ATTENTION:
The work area must NEVER be cluttered with tools or other objects that
could cause hindrance. Nothing must interfere with the free movement of
operators.
In case of emergency, personnel in charge must be able to quickly access
the line unhindered. It is the operators’ duty to ensure that these
indications are complied with and report any failure to do so.
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.7
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
ATTENTION:
Personnel not working in the area must not stand in the work zone during
machine operation.
Maintenance technicians can work around and inside the machine only
after the machine has been set to “maintenance mode”.
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.8
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
This manual does not describe general safety aspects that should already be in
place in the factory to comply with the requirements for workplace safety.
However it is important to go over the main points to ensure that these are
overlooked in the manual and in the factory’s safety plan.
ATTENTION:
“Protection from risks starts with information and training of workers”.
Instructing workers
The Employer shall arrange for each worker to receive adequate instruction on:
safety and health risks connected with the company’s activity in general
measures and protection/prevention activities adopted
specific risks to which workers are exposed in relation with the work performed,
safety regulations and company rules
procedures regarding first aid, fire prevention and evacuation plans
Training workers
The employer will ensure that operators and maintenance technicians receive
adequate safety and health training particularly with respect to issues
concerning their role and specific duties.
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.9
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
- Trip hazard (only for models with access step for maintenance
of processing area)
- Residual risk resulting from the inability to supervise the work area (this
residual risk is managed by indicating the areas involved, chapter 2, and,
for maintenance operation, by means of signs affixed onto the machine
and the requirements described in chapter 4)
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.10
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
The machine is equipped with safety devices that prevent it from reaching
critical conditions that would lead to sudden failure and hazard for users.
Intrinsic safety is ensured by accurate design and sizing allowing large safety
margins, considering the high pressure levels that can be reached as a result of
incorrect operation by users or problems in the line where the machine is
installed.
The presence of an overpressure valve on the compression head, suitable
electric protection on the main motor, emergency pushbutton and protective
panel on the head, are the main safety devices present on the machine: these
devices are described in the following paragraphs.
The pressure limiting valve (1) has been designed and constructed by GEA
Niro Soavi for the protecting the machine in case of overpressure inside the
compression head as a result of the machine’s pumping action.
ATTENTION:
The safety valve is used for machine protection; pipes downstream of the
machine are only protected by a valve that may be installed in the line.
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.11
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
Operation
The valve has a ball which is kept in place by a spring; this spring will allow the
valve to open whenever the calibration value set during the final testing is
exceeded.
Spring preloading must never be changed to avoid modifying the valve opening
value, as this would affect the safety conditions designed by GEA Niro Soavi
and invalidate the guarantee; for this reason the preload adjustment nut is
sealed.
If the calibration value is reached the valve opens automatically and discharges
product via the outlet pipe;
Once the overpressure valve has closed, it is possible to increase the
homogenizing pressure again up to the desired working value, unless the
condition that triggered the valve has damaged it to an extent that it will cause
immediate stopping.
ATTENTION:
The discharge pipe MUST ALWAYS be directed downwards, to prevent
hazards for operators; the Purchaser is responsible for providing a
suitable product collection sump connected to drainage.
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.12
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
ATTENTION:
The discharged product must be disposed of properly, in compliance with
current regulations in force in the country where the machine is installed.
ATTENTION:
Triggering of the overpressure valve can cause damage to the safety
valve seal with consequent reduction of the opening value set during the
calibration phase. It might therefore prove necessary to replace the seat
and ball after a number of opening events, in order to restore the original
operating conditions.
Washing
Washing of the zone in contact with the product (with closed overpressure
valve) normally takes place during the machine washing phase (C.I.P.).
ATTENTION:
After triggering of the valve due to the calibration pressure having been
exceeded, the valve MUST ALWAYS be removed from its position and
cleaned manually.
ATTENTION:
Do not disassemble the valve body and do not remove the plastic cap. It
is prohibited to change the safety valve set value; doing so will invalidate
the guarantee and affect protection of the machine, of its components and
of operators.

