“Machinery Directive”. The handling equipment must be accompanied by
documentation certifying its conformity to the above requirements and must be
capable of bearing the weight of the machine plus its packing. Carefully follow
any instructions marked on the machine packing (the weight is given on the
outside of the pack). Do not use ropes or chains to harness the pack.
3. All handling operations must be performed with the machine completely empty,
i.e. with no process materials or fluids inside it, and with any external support
structures removed.
4. All the machine parts involved in the lifting operation are sized for handling
solely the machine with no accessories installed.
5. If the machine is lifted with ropes, make sure that its weight is evenly distributed
over all the lifting points and that the strain on the ropes is uniform. The angle
between each rope and the horizontal plane must not be less than 45°.
6. Fasten any loose parts. Make sure that the load is properly balanced and
securely fastened to the handling equipment. Always proceed with the utmost
caution to avoid injuring persons or damaging the machine.
7. All persons not involved in operating the means of transport must be kept at a

WARNING
Risk of the machine falling during handling phases.
Pay special attention and always wear suitable personal
protective equipment!
The machine, packed or unpacked, can easily be moved by hand (see Fig. 2 -
Page 8).
For moving longer distances, use the means of transport that best preserves the
integrity of the pack and the machine (see Fig. 3 - Page 8).
ENGLISH 8-G
4. Operation
The material is sucked in through the suction probe 01 (see Fig. 6 - Page 11), due
to the vacuum air flow generated by the internal blower. The probe can be adjusted
to optimise the suction flow by following the indications given in Par. 5.5. - Page 13.
ATTENTION
Do not suck up material that is in a pasty state, as this could cause
build-ups of material that may block up the feeder.
In any case the temperature of transported material must not
exceed 120°C (248°F).
5. Installation
Safety rules for installation
1. The machine must be installed by skilled personnel in compliance with statutory
health and safety regulations and in accordance with the instructions in this
manual.
2. Make sure the installation work is performed in conditions of adequate visibility
that remain constant through time; install supplementary lighting if necessary.
3. Mark off the work zones with tape and display suitable danger notices in the
areas where the installation work is taking place.
4. Install the machine in a place that is protected from aggressive chemicals and
the weather.
5. Check that the supply voltage and frequency stated on the machine data plate
correspond to those of the electrical mains and check that the mains circuit is
suitably sized in relation to the machine's maximum power input (refer to the
"technical data" table and the wiring diagram).
6. The machine must be connected to an efficient earthing point (as specified in
statutory electrical safety regulations). You must make sure that this essential
safety requirement is complied with. If you have any doubts, have the circuit
thoroughly checked by a qualified electrician. Electrical protection devices,
suitably sized for the total power of the machine, must be installed at the point
of connection to the electrical power feeding line (see wiring diagram).
WARNING
Risk of serious damage to health, injury or death.
It is strictly forbidden to remove or modify the safety
devices and guards fitted by the manufacturer.
9-G ENGLISH
5.1. Positioning
The feeder is fixed directly onto a hopper; if necessary the appropriate holes must
be made (see Fig. 1 - Page 6). The feeder body can be rotated continually through
360°, due to the special flange that allows it to be fixed in any direction.
For fixing the feeder, use the holes in the fixing flange, inserting screws that will
provide a grip by the male thread of at least 10 mm.
ATTENTION
The unloading flap is secured using an adhesive tape band to avoid
it being damaged in transit (see Fig. 4 - Page 10).
The adhesive tape must be removed to ensure that the flap moves
freely before installing the feeder.
Check that the hopper cover on which the feeder has been installed
is securely fixed in position and is able to support the weight of the
feeder when it is full of material.
In case of direct application on processing machines (I.M.M. and
extruders), the stability of the feeder subject to any stress must also
be checked.
Fig. 4
If the feeder cannot

be installed directly
onto the hopper, it
may be necessary
to use the optional
universal coupling
(see Fig. 5 -
Page 10).

