 6 Function and Operation
6 Function and Operation
6.1 Jobs
The plant can be used to suck in, grind, crush, mix grain and other feed components, and
to convey them into feed silos.

6.1.1 Grinding
By means of an air flow generated by the rotary piston blower, the grinding stock is sucked
into the hammer mill, ground there, and discharged as crushed grain via a cyclone with
following ZS 351 star feeder. It falls through the opened crushing rollers onto two screw
feeders which convey the finished stock to the weigh mixer.
The blower sucks the air through the total-separator. In this way, the meal dust is
separated and conveyed to the weigh mixer. On the pressure side, the air is led off upward
through a pressure silencer and a change-over flap (pressure flap).

6.1.2 Crushing
Before starting crushing, the crushing rollers have to be moved together hydraulically. To
achieve a good crushing quality, a hydraulic pretensioning pressure of approx 140 bar has
proven worthwhile. A pressure tank serves for uniform pretensioning pressure and allows
the front roller to get out of the way of foreign matters.
The grain is sucked into the mill through the mill flap with the grinding chamber being
passed by, and is directly conveyed by cyclone and star feeder into the crusher. A
replaceable guide plate serves for uniform grain distribution to the crushing rollers.
The feeding hood between star feeder and crusher is equipped with an overflow protector
for automatic control of the intake quantity. A mechanism for gap variation is located here,
as well.
The finished material falls directly into the feeder screws which convey it to the weigh
mixer.
The air is led of, as described in chapter 6.1.1.

6.1.3 Suction without Grinding/Crushing

Loose feed components to be added without grinding and crushing can be sucked in and
conveyed directly to the weigh mixer, passing mill (mill flap in CRUSHING position) and
crusher (roller position in GRINDING position) by.

33
6 Function and Operation
6.1.4 Mixing
Mixer screw and component screws, which serve to feed the mixer from the bottom side,
are running continuously. While sucked-in feed is fed from the front side, bagged material
can simultaneously be added from the rear side using the hydraulic tilting device.
The component bin includes a mixer outlet from which mixed-material samples can be
taken.
The current mixer filling level is indicated by a remote display. The FULL condition of the
mixer is signalised by horn.
Notice In case of failures, both mixer screw and feeding screws can be disabled
by ball cocks.
6.1.5 Discharge
The mixer can be discharged pneumatically or by screws. The mixed material is
discharged from the mixer by a double screw and is passed either to the pneumatic
discharge gate or to the slewable, vertically adjustable, long screw conveyor. Here it is
possible to adjust the discharge capacity by changing the speed of the discharging double
screw conveyor.

6.2 Operation
6.2.1 Driving on Public Roads

Attention Follow the truck manufacturers instructions.

Before starting driving on public roads, make sure that all hoses, pipes and accessories
are resting properly in their holders and trays.
The slewable, long screw conveyor must have been lowered to its tray, and be secured
against unintended slewing.
All protective devices, doors and hoods must be closed accurately.
Drive only with lowered tilting mechanism and lifted outrigger.

Attention Drive on public roads only with completely discharged plant. Crushing
and mixing plants are self-propelled machines and must not be used as
means of transport on public roads.

34
 6 Function and Operation
6.2.2 Setting up the Plant
Check and, if required, replace screens of the hammer mill.
Lay hoses or pipelines of the suction line from the mill to the suction point.
Connect the upright suction pipe to the suction line.
Open the false-air flap of the upright suction line at least at one third, or even more in
case of short suction lines.
Fully open the regulator at the control panel.
Set the pressure flap for SCREW DISCHARDE so that the blower air can escape
upward on the pressure side.
6.2.3 Starting and Stopping the Motor

Attention Follow the motor manufacturers instructions.

Starting the Motor:
Attention Start the motor only with idle-run speed.

Insert the key and turn it into right

direction. The control lamp must light.

Bring the speed regulation into

IDLE RUN position and use the horn to
give a short warning signal.

To start, turn the key to the right and

press the starter button.

Check the control indicators.

Stopping the Motor:

Attention Do not stop the motor abruptly under full load, but let the temperature
compensation run idly another approx three minutes.

