4.3 CA L IB RA TION OF WEIGHING HOPPERS

Foreword
The weighing hoppers are approved for use for the dosing of components on Le Officine
Riunite - Udine S.p.A cement-mixing plants
Under no circumstances is the user authorized to tamper with the apparatus, for any failure
found, contact you local Le Officine Riunite - Udine S.p.A Service center
Only expressly authorized and qualified personnel can strip down and intervene on the wei-
ghing unit, the guarantee otherwise being invalidated and the weighing unit's official legal sta-
tus being revoked.
When the plant is used in work conducted with third parties, the end user shall be responsib-
le for making the relative reports and periodic verifications required by law.
Permitted use and legal obligations

It is forbidden to use this weighing hopper for uses other than the preparation of concrete.
Parts may not be taker from this weighing hopper and used to build or repair other weighing
units.
Use of the weighing hopper in connection with third parties is permitted, subject to the local
provincial Metrology Office, being duly informed of its use and the instrument being subjected
to the metrological verifications as required by low.
Description of the weighing apparatus

Each weighing unit consists of a welded steel hopper, suspended from a system of load cells
which transfer the weight value of the material loaded in the hopper.
Weighing is performed fully automatically, both the loading and unloading being effected with
servo drive transfer mechanisms.
The load cells are traction type or flexion type
Testing, delivery and installation

All the weighing units are thoroughly tested and inspected by Le Officine Riunite - Udine
S.p.A. before leaving the factory, guaranteeing that they are assembled correctly and that
there are no defective components.
However, a number of precautions must be taken during shipping because the instrument-
contains electronic parts that are sensitive to humidity and strong impacts.
Calibration of the weighing unit has been performed in the factory, but technical staff by the
installation must still run a weighing test to check proper operation and resetting of the instru-
ment, destined to reveal if any accidental damage or changes have occurred to the settings
of the suspension systems and levers during shipment.
Switching on and off

The electronic instrument is switched on and off by way of the machine main switch located
on the electric control panel.
In cases of emergency stopping of the plant, the instrument continues to be powered, retai-
ning all the weight measurements it has made
40/98
USE 4.
Operation and use

By pressing the key on the management unit, the operator sets the desired amounts of ma-
terials (aggregates and cement and eventually water).
When a weighing cycle starts, the loading system starts transporting the selected material to
the weighing hopper.
As the weight increases, the load cell varies the feedback signal to the instrument which is
used, after it is picked up and posted on the display, as a value to be compared with the pre-
setted weights in the formula.
When the two compared signals are equal, the instrument sends an output signal (ON-OFF)
to the control unit of the system for the loading of materials which stops the motor or the so-
lenoid valves and acts as the enable signal that loading has taken place before moving on to
the next component set.
Weighing operations
The visualized values on the instrument correspond to the set weight in kg, the weighing pre-
cision corresponds in all cases to that indicated on the weighing instrument.
When the hopper is discharged, the display should read: (0000).
Maintenance
Maintenance work or repairs must only be conducted by specialist technicians and only with
the electric panel disconnected from the power supply mains.
It is extremely important for proper operation of the weighing unit that the system is kept in
perfect condition and perfectly clean from aggregates or concrete residues, in particular the
seats of the knives must be inspected periodically and kept clean.
It is good practice to check periodically the precision of the weighing system, using known
weights that each user can prepare by using the plant itself to measure them after the first
installation or following inspection performed by Le Officine Riunite - Udine S.p.A. personnel
using standard weights.

SECURITY VA L VE ON THE SIL O
For a correct function of the filter it is necessary to install a safety valve, so to unload an
eventual overpressure and/or depression that could be created inside the silo.
If the valve is used in presence of corrosive and /or Springs

adhesive powders and in case of non compliance with
the maintenance, the company LE ORU declines any
responsibility for malfunction and damage on things and
people.
The valve is calibrated at a maximum pressure of 800

mm H2O (A A =52 mm) and at a depression of 20 mm H2O
B =65 mm).
(B
The loading pressure of the silo must not exceed 0,9
Bar.
Stub welded to the silo Membrane

MA INTENA NCE
Weekly check the presence of powders in the area around the valve, lift the cover to remove
eventual incrustation, verify that the movement of the two membranes and of the spring are
smooth and free.
Yearly make the complete revision of the valve and accurately clean all elements with
substitution of the membranes and if necessary of the springs.
All 2 Years the springs must be replaced.

The motor vibrator is installed on the side of the discharge hopper.

During the initial period of operation and every month of operation afterward, check that the
bolts are fully tightened.
An imperfectly fastened vibrator, or the entry of the vibrating mass into the resonance
frequency, with the request for more power, increase the working temperature of the motor,
with an accompanying decrease in the efficiency of the vibrator and possible damages.

