This user manual applies to the Kongskilde MultiAir
blower model FC 2000 series.
Description:
The Kongskilde MultiAir blower is designed for use with
pneumatic conveying systems, but is also suitable for
other industrial pneumatic solutions.
Materials may not be transported through the MultiAir
blower. Air volumes containing corrosive, adhesive or
dusty particles may not pass through the MultiAir blow-
er. For the S models, the intake temperature must not
exceed 70°C . For the T models, the intake temperature
(ambient temperature) may not exceed 50°C at the
intake of the blower.
Warning notes:
Make sure all guards are in place and properly secured
during operation.
Always disconnect power to the blower prior to repair
and maintenance. The main switch must be switched
off and locked to ensure the blower cannot be started
by mistake.
Never put your hand into the blower intake or outlet
while the blower is running.
The blower should be installed in an accessible
location for maintenance and repair.
The working area around the blower should be clear
and trip free.
Make sure to have adequate lighting when working on
the blower.
To avoid any unintentional contact with the impeller,
pipes of minimum 800 mm length, with a diameter of
maximum Ø200 mm must be installed onto the intake
and outlet connections (intake connection only relevant
for the MultiAir blower type S).
These pipes must be installed with bolt clamps, where
tools are necessary for dismantling.
In case it is not possible to use minimum 800 mm
tubes, it must be ensured that within minimum 800 mm
from the blower are bolt clamps used, where tools are
necessary for dismantling.
The reason for this is, that according to EU-directive
2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive), it is not allowed for
any unauthorized personnel to gain access to rotating
parts. In case quick clamps are used, unauthorized
personnel could dismantle the pipes, and gain access
to rotating parts.
The blower speed is fully adjustable and controlled from
the operator´s panel. In order not to overload the rotor
and motor, the blower speed can not be set higher than
what the blower is designed for. Changing the electrical
equipment in order to increase the maximum blower
speed is not allowed.
Use eye protection when working close to the air outlet
of the blower. In case of small particles in the conveyed
material, these might be blown from the air outlet of the
blower, causing eye damage.
If any abnormal vibrations or noise are observed, the
blower must be stopped immediately, and qualified as
-
sistance must be called.
Mounting:
The MultiAir blower is delivered from the factory ready
to use and needs only to be connected to the power
supply and pipes on the blower intake / outlet.
If the blower is to be moved, a forklift or similar should
be used, which lifts underneath the bottom frame. The
forks must be long enough to lift both sides of the bot-
tom frame.
Do not attach the blower to the base or building parts,
otherwise the vibration dampers under the blower will
not work.
NOTE - If the blower is subjected to vibrations from the
ground or piping, there is a risk that the blower's control
system will be damaged. Therefore pay special atten-
tion to the following:
It is important that the blower is mounted on a
vibration-free surface and that no vibrations are
transmitted to the blower via the connected pipe
system.
The blower comes with vibration dampers designed
to prevent the blower's vibrations from reaching the
ground.
If there is a risk of the blower being subjected to vi-
brations from the ground, a different type of vibration
dampers can be mounted on the blower than the origi-
nal ones. The vibration dampers will absorb oscillations
in the range of 0 - 10Hz and are designed to eliminate
external vibrations.
These vibration dampers can be purchased under part
no. 123 022 036. The set contains 4 dampers as well
as Ø160 and Ø200 flexible transitions, see below.
