1. Start-up GRAVIMAX
Only qualified personnel should carry out the start-
up of the GRAVIMAX.
Connect the power- and air supply.
The door of the blender must be closed for
the blender to operate.
Turn the main switch, on the bottom of the control,
on.
Upon initial Start-Up, the blender will take
a little longer to initially load all data and
programming.
The opening image Wittmann will appear on the
display.

1.1 Calibration of the weigh bin

The calibration of the weigh bin is necessary after
any movement of the blender, as well as periodi-
cally to ensure accuracy. Please follow the execu-
tion steps for calibration the scale in Chapter 2.6.6
Scale Calibration.

The Information Menu contains the name and
version of the blender. In addition, a table shows
the batch and the material consumption per com-
ponent (also the throughput of kg per hour), de-
pending to the current recipe.
The throughput per hour is calculcated
after each batch specifically for one hour
worth of batches (no mean value calcula-
tion).
2.2.1.1 File Transfer
With file transfer, it is possible to get all available
files (batch history, alarm history, recipe file, pa-
rameter file) and save them as .CSV file via the
USB Port of the power panel to a USB-Stick.
Note that the file transfer is only possible
through the port USB 1.

plete, the blender will stop.
2.2.3 Autotuning
The purpose of Autotuning is to calibrate the flow
characteristics of each ingredient to assist in the
accuracy and consistency of the blender opera-
tions.
Under Autotuning you can select those compo-
nents (or values), for which autotuning should be
performed. Depending on how many components
in a recipe are used, the software detects automat-
ically which components must be configured.
To get a better autotuning result, follow the instruc-
tions on the information window.

be changed quickly. If the option auto is selected,
the input filed of the component is grayed out and
the required amount is calculated by the control. If
a component is changed, the auto component is
automatically adjusted to 100%.
Explanation:
VIRGIN and REGRIND component weights or
percentages always make up 100% (on the
display). For the production process, the
amount of the ADDITIVE is automatically de-
ducted from the VIRGIN to come to 100%. In
the above example of the Quickeditor, it would
mean that 10% will be deducted from VIRGIN.
This results in a distribution of VIRGIN. This
results in total to 100%. If no REGRIND mate-
rial is present, the blender enters the Regrind
