pressurized components and lines. ‣ All checks and maintenance tasks must only be performed with the compressor switched off and depressurised.
Maintenance/repair Maintenance Intervals All of the maintenance and repair tasks given on this page are described in detail in the following chap- ter 4.4 on page 20. After the first 2 operating hours Section 4.4.1 Re‑tighten the fastening screws on the discharge silencer. Visually inspect the oil cooler and the lines to/from the oil cooler and compressor for leaks.
Maintenance/repair ‣ Retighten fastening screws (4) of the holder (3) between the discharge silencer (2) and the com‑ pressor housing (5). Tightening torque (M10 A2-70): 37 Nm 4.4.2 Checking the oil cooler and compressor for leaks ‣ Visually inspect the oil cooler (2) and compressor housing (1) for leaks.
Maintenance/repair 4.4.3 Checking the oil level ‣ Check that the oil reaches the oil inspection glass (2). ‣ Correct the oil level as needed. If the oil level is too high (oil inspection glass is completely full): ‣ Unscrew and remove the locking screw (1) from the compressor housing.
Maintenance/repair 4.4.4 Cleaning and replacing the intake filter element For the maintenance or replacement of the intake filter of a compressor unit based on the CS90 com‑ pressor stage (third‑party manufacturer), only the instructions from the manufacturer are applicable. NOTE Intake filters from diverse manufacturers can be installed.
Maintenance/repair ‣ Press the dust release valve at the bottom of the air filter housing so that the collected dust/dirt falls out. ‣ Reassemble the parts in reverse order. 4.4.5 Check the safety valve The safety valve is usually installed on the discharge silencer.
Maintenance/repair 4.4.6 Check the non-return valve For the maintenance or replacement of the non-return valves of a compressor unit based on the CS90 compressor stage (third‑party manufacturer), only the instructions from the manufacturer are applicable. NOTE Non‑return valves from diverse manufacturers can be installed. Also observe the instructions from the manufacturer.
Maintenance/repair 4.4.8 Oil change and cleaning the oil intake strainer CAUTION ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION THROUGH OIL! Very small quantities of oil are sufficient to make significant amounts of potable water unusable. ‣ During the oil change, make sure that no oil is released into the environment. ‣...
Maintenance/repair 4.4.9 Replacing the overload coupling shear bolts NOTE Before installing new shear bolts, determine the cause of the shearing, see chapter 5 on page 28. Check the compressor for freedom of movement by turning the drive shaft. The shear bolts (2) of the overload coupling ((3) optional) can shear off if the torque is too high and they must be replaced as follows: ‣...
