Before start-up
WARNING!
Prior to each time you start work, the operability of the
pressure relief unit
of the silo / container must be checked.
SILOMAT systems for free-fall silos may only be connected to
unpressurized
silos / containers. The
dust removal lines
of the silo /
container must be open und unclogged.
To avoid there being
condensation water
in the system, prior to starting work:
¾
Disconnect the air hose from the compressor at the conveying container.
¾
Switch on the compressor; in doing so, observe the direction of rotation.
¾
Air must escape at the fast coupling (remove rubber hose). If the direction of rotation is incorrect,
turn the main reversing switch to the zero position.
¾
Push the direction plate to the opposite side and set the main switch to the other direction. You
have now changed the direction of rotation.
¾
Let it run approx. 5-10 minutes.
¾
While this is happening, kink the hose several times, relieving it again after a short pressure
build-up.
¾
Repeat the procedure until no more water spray emerges from the hose.
¾
Switch off the system using the red pressure switch “OFF”.