switchboard as an emergency shutdown device, as shown in the figure below.
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.14
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
Master switch
Fig. 2.1.5.3.b
ATTENTION:
The position of the machine and its connection with the product line must
leave sufficient space to enable rapid, unhindered access to the
emergency pushbutton.
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.15
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
The compression head (1) is fitted with an additional panel to protect personnel
from the possible projection of machine parts and from the high temperature
that may be reached by the head.
ATTENTION:
Do not enable machine use if the guard is not in place and correctly fixed.
The guards must never be removed during machine operation.
The machine is fitted with cover panels (1) made of satin-finish steel sheet
which enables:
- protection of internal machine components from dirt, water or product soiling
- external cleaning
- protection of operators from moving parts, live parts or high temperatures
which could be a risk for the safety of personnel, in compliance with CE
regulations and safety standards in force in the country where the machine
is installed
2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.16
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
ATTENTION:
The machine must be operated EXCLUSIVELY with panels or guards
completely closed, to prevent the danger of operator injury, therefore it is
prohibited to open the above protection devices during machine
operation.
ATTENTION:
Ensure that ALL the panels are closed and blocked before starting the
machine, to prevent accidents; in handling the panels you should always
use the handles provided. Depending on the size and weight of the
panels, two people might be needed to remove and fit back the panels.
ATTENTION:
Before removing the protection panels the operators in charge of
installation and maintenance must set the machine to maintenance mode
by following the detailed instructions provided in chapter 4.3.1.3 in this
manual.
Cover panels

2C001E6C.DOC 2.1.17
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
A set of danger signs are affixed onto the machine to call the attention of
operators and exposed persons.
IMPORTANT:
The warning signs and compulsory action signs on the machine play an
important safety function; operators and maintenance technicians are
required to comply with the indications on these signs.
The safety signs on the machine have been applied as indicated in the figure
on the next page.
ATTENTION:
It is prohibited to remove warning signs and compulsory action signs that
perform a safety function.
Failure to comply with this requirement will invalidate the guarantee and
transfer all liability to the purchaser. The user is required to restore any
signs that might be accidentally removed or that are dislodged from their
position.

2.8. INSTALLATION
2.8.1 POSITIONING
The front part of the machine and the head require maintenance regularly.
We recommend leaving a suitable space in the front area to enable complete
removal of the head and, on the sides, if the main motor needs to be removed
using hoisting means (bridge crane or fork-lift truck).
It is important to keep the machine away from heat sources that could interfere
with the necessary cooling process, and ensure that no objects are obstructing
the flow of air.
Water drainage points should also be available to prevent flooding that could
affect the machine. In particular a drainage sump is needed in the safety
valve discharge area.
Lastly, it is necessary to prevent water ingress through the ventilation openings
of the machine.
ATTENTION:
The floor supporting the machine must be able to withstand at least 150%
of its weight, as indicated in the “Installation drawing”.

The type, dimension and position of the connectors normally used to connect
the machine to the production line are specified in the dimension drawing in
Section 1 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
The machine also includes (section 1 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS):
- water connection for lubrication of packs and cooling (max. hardness 8 °dH /
15 °fH; recommended chloride value < 25 mg/liter, max 200 mg/liter
- water drain pipe;
- (possible) connection for compressed air (for homogenizers provided with
air-operated control system);
- (possible) connection for steam (for aseptic versions)
- condensate drain from lubrication system;
- discharge grid for cooling air.
For the specific requirements of each machine, type of connections and fluid
specifications, please refer to Section 1 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
As far as the utility connections, we recommend providing on/off solenoid
valves designed to open at the machine start (if not already included in the
machine) to be placed at the machine’s utilities inlet ports.
In particular, the manual valves of the lubrication water circuit should remain
always open, in a position which allows controlling an adequate flow of water
for lubrication or production of enough condensate (for the aseptic version).
Keep in mind that excessive lubrication water can lead to flooding of the sump
where water is collected, with the risk of water going into the drive section and
polluting the lubrication oil; for this reason it is important to regularly drain any
condensate or water that may be found in the lubrication circuit, as described in
Section 4 - MAINTENANCE.
WARNING: For the machines provided with aseptic system, the Customer
shall be responsible to install a steam pressure reducer to protect the
aseptic system and ensure operators’ safety. Fluid specifications are
shown in Section 1 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
In case a pipe is used for the water drainage, when calculating the required
diameter and slopes, remember that water is discharged by gravity and not by
pressure. Provide an adequate degree of slope in the system to avoid water to
accumulate in the sump.
WARNING: For the disposal of waste water or cooling water, refer to the
specific regulations in force locally. No traces of lubrication oil or product
residues are allowed in the effluents disposed.
2C001E6C.DOC 2.8.4
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
Cooling air is discharged through grids, situated on the top of the machine,
controlled by a fan of suitable size for free discharge (not for all models).
In case the discharged air needs to be conveyed via ducts, please contact GEA
Niro Soavi's Technical Office for details.

