Mill material batch


The mill material batch must not contain any contamination like f.e. stones, metal or other materials which do
not belong to the formulation. Company NIEMANN recommends the use of pigments or filler material having a
very good quality.

Viscosity:
KREIS-BASKET-MILL®’ are suitable to manufacture products of low and medium viscosity (max.ca.5000
mPas), depending on the composition, flow properties, mixing tools applied and their size.

Pressure:
The water pressure for the cooling in the grinding basket should not exceed max. 3 bar.

i ATTENTION !
Cleaning the grinding basket

The grinding basket needs to be cleaned after the milling process and should
under no circumstances stand still with the product for a longer period (> 30 min).

The operator may under no circumstances let the grinding basket with the seal system dry
with the product.

We recommend to clean the grinding basket immediately after a batch or rather to put
it in solvent / detergent overnight.

1.3 Field of application

Only water-miscible or high-conductive materials can be handled because otherwise there could
occur an inadmissible electrostatic charging of the product during the dispersion process.

Division of the conductibility of liquids according to TRGS 727:


high medium low

 
conductibility of
liquids
10-8 S/m 510-11 S/m

Almost 90% of all usual solvents are high-conductive, nevertheless a sample of the product to be dispersed
should be tested regarding its conductibility in case of doubt because these may always
be multiphase mixtures.

Examples of low- to medium-conductive liquids:

Extract from TRGS 727 (April 2016), table 17

Conductibility [S/m] Division


Liquid Formula
(measured at °C) conductibility
Anisole C6H5OCH3 1 10-11 (25 °C) low
Benzine ca. 1 10-13(20 °C) low
Caprylic acid CH3(CH2)5CH2COOH < 3,7 10-11( - °C) low
Cyclohexanone CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CO 5 10-16(25 °C) low
Diesel oil (technically pure) ca. 1 10-13 (20 °C) low
p-Dioxan C4H8O2 5 10-13 (25 °C) low
Isovaleriansäure (CH3)2CHCH2COOH < 4 10-11(0-80 °C) low
Stearic acid butylester CH3(CH2)16COOCH2CH2CH2CH3 2,1 10-11 (30 °C) low
Carbon tetrachloride CCl4 4 10-16 (18 °C) low
Toluene C7H8CH3 8 10-14 ( - °C) low
Trichloroethylene CHCL = CCl2 8 10-10 ( - °C) medium
Xylol C6H4(CH3) 2 ca. 8 10-14 (25 °C) low

Thus electrostatic chargings / endangerings have to be observed separately.

1.4 Description KREIS-BASKET-MILL®

1.4.1 Introduction

1.4.2 Grinding and dispersion instructions


Generally all products for grinding must be pre-dispersed with Dissolvers. Observe the directions of dispersion
in the operator’s manual of our Dissolvers before. The quality of pre-dispersion considerably contributes to the
quantity of the mill bases and fineness of the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ®.

The viscosity and the flow behaviour of the milling base has to be accommodated to the grinding process. In
principle similar directives are valid as they are with agitator ball mills.
Best grinding results are reached with high viscosities. Low viscosity milling bases generate a turbulent flow
and as a result long holding times. To high viscosity milling bases avoid the acceleration of the grinding media
in the grinding basket even at high speed of the grinding disc. The result is a bad milling and a too high
heating of the product.

Friction-, impact- and shear forces originate in the grinding chamber dependent on the peripheral speed

The peripheral speed of the grinding disc and therefore the optimum acceleration of the grinding media
depends on following factors :

- Material of the grinding media


- Diameter of the grinding media
- Grinding media quantity
- Viscosity of the milling base

Generally the peripheral speed of the grinding disc should be between 13 and 17 m/s.

Example:
Grinding disc- in metres: 0.25 m x 3.14 x speed : 60 = peripheral speed in m/sec.

Following data are available as dispersion parameters:

- Speed
- Temperature
- Current consumption
- Grinding time

On the basis of these dispersion parameters the obtained product qualities can be reproduced at any time.

1.5 Grinding
As known KREIS-BASKET-MILL®s are mainly used in order to grind pigments or filler materials in fluids.
The aim hereby is the destruction of agglomerates and therefore the coating of each single primary particle
with a liquid film, wherefore high energies and peripheral speeds at the grinding disc between 10-17 m/sec
are necessary.

In order to achieve the aim the solid fraction inside the grinding material should be chosen so high that
corresponding shear forces can become effective.

In most cases it will be necessary to only insert a part of the liquid component belonging to the final recipe in
order to achieve a high pigment concentration for the grinding material with it.

1.5.1 Grinding/grinding time


Depending on the kind and quality of the used pigments and filler materials and effected energy
transmission – as well as the requested quality demands – the grinding time can normally take several
hours.

As soon as when the clockwise rotation of the adjusting button (in small steps) causes no more speed
increase one has to expect that the entire power of the motor has already been transferred on to the product
– also to be recognized by the fact that the indicator of the ampere meter has reached the red line.

Important for an optimal grinding is a sufficient viscosity, i. e. sufficient fraction of pigments and filler
materials inside the grinding material. The concentration is chosen correctly when one can see an evenly
rolling movement and agitation of the product with creation of a trombe.

Should material already spatter before the entire efficiency of the driving motor (indicator of the ampere meter
in front of the red line) the fraction of the liquid component inside the batch is too high.

Note:

When using too small batch sizes the entire driving power cannot be transmitted on to the grinding material.

1.6 Pre-Dispersion with a heavy-duty-Dissolver

IMPORTANT!

Principles
An important prerequisites for very good product finenesses and short grinding times is the pre-dispersion with
the Dissolver. Observe the accordant directions of dispersion (see Point 1.2) for KREIS-DISSOLVER on this.

Directions of dispersion

Preface on dispersion
Generally dissolvers are mainly used for dispersion of coloured pigments and fillers. With regard to the use of
dissolver, dispersion means the complete coating of primary particles with binding agent. To achieve this
result, certain prerequisites concerning the execution of the Dissolver as well as the composition of the milling
base have to be fulfilled.

The current dispersion zone is near the toothed-disc periphery.


Due to the differential speeds of the driven, highly accelerated mass and of the mass moving only slowly in
the adjacent zones an "inner friction" is created by means of which the agglomerates are separated and the
dispersion is induced respectively achieved.

When having launched the Dissolvers in the beginning of the 50s relatively small-sized toothed discs (ratio of
1:3 to the container) were proposed. These new machines already led to considerable advantages compared
to the systems (propeller agitators) known up to that time. Although better results could be achieved by
increasing the share of the solid matters (pigments) in the case of the production of the milling base these
possibilities were never the less limited because of the geometric conditions and the driving powers of the
dissolver. It also was hardly possible to exactly control the energy transfer or to proportion it according to the
quantity of the milling base. Different, often unsatisfying results were the consequence.
The higher the viscosity of the product is, the higher must understandably be the driving power to turn a
toothed disc of a certain diameter with a certain speed in the product. The higher the viscosity is, the smaller,
however, is the efficient zone of the toothed disc in which a circulation is still possible.

Direction for the viscosity of product


Supposing that a certain quantity of energy (here driving energy) has to be applied to affect a work (here
dispersion work), it is necessary that the milling base for the pre-dispersion with the Dissolver includes a
high percentage of solid matters. Also for the production of a product with a low final viscosity - like e. g. a
paint ready to use or a rust proofing paint - a highly pigmented (highly-viscous) "Dissolver - milling base"
for the pigment dispersion (wetting of the primary particles) is necessary because only in this stage it will be
possible to transfer higher powers onto the product. Only like this the sheer effect can develop.

The dilution for the milling with the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® by adding the remaining binding agent and
additives is only to be effected after the dispersion process because a product being too thin would not take
up any power and thus the perquisites for the production of a “high-shear” effect would not be guaranteed.

Addition of Components for the Dissolver-pre-dispersion


When producing products with a high final viscosity, like repair-spattle, it is common and often necessary to fill
in the whole liquid component and to effect the filling continuously, if possible while the machine is running,
without having product accumulations in the mixing container. Therefore the speed has to be increased when
the viscosity increases and because of the rising filling level, the toothed disc, too, has to be lifted. In most
cases this is possible by an hydraulic lifting of the whole machine head.

