General safety rules

Introduction to the safety rules
This document can include sections that give maintenance informations to customer or Piovan service
engineers.
Any maintenance or repearing intervention needs the knowledge of the related safety rules before to
begin any operation. For this reason any technician that approaches parts of the machine where a
possible risk of injuries is real (electrical parts, movable parts, hot areas, etc.) has to know exactly:
the type of risk
the meaning of the safety labels
what to do in order to prevent any dangerous situation
The present section reports a global list of the safety rules to comply divided in four parts:
A - SAFETY RULES FOR SERVICE ENGINEERS
B - SAFETY RULES FOR MAINTENANCE
C - SAFETY RULES FOR HANDLING, LIFTING, PACKING AND UNPACKING
D - GRAPHIC SAFETY SYMBOLS
Read the full section before to perform any maintenance, adjustment, measurement, modification,
upgrade or dismantling operation in the machine.

A - SAFETY RULES FOR SERVICE ENGINEERS
Note 1: the following rules relate both to Piovan service (field) engineers and customer plant engineers
Note 2: the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any injury to persons or damage to property
resulting from the non-observance of the safety rules.
Note 3: these rules integrate but do not replace the statutory industrial accident prevention
regulations in force in the country where the machine is installed.
• Before executing any operation on the machine, check the information in the labels applied on it.
• If the Service Engineer find potential risks, they must be reported to the Responsible Service
Manager who will inform Technical Department.
• When required, all persons working on the machine must wear protective clothing (helmets, safety
footwear, gloves, earplugs or hearing protection, safety goggles etc.) in accordance with
international and local workplace safety standards.
• All personal protective equipment must always be perfectly intact, otherwise you must request the
immediate replacement.
• Set up footboards or platforms (in accordance with the safety regulations in force) when installing
parts that cannot be reached from ground level. Work with slings for access/reach elevated
parts/areas (lofts, roofs, plant walls, hoppers, silos, etc.).
• Report a deficiency of the means of protection and safety and rectify it before starting the activities.
3
• Do not use work equipment not in good condition or if the instruments has been made the
regular maintenance, adjustment or calibration.
• When interfacing with other machinery, strictly observe the instructions given by the
manufacturers of the other machines.
• Check that the safety systems (guards, microswitches, sensors) are in perfect working order
before starting work. Any parts that are not in perfect working order must be repaired before
proceeding.
• Service Engineer may temporarily remove safety systems (guards, switches, sensors, etc.) but
taking care about the possible risks he can expose himself.
• Don’t work with your hands or any other parts of the body if they are wet or damp.
• Make sure the installation is performed in conditions of adequate visibility that remain constant
through time; install supplementary lighting if necessary.
• Mark off the work areas with tape and display suitable danger notices in the areas where the
installation is taking place.
4
B - SAFETY RULES FOR MAINTENANCE
• Unless expressly stated otherwise, all maintenance and adjustment work on the machine, or parts of it,
must be performed with the machine completely isolated from the electricity, compressed air
(discharge the air from the pneumatic circuit) and water supply sources.
• Drain off and remove any fluid inside the machine to prevent them from coming into contact with live
parts during the maintenance work.
• Mark off the work zone with tape and put up notices warning of the hazards in the areas where the
adjustment, maintenance or troubleshooting work is taking place.
• Wait until the machine and the parts that have to be approached have cooled down to room
temperature before performing any maintenance tasks.
• To avoid injuring persons or damaging objects, make sure that no solids, liquids or gases are
discharged or disposed of in the environment. Have these substances removed in suitable containers
(by custode), in accordance with the binding waste disposal regulations in the place of installation.
• When cleaning parts, always use an industrial vacuum cleaner and perform the work in a suitable
place. Never use compressed air or use it only if the area is provided with aspirators.
5
C - SAFETY RULES FOR HANDLING, LIFTING, PACKING AND UNPACKING
Note: this type of rules and preventions must be observed during the installation of the
machine or in case of its re-location in another place.
• All persons must be kept at a safe distance from the moving load!
• Use only lifting equipment that are appropriate to the nature, form, weight, volume of the load and
operating conditions.
• Check the efficienty of the means particulary ropes, wire ropes, chains, hooks and report any
anomalies.
• Don’t overload the transport or lifting means or have the load so that it protrudes or lack of balance,
generally do not perform, place, combine loads of objects and materials dangerously.
• The packing material can cause cuts or abrasions and must be placed in safe place and made
harmless.
• Spikes and other protruding from wooden planks, packing cases, etc., must be removed as soon as
possible and rendered harmless.