2.8.5 INSTALLATION
to feed the machine use an infeed pump with delivery 1.2 times greater than
the rated flow in case of machines with 3 or more pistons, and 1.5 times in
case of machines with 1 or 2 pistons. Pump delivery must be calculated at
least over the minimum pressure required for feeding.
it is necessary to use a feeding pump for each single machine; do not install
two or more machines in parallel with one single feeding pump to prevent
dangerour pulsation interferences
the feeding line between the feed pump and the homogenizer or piston pump
must be direct, possibly without bends, and with a size equal to or greater
than the size of the homogenizer/piston pump, without section variations, to
prevent loss of load; the radius of curves must be as large as possible to
2C001E6C.DOC 2.8.6
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
prevent loss of load especially in the infeed stage and to avoid noise
problems at delivery.
we recommend you install a pressure gauge near the area where product is
fed into the homogenizer / piston pump in order to check infeed pressure;
this pressure gauge can be supplied as an optional by GEA Niro Soavi and
can be standard, with minimum contact or with continuous analog signal for
remote control.
if filters need to be installed on the feeding line, you must allow a clear area
at least 3 times the size of the pipe used; you also need to install a pressure
gauge downstream the filter to check actual infeed pressure and prevent
filter clogging and danger of cavitation of the machine. For cleaning
purposes we recommend installing parallel filters to be used alternatingly.
the pulsation damper must be installed in a vertical position; do not install the
damper so that the flow enters the damper directly, otherwise the damper will
fill up too quickly and become less effective as no air will be left at the top
if the feed pump is connected to a tank, ensure that no air is sucked in by the
suction inlet through the creation of vortices by fitting suitable internal
barriers to divert the flow; the feeding pump must have a net positive suction
head at all times
Never use the machine to fully drain the feeding tank, to avoid product
suddenly running out during operation under pressure, but provide at least
one level sensor to remove pressure (in the case of a homogenizer) and
stop the machine before the product being fed runs out
2C001E6C.DOC 2.8.7
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
the product treated must contain no air or gas, to prevent cavitation problems
in the machine. If the product contains air because it is very viscous or due to
previous processing phases, you need to remove the air using appropriate
deaeration equipment
the machine is fitted with automatic pumping spring valves; the load is
defined according to the type of valve and the characteristics of the product.
This means that if the machine has been stopped or is inactive, and the
feeding line is open and under pressure, you are able to check the flow of
product through the machine. To make sure there is no product flowing
through the machine when the machine is inactive, the user must provide a
cutoff valve for the feeding line upstream the machine.

The formula which relates the homogenizing pressures in a two stage system
(see figure 2.13.1) is the following:
Ptot = P1 = P2 + dP
where:
dP = P1 - P2 is the pressure difference between the 1st and the 2nd stage,
applied in the passage through the 1st stage valve.

During operation, the cooling water on/off valve (whether manual or solenoid)
should remain open.
An additional manual valve on the outlet of the exchanger has been provided to
control the water flow and obtain sterile condensate at a temperature of 40 to
50°C. This has the extra advantage of helping reduce any waste of softened
water.
The use of water – even when softened - for steam condensation inevitably
produces some deposits of lime in the exchanger.
Whenever a reduced exchange power is noticed - evidenced by an
insufficiently cooled condensation - a descaling of the aseptic system is
required.
It is impossible to predict the frequency of this operation, since the formation of
lime deposits depends largely on the hardness of the water available.
For more details on maintenance operations, see Section 4 - MAINTENANCE.

3.7.1.1 OPERATION
The valve consists of a ball maintained in place in its seat by a spring, which
allows it to open when the calibration set point is exceeded.
The spring loading should not be changed as this would modify the valve
opening value and cause the immediate forfeiture of the safety conditions
established by NIRO-SOAVI and the guarantee. Therefore a seal has been
applied to the spring load adjustment nut.
In the event the calibration setting is exceeded, the valve opens automatically
and lets the product flow out of the discharge pipe; it closes again when
pressure reduces below the opening value. This can be achieved by adjusting
the pressure regulating device until the valve is closing, or reducing the pump
speed in case of high pressure pumps.
Once the valve has closed again, normal operating pressure can be re-
established, provided the machine has not been damaged and the cause of
overpressure has been addressed.

3.7.1.2 CLEANING
The part in contact with the product is normally cleaned during the machine
washing (C.I.P.).
CAUTION: Do not disassemble the valve body and do not remove the
plastic cap. Changes to the safety valve setting are not allowed and shall
invalidate the guarantee and affect protection of the machine, of its
components and of the operators, unless a written authorization has been
obtained from Niro Soavi.