A discontinuation of the viscosity after the pre-dispersion is necessary in all cases for the processability on the
KREIS-BASKET-MILL®.

Heating of product at the pre-dispersion


Of course the energy transfer results in the heating of the product in the same amount. This positive side-
effect is necessary for an optimum dispersion. It was found out e. g. that in the case of dispersing titanium
oxide up to 70° C considerable improvements have been possible compared to a dispersing up to 60° C only.

Product quality by pre-dispersion with a heavy-duty-Dissolver


Lustre, development of colour intensity and store stability are also influenced positively. With subsequent tests
it could even be stated that white lacquers for the coating of the housings of fluorescent lighting fixtures -
solely produced with the dissolver - reveal a reflection degree of far more than 90%.
The same lacquers “premixed “with Dissolvers at a smaller application of energy and then finish-dispersed
with conventional pearl mills showed a much less reflection degree on the contrary.
Note:
We can thus conclude that mistakes made in the pre-dispersion - e. g. with "antiquate" Dissolvers without
control of the energy transfer (speed automatic) - cannot be regained by pearl mills later on, also because
then the friction during the pearl mill-grinding process affects the final product negatively (missing lustre).

Speed control / viscosity dependent regulation of the KDV


As it is known the power requirement decreases during the a. m. dispersion time due to the increasing
homogenisation and product heating. In order to guarantee the same standard from one batch to another, the
ammeter therefore would have to be observed and the speed re-adjusted steadily if conventional dissolver
(without force automatic) are used.

In the case of the KREIS-DISSOLVER®, the operating person is exempted from the permanent control by
means of the patented speed automatic and the new speed adjustment "Speed Control", also patented.
Observations and researches have revealed that optimum - especially equal - results can hardly be achieved
with Dissolvers without speed automatic because the permanent observation of the ammeter and the manual
re-adjustment of the speed cannot be effected, and neither be expected from the operating person. Contrary
to almost all other production and processing machines for paints, lacquers and chemical products, the
Dissolver has a special position, as it has to always be run at "full load" because only the steady load up to
the power limit guarantees the same product quality.

Indications for the procedure of optimal Dissolver-pre-dispersions

1. Level the binding agent (no additional solvent) into the container, but only part of the whole
formulation – about 40 % - to guarantee a highly pigmented paste for high sheer powers and optimal wetting
of primary particles.
2. Dive the toothed disc as far as possible into the binding agent filled into the container and start the
dispersion process.

3. After having mixed the liquid component for some minutes, fill in - whilst the machine is running slowly
in the beginning - the pigments evenly, i. e. neither onto the toothed disc nor all the way to the edge, but in the
middle of the moving, rolling mass.
Initially the solid matters shall be filled in as quickly as possible when the mass has much absorbing capacity,
whereat the speed is to be increased so far until a dust devil is created in the milling base and the hold flange
of the toothed disc is visible.
At the end of the “pour-process” the material has to be added a little bit slower if necessary in order not to
have accumulations of powdery bulk material.
Before further material can be added, the solid matters filled in beforehand must have been absorbed by the
milling base first.

4. During the addition of pigments and fillers the speed must be steadily increased and the toothed disc
lifted, i. e. adapted to the rising filling level.

5. After all fillers and pigments have been filled in and absorbed by the milling base, one shall disperse
with full power for 10 - 12 minutes, provided that the quantity of the milling base matches the power of the
machine.
The concentration binding agent / pigment / quantity of filler has been chosen correctly if the milling base
moves towards the toothed disc in a “rolling” way, a dust devil (“hopper”) is created, there is no splashing of
material even at full drive power (indicator of the ammeter always on the red line) and if a container cover
would not be necessary. After ending the a. m. pre-dispersion the mill base for the micro-milling has to be
diluted using BASKET-MILL so far that a good product circuit with the following mill process after diving the
mill basket is guaranteed.

6. The mill viscosity is adjusted correctly when it is obvious visible that the milling base circuits in the
container, which is guaranteed by the Doppel-Sog-Pumpscheibe.

Dispersion mistakes with a Dissolver-pre-dispersion


The following things often occur, if a. m. recommendations are not considered, i. e. if the milling base is too
low-viscous (thin):

- Milling base gets into turbulences and trends to splash!

- No possibility to load the driving motor fully.

- No temperature increase and creation of sheer effects, which are absolutely necessary for the
pre- dispersion.

- If mixing containers did not have to be clamped firmly using Dissolvers up to now, during the pre-
dispersion of milling bases, i. e. if one could dispense with clamping arms, this would prove that there is too
much liquid component in the base and the milling base would spill over at full drive power.
In the case of an optimum pigment / binding-agent concentration, a mixing container not clamped against
torsion would also turn around and - according to the experience made - in the case of high power even be
lifted under the toothed disc due to the flow.

The successful finishing of the dispersion can be recognised by the development of lustre on the surface of
the rotating milling base. Additionally the mass near to the wall does not rotate perfectly because of the
arising thixotropy, i. e. there will be a standing roll at the border. This fact is another proof for a successful
dispersion work.

Form of the mixing disc


We did not say "toothed disc" on purpose. It could be found out that not only the form of the disc is crucial for
the quality of the dispersion result, i. e. the discs must not absolutely be fitted with teeth. One could prove that
excellent dispersion results with products of a high end-viscosity can be obtained with totally even, extremely
big discs as well.
It is important that the full motor power can be transferred onto the product by the toothed disc by means of
which an evenly rotating movement of the milling base automatically has to be guaranteed.

Development of Dissolvers for optimal pigment-dispersion


Developments should be made in the interest of the users. The most essential, technical development of the
KREIS-DISSOLVER® is the patented speed automatic launched in 1968. This speed automatic has
guaranteed a self-acting, full load of the dissolver for the first time. Upon using the Dissolver according to our
recommendations the user is "forced" to choose the necessary, high-viscous phase for the dispersion.
In 1982 the high technical development-level of the KREIS-DISSOLVER ® was completed by the already
mentioned speed adjustment "Speed Control" - a one-button-operation for the functions start, stop, faster,
slower, speed pre-setting (with overload protection) and speed-limit control.
Note:
Optimal use of Dissolver results in lustre- and color-intensity development when shortening the BASKET-MILL
grinding times at the same time.

"Cold" dispersion
Often users ask for and sellers promise the possibility of a "cold" dispersion, frequently in connection with new
dispersion devices. With regard to the laws of energy transformation this, however, is not possible, as energy
cannot be destroyed, but only transformed.
For the use of Dissolver, this means, that the electrical energy taken from the power supply and used by the
Dissolver will be transformed into heat during the dispersion process. In this case the make and the mixing
tool have no importance. It is only important that Dissolver and tool must be able to transfer the whole motor
power onto the dispersion good and to move the product evenly in the container, i. e. to bring the product into
the known rolling movement. The whole container content always has to be in this stage of an even revolution

1.7.6 Danger of ignition by electrostatic charging of the grinding beads when filling the
grinding chamber

The grinding beads can be charged dangerously during the filling of the grinding chamber!

It concerns bulk goods in presence of flammable gases and vapors (also see TRGS 727, chapter 6.2 ff.)

That means that the grinding beads are to be inserted with a conductible container (e. g. metallic) in order to
avoid a dangerous charging. The direct contact of the container with the grinding chamber is to be ensured in
order to include the container in the potential equalization of the machine, as shown on the picture.

Caution!
The original containers in which the grinding beads are delivered must not be used fro the filling of the
grinding chamber! The containers are made of steel but the plastic bags are isolating!

This therefore concerns „conductible


and dischargeable containers with a
isolating inserted sack“ according to
the TRGS 727 chapter 6.2.3.2

Consequence:
Propagating brush discharges can
occur depending on the thickness,
specified resistance of the inserted
sack, its breakdown voltage and the
electrical characteristics of the filling
material.

Necessary procedures

Store, transport and move original containers of the grinding beads only within the not
explosion proof area.
Filling of the grinding beads into a conductive container for filling of the grinding chamber
necessary! This may also only be effected within the not explosion proof area!
Avoid unnecessary movements of the grinding beads inside the container during the
transportation of the grinding beads inside the ex-area. Wear conductive clothes and shoes.

Filling of grinding media


In standard case the free grinding chamber content of the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® is filled with grinding media.
The filling is done by means of the free split between the mixing shaft and the opening of the grinding basket.
During filling it has to be considered that the grinding media is filled slowly into the grinding basket. Close
before ending the filling turn the mixing shaft several times by hand to fill in the entire charge.

