ANDRITZ SPROUT has paid great attention to production and design to make our
products as safe and reliable as possible.
Should you, however, get problems with your ANDRITZ SPROUT product, we kindly ask
you to contact your supplier or ANDRITZ SPROUT A/S.
Should you have any remarks regarding our equipment and/or this manual please contact
us at the below addresse.
DESIGN
The ANDRITZ SPROUT Micro Fluid System - MFS - is designed for addition of small
liquid quantities to feed pellets and crumbles.
Ultrasonic
transmitter
Radar tower
Filter
Spray chamber 2
Fat container
Liquid container
The MFS pre-bin is used to level capacity fluctuations occuring at start/stop of the pellet
mill, varying cooler discharge speed and sudden cooler emptying. These capacity
fluctuations must be levelled to make the weigher system work correctly and avoid
fluctuations in dosing pump speed causing inaccurate dosing quantities per ton feed. In
normal production the pre-bin level must be approx. 50% to secure against fluctuations.
An ultrasonic transmitter continuously metering the level is placed at the top of the pre-bin.
The signal from the ultrasonic transmitter is used in the control to keep a reasonably level
of approx. 50% in the pre-bin.
The ultrasonic transmitter must be placed so that it has a free view to the bottom of the
pre-bins. At the same time it must have free vision. i.e. not product must be lead through
its range of visition and cause erraneous signal. The ultrasonic transmitter is placed in a
tower outside the pre-bin, so that it does not get in touch with the product if the pre-bin is
filled to the top. In the tower it is possible to turn the ultrasonic transmitter to the side to
find the best position.
The pre-bin sides and corners must be designed to ensure that the product slides out
continuously and does not stick in the corners, even when there is a high content of
crumbles. The optimum design has 2 horizontal sides and 2 sloped sides.
Normally a full level indicator is placed at the top of the pre-bin, signalling to the control to
stop the plant, if the pre-bin is full. An empty level indicator is placed at the bottom of the
pre-bin signalling that the pre-bin is empty in case the ultrasonic transmitter fails due to
dust. The empty level indicator is also used to signal to the control if some product is still
left in the pre-bin from the last production, so that a new finished product for another silo
is not started until the previous finished product has been conveyed to the silo in question.
CELLULAR FEEDER
The cellular feeder is designed to ensure a product flow of even thickness and width over
with weigh plate in the weigher housing placed immediately after the cellular feeder.
The cellular feeder includes a cellular wheel which gives the desired material quantity on
the outlet determined by the rpm. of the wheel.på The purpose of the wheel is to obtain a
defined material thickness and width at the outlet from the wheel. The cellular wheel can
be dismantled for cleaning of wheel and chamber.
Weighing chamber and spray chamber are built together as a unit. The weighing chamber
consists of a sloped weighing plate mounted above a loadcell. The product falls from the
cellular feeder and slides down the weighing plate at a speed of approx. 2-3 m/secs. A
radar measuring the product speed down the weighing plate is placed above the weighing
plate. The weight metered by the loadcell, the speed metered by the radar and the length
of the weighing plate are used to calculate the topical flow and thus ensure correct liquid
dosing.
The spray chamber receives the material flow from the weighing chamber. Up to 10
nozzles can be installed on the weighing housing. The liquid is sprayed on either by
2-matter nozzles (mixture of liquid and air) or by ordinary flat nozzles depending on
quantity and viscosity. The nozzles are adjusted so that the spray fan matches the width
of the material flow. It is possible to mount a second spray chamber (II) end to end with
the spray chamber allowing the use of 10 nozzles more. Weighing chamber and spray
chamber have large access doors for cleaning.
To avoid air in the plant the liquid container must be placed at the same level and the
pump nozzle unit and preferably higher. Determined by the load signal the unit supplies
correct liquid quantity via flowmeter to the spray chamber. The distance (height) between
MFS/nozzle unit and pump unit is limited by the pump pressure.

The vertical distance from MFS to the pump must as a maximum be 20 metres, and the
length of the horizontal piping must as a maximum be 30 metres.
The liquid viscosity and density, vertical distance from pump to MFS and horizontal length
of piping is decisive for the dimensioning of pump and flowmeter.
To avoid air in the system the liquid containers must always be placed on the same floor
as the pump unit and preferably higher.
When a formula has been selected on the computer, the pump (2) starts pumping liquid
from the liquid container (1) through the flowmeter (3), through the recirculation valve (4)
and back to the liquid container (1). The nozzle outlet is placed before the recirculation
valve (4), which causes that the pressure at which recirculation is working also will be the
pressure in front of the on/off valve (5) before the nozzle. When the weigh plate signals
that product is coming through the system, the recirculation valve (4) will close and the
on/off valve (5) before the nozzle will open and liquid will be sprayed on the product .
Air is supplied to the 2-matter nozzle at the same time as the on/off valve (5) opens. The
solenoid valve (6) opens and air is supplied to the nozzle at correct pressure through the
reduction valve (7).
The pump system for oil/fat spray consists of a complete liquid cabinet (1) containing
pump, flowmeter and all necessary equipment for pumping oil/fat. The nozzle system is
designed with 6 nozzles (5) with individual on/off valves. The valves are all placed on a
manifold (6), in which a pressure transmitter (4) is also placed. In the same manifold a
recirculation valve (3) is also installed.
