In case the machine - or any of its component - must
be scrapped, it is necessary to adopt all the safety
measures in order to avoid any risks deriving from
the dismantling of industrial machinery.
A particular care must be taken during the following
phases:
- Disassembling of the machine from the
working area
- Transport and handling of the machine
- Dismantling of the machine
- Separation of the different materials
composing the machine.
To demolish and dismantle the machine, it is neces-
sary to observe some important rules for the safe-
guard of one’s health and of environment where we
live:
Eliminate any residue of oil and grease
from the machine; the lubricating sub-
stances must not be dispersed in the
environment, but regenerated or trea-
ted by a Company specialised in the dismantling or
such products.
In case the materials used for the productive pro-
cess or the lubricants and the condensation waters
are not eliminated according to the Laws and Regu-
lations in force, there can be other additional risks
such as:
1) Environmental pollution.
2) Intoxication of the people in charge
of the dismantling operations.
Refer to the National or Regional Laws relevant to
the elimination of industrial solid wastes and to-
xic and noxious wastes, when carrying out the
separating, recycling or dismantling operations
of the materials:
Sheaths, flexible pipes and plastic or non metallic
components, must be disassembled and disman-
tled separately; Pneumatic and electric compo-
nents such as valves, solenoid valves, pressure
regulators, switches, transformers , etc ., must be
disassembled to be used again, in case they are
still in good conditions or, if possible, overhauled
and recycled.
If there is a considerable quantity of lime formation,
use a specific descaling product for lime elimina-
tion, or a mixture of vinegar and water, procee-
ding as follows:
- wait till the machine has cooled down comple-
tely.
- open the discharge cock B to empty the boiler.
- pour a mixture of water and vinegar, or a specific
descaling product into the water reserve tank.
- fill the boiler.
- when specific descaling products are used, leave
the product to act for at least 3 hours.
When using vinegar and water, leave it for 12 hours.
Once sufficient time has passed for the products to
remove the lime, proceed as follows:
- power on the machine and then switch it off
when the gauge shows a pressure reading of 0.5
- 1 bar; this will create an internal pressure in the
boiler, sufficient to allow water and limescale to
be removed.
- open the discharge cock B to allow the contents
of the boiler to be removed.
If there is still a certain quantity of lime present repe-
at the operation until the discharged water is free
of lime deposits.
N.B: during the boiler cleaning operation, avoid
letting out steam from the pistol.
- Once the operation has been completed, close
the cock B carefully.
- Adequate and suitable maintenance operations
are a deciding factor for long machine life, correct
working conditions, top performance, and to en-
sure that all the safety systems provided by the
manufacturer function correctly.
- Maintenance, repairs and replacement opera-
tions must be performed by qualified technicians
familiar with the machine technology.
DISPOSAL (WEEE)
As owner of an electrical or electronic pro-
duct, you are not allowed by law (according
to EU-Directive 2002/96/EC of 27 January
2003 on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and the particular national laws
of the EU-Member States transforming this Directi-
ve) to dispose of this product or its electrical/elec-
tronic accessories as unsorted domestic waste. You
shall use the designated gratis possibilities for re-
turn instead.
