The granulator can be optionally equip-
ped with one or several paddle monitors.
The paddle monitor is a level monitor
which senses the granule level in the
granule bin or outlet pipe stub.
The paddle monitor senses and stops the
granulator, or the granulator feed equipment,
such as the band conveyor, roll feed etc. when the level in the granule bin/outlet
pipe stub rises too high.
The paddle monitor stops and re-starts the granulator or the optional feed equip-
ment without needing to be re-set.
Setting the paddle monitor sensitivity
The sensitivity of the paddle monitor is adjustable.
• Open, remove the textile tape and unscrew the cover over the microswitches in
the paddle monitor.
• Adjust the position of the torsion spring.
Use a needle-nosed pliers to change the spring position.
The normal setting of the torsion spring is the 2nd hole from the left.
Reducing the paddle monitor sensitivity:
(The paddle monitor breaks the connection more slowly)
– Turn the torsion spring to the left.
Increasing the paddle monitor sensitivity:
(The paddle monitor breaks the connection more quickly)
– Turn the torsion spring to the right.
• Fit and tighten the cover over the paddle monitor microswitches.
NOTE:
Then lock the cover using textile tape.
NOTE:
The paddle monitor
must never be used as handle
during opening or emptying of
the granule bin.
Seriously risk of electrical
burn injuries!