Special functions setting User parameters
Start up: set yes to enable the function

Material temp: set a value between 120 and 130°C
Start up set point: set the starting set point temperature, default = 120°C
Start up time set the time to keep the start SP, default = 60 min
With the function enabled, the material temperature detected at the cone (BT21) is cheched at every
start of the dryer.
If the temperature detected is less than the value set at the Material temperature parameter, the dryer
drives the process heater to reach the Start up set point value, keep it for the time set to the next
parameter and then increase the temperature to the set point (170 – 180°C).
If the temperature detected is more than the value set at the Material temperature parameter, the
dryer goes directly to the set point.
Machine (IMM) stopping

Reduced set point set the reduced set point temperature (default = 80°C)
Reduced set point delay set the time after that the dryer switches to the reduced set point
default = 15 min
This function can be used only in case of paused/stopped signal (contact closure) from the IMM.

Parameters for automatic hopper loading in percentage User parameters
This function required a particular software that gives the possibility to activate the loading of the
hopper at a certain level depending on the value set at the parameter Energy saver.
A level detection system must be present (continuous level sensor or load cells).
The funcion can be activated by setting the parameter P76 to 1. Then it is possible to set the % level
in the hopper related to the value that the user gives to the Energy saver parameter (Eco 0 to 5).
Of course the % in the hopper must be set according to the current production, because it directly
affects the residence time into the hopper.

Air flow setting

Energy saver (Eco) parameter function and setting
This parameter allows to drive the by-pass valve YV8.
Starting from value 0 to value 5 the valve proportionally opens The by-pass valve YV8 is a modulating valve
reducing the air flow capacity up to approximately the 50 - 60%. that allows to reduce the capacity (m3/h) of the

economizer a correspondent air flow is measured by an It is a way to save energy and avoid over-drying
anemometer. This allows to stimate the airflow range: in case of low production.
Example with a DPS120, real case:

Full capacity measured at the blower open outlet: 2350 m3/h
Capacity measured simulating the main hopper full:

Eco 0: 2100 m3/h
Eco 1: 2000 m3/h Note: since the values are obtained
Eco 2: 1700 m3/h in simulation and with a certain air
Eco 3: 1360 m3/h temperature, consider a possible
Eco 4: 1060 m3/h variation of +/- 10%.
Eco 5: 980 m3/h
Basically the choice of the eco value depends on the production

and the K factor (specific flow rate) to be used.
Example: IMM production = 850 kg/h K = 2.3 m3/kg Note: expecially for PET, the K factor is a
Required air flow = 850 x 2.3 = 1955 m3/h compromize: it must be enoght to guarantee the
In this case the energy saver should be set to 1 (Eco 1) drying of the material but not too high to keep low
the dryer consumption. 2.3 m3/kg is an average.
20
Introduction Hopper filling setting
Starting from the points explained in the previous pages,

the Energy saver parameter can be set by the user from 0 to 5 (Eco0 to Eco5)
a. every value corresponds to a certain dryer capacity
b. by setting the parameters P70 to P75, every value also corresponds to a filling % of the hopper
c. the setting of the Energy saver parameter depends on the required production of material
Note 1: considering the dryer consumption, the best condition is to work with the hopper full.
Of course, it is possible to work also at 50% level but the consumption per single kg of
dryed material will be higher.
Note 2: the residence time for the PET preforms is around 6 h but a value up to 8 h is generally
still acceptable without the risk of over-drying.
Note 3: the set point (drying temperature) for PET preforms is normally 175 – 180°C.
After the start-up phase, it is important to check the material temperature at the outlet or
cone area (sensor BT21/A). This temperature is correlated with the IMM material inlet
temperature required (for example 170°C). For example, after 6 h, if the material
temperature is not the expected one, it is suggested to wait more time before to start the
production.
This can happens in case of very cold material coming from an expernal silo during winter.
21
Example of setting Hopper filling setting