Adjusting the vibration intensity

The vibration intensity can be regulated by changing the position of the eccentric masses as
required. The maximum vibration intensity is obtained when the adjustable masses are
perfectly aligned with the fixed masses (figure 1/A).
The operations to carry out to adjust the masses are as follows:
- loosen the nut (2) shown in fig. 1/A and shift the mobile mass (3) to the desired position
(fig. 1/B);
- insert the notches of the adjustable masses into the spaces of the fixed masses (1) and
tighten the nut (2);
- repeat the same operations at the other shaft end.

Operation
The operation of the electrocompressor is automatically controlled by the pressure switch,
which cuts off power to the motor when the air pressure in the tank reaches the maximum
preset value and resets it when pressure drops below the minimum level.
A safety valve, calibrated to a pressure slightly higher than the maximum set value, cuts in
in case of faulty operation of the pressure switch.
For a regular operation of the pneumatic system, the operating pressure must be set to 7-8
bar; if the tank pressure drops to 4 - 4,5 bar, the electrocompressor will pump more air into
the circuit.

The CONVEYOR BELT is not an independent machine, but requires to be integrated with
suitable drive and control machines and devices.
The conveyor belt consists basically of a metal structure with a roller at each end; at least
one of the rollers is powered. A rubber belt connects the two end rollers.
Depending on the type of construction, the following types of conveyor belts are provided:
Fi x ed au x i l i ar y c o n v ey o r b el t (NF)
The conveyor belt is installed in a very precise position, depending on their expected use.
This position is fixed.
Sw i n g c o n v ey o r b el t (NB )
One end of the conveyor belt is in a fixed position but allows the conveyor belt to be swung
by means of appropriate support and moving means.
Rev er s i b l e c o n v ey o r b el t (NR)
The conveyor belt is installed in a fixed position and has the possibility of allowing the belt
to be run in both directions.
Tr an s l at i n g r ev er s i b l e c o n v ey o r b el t (NRT)
The conveyor belt is installed on two rails on which it can move to change its position. The
belt can be run in both directions
Rotating reversible conveyor belt (NRR)
The conveyor belt is installed in a central position on the aggregate bins and rotates around
its own axle, thus moving during the discharge phase; the belt can run in both directions.
Ex t r ac t i o n c o n v ey o r b el t
This conveyor belt charges the aggregate from the holding hoppers to the weigh hopper
65/98
1.3 SA FETY DEVICES
Depending on the expected installation, this conveyor belt is equipped with the following
safety devices:
" St r et c h ed s af et y c o r d " d ev i c e
This stretched safety cord, strung over the whole length of the
conveyor belt on both sides, stops the conveyor belt in case of
emergency.
The cord is used when the operator can have access to the
whole length of the conveyor belt.
Pu l l ey g u ar d
When the conveyor belt is driven through a system of V-belts and swing reduction unit, a fi-
xed guard which prevents access to the hazardous area is used.
Pr o t ec t i o n g r i l l
The protection grill is a fixed guard which prevents access to the hazardous area of the con-
veyor belt.
The grill is used when the area to separate is relatively small and easily accessible to the
operator.
Ro l l er g u ar d
This fixed protection is used to prevent access to the conveyor belt roller.
Sm al l r o l l er g u ar d
This fixed guard is used to prevent
access to the small rollers of the con-
veyor belt.
Inoltre vanno applicati cartelli di

2.1 USE OF EQUIPMENT

In the case of one or more conveyor belts, they are normally operated in sequence (in
cascade), with the conveyor belt nearest to the operator started first, followed by the others.
The same logic, in reverse order, applies when stopping the equipment.
The starting or stopping of the conveyor belts in any other manner is prevented by electrical
interlocking devices.
If necessary, use the emergency stop located on the control desk or activate the safety limit
switch of the "safety cord" device.
" St r et c h ed s af et y c o r d " d ev i c e
A "safety cord" stopping device is installed on the conveyor belt (where required).
For a proper operation of this device, adjust the tension of the cord so that the notch on the
piston corresponds to the position of the edge of the safety limit switch.
RESET Safety limit switch Safety limit switch
Stretched cord Stretched cord
0 Working position with a tension

force of 80-200 N
1 Safety contact for pulling forces
greater than 200 N
2 Safety contact for tension force of
less than 80 N
The limit switch is activated either when the cord is pulled (position 1) or when the tension
of the stretched cord drops below a certain value (position 2).
After having determined the causes of the emergency stop, reset the operation of the
device by pulling the RESET device outward.