− Put the plunger inside the block cylinder, and fix it into the standard operating
position tightening the thread on the crosshead extension
− In case of use of clamp system, put the plunger completely flat against the
crosshead extension, and the clamp completely against the change of
diameter on the crosshead extension, then tighten the clamp with proper
screws (see figure 4.4.2, pos. A), using a tightening torque of 7÷8 N*m
ATTENTION: During assembly check carefully that plunger and clamp are
properly assembled and fixed in the correct position, and there is not
interference durino the reciprocating movement of the pistons. We
suggest to turn by hand the pulley bifore starting the machine in order to
verify the correct alternate movement of the pumping plungers.
− check that the position of the packing is correct (figure 4.4.3, item F)
− place valve cap back on (H), if it has been removed
− insert the spacer (D), press the valve cap (H see. Figure 4.4.9 or 4.4.10) to
overcome spring resistance (a screwdrive can sometimes be needed))
− assemble the flange (B)with the gasket (C)
− tighten the nuts (A) as specified in chapter 4.3, Table 4.3.1.
CAUTION: the packing spacer (D) can be hard to mount if the valve cap
has not been mounted correctly or if it does not move freely in its seat.
Make sure it is not blocked or press it down with a suitable tool (e.g.
curved diagonal pliers) while the spacer is being inserted.

Some of these factors - such as the peeling off of coatings on plungers and the
machine underfeeding - are likely to lead to an early deterioration of the seals.
Replacement is required when product leakage is noticed in the water sump;
however, if the machine is fed correctly, the processing cycle can be completed
without risk of contamination of the product itself.
For the replacement procedure it is necessary to disassemble the pumping
plungers, see paragraph 4.4.1.
To increase the life of packings special anti-extrusion and support rings can be
used (figure 4.4.14 items Z, W); these rings are made of high-performance
plastic. Normally two rings are used on each plunger: one (W) is placed before
the packing (F) on the side which is pressed against the front of the machine,
and one (Z) is placed immediately after the packing (F), before the bronze
packing washer (G); in some configurations washer (G) is not present.
These rings are also considered wearing parts and should be replaced regularly
to maintain perfect coupling with plunger, preferably when changing the
packings or when they are showing signs of wear in the inner diameter.
Refer to figure 4.4.14 and general drawing in sections 5 – SPARE PARTS
CATALOGUE.

When the grooves reach the external diameter, the homogenizing efficiency
collapses, therefore the component should be replaced either when the grooves
cover nearly 3/4 of the useful surface or whenever a reduced homogenizing
efficiency is noticed.
In some cases, because of extreme wear of the parts, the homogenizing
pressure cannot be achieved anymore, therefore the complete homogenizing
valve must be replaced.
Some local cavitation effects may sometimes create some craters or strong
wear path on the valve surface, therefore it is necessary to proceed with
replacement of the parts.
As far as the impact ring (figure 4.5.1 pos. C), it has the dual function of
completing the homogeneization by impact and protecting the body of the
homogenizing assembly from erosion.
Due to wear, a groove (S4) is produced on its internal surface, and good
performance is undermined.
We recommend replacing the ring when the groove is approximately 1 mm
deep.
CAUTION: the impact head and the passage head are manufactured from
a material whose hardness is suitable to withstand the abrasive action of
the product handled for a long time.
Whenever wear signs appear that may jeopardize the homogenizing
efficiency, working surfaces can be rectified to remove max 1 mm of
material: this can be done either at NIRO-SOAVI or at properly equipped
workshops.

The pneumatic actuator, used to close the homogenizing valve and achieve
homogenizing pressure, is connected in the bottom part to an
hydraulic/pneumatic system for dampening pulsations.
The presence of air in the bottom part of the pneumatic cylinder may cause
incorrect operation of the dampening system resulting in abnormal noise level
and vibrations of the homogenizing valve, particularly if the machine operates
with two homogenizing stages.
In this case you need to eliminate the air by pressing the pneumatic switch 3 or
4 times to apply and release pressure.
Please follow the specific instructions listed at SECTION 4 – Charter 4.10
“Pneumatic Plant”.
The homogenizing assembly used in the aseptic version is the same as the one
used in the sanitary version in terms of functional features; the only difference is
that the impact head shaft is flushed with sterile condensate used as barrier
fluid.
The homogenizing chamber body has all the connections with the system for
distributing sterile condensate, and the guide of the impact head shaft has
outlets for the condensate with relative gaskets, as shown in figure 4.5.7.

