TAB. 07
By special maintenance (or extraordinary) we mean all the activities aimed to maintaining the
conditions of use and operation of the equipment with various types of intervention performed
exclusively by the manufacturer’s technician.
The keg with the powder dye gets to the dissolution unit through the rollers A; when it reaches the sensor H, the
roller stops, the robot E picks up the keg from the roller and moves it inside the dissolution’s tank B ; here the
solution is decanted.
At this point the washing noozle does the first keg’s cleaning; the keg will be then positioned inside the tank C;
here it is washed, dried and then transported and positioned on the roller D by the robot E.
The rollers are equipped with photocells which allow the control of the container’s position; when the robot E
moves the keg in front of the photocell G, it can’t receive any signal from the reflector G1, so the keg is ready to
be picked up.
While the keg is washed and dried inside the tank C, the tank B is closed and begins to dissolve color. When the
dissolution phase is ended, the obtained product is sent to the distributor through the pipe F; at the end of the
product’s sending phase, the machine does a rinse to clean tanks and pipes.
The dissolution unit is now ready for a new working cycle.

Entrance roller: photocell B senses the presence of the keg and activates the roller. When the keg
reaches the sensor A, the roller stops. The keg is ready to be picked-up by the transportation robot.
Parking roller: when the photoelectric cells D senses the presence of the keg in an unloading position,
the cylinder G is activated; the blocking bar F raises blocking the containers positioned on the rollers.
The containers blocking system has been studied to unload the weighing kegs one by one : when the
weighing machine requires a new container, the blocking bar is lowered allowing the unloading of the
keg and is raised again when the photoelectric cell E senses the presence of the subsequent keg.
Both rollers are activated by motors C.

The robot is used to move the containers containing dyes to dissolve. The robot takes the container
that arrives from the dosing machine and places it inside the dissolution vessel; at this point the empty
container is rinsed with water. The robot takes the container and places it in position inside the washing
and drying vessel where it is cleaned and prepared for reuse. When the drying phase is finished the
container is positioned on the exit roller or in the storage.
The drawing robot is operated vertically by the brushless motor A (connected to the related reducer B)
to lift and lower the keg; the plate C is equipped with three pneumatic cylinders D that attach to the
container and allow the lift. Two of these cylinder are equipped with sensors E.
The carriage robot, operated by motor F and the related reducer G, move along the dissolution station
sliding on two guides.
The brushless motors are equipped with absolute encoder, that allow the correct positioning of the
robot for its operations.
The container for the pouring of product is positioned by the robot inside the rotating ring A. When the
container is in position, the cylinder L close the vessel’s lid; the position of the vase’s lid is controlled
by the sensors H. Then the cylinders B activates two steel pivots C that stops the container blocking it
between the shaft of the cylinder and the rotating ring, allowing the rotation of the container and thus
the pouring of the dye. A level probe M check the level of the water in the dissolving tanks.
Between the vessels are situated two steel plates D that collect the drip from the opening lid. The
discarded water is sent to the drain E.
The washing vessel is equipped with a fan F that dries
the container after the washing phase (the steel tube
for air emission G is equipped with a lid that opens
automatically during the drying phase). There are also
two photoelectric cells I that check the presence of the
container.

The lids of the vessels are equipped with a closing system consisting of a pneumatic clamp A; the steel
bracket B, activated by the clamps pneumatic cylinder, lowers when the lid closes exerting a pressure on
the edges of the lid ensuring closure. The position of the bracket is controlled by the proximity sensor C.
The motor D, complete with reducer, ensure the rotation of the container. Between the support of the
cylinder E and the reducer, two discs with cams F are applied on which there are some positional signals.
The first series of signals skims the proximity sensor G and allows the constant control of the containers
position (washing and pouring position), while the smoother disk allows the sensor H to control the
depositing or removal position of the container.
The sensors I control the position of the cylinder rod (container block enabled-disabled).

