11.
Ensure the LBC direction of rotation is correct according indications reported.
12.
The LBC must be installed beneath hoppers sufficiently deep so as to prevent reaching of the moving parts
with the limbs.
13.
It is forbidden to operate the device with the inlet and outlet spouts completely or partially disconnected.
14.
It is forbidden to start-up de device unless the plant in which it it to be installed has been declared compliant
with the provisions of Directive 2006/42/CE. The plant fitter/installer is in charge with providing and install
-
ing the devices/protections necessary to avoid damage to persons and things in case of brake-downs.
WAMGROUP
®
provides some of the actuators mentioned above; their assembly is in charge of the customer.
The customer is liable in case of the installation of any actuator different from those mentioned above. The
customer has to perform a mechanical analysis necessary to ensure an efficient use.
Do not fit heavy devices to the Lump Breaking Feeder Valve (screw feeders, belt conveyors, vibrating feeders,
bin activators or similar).
The devices for food applications must be subjected to suitable decontamination and sanitation.
A drive output of ≤ 0,75 kW is suggested.
INSTALLATION IN CLOSED SYSTEM
• The inlet and outlet are fitted directly to the upstream and downstream device in such a way that the con
-
nections can only be released with the aid of tools.
Openings at upstream and downstream devices, through which it is possible to reach the danger zone (safety
distances in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13857) must be closed off in such a way that they can only be
opened with the aid of tools (isolating safety device DIN EN ISO 14120).
- Manual intervention in the closed system is not possible during operation.
CONNECTION TO AN OPEN SYSTEM
• The inlet is fitted directly to the upstream and downstream device in such a way that the connection can only
be released with the aid of tools.
In addition, attached devices with openings that enable access to the danger zone must be designed in such
a way that the safety distances in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13857 are maintained (safety distances to
prevent reaching danger areas with the upper and lower limbs).
or
• Inlet and outlet are accessible without the use of tools. An isolating safety device with interlock facility (DIN
EN ISO 14119) is equipped with safety switches and must be secured in accordance with DIN EN ISO
13849-1. PLr must at least be reached. This also applies to isolating safety devices with interlock function
on upstream or downstream devices, through which it is possible to reach the danger zone (safety distances
in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13857).