Note:
The grinding beads can be charged dangerously during the filling of the grinding chamber!
See chapter 1.7.6

The wear of the grinding media is very small and depends on the viscosity and the abrasiveness of the
product. The operation of the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® without a milling base provokes a high wear of the
grinding media.
Filling quantity of grinding see tables next pages.
The grinding media quantity depends on the necessary production qualities.
Over filling the grinding basket with grinding media leads to a strong wear at the grinding basket, mixing shaft,
grinding disc, separating unit and at the grinding media as well.

1.7.9 Product start


Lower the grinding basket slowly when using a very low viscosity product. This avoids that too much grinding
media is washed out of the grinding basket.

Note: Leaked grinding media are, however, is reabsorbed during the grinding process.

Dry running of the machine


When starting the KREIS-BASKET-MILL® make sure that the grinding basket is immersed in the milling base.
In the immersed condition the liquid level must reach at least the minimum-marks at the carrier lances.
Starting the machine without reaching the minimum quantity is not permitted. Avoid the dry running of the
machine otherwise extreme wear of the grinding media as well as their destruction is expected.

1.7.10 Peripheral speeds


The peripheral speed of the grinding disc is infinitely variable. The to be adjusted corresponding
peripheral speed depends on the grinding media materials and their quality as well as on the
viscosity of the mill base.
As standard the KREIS-BASKET-MILL® will be delivered with 2 speed ranges.
The speed range is listed in chapter 4.
These two speed ranges are activated by a key-operated switch at the control panel of the machine. The two
speed ranges are allocated to the corresponding grinding media materials and qualities (please refer to table).

Zircon oxide Ce/Ytt stabilized


Recommended by NIEMANN. A grinding time reduction of more than 60% can be achieved by the high
peripheral speeds in comparison to usual horizontal and vertical agitator bead mills. Abrasion or the graying
are hardly measurable. High service lives are already guaranteed by the manufacturers.

Zircon silicate/Aluminium oxide


These are ceramic grinding media of a medium quality. They are having a not low wear because of the low
hardness as well as due to the surface structure. By spraying during the production the grinding media do not
have any roundness and drop forms are resulting. The tips of the drops will be abraded on the occasion of the
first use. This can lead to clogging of the separation device.
These kind of grinding media also have inclusions of air, which can lead to grinding media break.

Glass
Glass grinding media are still only used limited because of break and large wear appearances. According to
experience glass grinding media are completely changed in a period of 2 to 6 weeks. After running times of
days grinding media is refilled. This material loss is caused by the abrasion and break.

Steel beads
Are very good grinding media because of their high piled density. The abrasion, however, grays light colors,
and for this reason steel grinding media are only mostly used in case of black.

1.7.11 Dry running of the machine


When starting the KREIS-BASKET-MILL® it is to be guaranteed that the grinding chamber is immerged into
the mill base. The liquid level in the immerged state has to reach at least to the minimum markings of the
support lances. A start of the machine without reaching the minimum quantity is not permitted. A dry running
should be avoided because otherwise an extreme wear of the grinding media as well as their destruction has
to be expected.

The operator is obliged to guarantee before every start of the mixing shaft that the grinding chamber is
completely covered with the product. “Dry running“ grinding media would extremely wear and could lead to an
ignition danger by the existing gas phase because of hot surfaces.

After ending the grinding process raise the grinding basket over the surface of the milling base and adjust the
speed of the mixing shaft to the minimum speed. The product flows out of the grinding basket. The “Dry
running“ has always to be avoided.

1.7.12 Cleaning of the grinding basket


Important!
Do not back the grinding basket out of the milling base with turned off main motor (mixing shaft does not
turn).

After ending the grinding process raise the grinding basket over the surface of the milling base and adjust the
speed of the mixing shaft to the lowest speed. This allows the left product to flow out of the grinding basket. A
dry running is always to be avoided.

Then lower the grinding basket into the cleaning container and clean the grinding basket with a speed of max.
300 1/min.

2.6 Explosion hazard through electrostatic charging


ATTENTION!
EARTHING of the container is necessary while using the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® , in
connection with flammable fluids, during mixing, charging and discharging. If the common
earthing clips with earth wire connection provided by the customer - according to DIN EN
60079-14 / DIN EN 60079-17– are not available, please order.

2.6.1 Danger caused by hydraulic energy


WARNING!
Maintenance tasks at the hydraulic system have to be effected by skilled persons only.
Before starting any maintenance at the hydraulic unit the system has to be depressurised.
This is also valid for single components of the hydraulic system. The system is under
pressure when the machine head is lifted (see [2.8]).
Hydraulic hoses should be exchanged in appropriate intervals, even if no defects relevant
for the safety can be recognised.

In case of pipe / hose line installation by the customer he must pay attention to proper and
protected against mechanical influences routing of lines!

2.6.2 Danger caused by hydraulic energy

Pipe break valve - Hydraulic system for lifting and lowering of the rotating shaft
The lead of the hydraulic fluid for the lifting and lowering movement of the machine top with a mixing tool,
takes place from the hydraulic pump via a pipe break valve, which is screwed into the hydraulic system
(hydraulic piston).
In case o f a break of a hydraulic tube or hose the ball valve of the pipe break valve would avoid a discharge
of the hydraulic fluid in parts of a second – due to the higher hydraulic fluid flow rate- and interrupts the dange
of a sudden sinking of the machine top.

After the repair of the feeding pipe the machine can be set into operation.

Advice:
At deficient aeration the air cushion can affect an involuntary close of the pipe break valve during the normal
operation “lower machine head” due to the higher flow rate.

Help:
De-aerate the system and set into normal operation, see function of the sketch in section 7 de-aerate the
hydraulic system.

2.7 Special dangerous spots

Danger of becoming entangled in the rotating shaft with one’s clothes and of being dragged

along! The rotating shaft may under any circumstance not be touched when turning! On

i principle, cleaning is to be effected only when the rotating shaft is not running!

Attention! Later on check all screws permanent for a secured fitting; else there is a danger of
impurity by dropping screws.

DANGER!
Machine head lifted
If the machine head is lifted, the hydraulic system is under pressure. For maintenance the
hydraulic system has to be depressurised. This means that either the machine head has to be
in the lowest position or, in case of raised machine head, the weight is safely born up by
supports as per the following sketch:

Clean friction linings in the collet chunks
Clean grease and resin-free clamping surface at the round container
Start of the machine with immersed grinding basket in a free-flowing product.
Attention:
Container can turn while starting the mixing tool immersed in a cold stiffen product.

2.7.2 Safety instructions container/machine


The machine must not be operated when in case of the machine top completely being let down/lowest position
of the grinding basket, a free space of 20 mm between the cap nut of the pump disc and the container bottom
is undershot.

2.8 Emission of deleterious gases and vapours

WARNING!
If solvents are used or other components the gases of which are deleterious, these
vapours can escape if covers are opened.
Take care of sufficient ventilation or a removal by suction.

2.8.1 Maintenance and upkeep


The maintenance and inspection prescribed in this manual has to be effected in due time.

WARNING!
For all maintenance, inspection and upkeep tasks the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® has to be

5 Erection, assembly, commissioning, put out of order

5.1 Erection site


The erection site must have a largely even floor and must resist a floor charge corresponding to the machine
weight. The switchboard (IP54) has to be mounted in a not-hazardous room.
Sufficient space for raw materials should be provided.

In halls with cranes the safety distances have to be considered according to the local prescriptions.
Transport the machine suspended at the fork lifter and set it onto the anchor bolts installed earlier.

Note: Before letting the machine down the enclosed steel sheets with the centring borehole should be placed
below the adjusting screws, thus allowing to adjust the machine perpendicularly later on.

Recommended operating sequences for the securing of a completely delivered machine with
mounted collet chuck or a machine column with extensions

Setting of the threaded rods before positioning the hexagon machine column at the place of erection.

Advice:
In order to observe the following recommendations there must be the right cranes and elevators.
Conditions must exist for an carefully setting of the machine column onto the threaded rods – without
damaging the thread.

1. Choose the right erection side. The distance between machine top and back wall (see data sheet of
the machine) should be 500 - 1000 mm . (To fix the wires the machine top can be turned.).