The water inlet unit consists of: A1 and A2 two manual ball valves to open/close the water inlets, B two
temperature sensors, C two filters to block possible waste, 1 -2 two pneumatic valves to open the water inlets/
outlets automatically (see Fig. 15), flowmeters to check the quantity of water to put into the tank for the refilling
phase.
Line A1 is used for hot water inlet while line A2 is used for cold water inlet.
The pneumatic valve 1 is used for the cold water inlet to the dissolving tank B (fig. 03) while the valve 2 is
used for the hot water inlet.
The pipe 3 is connected to the water manifold (fig. 17) for the water feeding to washing tank C.
We suggest cleaning the filters C (fig. 14) periodically to avoid possible waste deposits that could obstruct the
entry of water jeopardising the functioning of the system.
Fig. 13 Flowmeter
The flowmeter is a compact version of flow measuring system composed by a transmitter and a sensor. If during
the measurement an error happens, it is immediately shown on the display of the transmitter.
The measuring system distinguishes between two types of error: system errors that comprises all the device errors
as communications or hardware errors, and process errors that comprises all the application errors (for example
empty pipe).

Fig. 14 Water manifold n°1
The hydraulic system is comprised of a centrifugal pump and a series of pneumatic valves that manage the
dissolution phase, the recycling and washing of the vessels.
The pneumatic valve 1 is linked to the nozzle of the washing tank to wash the kegs;
The pneumatic valve 2 is linked to the washing sphere of the washing container;
The pneumatic valve 3 is used to empty the hot water that does not reach the required temperature into a drain;
The pneumatic valve 4 is linked to the nozzle of the dissolution vessel to wash the container;
The pneumatic valve 5 is linked to the washing sphere of the dissolution vessel;
The pneumatic valve 6 is linked to the nozzle to refill the dissolution vessel.
Connection 7 is linked to the pneumatic valve to wash the out line (valve E in fig. 17), while connection 8 is linked
to the pneumatic valve to wash the product recycling line (valve F in fig. 17).
Water arrives from the inlet to the collector through connection 9.
C E
The recirculation system is composed of a centrifugal pump A and a series of pneumatic valves linked to each
other.
The three-way valve B is linked to the emptying system to send the water used for the washing of the recycling
system to the drain (washing is at the end of every dissolution cycle).
The three-way valve C is linked to the distributor for the passage of liquids, obtained during dissolution cycle.
The three-way valve D is linked to the vessel for the recirculation phase; this phase allows perfect dissolution of dye
thanks to the continual movement of the right and left flux (the movement of the flux happens a number of times
according to the programmed time schedule).
The pneumatic valve E receives water from connection n.7 to activate the washing of the outlet line of the
distributor.
The pneumatic valve F receives water from connection n.8 to activate the washing of the recirculation system.
The pneumatic valve G blows compressed air (blowing phase) inside the supply tube to the distributor to send
liquid where it is needed.
Level sensor H signals the minimum level of liquid present inside the vessel (the sensors indicates lack liquid once
the product has been sent to the distributor).
The centrifugal pump used has the following characteristics: kW 4 2850 revs/min The lid is made of stainless steel
316L with feeder attachments DIN 11851, opposed double mechanical seal, open propeller.
Stationary part mounting: make sure that the bevel (or chamfer) and the housing are absolutely clean and free
from ragged edges and traced of working. Dump the housing and the stationary gasket with alcohol, glycerine or
a compatible liquid. Press the stationary part into the housing using a suitably covered stopper, mounted on the
spindle of a sensitive drill or small press.
Rotary part mounting: make sure that shaft is smooth, clean and free from sharp edges. Polish the shaft if
necessary with a fine abrasive cloth (about 400 grains). After having damped the shaft with alcohol, glycerine etc,
mount the rotary part turning the seal with a gentle motion opposite to the spring’s winding. Make sure that the
two lapped faces come into contact. It is harmful to put grease, oil, and other similar substances between the seal’s
faces the which must be absolutely clean.