Pull the motor switch out until the motor has stopped.
Push the motor switch in again; the control lamps must light up.
Remove the key.

35
6 Function and Operation
6.2.4 Grinding, Crushing, Mixing

Notice In order to guarantee effective function of the entire plant, it must stand
on an even surface during operation.

Adjust both mill flap and pressure flap for the desired function.
For grinding, the rollers must have been moved apart.
For crushing, the rollers must be moved together, applying a hydraulic pressure of
approx 140 bar; the crushing gap must have been adjusted before.

Notice Recommended crushing gap between the rollers:

barley and the like: approx 0.2 mm
maize and the like: approx 1.2 mm

Adjust the motor speed.

Notice recommended speeds for individual jobs:

grinding: 2.100 rpm
crushing: approx 2.000 rpm

Grinding and crushing are started by closing the suction relief and the regulating flap.

Attention Do not overstress motor and blower during grinding and crushing
(maximum 0.5 bar underpressure). During plant run, stay near the
plant to be able to instantly stop it in case of failure.

Readjust the intake quantity by means of the false-air flap in the upright suction pipe or
at the control panel during operation and after change of the type of grain.

Notice In order to guarantee optimal suction conveyance, false air should, if

possible, only be added at the upright suction pipe.

Having received the desired final quantity, lift the upright suction pipe and discharge
the suction line.

6.2.5 Component Feed

During the grinding and crushing process, bagged feed components can be added from
the rear side.
Move out the outrigger of the tilting mechanism.
Put the bag on the tilting mechanism and lift it by manipulating the appropriate control
valve.

Danger On lifting and lowering the tilting mechanism, make sure that no people
are staying in its working area.

36
 6 Function and Operation
6.2.6 Discharge

Attention With full mixer, the motor speeds may be reduced only to the click-in
position (approximately in central position of the speed transmitter) in
order not to overstress the hydraulic system.

After completion of mixing, move to the discharge point.

Danger Since the centre of gravity of a full mixer is shifted upward and the plants
safety against overturning is affected, utmost care must be taken when
changing its position.

6.2.6.1 Screw discharge

Danger Care must be taken that no people are staying in the slewing range of the
long screw conveyor.

With running motor, lift the long screw

conveyor from its tray, slew it toward the
dumping point, and lock it. In case of power
failure, the appropriate control valve can also
be operated using the emergency control
facility underneath the control panel.
Select a motor speed of approx 1.600 to
1.800 rpm.
Bring the controller of the double screw into
the "0" position.
Start the screws by manipulating the
appropriate trigger switches.
Step by step increase the speed of the
double screw, taking care that jammings
between the double screw and the long
screw are avoided.

Notice With the recommended speeds and an angle of incline of approx 30 to

45, the capacity of the slewable, long screw is in correspondence with
that of the double screw. If the long screw is adjusted steeper, the double
screws capacity must be reduced accordingly.
If the discharge is performed with lower speed, the discharge capacity
must be reduced even at a small angle of incline, as well (for example,
for bagging).

37
6 Function and Operation
6.2.6.2 Pneumatic Discharge

Attention Starting the pneumatic discharge will automatically open the pressure
relief. This is to guarantee that the running blower is not stressed by
additional underpressure.

Lay the pressure line to the finished feed silo or blow-off cyclone.
Change the pressure flaps position to gate discharge
Change the double screws discharge flap to gate discharge.
Select a motor speed of approx 1600 rpm.
Bring the controller of the double screw into the " 0 " position.
Start both the discharge gate and double screw by manipulating the appropriate trigger
switches and step by step increase the speed of the double screw until having
achieved an overpressure of 0.8 bar maximum in the conveying line.

Notice The best discharge efficiency can only be attained with good silo
ventilation.
Flexible silos should be equipped with an additional ventilation, as well,
because otherwise they might get damaged during pneumatic charge.
Furthermore, care must be taken that the ventilating hose of the
discharge gate is not jammed.

6.3 Exhaust air deccontamination with the separator

Notice In order to achieve a perfect separation of the sucked materials, all

separating devices have to be tight.