OPERATING CAUTIONS
In MANUAL operation, if the mixer is already occupied by the previous cycle, the skip
moving upwards stops automatically in the STANDBY position. To move the skip up again,
unload the mixer. - The SKIP TOP OVERRUN ALARM light turns on to indicate that the skip
top overrun stop device has been tripped. With the action of the overrun stop device the plant
operating cycles do not stop. The operator will have to check the cause of the fault and make
sure that the skip always stops at the SKIP UP stop device.
The CABLE SLACK ALARM light turns on in the following conditions:
1. incorrect SKIP operation when approaching the weighing area.

2. CABLE SLACK sensor tripped
a. BREAKAGE OF ONE OR BOTH CABLE BRANCHES
b. SLACKENING OF ONE OR TWO CABLE BRANCHES
c. HOPPER STUCK
3. CABLE WINDER CONTROL sensor tripped

a. Incorrect positioning of cable coils in the winch drum races (INCORRECT WINDING)
4. DRUM REV. CONTROL sensor tripped

a. The drum revolutions do not correspond to the actual position of the hopper
(CABLE UNWOUND TOO MUCH
NOTE:
With the CABLE SLACK ALARM warning light ON, the SKIP does not work in the
automatic mode, but only MANUALLY using the remote keyboard on the mixer.
Once you have found the causes of the CABLE SLACK ALARM, remove them operating
the SKIP IN MANUAL MODE USING THE KEYBOARD.
78/98
OPERA TING PRECA UTIONS
- In order to stop a skip in the slow-down area to bring it to a low area, set the MODE
SELECTOR to the MANUAL position, and then press the SKIP UP push button to move from
the skip out of the slow-down area, then stop it.
Afterwards, press the SKIP DOWN push button for correct positioning on the low position
limit switch.
- The presence of the HYGROMETER FEED alarm on the IU98-04 push button pad indicates
an alarm signal coming from the instrument.
To clear the alarm and continue production in automatic mode, the moisture of the aggregate
must be set in manual mode.
The alarm is activated only during the aggregate weighing hopper automatic loading phase.
- When switching from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC mode, the safety functions remain active.

2.1
1 USE OF EQUIPMENT

If necessary, use the emergency stop button on the control desk or cut off voltage through
the master cutout switch (where applied).
L o ad i n g s k i p
After discharging the aggregate into the pan mixer and during the pauses in operation, the
skip bucket must be in the charging position (fully lowered).
Ch ar g i n g t h e p an m i x er
The pan mixer must never be charged with a quantity of material greater than is indicated in
the technical data.
The pan mixer should never be stopped until the hopper has been completely emptied, nor
started with a full load.
The concrete must never be left inside the mixing hopper for a period longer than the
concrete mixture setting time.
At the end of the cycle, if there is no sufficient time to resume production, it is necessary to
wash the inside of the mixing hopper.
Tes t i n g t h e c o n c r et e
When the consistency of a new concrete formula is to be tested, the concrete is checked
visually by looking through the protection grill on the inspection port.
If necessary, adjust the quantity of water and then empty the pan mixer.

MAINTENANCE 3.
3. MAINTENANCE
3.1 General
Warning
Before operating the plant put oil in the mixer and also check the oil in all the
equipment.
The first time the mixer is operated and afterwards at routine intervals, it is necessary to
check for correct operation and carry out the maintenance operations given in this "Use
and Maintenance Handbook".
The same operations must be performed bearing in mind the safety instructions.
Checking and maintenance operations must be carried out only by trained

personnel after shutting off the voltage through the main circuit breaker and
padlocking it.
After removing any guards for access to parts on which maintenance is necessary, refit
them in the same position.
The following instructions are general and must be borne in mind during adjustment and
maintenance operations:
- if replacement is necessary during checking operations, consult the “Spares

Catalogue";
- In winter drain the water from all the pipes, particularly in the pneumatic ball
valves, using the manual control of the related solenoid valves to allow their
complete draining.
- grease the threaded part of the screws every time assembly or disassembly takes
place.
- during control and maintenance operations, the skip bucket must be

positioned in the lower part of the track (aggregate loading area).
Only during pit cleaning should the bucket be positioned in the upper A
track and locked through the special pins (see ref. A SKIP legend).
In order to avoid damage to the components of the hydraulic circuit of the additive
system, check the limits of use with the supplier and the system insulation and
draining requirements.

- after the internal washing, completely empty the mixing case of the remainders and let the
discharge gate open;
- cut off the tension through the cut-off switch and, with the mixer not running, open the
mobile cover;
- accurately clean the mixing blades and the case walls by utilizing pressurized water and
eventually, in case of harder scale, a water machine until they are completely clean,
operating from the outside through the suitable apertures. Carry out an accurate cleaning
also of the discharge gate and funnel.