Maintenance (see figure 4.6.1) is limited to checking and possibly replacing the
gaskets (G) and (H), the ball (E) and valve seat (F); in some versions an anti-
extrusion ring is fitted between the seat and the O-ring gasket (G) to protect the
O-ring.
To remove the valve from its operating position you have to loosen the nuts (A)
then remove the complete valve body (B) and its flange (C); these two parts can
be separed once the two-part ring (D) is removed from its position.
Then remove the O-ring (H), the seat (F) housing the ball (E) and the O-ring
(G).
Make sure you do not misplace the ball (E), as the valve cannot work without it;
we recommend you always keep a spare seat and ball in case you need to
replace them.
Valve maintenance does NOT require replacing the spring.
Carefully clean the seat (F) from any product residues but take care not to
damage the sealing area.
If the sealing area between the seat (F) and the ball (E) is damaged or worn,
there can be product leaks and the valve can be triggered at a pressure value
lower than the valve setting; we therefore recommend you replace the seat and
ball.

ATTENTION:
All inspection and maintenance operations must be carried out by
qualified technicians and only when the machine is in
maintenance status, that is, with the MACHINE NOT IN
OPERATION; the power mains switch must be LOCKED IN THE
OFF POSITION (with a padlock) for the safety of personnel. The
procedure for placing the machine in maintenance status is
described in chapter 4.1.3.3 of this manual.
The elements of the drive system usually require only a visual inspection,
carried out with the machine not in operation, to check for possibile lubrication
oil leaks and, more importantly, for loosening of nuts, bolts, belt tensioning
components and reduction gear support parts.
Excessive movement of drive components, due to loosening of locking elements
caused by vibrations, can result in slack couplings and consequent breakage of
elements during machine operation.

The reduction gear does not require special maintenance precautions; you only
need to check the level of lubricating oil through the inspection hole in the
casing.
It is good maintenance practice to protect the seal rings with waterproofing
lubricating grease, and to protect the locking system on the shaft from the
effects of oxidation which would make it difficult to disassemble the reduction
gear, if necessary.
For reduction gears equipped with cooling coil inside the casing for artificial
refrigeration, the water circuit needs to be drained off completely if room
temperature drops below +4 °C.
For further information and instructions for disassembling the reduction gear
from the machine refer to the reduction gear manual, included in Section 6 –

Worn pulleys significantly reduce the life of belts, which can touch the bottom of
the groove causing slipping which provokes wear and superficial burning.
If the sides of the groove are hollow, the contact between the sides of the belt
and the pulley is not uniform, and the lower part of the pulley causes wear of the
lower edge of the belt, causing it to break prematurely.
Thus, it is necessary to check the state of wear of the pulleys and remove any
rust, grease or oil that may be present.

FIGURE 4.7.2.1
SELECTION OF BELTS
Use at the same time belts of the same make, of the same type and of the same
lot, since there may be differences both in size and in performance.
Moreover, it is essential not to use new belts with others that have already been
used, because of a different extension, adjustment to the grooves of the pulleys,
and differences in performance, which would considerably affect the duration of
the drive train.
In order to ensure correct operation and avoid premature breaking, the belts
must be stored without any noticeable bends and must not be exposed to
temperatures that are too high or too low, or to a high degree of humidity.

The drive belts should be assembled and tensioned in the following sequence:
During installation belts must never be forced with a tool into the pulley’s grooves
to avoid the risk of damage thus reducing the life of the drive.
To make this operation easier, simply reduce the distance between the pulleys.
Fit the belts into the grooves and rotate the pulley to facilitate insertion and
prevent damage.

ATTENTION:
All inspection and maintenance operations must be carried out by
qualified technicians and only when the machine is in maintenance
status, that is, with the MACHINE NOT IN OPERATION; the power
mains switch must be LOCKED IN THE OFF POSITION (with a
padlock) for the safety of personnel. The procedure for placing the
machine in maintenance status is described in chapter 4.1.3.3 of
this manual.
The ideal stretch is the lowest at which the belts do not slip under maximum load.
During the first 24-48 hours of running-in, check the stretch frequently; remember
that excessive stretch reduces the life of the belts and of the bearings that
support the drive.
Arrange for the stretch to be tightened as soon as any slipping occurs.
Belt slipping can cause overheating and create hazard particularly if the machine
is designed for operation in danger zones (explosion-proof version).
The following are two methods to identify the correct degree of stretching of the
belts; the first, which is easier, can be used when a new train of belts is installed,
or after loosening them completely; the second allows stretch to be checked even
during normal operations of servicing and control. The procedures of the
operations are described in paragraph 4.7.2.
Before stretching the belts assembled on the pulleys, trace two fine marks across
the back of one belt and measure the distance between them; they should be as
far from each other as possible but must remain on the straight-line of the belt.
Stretch the belts gradually after having them rotate for approx. 1 minute in
successive stages; at each stage, tighten the belts so that the distance between
the two marks has a percentage increase as shown in table 4.7.3.1, considering
the case of medium diameter pulleys.