5.2. Pipe connections
One end of the hose 02 (see Fig. 6 - Page 11) must be fixed to the stub pipe that
sticks out of the feeder, whereas the other end must be fixed to the suction probe
01. Use the hose clamps supplied for fixing the hose.
To ensure the electrical continuity of the piping and avoid static discharges,
proceed as follows:
unwind at least 5 cm of the copper winding (b) from both ends of the hose (a, see
Fig. 7 - Page 11), and insert it inside the pipe (c and d), before coupling it to the
stub pipe and the suction probe (e).

5.3. Electrical connections
ATTENTION
Suitable protection for the total power of the machine must be
installed at the point of connection to the electric mains.
The use of protection fuses is recommended: follow the instructions
given in the attached wiring diagram.
In addition, install a main circuit breaker switch between the
electricity line and the machine power supply lead; it must be
installed in an easily accessible position.
ATTENTION
To disconnect the feeder from the electric power socket, always
grip the plug and never pull on the wire.
The machine is equipped with a power supply cable (length: 3,5 m) equipped with
a Schüko plug suitable for outlets of the same standard, built and protected
according to the safety standards in force in the country where the machine is
installed.
5.4. Compressed air connection

Connect the compressed air supply line to the coupling (see Fig. 8 - Page 12)
present on the machine.
The compressed air must be dry and non-lubricated, at a pressure of
600 ÷ 800 kPa (6 ÷ 8 bar) and a minimum filtration grade of 25µ.
ATTENTION
Do not connect further users in the segment between the
compressed air line and the feeder.

ENGLISH 12 - G
5.5. Regulating the suction probe
The functioning principle of the transport system requires the material to be mixed
with an air flow: it is therefore very important that the air/material proportions be set
carefully so that a homogeneous and constant flow is obtained along the entire
length of the pipe.
The holes (f, g - see Fig. 9 - Page 13) on the end of the probe 01 are opened or
shut and the connecting pipe 02 is passed over them, depending on the type of
material being used and the transport distance.
By increasing the number of holes open (position g) the quantity of air in the mix is
increased so as to speed up and improve the flow. By covering the holes with the
flexible pipe (position f), the concentration of material is increased, and the flow
slows down. Be careful not to increase the quantity of material excessively, to avoid
clogging the piping.
In extreme cases it may be necessary to extract or remove the internal pipe
altogether to obtain the transport characteristics required.

10.2. Filter maintenance
CAUTION
Risk of damaging the machine.
Replace the filters immediately if worn or damaged!
ATTENTION
Change the used filter cartridge with a clean one (to be set up next
to the machine). Set aside the used cartridge for cleaning
afterwards.
When cleaning parts, always use an industrial vacuum cleaner and
perform the work in a suitable place.
Never use compressed air. After cleaning, store the filter cartridges
in a clean, dry place.
ATTENTION
Automatic filter cleaning does not substitute the manual cleaning of
the filter.
The filter must be cleaned manually at periodic intervals, following
the instructions given here, even in models with self-cleaning filters.
The filter must be cleaned once a week if new, clean material is used. Clean it more
frequently if particularly dusty materials are used.
To clean the filter, perform the following operations (see Fig. 15 - Page 27).
1. Disconnect the feeder from the power supply.
2. Loosen the closing levers 08 and lift the lid 09.
3. Remove the filter from its seat and proceed to clean it.
4. After cleaning reposition the filter in its seat and close the lid with the closing
levers.
If the filter is a fabric filter with detachable bag, it is possible to replace the bag
alone: the upper part of the bag consists of an elastic spring that has to be pressed
firmly towards the centre of the filter to permit extraction (see Fig. 15 - Page 27).
In the models that include automatic filter cleaning, this takes place before (this
parameter can be set in [p!--]) and after (this parameter can be set in [p@--])
each loading cycle, with a jet of compressed air directed onto the filter by means of
a nozzle.
