4.1 Structure

The machine is described here for all types using model RD 350 KE as an example.
The difference is only the shape and position of the infeed (pos. 10 and 11).
The machine is built around the steamer container. The container has been
manufactured from a stainless steel pipe. Connection flanges connect the bottom of
the machine with the connecting components of the tempering zone. The upper flange
makes the connection to the head plate, the drive and the bearing unit. The bearing
unit supports the main shaft and the internal roller bearing carries the load and
distributes the load changes. The drive motor with the chain drive makes the shaft
rotate.

 Structure and function

4.2 Functional description

The product to be processed is led out of the preliminary container to the inlet of the
machine. There must be a permanent product tower for the machine to function. This
is why the preliminary container has a level meter. The meter switches the external
product supply system (not included in the scope of delivery). The proper operation of
the machine is only possible when the product tower goes from the outlet of the
tempering zone to the upper (switch-off point) point in the preliminary container. Now
the steam can be brought into the product tower. The product has to be brought into
circulation for this. To do this you have to transport the product which is still cold at the
bottom of the tempering zone back up into the preliminary container. This makes the
warm upper product slip down and the product flowing after it can be loaded with
steam. The constant product flow ensures that the product heated to about 98 °C
comes out the bottom of the tempering zone after a certain dwell period. At this point
the entire product tower is heated uniformly. The product can now be supplied to the
next process step.

9. Operation

9.1 Safety

The personal protective equipment is part of the entire safety concept of our machine. The
specified personal protective equipment must be available completely and in faultless condition,
and in the appropriate size for every employee. The employee is responsible for ensuring that
the protective equipment is always ready for use. Take off jewelry and rings before starting the
activity.

The personal protective equipment that must be used during the activity consists of
• tight-fitting clothing
• head covering or hair net
• hearing protectors
• non-slip, safety footwear.
In addition, if needed:
• protective goggles

Ensure that foreign objects, such as metal or rocks, do not get into the machine. Foreign objects
in the machine can cause damage in the interior or significantly increase the level of wear. We
recommend that you install a destoner or metal separator upstream of the machine.

Never reach into the running machine!

Do not reach into the machine when the machine drives are switched on or during running
production. Do not open the maintenance doors or remove protective cladding.

Switch off the steam supply before opening the maintenance door. The exiting steam,
which is at least 100 °C, could lead to permanent i njuries to limbs or fatal injuries.
Immediately after switching off the steam supply, the steam-carrying components inside
the machine are still 80–90 °C. There is a danger o f getting burnt if you touch them.
The maintenance flap is only permitted to be opened if the drive is at a standstill. The rotating
steam nozzles can cause severe, irreparable injuries to bodily extremities.

RD 350 35 of 69
14.04.2010
 Operation

The maintenance flap is only permitted to be opened if the drive is at a standstill. Opening the
maintenance doors can result in irreversible eye injuries due to whirling product parts.

Reaching into the running machine can result in irreversible injuries to extremities or fatal
injuries.

Opening the maintenance doors could lead to product parts spinning around and to severe,
irreparable eye injuries.

9.2 Structure of the machine – Operating elements

At the machine itself there are no settings levers or flaps that have to be changed during
operation.
Operation is controlled via the steam control system alone and the discharge at the lower end of
the tempering zone. Separate operating instructions apply to both areas.

RD 350 36 of 69
14.04.2010
 Operation

9.3 Start up

Start the machine after you have ensured that all maintenance doors are closed and
that the machine is in operational status.

Comply with the safety instructions.

Only start the product supply once you have ensured that all maintenance flaps on the machine
and the tempering zone are shut. Also check whether the product discharge below the
tempering zone is closed.
If the aforementioned points have been fulfilled, you can begin to fill the tempering zone. To do
this the product supply is turned on. The product should now move into the tempering zone
unimpeded by the preliminary container.
You can now put the agitator into operation, but you must not start the steam supply as the
steam would immediately rise and trigger the safety shutdown.
Fill the tempering zone and the steamer with product until the lower switch-off point in the
preliminary container has been reached. During the subsequent circulating process, the product
will expand due to the water absorbed, meaning the preliminary container will be completely full.
If the switch-off point has been reached, the product supply is stopped.
The system is now switched to circulation so that the product that is coming out the bottom of
the tempering zone is transported by the conveying element back up to the preliminary
container. This circulation must continue until a temperature of about 96 °C has been achieved
at the outlet of the tempering zone. Now the product in the tempering zone has been completely
heated to the desired temperature so that processing can take place.
Now switch the system to the throughput process. The conveyor element guides the product at
the outlet of the tempering zone towards post-processing. Now regularly check the outlet
temperature of the tempering zone to achieve a constant product property.