TABLE 4.7.3.1
Measure the length of the free section "t" (figure 4.7.5) and apply to its half-point
a force P perpendicular to the belt, that causes a deformation of 1.6 mm every
100 mm. of free length:
The intensity of the force, in Newton, should be in the interval of values shown in
table 4.7.6; it is measured by means of a special dynamometer which is not
supplied.
In order to calculate the peripheral speed value it is sufficient to use the formula:
V = 0.052 X n X d (m/s)

OVERLOADS
Any overload shortens the life of the belts.
Check that operation is taking place under the initial project conditions, and that
no overloads occur due to wear or slipping and superficial burning.
PROTECTIONS
The drive should always be protected by a suitable guard, which not only protects
the operators but also protects the parts from dust or dirt and contact with foreign
objects which may cause serious damage to the system.
TENSIONING
Check and maintain the correct stretch of the belts, to prevent irregular
vibrations.
4C076E0C.DOC 4.7.12
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A
EXPOSURE TO HEAT
Check that the belts are not exposed to sources of heat; an exposure to
temperatures greater than 60°C will shorten their life.
WEAR
Check the condition of the sides of the belt: an anomalous wear may cause
slipping or excessive wear of the grooves of the pulleys.

Drive pulleys are usually mounted both on the input shaft of the reduction gear
and on the motor shaft using a “Taper-Lock” conical bushings.
With reference to figure 4.7.5.1, the procedure for disassembly is the following:
FIGURE 4.7.5.1
Assembly procedure:
- clean bush and shaft thoroughly
- insert “Taper-Lock” bush into pulley
- partially insert threaded screws into bores (A)
- mount the pulley on the shaft
- align the pulleys
- tighten screws A fully
If the motor pulley is not fitted with a “Taper-Lock” bush, to install or remove the
pulley use a suitable pulley extractor and threaded rod to mount the pulley on the
shaft, using the threaded bore on the end of it.

The type of construction, the high-quality materials used and the careful
assembly by highly-qualified personnel are a guarantee of excellent reliability and
durability.
Correct lubrication is fundamental for the life of the drive body and of its
components, so it is absolutely necessary to comply with the instructions given in
terms of recommended change frequency (Chapter 4.2), filter cleaning, level and
type of lubricant used (Chpater 4.9).
Under normal conditions the power end does not require servicing. Should you
notice abnormal noise levels, irregular machine operation or low pressure of
lubrication oil triggering the pressare switch, contact NIRO SOAVI’s Customer
Service to request technical service.

4.9. LUBRICATION
For topping-up and replacement use ONLY the oils shown in Table 4.9.1; table
4.9.2 indicates the capacity of the lubrication system for the various models.

TABLE 4.9.1
TABLE 4.9.2

For Food Grade oil we recommend the use of oil, as specified in Table 4.9.2.b
Marca Tipo
Shell Cassida GL220
Fuchs Rivolta Geralyn SF220
Klüber Klübersynth UH1 6
TABLE 4.9.2.b
The oil circuit inside the drive body is made with rigid or flexible pipes and keeps
oil under pressure to lubricate the crankshaft main bearings, connecting rod
bushings and connecting rod pins, to censure reliable machine operation and
durability of contact surfaces in the crank mechanism.
The machine is equipped with a pressure gauge on the front panel for
continuous control of lubrication pressure and a safety pressure switch set to 3
bar to stop the machine if lubrication pressure is insufficient.

