2 Safety
NOTE
Be sure to comply with the general safety instructions in the
supplement Important notes on the documentation.
Use
The material distributor is only intended for conveying dry,
powdery to fine-grained or gritty, fluidisible bulk materials. Be
sure to comply with the instructions concerning the intended
use in the section Technical data.
Any use other than the intended use is forbidden. POLYSIUS AG
is not responsible for damage resulting from any use other
than the intended use. All other use is at the owner’s own risk.
The intended use also includes observance of the instructions
in the machine manual and compliance with the maintenance
instructions.
Operation
Any safety checks before or during operation depend on the
relevant national regulations. The plant management is
responsible for the performance and recording of such checks.
If changes in the machine or its operating behaviour relevant
to safety occur, shut it down immediately.
Safety Machine manual
2 Material distributor
Maintenance
Ensure that all machines and motors whose operation might
endanger persons or equipment are switched off and
safeguarded against restarting for the entire duration of the
maintenance work.
When work is being performed on the installed pneumatic
trough conveyor or prior to dismounting of the pneumatic
trough conveyor, make absolutely sure that the inward
conveying equipment to the material distributor has been
stopped or take other suitable measures to prevent an
unintentional flow of material.
Melting of polyester fabric causes hydrogen cyanide vapours;
therefore, extract the hydrogen cyanide vapours directly above
the point of work.
Ensure that all rotating parts of the machine have come to a
standstill before you remove protection devices or open flaps.
Keep the machine free of oily and combustible substances and
materials. Never use gasoline or other easily inflammable
substances for cleaning the machine.
Switch off the power supply to the electrical components
before commencing any maintenance work.
After all maintenance work, check that there are no leaks in
connecting points and connections.
Strictly observe the welding instructions when performing any
welding work.
When electric arc welding or cutting are being performed, you
must ensure that the personnel cannot come into contact with
electrically conductive components. Use insulating underlays
for this purpose.
Never situate the source of the welding current in a confined
space where walls have conductive properties.
If you carry out electrical welding on any part of the machine,
never conduct the welding current through plain or antifriction
bearings, other movable connections or measuring equipment.
Always directly connect the welding current return lead to the
part being welded.
Remount all protection devices when maintenance work has
been finished. Make absolutely sure that no persons are inside
the plant component before you properly close the inspection
and service covers.

4.2 Assembly
General notes
The following assembly instructions do not detail the individual
steps for assembling the units, but rather give an overview of the
work to be performed.
Changes in the planning of the plant during the processing of the
contract may lead to deviations from these assembly
instructions.
Careful selection of tools and appliances used and of the
personnel is important for the correct execution of the assembly
work.
CAUTION
If you carry out electrical welding on any part of the machine,
never conduct the welding current through plain or antifriction
bearings, other moving connecting elements or measuring
equipment, in order to prevent damage to such parts.
Always directly connect the welding current return lead to the
part being welded.

Sequence of assembly
Central discharge
Mount the shutoff flap (1.1) and the flexible connection (1.12)
onto the flange of the central outlet.
Connect the shutoff flap (1.11) to the control air piping.
NOTE
For transportation and assembly of the fan, be sure to comply
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
If the shaft can be easily turned and the impeller runs freely,
you can mount the ring piping (3.2) and the aeration piping for
the consumers.

CAUTION
Ensure that the environment is not polluted when lubricants are
stored, used and disposed of and carefully observe the relevant
national legislation for the protection of the environment when
handling lubricants.

7.1 Inspection
7.2 Servicing
When work is being performed on the installed pneumatic trough
conveyor, make absolutely sure that the inward conveying
equipment to the material distributor has been stopped or take
other suitable measures to prevent an unintentional flow of
material.
If any faults occur which are not described above, consult the
additional information about faults, their causes and their
elimination in the subsuppliers’ documentation.

7.4 Repair
Before performing any repair work, switch off the power supply to
all electrical components.
Ensure absolute cleanliness at all times during repair work in
order to prevent dirt from entering the bearings, the drive units or
other sensitive parts of the machine or plant.
Do not remove or open any covers or protection devices before all
rotating parts have stopped.
If you have to carry out welding work when the material
distributor is open, provide a cover to protect the porous fabric
floor against spatters.
Before performing any repair work, make absolutely sure that the
inward conveying equipment to the material distributor has been
stopped or take other suitable measures to prevent an
unintentional flow of material.

DANGER
Melting of polyester fabric causes hydrogen cyanide vapours.
There is mortal danger.
Extract the hydrogen cyanide vapours directly above the point of
work.
Place flat steel (2.4) on one front end onto the porous fabric
floor, take a hot spike to melt new bolt holes through the
porous fabric floor and bolt the flat steel, the porous fabric
floor and the lower housing of the trough conveyor together.
Tension the porous fabric floor tightly, place the second flat
steel, take a hot spike to melt new bolt holes through the
porous fabric floor and bolt the flat steel, the porous fabric
floor and the lower housing of the trough conveyor together.
Cut off the projecting porous fabric floor at the sides and front
ends and weld the cut surfaces of the porous fabric floor
together by means of a hot flat steel.
Place sealing tape (A) onto the porous fabric floor in the area of
the flange and set down the upper housing of the trough
conveyor (2.1.1).
Take a hot spike to melt new bolt holes through the porous
fabric floor at the longitudinal flanges and bolt the upper
housing and the lower housing of the trough conveyor together.