The total separator separates the conveying air from the goods to be conveyed. The
conveyed goods are discharged without any pressure via a star feeder sluice that is
mounted beneath the total separator. The cleaned conveying air is transferred via a
pressure sound absorber and a change-over flap (pressure flap) to the blow-off pipe or to
the blow-through sluice.
Installation:
The separator is divided into a separating chamber and a chamber for cleaned air lying
above. The chambers are separated by filter tubes with supporting basket. Furthermore a
cyclone is integrated in the total separator.
In the middle of the separator, there is a drive shaft which moves the scavenging device
and the floor scraper. The drive shaft is driven via a chain drive and a worm gear from the
star feeder sluice. The drive is protected from bigger mechanical damages via a sliding
clutch.

Function of the separator:

In the cyclone the conveyed good are discharged to the bottom. The air which is loaded
with dust flows into the separation chamber and from there into the chamber for cleaned
air through the filter tubes. The dust is deposited on the outsides of the filter tubes. The
cleaned conveying air is transferred to the blow-out pipe or to the blow-through sluice.
In order to have a constant and perfect filtering, the filter tubes are automatically cleaned
during the course of operation. By the rotating scavenging device, the filters are closed for
a short time with a slide seal in the chamber for cleaned air and treated with scavenging
air which is sucked from the surrounding air. During this process, the dust on the filter
tubes falls onto the bottom of the total separator.
On the bottom of the separator, a bottom scraper is rotating which conveys the conveyed
goods into the star feeder sluice via a hopper.
Continuous cleaning of the filter and cleaning of the filter with increased
scavenging air:
In case of a continuous cleaning of the filter, the scavenging air is sucked off in each
phase of the operation by a bypass of the suction relief. The ball valve mounted in the
bypass should be opened at approximately one third. The sucked scavenging air
quantity is sufficient for the cleaning of the filter.
An increased scavenging air quantity, sucked by the opened suction relief, can be used
for cleaning the filter during the emptying process of the mixer.
If the mixer is emptied by the blow-through sluice, the suction relief is automatically
opened.
If the mixer is emptied by the auger, the suction relief can be manually opened on the
operating device for the time of emptying.
Notice The ball valve in the bypass of the suction relief should be open at
approximately one third.

7.1 Instructions
Attention For all maintenance works, observe the general safety instructions, as
laid out in chapter 2.

Before the Inspection and

Maintenance Secure the drive against unintended or
unauthorised starting, for example, by
interrupting the power supply by means of
battery main switch, or removing the key from
the key switch.
Never use the main battery switch, or
disconnect the battery when the motor is
running.

Preconditions for all inspection and maintenance works are maximum cleanliness and
reasonable planning. Clean the components to be worked on before commencing the
work. The cleansing agent to be used depends on the component to be cleaned. For
example, do not use solvents or pressurised steam for rubber or electrical parts. In cases
of dismantling, carefully close all open holes, connectors, casings etc. in a suitable way to
avoid dust entering. At longer stoppages, secure all unmounted parts against rust,
contamination and damage.
In any case, but especially for the hydraulic system, use only non-fluffy tissues for
cleaning.

Attention Do not change the rated pressure of pressure limiting valves without the
manufacturers explicit permission.

Check and Exchange of Oil

The plant must be in horizontal position.
Perform the oil exchange always with operation-warm equipment, because warm oil drains
out better. Suspended particles contained in the warm oil, such as oil coal and abrasions,
settle in the oil sump after certain stoppage time of the equipment. They will not drain out
when the oil is cold. Clean the oil dip stick only using a non-fluffy tissue.

Danger Danger of burning due to uncontrolledly draining lubricating or hydraulic

oil.

Visible Losses of Oil

In case of visible losses of oil, check the oil level in shorter intervals, refill if required, find
and eliminate the reason.