Considering:
a DPS120 dryer + TN6500 hopper (full capacity = 5200 kg PET)
two IMM productions: 850 kg/h and 630 kg/h
Setting example
dryer set point: 175°C
hopper level connected with
It is necessary to create three work modes: energy saver parameter P_76 1
(1=enable 0=disable)
Mode a. Start-up phase, for example:
2 h at 120°C + 2 h at 150°C + 2-3 h at 175°C, then the hopper level for Eco 0 P_70 100%
production can start if the material temp. (cone) is 170°C hopper level for Eco 1 P_71 100%
Mode b. Production at 850 kg/h hopper level for Eco 2 P_72 95%
hopper level for Eco 3 P_73 95%
Mode c. Production at 630 kg/h
Mode a. Eco 0 = 2100 m3/h – P70 set to 100%
Mode b. Eco 1 = 2000 m3/h – P71 set to 100%
residence time = 5200 kg PET / 850 kg/h = 6.11 h (6h, 7’)
K = 2000 m3/h / 850 kg/h = 2.35 m3/kg In this case (630 kg production),
Mode c. Eco 2 = 1700 m3/h
– P72 set to 95% the user can choose if to work with
residence time = 4940 kg PET / 630 kg/h = 7.84 h (7h, 50’) Eco 2 or 3. In the first case, the K
K = 1700 m3/h / 630 kg/h = 2.7 m3/kg is a bit low but could be enoght for
the correct drying. If not, better to
Eco 3 = 1360 m3/h – P73 set to 95%
use Eco2 even if the consumption
K = 1360 m3/h / 630 kg/h = 2.15 m3/kg
is higher
22
Continuous level sensor without automatic hopper loading Material level setting
Sensor purpose and material level use
The continuous level sensor is normally mounted and calibrated during the machine installation.
The calibration has the aim to set the maximum material level (100%) and the minimum level that depends
on the size of the hopper. In case of a TN7500 the min level will be 32%. The level corresponds to a volume.
The max level approximately corresponds to the full capacity of the hopper, therefore it is possible to
calculate the weight of the max loaded material:
Volume x Bulk density = 7500 x 0.85 (example) = 6375 Kg
In this way 32% (min volume level) means a weight of 2040 kg.

(Vega type) Considering a standard residence time of 6 hours,
the range of production will be 340 to 1062 kg/h.
6375 kg
(100%) With DP631 dryer the best condition is to work with a
production range between 60% (637 kg/h) to 100%
(1062 kg/h ) due to the possibility to set an air flow
range from 2600 to 1600 m3/h (air flow setting).
Material
weight Less than 60% means that the energy consumption
range increases up to a max that corresponds to the min
production (340 kg/h).
With Economizer set to 5:
K = 1600 m3/h /340 kg/h = 4.7 m3/kg
2040 kg Work material level setting

(32%) The work material level can be set by the user
depending on the IMM production.
For example, if the IMM requires 800 kg/h and
you want a residence time of 6 hours, the
material to be loaded is 4800 kg.
If 6375 kg = 100%, 4800 kg = 75%
set 75% to Hopper level parameter.

Split systems System start/stop suggestions
This section gives some basic instruction and suggestions useful to operate with a split drying system:
Dryer + Hopper A + Hopper B.
Note: the following indications refer to standard working conditions (set point temperature 175 - 185°C) and they
derive from our customers’ experience with Piovan systems.
In accordance with what the supplier of PET resin suggests, every user can modify the following procedure on
the basis of his experience and working conditions.
Stop procedure
In order to stop the system during the week-end or for production end, we suggest to:
1. stop the loading (vacuum pump) of the hopper B and let the IMM running
2. at the same time, stop the dryer: the process heater is switched off and the dryer keep the blowers running
for the time set to the Cooling time parameter (normally 120 – 180 minutes) in order to gradually decrease
the temperature inside the heating group.
3. keep the set point of the hopper B, and let the IMM running until the hopper B is completely empty
4. Stop the hopper B drying system (second operator panel).
Also in this case the blower remains running for the time set the the Cooling time parameter .
25

Re-start procedure
In order to start the system again, after a stop due to the week-end or production end, we suggest to:
1. start the dryer (before to start always check that everything is OK, cooling water, compressed air, etc.)
2. If the Starting special function is disabled, set the process temp. and the loading of the hopper B by the control
panel, as described in following diagram:

If the Starting function is active, the first step can be automatic but the second is still manual (after 1 hour
the operator has to set the process temperature to 150°C and after other 2 hours he has to set 180°C).

About the hopper B:
start the drying system at low temperature (40°C) and keep it for 3 hours.
Then set the temperature at 185°C (example), at the same time start the loading system,
then, after 2 hours, the production can start.
Note: in some cases a too long residence time can cause oxidation, I.V. increase and yellowness of
the resin. This can happens after 10 to 12 hours depending on the resin type.
We suggest to ask the supplier of the resin further information regarding its treatment.
Piovan S.p.A. is not responsible for damages occurred while applying this procedure.