2. To appoint the cable conduit – hanging arrangement, coming from above for

a) 2 pieces cable to the main motor and


b) more cable to the terminal box, lateral on the machine top.

Cable conduit to the machine column, either :


 from the back wall by means of a cable channel to the machine column to the mounted angle
underneath the terminal box or

alternatively
 from below through the floor and the half-moon size opening in the base plate of
the machine column and further to the opening underneath the terminal box.
For this kind of wiring the steel plate with screws must be changed with the before
mentioned angle.

3. Place the template on the floor and drill 2 holes 10 mm ø into the floor
for securing the template by means of the plugs and screws

Notice:
The holes with the screws must be in range with the machine top. The crescent-shaped opening in the
template is located in the front to the left, when standing behind the machine.

4. Mark the position of the secured template.

5. Drill 6 holes into the floor by means of a hammer drill. The holes in the template respectively in the base
plate for anchor screws correspond with the diameter of the hammer drill. Depth according to a list
respectively our recommendations as mentioned

6. Clean drill holes - with Hilti pump for blowing out the holes for the mortar cartridges Type HVU or with
compressed air- and put in the mortar cartridges,

7. Setting of the anchor rods


Use wrench SW10 respectively SW13, Hilti-Adapter with ½“ square and hammer drill
to set the anchor rods.

ATTENTION!
A turning and beating movement is necessary to set the anchor screws.
Loosen the screws of the template, lift the template and underfeed to avoid a sticking on the floor ( or
remove carefully after having checked the centring of the anchor rods).

8. After a cure time of 20-90 minutes the machine or the hexagon machine column should be
transported hanging on a fork lifter and put carefully onto the anchor rods.
ATTENTION!
Before lowering the adjusting screws of the machine, base plate should point out 5 – 10 mm and during
lowering the small steel pieces should be put under the base plate.

9. Adjusting the machine column


Before underfeeding the machine has to be adjusted by means of a water level. This level can be put
either onto the lateral guide rod or the flange for the seat of the machine top.
Also every other shaped area in the region of the mixing shaft bearing housing, pulley, shaped cover or
other shaped areas can be used to place the water level.

10. Underfeeding the base plate with Cement-Mortar


Adjust the machine column – by means of the adjusting screws – in such a way that for underfeeding a
clearance of 10 mm still remains.
Recommended operation sequence for underfeeding with cement mortar
Clean the clearance underneath the base plate with compressed air.
Moisten the ground with ample water.
Do a mixture of flash drier-cement mortar and water and underfeed without interruption.
It should be strive for underfeeding the whole base plate to guarantee a good support in the region of
the hydraulic piston ( for lifting and lowering the machine top ).

Comment:
The needed underfeeding rate for a clearance of 1 cm between the base plate and floor
For base plate diameter up to 770 mm  approx. 5 Litre Mortar and
for base plates until 1050 mm ø approx. 10 Litre Mortar.

Securing of machines without extensions at the machine column

Setting of the anchor screws –alternative to before recommendation


In case of machine columns without collet chucks or other extensions above the 6 fixing holes in the
base plate, the drilling of the holes for the anchor rods can also take place after the positioning of the
machine at the erection side.
For this the base plate, the holes of which were drilled approx. 1 mm more in diameter than the hammer
drill - , can be used as a template.

Place machine or machine column at the erection side- see positions before

After a cure time of 40 – 90 minutes lift the machine column approx. ca. 10 – 15 mm by means of the
adjusting screws underfeed with wood blocks , turn adjusting screws back, put small steel pieces
(with countersinks) under the adjusting screws.

2. Push the forks completely together (to the middle). Then drive with the forklift truck from the front in the
direction of the eyebolt. Loop the rope or chain around the forks and secure it against slipping off to the
front with another rope.

3. Lift the load and simultaneously drive forwards slowly.


Attention: It has to be made sure that the rope (or chain) cannot slip off to the front when passing
over the tilting point.

When the machine is standing upright with the pallet and the transport supports, first take off the pallet,
then the transport supports.

4. Then transport the machine suspended at the fork lifter and set it onto the anchor bolts installed earlier.
Note: Before letting the machine down the enclosed steel sheets with the centring borehole should be
placed below the 3 pcs. adjusting screws, thus allowing to adjust the machine perpendicularly later on.

(Attention: Watch for wires)

5.8 Assembly instructions for electric installation

5.8.1 Deliveries and services on site:

1. Provision of a terminal featuring NH-fuse elements and a main switch in switch room (main distribution)

2. Assembly of the switchboard onto a wall that is not in a hazardous room or part of the plant.

3. In order to avoid that the lines slack, we recommend an assembly height which is at half the lifting
height from the clamping points of the machine’s top. (See attached drawing)
For further details refer to cable and assembly plan including dissolver picture.

* In case of machines with feed of main drive motor via frequency converter some protected lines are to be
laid, e. g. ÖLFLEX Servo 2YSLCYK-JB, Fabr. Lapp

4. Connecting slacking lines towards terminal box for main motor.


The rubber hose lines leading towards the main motor are to be guided straight through the trumpet
screwing in the terminal box and to be fed correspondingly.

5. Multicore feed and trip lines


Depending on equipment and design of the machine, there is in general a terminal box outside the
machine’s top meant for these lines in order to avoid having to lead them towards the contact point in
the machine’s top. For these lines, fixing the terminal box on the wall can be dispensed with, if
requested. They can be laid directly from switchboard towards terminal box, which is usually on the
outside of the top. These slacking lines require a fixing point on the wall or the building’s ceiling as well,
together with the lines towards the main motor.

5.8.2 Lines for connecting the machine’s column (fixed, immobile connection)

There are different ways of installing these lines as follows:

a) When erecting the machine on a ceiling, the upcoming lines are to be laid through the crescent-
shaped hole in the base plate of the dissolver’s stirring device and also through the machine’s column.
Fix them on the back of the machine’s column below the terminal box by means of the holding devices
meant for it.
The related cover plate is equipped with different M-threads so that twisting nipples, etc. can be used
for protecting the edges in order to facilitate leading the lines into the a.m. terminal box and to connect
them here.

In this terminal box, all electrical equipment is conducted on a connector block and clearly marked.
If local conditions and regulations permit it, conducting the lines can also be effected through a groove
which has been cut or mortised into the hall’s floor, if necessary by using steel tubes where the lines
can be pushed through later on.

b) Wiring the lines from terminal box on machine’s column towards back wall of the hall
For wiring the lines instead of the a.m. cover plate beneath the terminal, the also attached angle can
be used . This angle then also serves as support for a cable channel which is possibly to be
arranged to the back wall.

c) Delivery and wiring of rubber hose lines from terminal box (on the wall) towards electrical
equipment within the machine’s column or in case the dissolver had been equipped by the
manufacturer with terminal box mounted to the machine’s column. Number and design of lines
see cable plan*.

Delivery and wiring of motor lines. Lines required see cable scheme*.

When using machines with rotatable design for the alternately service of two, three or four mixing containers
corresponding precautions are to be made e. g. to fasten the hanging circuits directly centrical above the
machine.

Sideways to the machine are guide rolls for the conduits.

Switchboard design:
steel plate housing, kind of protection IP 55, make: Rittal.
For size of switchboard refer to order confirmation.
These switchboards are designed for the assembly in non-hazardous rooms.

5.8.4 Installation of cable between motor and frequency converter

Shielding actions serve the reduction of the blasted jam-energy (resistance to jamming of neighboring
machines and devices against external influence). Cables between frequency converter and motor have to be
laid shielded. The shield must not replace the PE-cable. Recommended are motor cables with four wires
(three phases + symmetric PE, that is separated in three parts), which shield is laid on ground potential
double-sided and extensive (PES).

Remark: The installation always has to be planned and executed according to the local laws and codes
that are to be applied
With longer motor cables than 100 m (328 ft) the requirements of the EMV directive can
potentially not be observed.

