Installation and commissioning
The chapter Installation and commissioning is intended for skilled personnel only.
5.1
Positioning of sample cleaner SLN 4
Unpack the sample cleaner carefully (refer to
chapter 4.4
) and place it horizontally. Use a water level
for that.
Ensure a working height of approximately 60-65 cm, depending on the size of the operating
personnel.
A correct horizontal positioning of the machine guarantees an even distribution of the
grains across the sieves.
Insert the sieves as described in
chapter 7.4.
The magnitude of dust nuisance will increase during operation:
Pfeuffer GmbH recommends placing a suction hood over the air outlet of the cyclone.
The distance between the air outlet and the suction hood must be at least 400 mm so
that the aspiration effect is not affected.
CAUTION
Dust warning
Due to the nature of the samples, increased levels of dust particles and impurities (such
as harmful mycotoxins) may emerge in the vicinity of the sample cleaner during
operation!
Check whether inhaling large quantities might lead to irritation or illnesses of the
respiratory passages, and if so then take appropriate measures.
Place a suction hood over the air outlet of the cyclone, use an enclosure or use respiratory protection.
Keep the control switch in the
OFF
position.
Insert the mains plug into a correctly-earthed socket with an earth conductor.
Check if all the components are firmly secured. Re-tighten all the screws and clamps.
The interfaces are depicted in
chapter 2.2
of these Operating Instructions.
Activate the sample cleaner keeping in mind all the specifications given in
chapter 7.