The oil level needs to be checked every day, before the machine is started; the
oil should reach the level indicated on the sightglass located or inside the
machine on the crankcase or on the machine front panel. The oil level must be
checked with the machine stopped for at least 1 hour.
See for reference figure 4.9.2.
FIGURE 4.9.2
The start of the machine is causing the oil to flow into and fill the lubricating
circuit, then it is normal to observe a lowering of the oil level on the sightglass
during the operation of the machine.
If oil drops below the required level top it up through the orange filler located
inside the machine on the body cover.
To reach the fill you need to remove the side panel of the machine.
4C091E7C.DOC 4.9.5
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
PRESSURE CHECK
The pressure gauge located on the front panel is used to measure the pressure
in the lubricating circuit.
During the final machine test optimal lubrication pressure is calibrated under
steady operating conditions; this value is largely affected by oil viscosity and
temperature so when the machine is started pressure is usually high and then
tends to decrease and become stable as the machine warms up with operation.
If pressure drops too low at high temperatures this may be due to problems with
the cooling system of the water/oil exchanger (where used) connected with
scaling or very high water temperature.
The water temperature must conform with the values given in Section 1 –
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
The pressure in the lubrication circuit can be adjusted via the by-pass valve (F)
in the lubrication unit body (C) (figure 4.9.3):
FIGURE 4.9.3
4C091E7C.DOC 4.9.6
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
OIL CHANGE
The frequency of oil change intervals is given in the "Tables for Regular
Servicing" at Chapter 4.2.
Use only oil as specified in Table 4.9.1.
To change the oil (see figure 4.9.1):
- - prepare a reservoir to collect the oil, and of a size that is suitable to
contain the amount of oil found in the machine according to table 4.9.2;
- open the filling tap on the crankase cover
- open the drain valve and the plug (J) and let the oil drain out.
- once the oil has drained out completely, close the tap and the plug (J), and
pour in the new oil through the filler plug
- check the oil level through the sightglass.
4C091E7C.DOC 4.9.7
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
The condensate drain can be done when the machine is stopped for at least 4
hours.
To drain the condensate:
- Prepare a basin for collection and open the drain valve at the bottom of the
lubricating unit
- Water is heavier than oil, therefore it is collected at the bottom of the oil
tank; once the oil starts to pour out, close again the drain valve
- Check the oil level again and, if necessary, top it up through the filler plug
Presence of water into the oil may be caused by cooling water entering trough
the crosshead seals; it is recommended to check the surface of crosshead
extensions for scratches, and to replace the crosshead seals in case of oil
leakage or oil into the water, according to what is mentioned in paragraph 4.8.1.
If the intake filter is of the type "with disposable cartridge", it should be replaced
as often as indicated in the "Table for Regular Servicing", paragraph 4.2.
The filter is equipped with an internal by-pass valve: this opens when the
pressure drop due to clogging exceeds a preset level, bypassing the filtering
element.
- Remove the spin-on filter cartridge with suitable too (not supplied)
- Install the new filter cartridge after having lubricated with oil the gasket
4C091E7C.DOC 4.9.8
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
The intake filter housed inside the oil tank does not have a built-in by-pass. If
the filter clogs up the pressare drop through the filter will increase leading to
cavitation of the gear pump and pressure switch action. Cleaning frequency is
given in the “Table of Periodical Maintenance”, Chapter 4.2.
To clean the metal mesh intake filter (figure 4.9.1, item B):
− remove the oil tank as previously explained
− disconnect the tank (A) from the body (C) by loosening the retaining screws
and removing the filter (B) from the tank
− unscrew the filter (B) off the end of the suction pipe
− put it in a container with petrol or solvent for about 30 minutes;
− clean it with compressed air blown opposite to the filtering direction (i.e. from
the inside towards the outside).
The machine is equipped with a water / oil cooler which is not requiring usually
any maintenance. In case of use of hard water, it is possible to have problems
with clogging of the cooler because of calcium carbonates deposits, which is
reducing the heat transfer efficiency.
It is therefore necessary to replace the oil cooler if it is not able to reduce
anymore the oil temperature (usually the temperature difference between oil
inlet and outlet is in the range of 5 to 10 °C); in case the oil cooler is made of
stainless steel (optional) it is possible to clean it with suitable cleaning solution
to scale the tubing.

The force required to close the homogenizing valve and consequently achieve
the homogenizing pressure is applied through a pneumatic actuator using
compressed air on its upper part; the lower part of the actuator is connected
with the pressurized oil dampening system.
The dampening system is not installed on the machine when the pneumatic
valve installed is type NanoValve®.
The pneumatic actuator does not require any periodical maintenance but it is
recommended to protect it from extreme temperatures (which may damage the
gaskets) and corrosive fluids, as its body is made with Aluminium alloys and not
in stainless steel.
In case the pneumatic actuator is not working properly we recommed its
replacement; it’s anyway available upon request to Niro Soavi Spare Parts
Dept. the complete gaskets spare kit.
The scheme of the plant actually installed on the machine is given in Section 5 –
SPARE PARTS CATALOG with components list; you can also check the Flow-
sheet (P&ID) given in Section 1 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.