5.8.5 General
- Shielded cables are to be used.
- Avoid unnecessary cable lengths
- Lay cables on metallic grounded cable bearers resp. cable channels.
- Do not lay signal-, net- and motor cables parallel.
- Mind that there is biggest possible separation between signal- and motor cables.
- If a sufficient separation is not possible shielded cables are to be laid separate in extra, grounded,
metal cable channels. Or an additional separation (e. g. separating webs) is to be arranged.
- The distance motor cable to signal cable should be > 500 mms. See pic. 2

> 500 mm

Metal separating plate

5.8.6 Potential equalization


- Enough dimensioned potential equalization cables have to be used against potential differences
between machine parts
- Profile of the potential equalization cables > 10mms².
- Connecting points can be found at the machine top and at the machine column.

5.8.13 ID-Run of the frequency converter

Before the KREIS-DISSOLVER® is taken into operation it is necessary to do a “ID-run” of the frequency
converter, because the electrical situations (longer motor wires) can change.

During this “ID-run” the frequency converter detects the data of the motor for an optimum motor regulation.
Refer to the ABB ACS880 Owner's Manual in the supplied folder.
(Firmware manual chapter 6 group 99.14).

By changing of the parameters, a correct run of the machine is not guaranteed.

6.3 Function of the operating elements

6.3.1 "EMERGENCY-STOP"
Red fungi form button
When actuating this button (S1) the main motor is disconnected immediately - even at high speed. Before a
re-start the "EMERGENCY-STOP" button has to be unlocked by pulling.
6.3.2 Re-start after activating the "EMERGENCY-STOP"-button or after a power failure
For a re-start - with immersed grinding basket - first of all the turning knob „Speed setting“ (R1) has to be set
to „0“. Although this would not cause any damage to the machine or the frequency converter, it is
recommended to lift the grinding basket far to the top (still immersed) or totally out of the product.

6.3.3 Control voltage


Upon activation of the turn switch "Control voltage on" (S53) the machine can be started. This is indicated by
means of a signal lamp "Control voltage" (H10). The machine is switched off by means of the turn switch
"Control voltage off" (S52).

6.3.4 Turning knob "Speed Control"


for the functions:
Start / Stop (S4), faster / slower , pre-setting of speed (with overload protection) and
speed limit control.

Turn the adjusting knob (R1) to the right to start the main motor of the machine at the lowest impeller speed.
Further turning the adjusting knob the speed is increased (or decreased when turning to the left) according to
the set value.

Turn the adjusting knob to the left in order to switch off the main motor.

If a too high speed is set while the machine is under load, the regulating process, i. e. a further speed
increase, will be interrupted when the nominal current of the motor (full load) is achieved in order to avoid an
overload.

If the viscosity of the product decreases after a few minutes’ running time because of heating and progressive
homogenising the current consumption of the main motor will consequently decrease
as well and the speed will therefore be increased automatically.

The recommended speed adjustment (100-150 1/min more than at the beginning of the grinding process)
avoids, as a pre-set speed limit, an overflow of the mixing product at the end of the grinding process; because
of heating an increase of viscosity took place.
The parameter adjustment of the frequency converter was conducted before delivery according to the
experiences and instruction recommendations of the manufacturer.
A change of these parameter may only be effected by a skilled person after studying the programming hand
book ACS 880 carefully. (see manual II )

6.3.5 Ammeter
The indicator „main motor“ (B4) indicates the actual current consumption of the main motor (M1) (in amps).

6.3.6 Two-Hand-Operation
Out of the upper position, the machine top can only lowered by means of the two-hand-operation (S70/S71) if
the switch bridging raise is in the position null.
This safety control guarantees a safe operation without any danger for the operator, as he is locally bound
through the two-hand-operation.

6.3.7 Raise top


When actuating the button (S54) the machine top is raised so long until the limit switch stroke limitation (B17)
interrupts the lifting while the cover is lying and locked on the container rim. After unlocking the cover locking
and actuating the switch bridging raise (S69), the machine top can be raised with the button machine top raise
(S54) until to the mechanic stop (maximum possible lift).

6.3.8 Cover lamp "ON"


Actuating the button cover lamp on (S57) the lamp (H1) situated on the container cover is switched on . After
a period of time the cover lamp is switched off automatically.

6.3.9 Temperature measurement


This digital display (B5) indicate the temperature of the product inside of the container about the Pt 100 senso
(R2).

6.3.10 Time switch


The time switch (P3) is to pre-set the mixing time before or during the operation. Turning the switch at any
time, also during operation, can effect a readjustment of the set time. The main motor is stopped after the set
mixing time has run off.

6.3.11 Cooling manual operation


Actuating the switch (S72) the cooling is switched on or off during the main-motor is running. (Switch position
“left” manual operation On, switch position “middle” manual operation Off).
Is the cooling switched into automatic operation (Switch position “right”) the cooling water inlet is opened after
the adjusted temperature (limit value A) is crossed. Drops the temperature underneath the adjusted value the
signal lamp dims down and the cooling water inlet is closed.

6.3.12 Speed limit


To increase the lasting of the grinding medium the machine can be operated with two different speeds. The
key switch (S73) has two positions. Position “0” means that the rotating shaft turns with 70-800 rpm. Position
“1” means that the rotating shaft turns with 70-920 rpm.
The speed change can only be made when the main engine is off.

6.3.13 Bridging raise


For rising the machine top into the upper fixed position the function bridging raise (S69) must be switched to
bridge the initiator (B17 limit stroke).

If the temperature sinks under the adjusted temperature, the signal lamp switch off and the cooling line closed

6.3.15 Temperature control


Limit value A
Is the adjusted temperature (40° C) crossed the cooling water inlet is opened automatically. Drops the
temperature underneath the adjusted temperature the cooling water inlet is closed automatically.

Limit value B
Is the adjusted product temperature (65° C) reached the machine is switched off. Is the machine switched off
the cooling water inlet will be closed after the value limit A is reached

6.3.16 Value limit B


Is the adjusted max. product temperature reached, the machine is switched off.
If the machine is switched off, the inlet of the cooling line closed when the limit value A is reached.
The signal lamp (H12) indicates that the temperature is reached. Is the machine set into operation while the
value limit B is reached the speed of the rotating shaft is limited to the base speed until the product
temperature drops underneath the adjusted temperature value limit B.

6.4.3 Limit switch raise machine head under locked cover or vacuum
In case of closed or locked cover this limit switch (B17) allows the raising of the toothed disc up to this point.

6.4.4 Limit initiator for the height of the container


This limit initiator (B21) supervises the main motor, which can be switched on only if the pump disc is situated
inside the container. Before the pump disc reaches the container rim the main motor is switched off. The limit
switch can be adjusted to different container heights.

6.4.5 Limit switch collet chuck released


In case KREIS-BASKET-MILL® fitted with container clamping arms the main motor can only be started when a
container (or similar) is fixed in the clamping arms and tightened. The switching operation is effected by a limit
switch (S2) being in the rear of the clamping arms, opposite to the operating side. (This switch is accessible
from the side to the rear of the clamping arms.)

6.4.6 Solenoid valve cooling water


This valve (Y16) opens or closes the cooling water inlet.

6.4.7 Solenoid valve lower machine head


When pushing the buttons (S70/S71) the machine head is lowered by means of the valve (Y1). In case of a
power failure the machine head remains in the actual position. For lowering by hand a button is placed on the
valve, which lowers the machine head when actuated.

6.4.8 Cover lamp


The cover lamp (H1) is to illuminate the inside of the container.

6.4.9 Temperature measurement


This Pt 100 sensor (R2) is necessary to monitor and control the temperature of the mixture inside the
container. A signal to the Measuring value capture is available.

6.4.10 Proximity switch drip tray


If the proximity switch (B10) switches the lowering and lifting process of the machine head is not possible.
The proximity switch is not active as soon as the drip tray is moved into the final position aside.

6.6.2 Loss of beads

The escape or rather the loss of the grinding media from the grinding basket can have diverse causes. The
following points have to be checked one after the other:

1. The bar sieve is clogged on the bottom of the grinding basket.


When the bar sieve is clogged, a circulation of the product through the grinding basket is not possible. In
this case the beads will float out of the grinding basket. Furthermore, the lip seal which serves as grinding
media separation can be damaged so that in the area of the lip seal further beads can escape.

The cause for the clogging of the bar sieve can for instance also be a fast drying product or respectively a
product that hardens quickly. At these products it is absolutely necessary that immediately after the grinding
basket is moved out of the product for a container change, a cleaning container or the like is placed under the
machine so that the grinding basket can be plunged into liquid again.

