 Maintenance men
It should describe the functionalities and the technical characteristics of the plant and his
components, point out its correct use, give assemblage instructions, the start up and the use,
point out the interventions of programmed maintenance and to facilitate the location of possible
anomalies and the order of spare parts.
This handbook, in any case, cannot replace the operators’ experience. Thus it only
represents a useful memorandum of technical particulars and actions.
The informations and instructions written inside are related to the described product, that
brings a determined serial number.
EUROMECC s.r.l. is working to improve its own products and studies the possible
changes to make them better, without updating, for this reason, its previous implant manuals.
Take care of this handbook as integral part of the batching plant documents. In case the
handbook is lost or destroyed, it is possible to ask for a copy by specifying model, matriculation
number and year of production.
The reproduction, also partial, of the manual is forbidden without authorization written of
the EUROMECC s.r.l.

In order to identify the plant, it is necessary to look at the plate put on the aggregates side
group where you can read the informations about the builder who will also give assistance post-
sale to customers. Model of the plant.
 Serial number.
 Year of construction.
 CE mark
2.2 Destination use of the plant

EUROMECC’S silos are planned and realized, mainly, for loose cement and materials dust’s
stocking with inferior specific weight to 1330 kg/mc. Silos life depends to the hardness and
abrasive of the dusty materials.
2.3 Operator
It is not needed a particular use of technical or theoretical knowledge for the plant’s use.
However, there should be a basic knowledge about the put in operation of it and a careful reading
of the manual. The operator should study the synoptic panel commands and/or with the
automation system before dosage testing and/or to work on the plant.
2.4 Work Environment

EUROMECC batching plants can operate in any work environment, indoors or outdoors, as
they are not sensitive to humidity, dust and temperature alterations.
2.5 Respect of the normative environmental

EUROMECC’s plants answer to the normative environmental for the emission of cement dusts
in atmosphere.

KCS SILO SAFETY SYSTEM:
The KCS Silo Safety System can be used for silos which are filled by
tanker with powders or granular materials.
During the operation of filling from tankers can most happen damage to
the silo or its accessories. This is due to the risk of overfilling or excess
pressurisation.
The KCS system, supplied in component form, prevents both overfilling
and excess pressurisation, thus avoiding damages to the silo, to the
venting filter or other accessories, and reducing the risk of dust emission
into the atmosphere.
For further information please refer to the technical manual
associated.

It allows the complete management of the functionalities of the batching plant:
Realized with high quality components (ABB, Telemecanique), the electric panel has been
projected to allow a comfortable and simple management of all the functionalities of the plant
never neglecting safety and reliability.
The external structure, with protection level IP55, introduces synoptically commands
entirely realized in aluminium, where are positioned the weighing tools and water dosing.
The commands on the synoptically one have been gathered for functional affinity so that to
simplify at the most the logic of command.
The electric panel is equipped by conformity certification and electric schemes personalized
according to of the functionalities of the batching plant.
4.6 Dust extracting plant (optional)
SILOTOP Filter
SILOTOP is a cylindrically shaped dust collector for venting of pneumatically filled silos. The
stainless steel body contains filtered elements assembled vertically. The air jet cleaning system is
completely integrated protection cover.
The dust is separated from the air flow by special filter elements and collected inside the
silos through to the automatic integrated system of washing compressed air. It is specific for
cement and similar products but that can be used for different kinds of dust.
For more information see the technical manual supplied.