- Close the upper plug and connect a compressed air source to the quick
connection (M) to restore the pressure of 0,5 bar inside the damper tank
- Open the valve (J) and check if the air pressure is still at the set value of 0,5
bar
Pressure inside the camper tank cannot be higher than 0,6 bar when the
machine is stopped.
Oil into this circuit does not require any change but only refilling in case the
level is low.
If during the above mentioned procedures of filling up, or during the
homogenizing valve maintenance some air bubbles are present into the plastic
pipes, it is possible toeliminate the same by application and release of the
pressure to the actuator through the pneumatic switch (C), with machine
stopped and with the manual pressure regulator set to allow some air to go
through (not at zero).
The presence of air bubbles, anyway, cannot prevent the system to work
properly, even if the dampening effect may be sometimes reduced.
The adjustment of the throttle valve (E, H) allows to regulate the speed of the
homogenizing pressare raise.
Usually the setting of this valve is made during the machine test, in order to
avoid a sudden raise of the homogenizing pressure which may cause the
opening of the overpressure relief valve.
Before making any modification to the setting, please tae note of the original
setting on the scale in order to recover the original setpoint in case of need.
As general information the closing of the valve (H) is slowing down the pressure
raise, its opening is making it faster.

Machines in aseptic version are equipped with a circuit for the distribution of
sterile condensate used to flush the plunger aseptic chambers and the stem of
the homogenizing valve in order to prevent external contamination.
The distribution circuit and its components do not usually require maintenance;
if a heat exchanger for the produciton of sterile condensate is included we
recommend you periodically wash it to remove scaling which forms due to hard
cooling water.
Scaling reduces the efficiency of the exchanger and consequently reduces the
quantity of water required for steam condensation.
Cooling water should be softened to achieve a maximum hardness of 8 °dH /
15 °fH.
Washing operations are carried out when the exchanger is insulated from the
rest of the system using the supplied valves and circulating a descaling solution
into the cooling water side of the exchanger, at the concentration and
temperature indicated by the suppliers (e.g. caustic soda NaOH solution at 3%
and 80°C, or 2% nitric acid HNO3 at 50°C).
The heat exchanger and related tubing are made with stainless steel.
Use products that are suitable for use with stainless steel grade AISI 304 and
never use substances containing SALT (NaCl) and SULPHURIC ACID (H2SO4).
After each chemical cleaning, rinse the system with large amount of clean
water.
The aseptic system is equipped with valves for adjusting the flow of condensate
to the various point of use (item N, figure 4.11.1); these valves are calibrated
4c111e1c.doc 4.11.1
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
during the final machine test so we recommend you do not change these
settings.
FIGURE 4.11.1
These valves (N) can be used to adjust the backpressure inside the exchanger
(E), measured by the pressure gauge (K); to ensure proper operation of the
exchanger it should be set to 1÷2 bar.
Valves (C) are used to adjust the flow of cooling water so that the temperature
of the condensate flow is approximately 40÷60 °C.
ASEPTIC CHAMBERS
The aseptic chambers of the plungers only require replacement of the gaskets.
To avoid contamination, make sure you accurately clean and sterilize the
aseptic chambers whenever there are product leaks from the packings.

With reference to figure 4.11.2, the parts that need to be replaced are gaskets
(P) and (S) and any guide rings (T, U).
To remove the gaskets you need to disassemble the plungers and remove any
sealing elastic rings not shown in the drawing; refer to the exploded view in
SECTION 5 – SPARE PARTS CATALOGUE.

In order to limit the number of shutdowns during production, and the time
required for maintenance of the machine, we recommend you stock a set of
spare parts to replace elements which are normally subject to wear.
The number of spare parts to be stocked will depend on production needs and
on how important it is to avoid long shutdowns due to unavailable spare parts.
In specific, in case of homogenizing valves, the replacement at due time allows
to keep the homogenizing efficiency and consequently the quality of the
processed product.
NIRO SOAVI cannot guarantee that a given spare part will be in stock either at
their central warehouse or at the Dealer’s due to problems with material
availability or to special requirements for dispatch.
Please note that shipment is no guarantee of successful delivery and that
delays may occurr due to customs problems or miscarriage.
In any case NIRO SOAVI shall not be responsible for delays occurring due to
the shipment of spare parts.