For checking if the bar sieve is free, the grinding basket can be driven out of the product. When the product
runs out of the grinding basket offhand, then the sieve is not clogged. Furthermore, this can be checked by
driving out the grinding basket of the product at low speed. If no product comes out at the sieve, this is also a
sign that the sieve is clogged.

2. Damage of the radial seal through foreign particles or the like.


In this case please proceed as described in chapter 1 – proceeding for demounting / mounting the radial seal

3. Viscosity of the product


A high viscosity of the product can lead to an insufficient movement of the beads in the grinding basket.
A too high viscosity of the product is given when no product runs back from the container wall to the middle of
the grinding basket when the basket is plunged in.
The viscosity has to be reduced or to be adapted then accordingly.

6.7 Adjustment of the limit switches

6.7.1 Altitude initiator adjustable for different container-filling-level

The altitude initiator(41) in the machine column is accessible through the round mounting opening or the back
door (flap) and must be adjusted so that the control current-circuit will be interrupted before the toothed disc
reaches the upper container rim.
Thus it will be impossible to start the main motor before the machine head is lowered (toothed disc immersed
in the container).

Attention:

The initiator has to be adjusted to the different container-filling-level

The switch point is adjusted in the factory before delivery. Should it happen, however, that the motor couldn’t
start by the button "I" when the machine head is lowered, the switch point of the altitude initiator (41) might
have been adjusted too scarcely.
In order to check or renew this adjustment the machine head has to be lifted or the altitude initiator on the
square rod to be put downwards so far that the initiator lies underneath of the stop-ring of the guide column.
Operation distance approx. 8 mm.

6.7.2 Limit switch in the clamping arms


In case KREIS-BASKET-MILL® fitted with container clamping arms the main motor can only be started when a
container (or similar) is fixed in the clamping arms and tightened. The switching operation is effected by a limit
switch being in the rear of the clamping arms, opposite to the operating side. (This switch is accessible from
the side to the rear of the clamping arms.

By the arrangement of the cup springs being beside the limit switch it is only possible to actuate the limit
switch with the adequate tension. This adjustment is made in the works and does not generally need to be
altered.

A possible replacement of the switch can be carried out with no trouble from underneath through the opening.
The limit switch is to be so adjusted in such a way that a safe switching-in takes place.

7 Inspection and maintenance


In order to keep the machine in good working condition and to ensure the proper function it has to be
inspected and maintained regularly and repaired if necessary. The following details have to be taken in
consideration without fail:

Skilled persons with a corresponding formation and qualification may only affect maintenance and
repair tasks.

Inappropriately effected maintenance and repair may lead to a breakdown of the machine, personal
injury and damages in material.

Inspections should be effected by especially instructed people only.

Maintenance and repair of the machine is to be effected during standstill only. At this aim the main
switch has to be turned to "0". The main switch has to be secured against an inadvertent restart by
means of a padlock.

In case protective coverings have to be detached for maintenance purposes these have to be refit
carefully before the machine is reset to operation.

When inspecting the machine sufficient distance should be kept to moving parts in order to prevent any
dangers.

The intervals for the maintenance are listed in a table [ see 7 ]

For any inspection, maintenance or repair task a firm and safe foothold of the operating person has to
be made sure.

For tasks at the machine head a ladder in good condition has to be applied, which may be leaned
against the machine at the intended places only ( secured against slipping )!

The operators should take care that greases (lubrication) or oils do not get onto the floor. Cloths
polluted with grease and oil have to be disposed of according to the legal regulations.

If it should be necessary to start the machine from time to time to effect the work properly at certain
parts of the machine, a superintending person has to be designated to take care of a special
supervision under consideration of additional precautions to take. It has to be made sure in particular
that movements can be stopped immediately in case of danger.

7.3 Changing the narrow V-belts and retightening them

Figures refer to the drawing below.

Drive belts must only be used in an electro statically conductive form.


(cf. ISO 1813 or BGR 132 Section 3.1.5)

1. At first loosen back cover of the machine top with screws (16) and remove cover.

2. Loosen large fastening screws (2) of the motor adjusting plate (5). In front turn the straining screw (3) to
the left for 5-10 times.

3. Remove the narrow v-belts.

Increase the tension of the narrow v-belts - very important:

4. Place the new narrow v-belts

5. Turn the straining screw (3) to the right and tighten the narrow v-belts.
Notice: Tense the narrow v-belts very tight to avoid a slipping under full load.
After an operating time of about 20 to 30 hours the belt tension should be checked again.

4. Fasten the large screws of the motor adjusting plate

5. Afterwards annual control and increase the tension of belts (about 5 - 10 times to the right).
Very important: In case an unquiet movement occurs after years only upon heavy load of the machine,
accompanied by creaking and variation of the speed we experienced that this is always caused by
narrow v-belts that are not sufficiently tensioned.

7.4 Test of the narrow v-belts and re-tightening

Maintenance advice for KREIS-DISSOLVER® with drive by means of a frequency converter:

Necessary tools und appliances:

1. Fork- or ring wrench to loose the screws of the upper rear cover of the top.

2. Fork- or ring wrench for 8 screws of the motor adjusting plate.

3. Allan key SW 17 or fork- or ring wrench SW 36 for v-belts straining screw.

4. Gates, Type Tension Tester, Product Nr. 7401-0076 for adjusting the v-belts tension according
instructions.

Tighten the narrow v-belts of the main drive and test the tension of the belts

For a trouble free operation of the KREIS-DISSOLVERs ® the tension of the narrow
v-belt is of great meaning too.

To avoid a too low or a too much tension of the narrow v-belts a proved measuring instrument, make
Gates, as mentioned before, for testing the belt tension is available.

We recommend the following work routine:

5. Remove rear cover of the top after loosing the screws or move forward and secure with at least
2 screws auxiliary against dropping.

6. Lightly loose 8 large screws of the motor adjusting plate.

7. Straining screw - at the rear side of the machine top


- for tightening the v-belts turn clock wise,
- for loose the v-belts turn counter clock wise,
- while the motor adjusting plate with motor is moved.

Preparation for measuring the v-belt tension with the above mentioned Gates Tension Tester:

8. move lower (bigger) rubber ring, so that a rate indicated in cm or inch at the end of the description can
be read off the rubber ring.

9. move upper (smaller) rubber ring quite left towards the


housing (rate: 0 kg or 0 pounds).

10. for testing the belt tension put the tester preferably in the middle of the f.e. second belt from above
(referred to the support points of the belt – see sketch too).

11. Press the belt (with force onto the round rubber buffer) so far from the inner side to the outside until
the adjusted rubber ring is even with the tops of the remaining belts. (see picture).

12. Read the measured force at the smaller rubber ring which correspondingly moved. Beneath this small
rubber ring a tension force of 3,0 – 4,5 kg (.7 - 10. pounds) should be visible.

13. Repeat tightening or eventually loosen so often until the before mentioned rate is reached.

14. Re-tighten 8 large screws (see item 2) and also tighten the straining screw a little bit (item 3).

15. Re-place cover of the machine top and fix it with screws.

7.6 Checking the toothed disc

Problem: Vibrations when starting the machine

Trouble Check mixing tool (toothed disc) for wear (detritions).


Start the KREIS-BASKET-MILL®

shooting: and while increasing the speed at intervals check whether the machine runs silently over the
whole speed range. If vibrations are noted stop the machine and dismount the toothed disc.
Then start the machine again as described before without the toothed disc.

Cause: If the machine runs quietly and smoothly without the toothed disc then there is an unbalance
because of an uneven wear of the disc.

Remedy: Exchange the toothed disc or in case of a slight wear re-send it to company NIEMANN for
control and repair if possible.

Maintenance
intervals: The before-mentioned measures should be effected every three months or every six months
depending on the rate of utilisation of the machine. In case abrasive materials, quartz powder,
granulate for roughcasts and the like are mixed, the check has to be made at shorter intervals

7.7.3 How to modify the adjustment of the hydraulic valve („raise“ - „lower“)

The listed item numbers refer to the hydraulic chart and the photo of HAWE valve in the annexe.

Hydraulic cylinder and piston

The hydraulic cylinder is installed in the guide cylinder, which can be seen when the machine head is lifted, so
that the hydraulic muff and the hydraulic piston are placed downwards.