40
 7 Maintenance
Oils, Greases and Hydraulic Oils
In case that the current type of oil or grease is to be changed for technical or any other
reason, use only recommended types and viscosity.
Filter
All filter elements and cartridges must be renewed after the required periods, unless
cleaning is explicitly allowed.
All filters were carefully designed for the equipment. Trouble-free operation and long
lifetime of motor and hydraulic devices are achieved only if original parts are used.
Sealing Elements
Take care for sealing elements on dismantling, for example, of lids and closing screws.
Before remounting, carefully check and, if possible, renew all sealing elements. On
erection, pay attention to their correct seat.
Sealing Surfaces
They must be cleaned before assembly. After completion of assembly, check the
connecting point for leakages.
Screwings and Pipelines
Retighten leaking screwings only in pressureless condition. Do not repair, but replace
damaged pipes. Immediately replace hydraulic hoses as soon as damages or fluid
penetration get visible.
Immediately eliminate leakages of the piping system.
Fastening and Securing Elements
Before reuse, check and, if need be, renew all fastening and securing elements, such as
screws, nuts, lock washers, washers etc..
Screwed Connections
All contact surfaces must be even and free of paint, grease, acid, dirt and rust.
Lubrication
Clean all lubricating nipples and lubricate as scheduled.
Greasing
Regularly grease all metallic, blank equipment parts to avoid damages by corrosion.

41
7 Maintenance
Marking of Parts
Replace defective parts in time to avoid major damages. To simplify the assembly, mark
the dismantled parts in their correct sequence.
Replacement Devices
The service intervals of replacement devices are the same as of the replaced ones.
After the Maintenance
Attention After completion of all works, properly relocate all protective devices.

Subject the equipment to a function test.

On removing oil, grease, cleansing agents or oil-containing parts, such as filters, observe
the regulations for environmental protection.

 7 Maintenance
Maintenance of the Upright Motor Oil Double Filters
In case of improper assembly of the filters (fig 1),
oil may run through the oil return hole (fig 2) into
the oil pan, what may result in oil pressure drop.
Therefore, observe the following rules for repair
and maintenance works:
1. Clean filter head and filter bowls from outside.
The ring gap between filter hat and filter bowls
must be free from dirt.
2. Open the fastening screws of the filter bowls by
3 to 4 turns. Take care that the filter bowls will
Fig 1: Motor oil double filters shift on opening the fastening screws, because
otherwise the oil would not drain out.
3. After approx 1 min, completely open the
screws, remove and clean the filter bowls.
4. Replace and grease or oil the rubber gaskets.
Renew the gaskets of the fastening screws,
too.
5. Carefully clean and grease or oil resting and
sealing surfaces in the filter head.
6. Shift new filter inserts over the central pipe,
rearrange the filter bowls, and press them with
your hand onto their resting surface in the filter
head.
7. Finally tighten the fastening screws, applying a

Cooling
Danger Danger of burning by hot cooling water. Cautiously open the filler cap of
the cooling-water tank.
Cooling water is refilled via a compensating
tank. The tank is equipped with a 400 mm
long overflow pipe to always provide the
required air volume. Water hoses and hose
clamps must be checked constantly for
leakages and damages. In case of cooler
contamination, it should be cleaned by both-
sided blowing-through of the cooler
segments. The use of abrasive tools, such as
wire brushes, is not allowed. In case of
particularly heavy contamination, unmount the
cooler for cleaning.
refill opening compensating tank

For further instructions on coolants, anti-freezes etc., refer to the operating

instructions of the motor.

43
7 Maintenance
Air Intake
Attention Perform all maintenance works on the air intake system with stopped
motor. Do not start the motor with removed filter cartridge.
The system is equipped with a PICLON compound filter (dry
filter). Beside main filter cartridge and safety cartridge, it
includes a dust collector and a service indicator with click-in
mechanism (also refer to illustration at chapter 5.5).
The dust collector must be emptied from time to time. The
intervals depend on the dust development. However, it must
be emptied at the latest when it is half-full.
For that, open both clamps, remove the dust collector, open
the cap and empty the vessel.
Locate the cap onto the vessel in such a way that the
recesses in the cap edge meshes with the bosses of the
vessel. Locate the vessel so that the marking arrow points
upward.

Attention The marking arrow must point upward.