Check
The performance of the ropes can often be improved by determining the causes of their
deterioration and adopting particular types resistant to those causes, or by eliminating or
alleviating the same causes.
The determination of these deteriorating factors can generally be made by examining the
used rope. Below are some typical examples in which the condition of the strands or the
rope gives useful indications to determine the causes of their deterioration.
Our technicians are at your disposal for the interpretation of doubtful cases.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF DETERIORATION OF THE ROPE
Abrasion and plastic deforma- Rubbing under tension Repeated impacts against
tion caused by excessive against a sharp edge the structure of the machine
pressure between the turns due to vibrations
on the drum
Corrosion Broken wires in the metal co- Metal core exposed as a re-
re due to excessive traction sult of repeated yanking
(note the notches on the stresses
strand wires)
Changing the rope

In the uses which involve safety problems, the replacement of the rope is decided on the
basis of the number and position of the breaks on the wires, the extent of wear and
corrosion, and other damage or obvious changes.
Broken wires
The following suggestions are drawn from the UNI ISO 4309 Standards and apply
exclusively to ropes used on lifting equipment in accordance with Italian provisions, and are
wound on steel or cast-iron pulleys not coated with synthetic material. Count the broken
wires visible outside the rope, taking naturally into consideration the most heavily worn
section of rope. The following table indicates the maximum number of broken wires
acceptable in a section of rope equivalent to 6 and 30 diameters of the rope, depending on
the type and winding.
95/98
MA INTENA NCE 3.
The broken wires should be counted on both of these lengths and the rope must be
replaced if the breaks exceed the minimum number, even if in only one of the two cases.
The breaks are often difficult to detect, since the ends of the broken wires remain in the
primitive position and do not stick out of the rope. To detect these breaks, remove the
grease which covers the rope, rub a piece of soft wood along the rope and, if possible, bend
the rope by hand, so as to force the ends of the wires to stick out of the rope.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF VISIBLE BROKEN W
Cross winding
FORMATION
6 diam 30 diam
6x36 DYFORM 14 29
Wear
Heavily worn wires are an indication of imminent breakage and, over a certain limit, the
worn wire should be counted as a broken wire, thus applying the criteria for changing the
rope. This limit can be considered reached when the wire diameter, judged by sight,
appears worn down to half its original diameter.
In each case, the advanced state of wear of the wires advises more frequent periodic
inspections of the rope.
Corrosion
Corrosion, as well as wear, leads to the breakage of the wire but must be considered as a
more serious cause deterioration than wear. Therefore the same rule applies as for broken
wires, but with a criterion of even greater prudence. The internal corrosion of the rope can
be determined by a decreased diameter.
The internal part of the rope should be checked periodically to detect any deterioration due
to corrosion (see figure at the previous page).
OTHER SIGNS OF DEGRADATION

Independently of the above consideration, the rope must be replaced when:
- its total diameter is reduced below 10% of the original diameter, even if only in one place;
- when a strand is completely broken, or when it has suffered damage which reduce its
useful cross section by about 40%;
- when the rope shows dents, twists or permanent bends caused by damage or by running
over sharp edges;
- when the core comes out of the rope, even if in only one place;
- if, even when the rope is pulled taut, one or more strands appear loose and project
outside.

Principle of operation
When the brake is connected, the electromagnet (6) overcomes the force of the springs (3),
attracts the mobile core (2), releases the brake disk (or disks) (1) and allows the motor to
rotate freely.
When power is not connected to the electromagnet (6), the mobile core, pushed by the
springs (3), presses against the disk (or disks) of the brake (1) and blocks the rotation of the
motor shaft.
Checking the operation

A check of the proper operation of the electromagnetic brake is carried out with the
following procedure:
- charge the bucket with a quantity of aggregate 20% greater than its nominal capacity;
- lift the bucket about 500 mm and stop it;
1 2 3 4 5 6
- check that the bucket is stopped immediately and does
not move;
- if necessary, carry out the following adjustments.
Adjustment of braking torque

The braking torque is proportional to the compression of
the springs (3) and can be varied by operating on the
self-locking nuts (4); the greater the compression of the
springs the greater the braking force.
Adjusting the gap

The gap (A), or the distance between the electromagnet
(6) and the mobile core (2) should be 4/10 mm.The gap
should be checked periodically since, as the brake shoes
(1) wear down, it tends to increase.
To restore the proper gap, operate on the nuts (5).

A periodic check should be carried out on the proper operation of the bucket wheels,
checking in particular that there is no gripping or excessive slack.