When a formula has been selected on the computer, the pump in the liquid cabinet (1)
starts pumping liquid from the oil/fat tank (2) through the recirculation valve (3) and back
to the oil/fat tank (2). When the weigh plate signals that product is coming through the
system, the recirculation valve (3) closes, and the on/off valvel (5) with the nozzle fitting
the topical liquid flow opens. Hereafter the manifold pressure (6) is monitored. If the
pressure exceeds 3 bar, a nozzle a size bigger is chosen. If the pressure is below 1 bar, a
nozzle a size smaller is chosen. In this way the pressure in front of the topical nozzle is
always kept between 1 and 3 bar, which ensures even distribution of liquid on the product.
It is very important to remember a filter in the liquid pipe, max. mesh size 0.5 mm.
Immediately upon receipt the supply is checked for transport damages and missing parts.
Any damages and shortshipments are reported at once to ANDRITZ SPROUT A/S. From
receipt until installation the mixer unit must be stored in a suuitable placed protected
against the weigher.
HÅNDLING

LIQUID ADDITION
The spray chamber nozzles are connected to the pump plate byØ10/Ø8mm stainless
steel AISI316 pipes or by Ø10/Ø7mm PFA hose (item1).
Air connection to the nozzle is made by a Ø6/Ø8mm air hose (item 2).
Minimum 4 bar at
maximum oil/fat quantity
The spray chamber nozzles are connected by flexible hoses (item 5). The hoses must as
a maximum be 3 metres long.
If oil/fat with a high melting point is used, heating coils must be installed.
Spirit level
1. The door is opened.
3. Alignment is done by placing a spirit level across and along the weighing chamber
bottom next to the loadcell and adjusting the MFS unit by means of the 4 bolts at the
bottom of the frame.
5. The MFS unit is adjusted up/down by means of the screws (3). When the MFS unit is
level, the nuts (1) the lock nut (2) are fastened, and the MFS unit is fastened to the
floor.
Height adjustment: ± 50 mm
3. The loadcell (3) is demounted by loosening the screws (4). The transport screw (7) is
fastened to avoid oil leaking from the loadcell.
5. The loadcell is fastened and must be left for 3 hours before it is used, so that the
loadcell oil can settle.
6. The transport screw (7) is removed, and the screw point is cleaned with white spirit.
The screw is remounted with a space of 1mm under the weigh plate mounting
surface. If the transport screw is screwed in more, it will shut off the 2 loadcell
aeration filters (8) hidden under the plastic hood (9).
7. The weigh plate (1) is mounted by fastening the screws (2). The distance between
the dosing unit outlet (6) and the weigh plate (1) is adjusted so that the distance is
0.5mm. This is done by loosening the screws (5) and adjusting with a ruler at both
sides. There must not be any resistance.
o
8. The weigh plate (2) must have the same slope – 30-36 as the dosing unit outlet (6).
o
Normally, it should be possible to use a slope of approx. 32 to horizontal. If stops
occur, the slope is increased.
Ruler
1. Push the cellular wheel in over the shaft. It may be necessary to jerk the wheel to
make the spline get into mesh with the shaft.
2. The door is closed. The two springy pressure pieces must be adjusted, so that the
pressure piece ball can be pressed in, when the bearing is placed randomly on the
shaft. The door is turned, so that the balls gets into mesh with the keyways of the
shaft and brings the inner bearing ring in rotation. This is checked.
2 springy
pressure
pieces
IMPORTANT:
THE SPRINGY PRESSURE PIECES MUST BE LOCKED WITH LOCKTITE OR WITH
A LOCK NUT.
The nozzle can be adjusted forwards and backwards. The screw (s) is loosened and the
distance between the nozzle and the spray plate may vary:
max. 430mm
min. 330mm
The nozzle must have such a distance to the spray plate, and the air pressure is adjusted
so that the spray angle covers the width of the material flow ~ 500 mm. The spray surface
must be horizontal.
It is important to keep the air pressure at an absolute minimum. The air is adjusted by
adjusting the air pressure down to 0. The air pressure is adjusted up, until the spray fan
covers the entire width of the material flow and not more.
If the air pressure is adjusted higher, the liquid will vaporize and stick to the walls of the
spray chamber.
If the nozzle does not have the desired capacity, another suitable nozzle is chosen.
The nozzle can be adjusted forward and backward. The screw (s) is loosened, and the
S nozzle distrance to the spray plate can be varied:
- max. 100mm
- min. 60mm
The nozzle must have such a distance to the spray plate that the spraying angle covers
the width of the material flow ~ 500mm. The spray surface must be horizontal.
If the nozzle does not have the desired capacity, another suitable nozzle is chosen.
1. Open the door (1), pull out the wheel (2) and check wheel/housing for foreign
matters.
2. Remount the wheel and turn the wheel to check that it is moving freely.
3. Check that the rotation direction is correct. Look at the picture. Close the door.
4. Start the MFS and check that the micro switch (3) is working by opening the door.
The motor must stop when the door is opened.