Cartridge service is due when the service indicator has clicked

in (red marking is visible when motor is off). After having
completed the service, the red marking must be clicked out by
pressing the reset button. After that, the service indicator is
reset button Cartridge active again.
service is due

The most secure, fastest and cleanest way of cartridge service is replacement of the
exhausted main filter cartridge. During service of the main filter cartridge, the safety
cartridge remains in the filter casing. After removal of the cartridge, clean the filter casing,
particularly the sealing surface of the filter cartridge, using a wet cleaning tissue.
Attention Do not allow dust penetration into the clean-air line to the motor.
The safety cartridge must not be cleaned and reused, but be replaced:
after five service cycles of the main cartridge; the number of service cycles
(replacement or cleaning of the main cartridge) must be indicated in the marking fields
on the safety cartridge;
not later than after two years of use;
if the service indicator responds again immediately after completed service of the main
cartridge;
if the main cartridge is defective.
If required, the filter cartridge can be cleaned by blowing-through or rinsing. It must be
replaced after the third cleaning, but not later than after two years of use.
For more details on how to check and clean the filters, refer to the operating
instructions of the motor.

The 225 R shaft ring is a wearing part and must be replaced from time to time. To replace
the ring, open the screws and remove the clamping rings. The motor-sided clamping ring
is located near the diesel engine; the clamping screws are inside the ring and can be
accessed only through the bore in the mill-sided clamping ring (special tools come with the
equipment). Since the ring is open at a point of its periphery, it can be removed after
having opened the clamping rings.
Arrange the new ring in such a way that the gap between the cut surfaces is as small as
possible. Tighten the screws applying a torque of 55 Nm. Always tighten two screws which
are located opposite one another. Since the rubber settles after the initial tightening,
retighten the screws at a later time.

7.2.3 Rotary Piston Blower, Safety Valves, Double Silencer

Refer to illustrations at chapter 5.6
All maintenance works on rotary blower, as well as under- and overpressure valves must
be performed following the attached operating instructions by AERZENER.
For lubrication must be used an synthetic motoroil as Aral High Tronic SAE 5W-40, Esso
Ultron SAE 5W-40, Shell Helix Ultra SAE 5W-30 or Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40.
The underpressure valve opens at an underpressure of 0.55 bar, whereas the
overpressure valve opens at 0.8 bar. These maximum pressures must not be exceeded.
Pressure excesses result in impermissibly high temperatures.

45
7 Maintenance
7.2.4 HF 92 Hammer Mill, Magnet
Refer to illustrations at chapter 5.7
A magnet to separate metallic parts is located in front of the hammer mill inlet.
Furthermore, a fan to trap bigger foreign matters is located above the magnet. Daily
checking and cleaning protects the mill against damages to hammers and screens.
Hammers, screens and screen holders are wearing parts and must be checked regularly.
The 40 hard-metal hammers must easily move on the hammer bolt. Blocked hammers can
be unblocked by moving them to and fro. To change the hammers, remove both the
hammer bolt caps from the mill housing, disengage the hammer bolts in the rotor and pull
them laterally out of the mill so that the hammers come out one after the other.

Attention On assembling take care that equal numbers of hammers and spacing
bushes are mounted on the opposite impact bolts, because otherwise
unbalances would occur.

To change the screens, remove both lids, unfasten the screen baskets and pull the
screens out. After removal of a screen half, one can access the stone catch pan which
must be cleaned regularly.

Notice Wearing of screens is heavier at the hole edges located opposite to the
running direction. In case of efficiency reduction, the screens should be
rotated.

46
 7 Maintenance
7.2.5 Total separator, star feeder

Notice In order to achieve a perfect separation of the sucked materials, all

separating devices have to be tight.

In the separator, filter tubes are mounted. Any leakage or dirt accumulation will have a
negative influence on the separator function. If there is a particularly high quantity of dust
particles in the exhaust air, the filter tubes have to be checked. Defective filter tubes have
to be exchanged.
Dismantle filter tubes:
Open the hood of the separator
Unscrew the scavenging device
Release the screws of the filter hood and remove the hood
Remove the nose pieces
Take out the filter tubes with support basket

Sliding clutch:
A sliding clutch is mounted between the star feeder and the separator. The sliding clutch
protects the drive from bigger mechanical damages and is integrated in the chain wheel on
the drive side of the worm gear drive. If the scavenging device and the bottom scraper are
not continuously taken during normal load, the sliding clutch has to be adjusted again or
the friction lining has to be renewed.
Chain drive:
The star feeder is equipped with a chain drive which has to be checked in regular intervals.
If the suction performance is decreasing, the star feeder is worn out. In this case the
complete star feeder has to be exchanged.

