- Include a pressure-reducing valve in the control pressure supply line and set it to the specified control pressure.
- Confirm that the process pressure and control pressure do not exceed the values indicated on the data plate.
- Only begin initial operation and pressure admission after the silo filling device is completely installed.
- In case of any damage, immediately shut off both the compressed air and voltage supply, and release any pressure.
- All maintenance or repair work on the filling device must be performed with the device depressurized and de-energized.
Operation:
- The device is mounted on the silo's filling pipe to connect the filling hose and shut off the pipe.
- The pinch valve is activated by compressed air through a control valve and closes when de-energized.
- Carefully review the technical data provided in the manual, including process temperature, ambient temperature, supply voltage, pressure specifications, and materials used.
- Make sure all mechanical connections, compressed air connections, and electrical connections are properly made, following the instructions provided.
- The device must be operated and monitored exclusively by expert personnel to prevent any potential hazards.
- Always follow the operating instructions and safety guidelines at all times.
- Any maintenance or repair work should only be conducted when the device is disconnected from power and depressurized.
- Regularly inspect the device to ensure correct pressure settings, check for wear and tear on hoses, verify tight connections, and ensure the swiveling lever moves freely.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure the safe and effective use of your MOLLET SFA-Q Silo Filling Device with Pinch Valve.