OPERATION AND USE
5. OPERATION AND USE
5.1 Cement Stocking
The silos are airtight containers, with the function of stocking and isolating cement and/or
dust material, from the atmospheric agents.
Apart from the kind of silos used, the cement is introduced through one or more load pipes
endowed with normalized flange that guarantees the compatibility with any kind of torpedo for
cement transport.
The safety valve for the pressure control should avoid that phenomenas of pressure and
depression can be created inside the storage bin during the concrete loading and unloading.
In the silos hopper (inferior cone) the plates of fluidity are assembled. They avoid an
irregular descent of the product, of an improper mixing, segregation, remains, rat holing.
5.2 How to use the dust extracting plant
The system of dusts extracting is employed during two different periods of workmanship, in
both phases there is the emission in the atmosphere of cement and/or aggregates’ dust.
The first use is during the load of the truckmixer. In such case the filter connected to a
cloak conveyer, built around the gargoyle of loading and compatible also with the load of the
concrete-pump.
The truckmixer which is ready for the loading process is placed with the funnel completely protected
from the extractor fan.
To make the run from the extractor fan toward the particles filter of saturated air easier, it is
installed a centrifugal fan of course.
The electric-fan creates a depression inside the aspiration pipe favouring the raising of the
air towards the filter.
Inside the cylinder there are some filtering particles realized with sharpened felt, which keep
the cement dust particles and making them cross by the filtered air.
To avoid filter bags stops, they are treated with throws of compressed air in order to relapse
the restrained dusts inside the collecting cone.
The collecting cone has vibrator and butterfly valve that close the entrance of the conveyor
screw for the cement recovery and its unloading is directly connected to the cement hopper.
In the second case (ours) the filter is, instead, used during the cement unload, from the
torpedoes conveyors to the silos.
The torpedoes conveyors unload the cement inside the silos using a pomp in high pressure.
The silos has a vent-pipeline for digesting the excessive pressure created inside, from it
leaks apart from the air also a quantity of water.
To avoid the direct issue in atmosphere of these cement dusts, the silos vent-pipe is joined,
through a pipe in plastic wrinkled material, to the entrance of the filter.
The cleaned air is expelled in both cases through a fireplace placed to the summit of the
same filter and connected to sent of the fan. On the fireplace there is a filleted rail of appropriate
dimensions for the collecting of the filtered air sample.

OPERATION AND USE
5.3 How to use the safety system
Euromecc plants are realized in the full respect of the actual safety normative.
From the assemblage phase, the “Safety Plain" shows the rules about the assemblage
according to the specific safety.
The electric panel has emergency pulsating and electro-mechanic sectioned which prevent
the entrance to the under-tension parties.
Before effecting any operations on the electric panel, on the personal computer or on any
plant element, it should be detached the differential interrupter and the line of the plant feeding.
All the joining motor-gearbox with pulleys and straps of transmission should have protection
carter, instead the staircases and gangways should have parapets and handrail.
The use of such safety garrisons is important whenever there would verify imminent danger
situations.
The system efficiency should be checked at least once a month, simulating the starting. If
someone of the safety systems didn't have to intervene any case, the buyer would immediately
arrange the plant and its correct work.

6.5 Routine maintenance items on metal works
During their lifetime, the metal works shall be periodically inspected by a qualified
technician appointed by the customer.
A first check should be made after one year of operation of the facility. On that occasion should be
determined the maximum time interval between two consecutive inspections of dependence of the
nature, characteristics of the work and the locations where it is; in any case this time interval
cannot be greater than 10 years.
Periodic inspections should be extended as far as possible in all parts of the work to determine the
general state of conservation and have, if necessary, the maintenance work. In particular, they
must be verified by visual inspection efficiency riveting or welding connections, the equipment
operating and support the integrity of the bulkheads.
It must be ascertained:
1) With a visual check of the tightness of bolts and screws after 1 year from the
commissioning of the plant. On this occasion will be determined the next time interval
according to the nature, characteristics and location of the work in which it is located;
2) Visually inspect the integrity of the welds of the links (for cracks, corrosion,
weld failure, damage caused by wear fatigue, etc.) After 1 year from the
commissioning of the plant. On this occasion will be determined the next time interval
3) Visually inspect the integrity of the coating and galvanizing, and the state of
corrosion after 1 year from the commissioning of the plant and later as
determined by the rules on the painting (UNI EN ISO 12944-8) and galvanized
(UNI EN ISO 14713). On this occasion will be determined the next time interval
4) The operation of any equipment supporting the structure on the ground or on
building work one year after the commissioning of the plant. On this occasion will
be determined the next time interval according to the nature, characteristics and location of
the work in which it is located;
5) By visual inspection 'integrity of the masonry same support for the metal
structure after one year from the commissioning of the plant. On this occasion will
be determined the next time interval according to the nature, characteristics and location of
the work in which it is located.
Steps to be taken:
1) Replace damaged bolts and screws;
2) Restore the damaged welds protecting welds from corrosion;
3) Restore the layer of paint / zinc coating damaged UNI EN ISO 12944 and UNI EN
ISO 14713;
4) Restore the equipment operating support replacing any parts worn or replace
the equipment;
5) Restore the masonry to the initial state of the project.

6.7 Continous Stops of the plant

If the system remains inactive for long periods, some precautions are required acts to preserve
the integrity of the components:
 Before resuming the exercise, check the lubrication of all parts that require lubrication,
replace the compressor oil, clean the glasses of the treatment unit and replace the oil;
 Check for rainwater into the hoppers concrete.
 Check the integrity of all components subject to wear.
