Protection against humidity
If a dry storage space is not available, protect the machine as follows against humidity:
● Wrap the machine in humidity-absorbent material.
● Wrap the machine in plastic film:
– Place a humidity meter inside the plastic film.
– Place desiccant within the plastic film.
– Pack the machine air-tight.
● Inspect the machine regularly.
● Store the machines in a dry, dust-free room where the temperature is controlled. Special
packing is therefore not necessary. In all other cases, pack the machines in a plastic film
with a substance that absorbs moisture, e.g. Branogel, or in hermetically sealed welded
foil. Use a protective cover to protect against sun and rain.
● Store the machines only in vibration-free rooms in order to avoid consequential damage to
the bearings due to vibration at standstill.
The materials used are specially designed for the temperature range required by the customer.
The relevant temperature limits are specified on the rating plate.
WARNING
Risk of explosion due to damaged sealing materials
Storing the machine at temperatures that do not fall within the specified limits can damage
the material of the seals and cause them to fail. As a result, a potentially explosive gaseous
atmosphere can enter the machine and be ignited during commissioning. Explosions can
occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Do not store the machine in conditions that lie outside the specified temperature limits.
4.13.9 Storing machines together with the driven machine
● Before mounting the machines, grease the free parts of the shaft extension, as well as all
other bare metal parts, such as mounting foot surfaces, flange surfaces, terminal box and
cover contact surfaces. Attach caps filled with roller bearing grease to the shaft output gland
to provide protection against dust and humidity.
● Fill the terminal boxes of the machines with a substance that will absorb moisture, e.g.
Branogel.
● Store the machines in a dry, dust-free room where the temperature is controlled.
