Installation and Operating Instructions
Grinder – 10000 Open Channel Series
SULZER CONFIDENTIAL
ATEX Warning Statements
1.
Where a grinder is to be installed in a potentially explosive atmosphere ensure that this has been
specified at the time of purchase and that the equipment has been supplied accordingly and displays an
ATEX nameplate or is supplied with a certificate of conformity. If there is any doubt as to the suitability of
the equipment please contact Sulzer before commencing with installation and commissioning.
2.
Process liquids or fluids must be kept within -20°C – 40°C, otherwise the surface of grinder or system
components may become an ignition source due to temperature rises. Where the process liquid
temperature is less than 90 ºC the maximum surface temperature will not exceed 90 ºC provided the
grinder is installed, operated and maintained in accordance with this manual.
3.
Cavities that could allow the accumulation of explosive gases have been designed out of the system.
However, any accumulation of gases or material should be fully purged before any work is carried out on
the grinder or system. The grinder should not be operated without liquid influent and no ignition sources
to be present.
4.
Electrical installation and maintenance work should only be carried out by suitably qualified and
competent persons and must be in accordance with relevant electrical regulations.
5.
If there is a risk of an accumulation of explosive gases or dust, proper ventilation must be performed,
removing all gases and dust.
6.
When fitting drives, couplings, and guards to a grinder unit it is essential that these are correctly fitted,
aligned and adjusted in accordance with the installation instructions. Failure to do so may result in
sparking due to unintended mechanical contact, or temperature rises due to mechanical or electrical
overload.
7.
Failure to operate or maintain the grinder and ancillary equipment in line with the manufacturer’s
instructions may lead to premature and potentially dangerous failure of components. Regular inspection,
and where necessary, replacement of bearings, seals, other wearing parts and lubrication is essential.
8.
The grinder and its components have been designed to ensure safe operation within the guidelines
covered by legislation. Accordingly, Sulzer has declared the machine safe to use for the duty specified as
defined by the Declaration of Conformity that is issued with this instruction manual and the conditions as
specified in the Limitation of Use. The use of replacement parts that are not manufactured by or approved
by Sulzer may affect the safe operation of the grinder and it may therefore become a safety hazard to
both operators and other equipment. In these circumstances the Declaration provided will become invalid.
The guarantee referenced on the Terms and Conditions of Sale will also be invalidated.