47
7 Maintenance
7.2.6 GQ60 Grain Crusher
Refer to illustrations at chapter 5.8

Membrane vessel: Safety valve:

Danger Since the crusher is equipped with a membrane tank, the previously
adjusted crushing pressure of approx 140 bar is still available in the
hydraulic system after the plant was stopped.

Therefore, the pressure must be relived before starting working on the hydraulic
system or performing any erection works on the crusher. With running plant, this is
possible by moving the rollers apart, whereas with stopped plant, the pressure can only be
relieved by opening the safety valve (at the return filter).
On the storage container, it is forbidden to perform any welding, soldering or other
mechanical work. Inexpert repairs may cause heavy accidents!
The gap between the crushing rollers is modified on both sides by means of flat
wedges. The standard setting for a minimum gap of 0.2 mm is executed on manufacturing
in the manufacturers premises. This minimum gap can be modified by changing the liner
plates between wedge and bearing casing. Two liner plates (thickness 0.2 mm) fall under
the scope of delivery, further ones of different thickness can be ordered from the
manufacturer (for item Nos., refer to chapter 8.8).
Significant efficiency reduction indicates that the intake edges are worn out too much. The
entire grain crusher is of symmetric design, and a rotation of the crusher leads to a change
of direction of rotation so that the less worn-out edges help to reachieve higher efficiency.
For removal of the crusher, remove the drives and separating members, and the sealing
frame underneath the crusher, as well. Using suited hoisting machinery, relieve the load
on the legs of the crusher before removing them.
Attention The grain crusher (without drive) has a weight of approx 900 kg. Use
only hoisting machinery of appropriate carrying capacity.

48
 7 Maintenance
7.2.7 Weigh Mixer, Weighing Facility
The distance between mixer blade and
container wall is important for the function of the
mixer. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly
check the mixer setting. At the narrowest point,
the distance should be approx 10 mm.
In case of heavy wearing, the mixer plates must
be replaced.

To guarantee perfect component mixing it is necessary that the inner walls of the mixer are
smooth. Therefore, coat formations must be removed immediately.

7.2.8 Discharge Gate

Refer to illustration at chapter 5.9
The ventilating hose which runs from the discharge gate upward to the mixer must be
cleaned once per week. Further maintenance works are not required.
In case that the discharge gate gets blocked by a foreign matter, it is necessary to remove
the cleaning lid and the intake pipe above the gate and to clean the intake. If one cannot
eliminate the failure, the gate must be unmounted and dismantled.
If the discharge gate is worn out or leaking due to damage by foreign matters, it must be
replaced, but both gate drive and pipeline are reused.

49
7 Maintenance
7.3 V Belts
Constant checking and, if need be, correction of the belt tensioning, particularly during the
initial 50 hours of operation, is strictly required.
Only exact belt tensioning guarantees a long lifetime.
Heavy vibrations and noisy run are indicating inadequate pretensioning.
In case that one or more V belts of a multi-belt drive fail, one must change the complete
set of belts. V belts of different brands must not form a set of belts.

7.3.1 Crusher
The five-groove main drive (power belt) from the motor to the crusher is pretensioned by
means of a back-tensioning roller. Constant pretensioning is achieved by means of 2
tensioning springs so that retensioning is not required.
The four-groove drive of the flexible roller must be pretensioned rigidly by means of a
tensioning roller.

7.3.2 V Belts of Rotary Blower

The two-groove tensioning pulley is tensioned

by means of a ROSTA tensing member. To
retension, slightly open screw A, hold the
tensioning member casing by means of a
wrench and turn in desired direction. Finally
retighten screw A.

7.3.3 Other V belts

The V belts of the right-sided component screw are tensioned using an ROSTA tensioning
member, as well. The drive of the double screw is equipped with a rigid back-tensioning
roller, whereas the belt drive of the long screw is tensioned by shifting the hydraulic motor.
The V belt of the Mercedes Benz diesel engine is tensioned by the generator. Therefore,
the bottom of the motor casing must be pulled out to the right.
The V belts required for the entire plant are listed at chapter 8.1.