The two operator panels allow to dispaly the temperatures Temperatures check
detected by the various temperature probes of the drying system.

Regeneration menu
Another important menu that the user can enter is the Regeneration menu.
Such as utility allows to understand which the tower in regeneration and what is the current phase.
The numer of regenerations is useful to stimate the life of the molecular sieves.
The path to reach and enter the temperatures menu is:
Main operative page Main menu Visualization Regeneration
Regeneration bed (tower) = R (right) or L (left)

Regeneration phase meaning:
FR0: left tower in heating phase
F1A: left tower in cooling phase by ambient air (see note 1)
FR1: left tower in cooling phase by cooling water/dryed air
FR2: left tower in stand-by (static phase)
FR3: right tower in heating phase
F4A: right tower in cooling phase by ambient air (see note 1)
FR4: right tower in cooling phase by cooling water/dryed air
FR5: right tower in stand-by (static phase)
Note 1: F1A and F4A phases are used to
Time remaining = time pending to complete the current phase
remove some residual moisture still present
in the hopper. Regen. Nr. = total regeneration counter (both the towers)
Note 2: about the regeneration number, in case you don’t have possibility to measure the process air dew point
consider 6000 regeneration (total of the two towers) as a limit to replace the molecular sieves or at least to
do a visual check of the sieves inside the towers. A plenty of powder means sieves to be replaced.
29
Notes
The mostly part of the maintenance operation are simple and can be executed by the customer.
Piovan service staff who install and start-up the machine explains to the user all those maintenance
operation that allows the machine to be always working properly in order to prevent low machine
performances and faulty conditions.
Without preventive maintenance the dryer will operate in a bad condition drastically reducing its
efficiency time by time.
Some operation as the molecular sieves replacement or some optional devices installation we
recommend to be performed by Piovan service staff only or by contacting Piovan SAS.
For the operation refer to the Dryer maintenances Technical presentation (general maintenance
information and suggestions) and the User manual for the specific operation in the DPS dryers.

WinPet supervision system

WinFactory (WF) and WinPet (WP) are the standard supervising software,
built on a large platform and suitable to control a wide range of Piovan
machines.
WinPet is dedicated to the machines present in a bay PET (dryer, hopper/s,
vacuum pumps, receivers, mould dryer, etc.).
WF/WP runs on Windows environment in a client/server architecture.

Connections to the machines can be through TCP and RS485 serial lines
with a USB/4xRS485 converter included in the basic licence kit.
The computer where the WF or WP is installed can be a customer PC or a

PC provided by Piovan in four possible versions:
a. Office solution: cabinet desktop slim + possible monitor/mouse
b. Industrial PC for rack mounting + possible monitor/mouse
c. Industrial PC for pulpit mounting - touch screen integrated
d. Industrial PC for panel mounting (Omnia) - touch screen integrated
Note: WinPet is not provided with a standard user manual. All the informations
about the screen-out displayed in that moment can be visualized by clicking F1.
Omnia PC version
Omnia is the most compact solution provided with an integrated colour touch screen.
It suitable expecially for bay PET.
The USB/RS485 converter and the hardware key are placed inside the panel.
Optionally a standard keyboard/mouse can be required.

Bay PET devices WinPet supervision system
Depending on the configuration of

the bay PET, we can have various
elements (devices) managed by
WinPet.
In the example there are:
a CanBus controlled dryer
a dryng hopper
a vacuum pump
a receiver (hopper loader)
In case of split system, in the
screen-out on the right another
hopper plus receiver and a pump
will be present. The pump can be
only one if the two receivers are
fed by the same pump.
For every device it is possible to
enter the detail page or get partial
informations just placing the cursor
on the icon or pressing the right
key of the mouse.
In case of touch screen the
commands can be a single touch,
a double touch or a touch keeping
the finger for few seconds.

Dryer detail page WinPet supervision system
By clicking the left

key on a device, a
detail window will
appear.
It contains the main
commands and
operative parameters
of the that device.

Possible alarm and remedy

In case of alarms
When an alarm condition is generated, the acoustic device (siren) and a visual signaller turn on.
At the same time the LED beside the alarm simbol on the operator panel turns on and the display shows
the number and the text of that alarm in a red background light.
The alarms are divided into Blocking and Non-blocking alarms (warnings).
1 To shut off the acoustic device, press the key
2 Check the cause of the alarm and fix it if necessary.
3 Press the key again to go back to the previous display page.
4 If the alarm cause has not been fixed, press the key
to go back to the previous page.
5 Press again the key to see the list of the alarms in

progress.
