During assembly, it is important to differentiate between the following process connection versions:
–
Clamp connection (clamp connections for stainless steel pipes)
The size and version of the clamp gasket on the process connection [PC] is determined by the clamp
connection on the container.
–
Welded connection
–
Connection using combination adapter C3 and combination vessel connector C3

5.2.3.1
Installation of the Device with Process Connection: Clamp
The sealing points are the crucial part of the clamp connection and have been manufactured
and packed by AWH with the utmost care and precision.
When handling the clamp connection, the sealing elements can very easily suffer damage.
Protect sealing elements from damage and contamination during transportation, storage,
assembly and cleaning!
The gasket and bracket for the process connection and media connection are not supplied; they
are available on request from AWH.
1. Take the retractor system out of the packaging and perform a visual inspection for damage.
2. Install the retractor system on the vessel connector with an appropriate gasket and bracket.
3. Cleaning medium supply (standard: Clamp DN25 in accordance with DIN 32676) on the media
connection (hydraulic pipe) with suitable gasket and clamp.
5.2.3.2
Installation of the Device with Process Connection: Welding Joint
The gasket and bracket for the medium connection are not supplied; they are available on
request from AWH.
1. Take the retractor system out of the packaging and perform a visual inspection for damage.
2. Installation status
Before welding, remove the hydraulic pipe by removing the bracket that connects the pneumatic
cylinder and the hydraulic pipe.
Pull the pneumatic cylinder out of the back of the hydraulic pipe.
Ensure that the piston rod remains connected to the centering adapter and the spray head to the
pneumatic cylinder.
3. Preparing for welding
Clean all parts to be welded before assembly
Welding distortion must be avoided by choosing suitable welding parameters.
