SPECIAL CONDITIONS The rotary feeder type RPGG 20x50-EX is designed for transporting combustible USES - ATEX industrial dusts, except for metal dusts with the parameters specified in chapter 2 TECHNICAL INFORMATION. - Design pressure of rotary feeder type RPGG 20x50-EX: 1 Bar.
4 ǀ INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING WORKING To maintain proper operation of the feeder, the following environment must be ENVIRONMENT provided: - altitude up to 2 000 m - relative humidity in the workplace 20-80 % without condensation - ambient temperature -20 °C to +40 °C - explosion-free working environment around the rotary feeder OPERATIONAL When selecting the installation location, take into account the dimensions of the...
CONNECTION Before connecting to the mains, check that the mains supply has the correct TO THE parameters to ensure the rotary feeder's performance. Check that the mains ELECTRICAL voltage and frequency corresponds to the information on the electric motor's label. NETWORK Ensure that the supply cable is not live.
5 ǀ MAINTENANCE Always turn off the rotary feeder first and allow the hot surfaces to cool before performing any maintenance or inspection. We also recommend securing the feeder against unexpected start-up. If the rotary feeder discharges hazardous substances, always use appropriate personal protective equipment according to the nature of the hazardous substance.

Check the coupling between the gearbox and the rotary feeder. - Check by looking through the holes in the clutch cover. The clutch cover must not show signs of deformation. Check and lubricate the gearbox - Follow the instructions in the separate instructions provided by the manufacturer and which is included in the delivery.
ANNUALLY: Check the tightening of the connecting screws and the tightness of the rotary feeder with the flanges of your transport technology. - Tighten all fixing screws. In case of leaks in the connection flanges, the screws must be unscrewed, the defective gasket (4) replaced and the flanges screwed back together.
REPLACEMEN If any of the sealing vanes are damaged or if the minimum radial or axial overlap of T OF SEALING the sealing vane is measured (see chapter 2 TECHNICAL INFORMATION), replace it BLADES as follows: 1 Remove the clutch cover. 2 Remove the gearbox and engine.
6 Remove the screws of the damaged seal blade and remove the blade. 7 Insert the new blade and attach it with screws. Note the correct direction of rotation (r) and the clearance (v = 0 mm) between the housing and the blade. 8 The assembly procedure is the reverse of the disassembly procedure up to point Improper installation of the seal blade affects the tightness of the rotary feeder and the Torque value.
LIFE Due to the nature of the working conditions, which vary for each application, it is it is possible to generally determine the lifetime of a rotary feeder. The following list indicates the expected minimum lifetime of selected components in operating hours for single-shift operation: Parts subject to abrasion......2 000 to 4 000 h Rotating parts..........approximately 4 000 h...
DEMONTAGE AND When disassembling the device, follow the steps opposite to those described i n LIKVIDATION t h e INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT chapter. Due to the nature of the working conditions, which vary from application to application, it is not possible to determine the service life of a rotary feeder in general.