7.4 Lubrication of Anti-Friction Bearings
Lubricate the gear rim of the motor impeller as per the Mercedes Benz operating
instructions.
Further lubricating points are at the mill, grain crusher with distributor plate and overflow
protector, blower tensioning roller, component screws and slewing ring of the long screw.
All other bearings are equipped with permanent lubrication.
For lubrication, all types of lithium soap grease as per DIN 51825 K3-N or K2-N are suited
best.

7.5 Hydraulic System
Refer to illustrations at chapter 5.10
The function of the hydraulic system is shown in the attached hydraulic diagram.
Notice Poor maintenance and insufficient cleanliness are known to be the main
reasons of damages to the hydraulic system; therefore, strictly follow the
instructions given below.

The hydraulic system includes an oil tank below the hose tray and a somewhat higher
located additional tank with level indicator and filling nozzle with tank ventilation. The entire
hydraulic system holds approx 150 litres of hydraulic oil.
Attention Never let the motor run with empty hydraulic tank.

The first replacement of return filter must be performed after approx 50 hours of
operation.
In the course of further oil changes being due every approx 2000 hours of operation,
the oil filter must be replaced, as well. In the time between the oil changes, the filter has
to be replaced immediately if the visual indicator shows excessive contamination.
The filling nozzle of the additional tank includes a ventilation filter (refer to page 5.10). It
must be replaced as soon as the contamination indicator shows a pressure difference of
0.5 bar.
Attention Daily check the visual contamination indicators with the equipment
having operating temperature.

As hydraulic medium, use hydraulic oil HLP VG 46 (ISO).

After every oil change of the hydraulic system or equipment failure, the plant must be
ventilated in the following sequence:
Before starting the diesel engine, stop the hydraulic motors of weigh feeder, star feeder
and component crews.
Let the plant run idly for some minutes.
Move out the hydraulic cylinders of tilting mechanism and long screw.
Restart the initially stopped motor.
Finally, check the oil level and refill probably missing oil. Strictly maintain the demanded oil
level (middle of the sight glass in cold condition):
Danger In case that air is in the suction hoses between oil tank and double-
geared pump, immediately stop all hydraulic consumers. Otherwise, the
pumps cannot suck up the oil and will run dry.

9.1 Soy Oil Dosing Unit
The soy oil dosing unit includes a measuring
vessel and an optional soy oil tank. The
measuring vessel holds 40 l and is located
above the upper hose tray. A 300 l soy oil
tank can be mounted underneath the hose
tray, and a 250 l soy oil tank, centrally behind
the rear axle.
The measuring vessel is connected with the
suction line by a hose. By means of the
underpressure for sucking-in of the grain, soy
oil and other fluids can be drawn into the
measuring vessel. The vessel content is
indicated by a scale.
The fluid dosed to the measuring vessel runs
by its own gravity into the component bin and
is mixed with the crushed material which
rotates at the sampling nozzle, and is fed by
the right-sided component screw to the mixer.
Beside the tanks, the equipment includes
pipelines and shut-off cocks, as well.

9.2 Lift-and-Tilt Mechanism for Bags :

The through of the tilting mechanism is

resting in slide rails and can be lowered to
the ground by means of an additional
hydraulic cylinder, or be lifted with the bag
by 40 cm. Only after that, tilting is
performed.

Changing from lifting to tilting and vice-

versa is performed internally by means of a
pressure sequence circuit. The operator
must only operate the way valve.

The lift-and-tile mechanism can be added

at a later time!

9.3 Central lubrication for lubricating grease NLG 2

The following parts belong to the central

lubrication device: a lever grease press, two
progressive distributors and lines to eleven
places for lubrication.
They will supply the roller bearings of the
hammer mill, the grain crusher, the
component auger and the slewing rim.
The lubrication has to be carried out once a
day at idle-running speed. Two or three
strokes guarantee an optimum supply of
grease.
If the grease cartridge is changed (400gr
Grease NLGI-Class 2), it has to be paid
highest attention to cleanness ,
furthermore leak tests of the lines have to
be made every day.