Pipe break protection

At the side of the bottom of the hydraulic piston, which is formed as a tube, there is a screw thread M22x1,5
for a pipe break protection with a screwed joint to which the hydraulic hose is connected.

Valve unit („Lift“)

By pushing the button „lift“ the hydraulic lifting of the machine top with the toothed disc is provoked.

During the pumping the hydraulic oil is led to the hydraulic cylinder through the connection (P) and a return
valve and then through the exit (A).

The return valve prevents that the machine top is lowered.

In the highest position of the machine head a further lifting is prevented by

a) a stop ring, which is screwed on at the lower end of the thick extending
guide cylinder and
b) a stop edge at the hydraulic piston inside the hydraulic cylinder, which is installed -
as mentioned before - in the guide cylinder.

When the above-mentioned stop devices are reached and the button „lift“ is activated, the pumped
hydraulic oil is led back into the hydraulic tank through the adjustable overflow valve (Ü) to the exit (R), which
causes a rattling noise. In our factory the pressure control valve (2) and the overpressure are optimally
adjusted so that a perfect lifting of the machine head is guaranteed.
The adjustment also considers the additional power for the lifting which is necessary because of the flow
conditions and the suction between the toothed disc and the container bottom between the dispersion
process.

If there is a default of the function „lifting“ while the stirrer is running in connection with the suction effect
mentioned above, and if it there are no problems with this function while the stirrer is standing still, it is
possible to remove the problem by turning the screw of the pressure control valve (2) one or two times. An
excessive throttling, however, would prevent an overflow of the hydraulic oil when the machine head is lifted
so that there would be no rattling noise and the motor would be killed.

In this case, let the button immediately go because otherwise the thermal excess current release relay in the
electrical switchboard would stop the motor.

Security measures for works at the hydraulic system

Before loosening the tube or hose connections at the hydraulic system, the machine head must be lifted by
600 to 800 mm and supported by pieces of squared timber, which are to be placed between the guide bush
and the flange of the extended guide cylinder. The pieces of squared timber must be carefully fixed at the
guide cylinder by means of fastening straps or a stable cord. Danger see (2.8).

Function „lowering“

When operating the button „lowering“ a solenoid valve of 24 volts is activated which opens the return valve
and provokes the lowering of the machine head. When letting go the button, the machine head remains in
the actual position.

In the meantime, the oil of the hydraulic cylinder flows through the adjustable flow control valve (DR) through
the exit (R) back into the hydraulic tank.

7.7.4 Adjusting the lowering speed:

The manufacturer adjusts the lowering speed. In general, it is not necessary to change the adjustment.

The hydraulic valve is installed in the machine column. The lowering speed can be adjusted by the throttle
screw (4a), which is protected by a bow.

Raise the machine head and actuate the button "lowering" with the aid of a second person.

Carry out the adjustment by turning the adjusting screw (4a) while the head is lowering. Left turn causes a
faster and right turn a slower lowering.

7.7.5 Bleeding the hydraulic system


The indicated item nos. refer to the drawing in [ 7.2 ].
1. Loosen the screws (16) and remove the top cover from the machine head. Weight
of the cover: 10 kg. Be careful when removing it. A second person is required.

Warning!
When bleeding the hydraulic the machine head will slightly sink. Take care of
a firm and safe foothold. Effect the work from stepladders, platforms, or the like.

2. Put a box spanner (14 mm across flats) onto the bleed nipple (27) and push the bleed tube
through. The bleed nipple (27) is situated slightly recessed in the machine head, in the top of the
extension part of the piston tube. (The before-mentioned tool is included in the delivery.)

Warning!
The hydraulic oil is under high pressure.

3. Attach the bleed tube and raise the machine head by 20 to 30 cm. Loosen the nipple slightly by
means of a box spanner turning it to the left and catch up the hydraulic liquid coming out of the hose.

4. Close the bleed nipple when the liquid comes out free of air bubbles.

7.7.6 Adjusting the pressure control valve:

Using the lower adjusting screw, the pressure control valve (2) is to be so set, that when the machine head is
raised against the stop, the hydraulic motor continues to run freely and pumps the hydraulic fluid back into the
tank via the pressure relief valve.
Normally, an adjustment is not necessary.

Should the hydraulic motor not run freely with the machine head raised against the stop, the lower adjustment
screw of the pressure control valve (2) is to be turned to the left until the motor starts again.

Over adjustment will result in the machine head rising slower or not at all when the valve is actuated in the
direction "raising".
In such case re-adjust the screw to the right.

11.1.2 General information


The KREIS-BASKET-MILL® has been designed, manufactured and checked using the standards and
regulations general valid in the European Union and has left the factory in a perfect condition concerning
safety regulations.
In order to preserve this condition and to guarantee the safe operation the user has to observe the instructions
and warning remarks which are fixed at the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® and as they are included in this operator’s
manual.

Use of inappropriate mixing containers

The machine must not be operated when in case of the machine top completely being let down/lowest
position of the toothed disc, a free space of 20 mm between the cap nut of the toothed disc and the
container bottom is undershot.

The use of mixing containers with low free space dimensions can only be permitted after the explicit approval
of the company Niemann in exceptional cases.

As warning note the following sign will be placed well visible at the machine column for the operator.

The machine operator has the responsibility to check the suitability (height container bottom) of the
mixing container before he starts up the machine or to use mixing containers only released for the
use with this machine.

The KREIS-BASKET-MILL® may only be operated by instructed and trained persons and is permitted for the
operation by only one person. The operator has to know and to observe the corresponding valid instructions
and norms of the explosion protection. Furthermore application or use-specific features of the possible
installation / installation control or the site have to be observed if necessary.

11.2 Field of application


KREIS-BASKET-MILL® are designed for the production of medium- to high-viscous products up to
a viscosity of 500.000 cps (500 Pas), depending on the composition, flow behaviour, used mixing organs and
their size.

Only water-miscible (high-conductive) materials can be handled because otherwise there could occur
an inadmissible electrostatic charging of the product during the dispersion process.

Fax +49 (0) 54 28/9 50-1 99
E-Mail: info@niemann.de

Electrostatic charges/dangers have to be observed separately.

Solvent accumulations during cleaning processes must be avoided as they can lead to high charges
of the liquid.

The maximum product temperature may not exceed 85°C.

Application fields are the fine dispersion of inorganic and organic pigments and other powder components in
liquids as well as dissolution of plastic, soluble components. The initial product is the liquid component. A high
concentration of solids in the batch pre-supposed, the dissolution and/or dispersion process takes place within
a very short time.

Additional remarks for the safe operation

The mixing tool may also be operated outside of the liquid or in the liquid surface if a danger by electrostatic
charge can be excluded by the mixing medium. Process-related influences, for example, have to be excluded,
like electrostatic charge by the mixing process or mechanical sparks by foreign particles in the mixing
container. It has to be guaranteed that an incitement to improper high vibrations of the mixing shaft is
excluded.

It is absolutely necessary to avoid a product spout at the toothed disc (mixer) or at the mixing shaft
evoked by processing long-stapled products or those products having an inclination to harden by
dispersion. Otherwise, it could come to a break of the mixing shaft through the developing large
balance error.

Foreign particles may also not be inserted in the mixing container during the filling.

11.2.1 Application

Category 2 Type of protection : II 2 G c II B T 3

Within the ATEX-directive this KREIS-BASKET-MILL® is assigned to the appliance group II category 2. The
appliance is designated for the use in areas in which gas and air mixtures, which can explode, exist.
According to EN 13463-1 and prEN 13463-5 the appliance is assigned to the type of protection „c“ with the
maximum surface temperature of 200°C or the temperature class T 3.

11.2.2 Commissioning

The KREIS-BASKET-MILL® may only be operated in a condition according to instructions. The


installation has to be included in the potential compensation in principle.

11.2.3 Filling of grinding media


In standard case the free volume of the grinding chamber of the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® is filled with grinding
media up to approx. 80%. The filling is done by means of the free split between the mixing shaft and the
opening of the grinding basket. During filling it has to be observed that the grinding media is filled slowly into
the grinding basket. Close before ending the filling turn the mixing shaft several times by hand to fill in the
entire charge.

11.2.4 Filling quantity of grinding media


The grinding media quantity depends on the necessary production qualities. In standard case a filling level of
80% of the free volume of the grinding chamber is adequate. (see Table ). Over filling the grinding basket with
grinding media leads to a strong wear at the grinding basket, mixing shaft, grinding disc, separating unit and a
the grinding media as well.

Electrostatic chargings when working with liquids


By filling and emptying containers with liquids, by pumping over, agitating, mixing and spraying of liquids, but
also when measuring and sampling as well as by cleaning work liquids or the interior of containers can charge
dangerously.

ATTENTION!

EARTHING of the mixing container is necessary

KREIS-BASKET-MILL® for the use of


movable mixing containers are equipped by
us with earthing tongs + earth connection
supply according to VDE 0165/2.91.

These earthing tongs have to be imperatively


used. The operator has to take care to fix the
earthing tong in such a way that there will
imperative be a metallic contact and thus a
derivation of the possible electrostatic
chargings.

11.3.2 Ignition danger by contact of falling down screws with the mixing tool
All screws, which can have contact with the rotating mixing tool or the mixing shaft by falling down, are
secured by us against self-loosening. This is achieved by glueing together with the following adhesive:

WEICONLOCK AN 302-43 medium-hard

Picture: Exemplary view under the container cover

If corresponding screws are loosened by the operator, for example for maintenance work, these have to be
secured again against self-loosening afterwards. The operator of the installation has the complete
responsibility for the observance of this measure.

The movable mixing container is firmly clamped and centred by the clamping arms. Additionally a clamping
lever with guide eye is installed at the machine column. The guide rod runs in this guide eye. The guide rod is
mounted at the machine top. Guide eye and guide rod secure the machine top against torsion (taking on of
the torque). The clamping arms and guide eye / guide rod guarantee that the toothed disc is in the centre
above the container. The clamping pressure of the container clamping arms is inquired by a safety limit switch
so that a start of the mixing shaft is only possible when the mixing container is firmly clamped.

11.3.4 Control measures

11.3.4.1 Oil-level in the store tank of the hydraulic installation


By the supine position of the machine during the transport low leakages at the motor flange, filling sockets etc.
are not excluded. After the erection of the machine the oil-level has to be checked in the store tank. The
possible missing oil quantity has to be filled up.

11.3.4.2 Oil change intervals


It has proved to be sensible and economical to take a sample (1 L) from the bottom of the tank in
intervals of approx. 5 years – above the return opening – and to let it test regarding the usability by
the oil supplier.

11.3.5 Installation of the mixing shaft

The mixing shaft is delivered with a fitted internal race of a roller bearing.

1) Remove transport lock of the larger v-belt pulley – in front of the machine top – by the nuts on the
threaded rod and pull back the pulley a little bit. Do not loose the bearing cover and leave distance sleeve
inside.

2) Change the eccentric ring made of aluminium against the assembled lower bearing cover of the bearing
housing and fix it with two screws only.

3) Screw aluminium cap onto the thread of the mixing shaft if this was not done before the delivery of the
mixing shaft.

4) Keep ready the threaded rod with eye bolt as well as a traction rope and a corresponding device above
the mixing shaft bearing housing – for the pulling in of the mixing shaft – for example by using a fork-lift
truck with only one fork.

5) Hydraulically lift the dissolver machine top a little bit and position the mixing shaft vertical underneath the
bearing housing – on a flexible „spring“ base – and then screw the above-mentioned rod with the thread
into the fitted aluminium cap of the mixing shaft from the top through the bearing housing.

6) Carefully pull in the mixing shaft into the bearing housing by means of the above-mentioned traction rope
and the lifting device until the cylindrical end with the channel (centering pivots for the pulley) jut out in
complete length as well as also the projection opposite of the bearing cover.

7) Carefully lower the machine top and the fork lift truck simultaneously and support the mixing shaft by the
above-mentioned flexible base and take care that the mixing shaft will not carry the complete weight of the
machine top. Remove traction rope, threaded rod and aluminium cap.

8) If it is impossible to pull in the mixing shaft into the seat of the upper ball bearing because of insufficient
tractive power the following is recommended:

9) Screw the added device for pulling in the mixing shaft and mounting of the pulley (three-piece) onto the
threaded stem instead of the aluminium cap, pull over the distance sleeve and pull in the shaft until the

11) Mount the large washer and tightly screw down the pulley with the delivered nuts or fixing screw.

Note!
A mixing shaft falling into the mixing container leads to mechanical sparks and hot surfaces because
of the driving power transmitted by the mixing shaft. Thus this case should absolutely be avoided.

The fixing threads / screws of the mixing shaft are either secured against self-loosening by gluing with
WEICONLOCK AN 302-43 (middle-hard) or by a form-locking protection by a securing sheet
depending on the execution variant.

11.3.8 Installation of the agitator

The upper pump disc flange is provided with two carrier pins. Screw on this upper flange onto the thread of
the mixing shaft. The pump disc and the lower pump disc flange are to be mounted in such a way that the
carrier pins engage into the borings. The pump disc and the lower pump disc flange are fixed by these carrier
pins.
Screw on the cap nut onto the thread of the mixing shaft.

Picture: Principle sketch of the fixing of the pump disc

Mechanical sparks by the mixing tool


A potential ignition source by a mixing tool, which loosens itself during the operation, can only
occur if this one has been installed defectively, because the mixing tools of KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® are
constructively designed in such a way that all fixing threads tighten theirselves by the forces occurring during
the operation.

If the mixing tool (toothed disc) is installed professionally according to the above-mentioned instructions there
can be no ignition source by a loosened mixing tool or which hits the container wall.

11.3.9 Test of the narrow v-belts and re-tightening

11.3.9.1 Maintenance instructions for KREIS-BASKET-MILL® with frequency converter drive

Necessary tools and appliances:

 Fork or ring wrench to loose the screws of the upper rear cover of the top.

 Fork or ring wrench for the adjusting screws of the motor adjusting plate.

 Allan key or fork or ring wrench for v-belt straining screw.

 Gates, type Tension Tester, product no. 7401-0076 for adjusting the v-belt tension according to the
instructions.

11.3.9.2 Tighten the narrow v-belts of the main drive and test the tension of the belts

For a trouble-free operation of the KREIS-BASKET-MILL ® the tension of the narrow v-belts is also of great
importance.

To avoid a too low or too much tension of the narrow v-belts a proved measuring instrument, make Gates, as
mentioned above, is available for testing the belt tension.

We recommend the following work routine:

1. Either remove the rear cover of the top after loosening the screws or move it forward a little bit and
secure it with at least two screws auxiliary against dropping.

2. Lightly loose the adjusting screws of the motor adjusting plate (not the fixing screws of the motor).

3. Straining screw – at the rear side of the machine top


- for the tightening of the v-belts turn clock wise,
- for loosening the v-belts turn counter clock wise,
while the motor adjusting plate with the motor is moved.

Measuring the v-belt tension with the above-mentioned Gates Tension Tester:

4. Move lower (bigger) rubber ring so that a rate, indicated in cm or inch at the end of the
description, can be read off of the rubber ring.

5. Move upper (smaller) rubber ring quite left towards the housing (rate: 0 kg or 0 pounds).

6. For testing the belt tension put the tester preferably in the middle of the, for example, second belt
(from above) (referred to the support points of the belt – please also refer to sketch).

7. Press the belt with force onto the round rubber buffer so far from the inner side to the outside until the
adjusted rubber ring is even with the tops of the remaining belts (please see picture).

8. Read the measured force at the small rubber ring which correspondingly moved. Underneath the
small rubber ring a tension force of 3,0 – 4,5 kg (.7 - 10. pounds) should be visible.

9. Repeat the tightening or possibly also the loosening so often until the before-mentioned rate is
reached.

10. Re-tighten the adjusting screws (please refer to pos. 2) and also tighten the straining screws (pos. 3)
a little bit.

11. Replace the cover of the machine top and fix it with the screws.

11.3.10 Replacement intervals of the bearings of the mixing shaft bedding


The operator has to take care that a replacement of the bearings is made to avoid mechanical sparks by
bearing breakdown. The following replacement intervals are to be observed:

Upper and lower bearing location


The bearings of the lower bearing location (fixed bearing) reach substantially lower service life than the
bearings of the upper bearing location. Since it makes no sense to define separate exchange intervals for the
bearings, the shorter service lives of the lower bearing locations indicate the exchange intervals.