9.3.1 Start up after an emergency stop

If the machine has shut down due to an unusual operating state, or if it has been
switched off through an emergency stop, the machine cannot simply be restarted.

•
• First check whether the steam supply is shut so that steam of 100 °C plus cannot
exit uncontrollably and heat components and the product.
• Do not open the maintenance flap at the steamer.
• Always avoid very long dwell periods of the product in the tempering zone or in
the steamer. The product would expand considerably due to the moisture already
absorbed and compress inside the steamer and tempering zone. You would then
only be able to remove the product laboriously by hand.
• Check whether there is still product in the preliminary container.
• Start up the agitator in the steamer, and check how it starts up. If a fault
RD 350 37 of 69
14.04.2010
 Operation

immediately occurs again, you can assume that the product tower is blocking the
agitator. If this is the case, attempt to make the product tower run out the bottom
of the tempering zone.
• If there is still product in the preliminary container and if the agitator turns without
fault, production can continue.
• Open the steam supply and closely monitor the operational process.
• The interruption might mean that part of the product tower is not at the desired
temperature, making it unsuitable for production.
• If this is the case, then switch the system back to circulation to reach the
temperature required, or properly dispose of the product part concerned.

Maintenance at parts carrying steam

Due to the pressure of the steam predominating in the system, wear occurs during
production. To be able to react to changes in time and avoid unplanned downtime, the
components have to be regularly checked, cleaned where necessary or replaced.
Attention! You can only carry out maintenance and repair at the components carrying
steam once you have ascertained that the steam has been turned off and cannot be
turned back on again unintentionally. Components are still at a temperature of 80–90
°C even just after the steam supply has been shut o ff, meaning that there is a risk of
burning yourself. Allow components to cool down or wear suitable protective clothes
during work.
Make sure you comply with the safety instructions.

Using the turning feed the steam is fed into the shaft from above. The flexible steam
hose is mounted on it.
There could be minor permeability at the seal points in the first 10–15 operating hours
of a new steam feed. After the surfaces have been ground, there should no longer be
condensate coming out.
If there is permeability at the steam inlet after a longer production time, then it can be
assumed that the sealing surfaces are worn. To avoid accidents, the steam feed
should be replaced at this point with an identical spare part.
• Ensure that the steam supply is closed and that it cannot be reopened
unintentionally.
• Take off the flexible steam hose.
• Hold the shaft of the steamer with a suitable monkey wrench and release the

 Dismantlement and disposal

12.2.2 Description of the disposal tasks

In most cases it is not necessary to dispose of the machine because many components can still be
reused. Prior to dismantling the machine contact the manufacturer, Streckel & Schrader KG, for
information concerning the recycling possibilities.
If recycling is not possible, then environmentally-responsible disposal is necessary. Other than the gear
oil, the machine does not contain any components or residues that are environmentally harmful, so that
the machine can be taken to a metal disposal company after the gear oil has been drained. The gear oil
must be taken to a specialized company for disposal of harmful materials. Ensure that a verification of
disposal is issued to you for the disposal of the gear oil.
The procedure for draining the gear oil is described in the manual provided by the motor manufacturer.
Collect the entire oil quantity in a sealable container, seal it and label it appropriately for the content.
Ensure that oil cannot get on the floor or into surface water or sewage water.
When handling hazardous substances, comply with the instructions in TRGS 001, the technical
regulations of the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances, as well as with the instructions in DIN EN 626-01.

13.3 Electrical documentation

• Electrical connection

The mains voltage and frequency must conform with the data on the type plate. Voltage deviations of
± 5 % and/or frequency deviations of ± 2 % are permitted.
Every motor is supplied with a connection diagram. The connection of the motor, the control system, the
overload protection and earthing have to be carried out in accordance with the VDE and installation
regulations as well as the provisions of the energy supply companies.
The direction of rotation of the drive-side shaft end must be checked before initial operation. The direction
of rotation can be reversed by swapping any two mains supply lines.
The parts for strain relief or to prevent twisting of the supply lines must be used properly. Any openings not
required must be closed with plugs or cable entries in accordance with Directive 94/9/EC to maintain the
IP protection class.
When supplied the explosion-proof motors have no threaded cable connection, all metric cable entries are
provided with plugs.
When connecting the motor, the regulations for installing electrical systems in areas at risk of explosion
have to be taken into account (e.g. connection with a terminal box certified in accordance with Directive
94/9/EC).

• Motor protection

The motors have to be protected all-pole against impermissible heating due to the overloading of bimetal
motor-protection switches. In addition, measures have to be taken so that the operation of a three-phase
a.c. motor is prevented if a phase fails. This protective equipment must monitor the nominal current and
switch off the stalled motor within a very short time. Windings in a delta connection have to be protected
against a phase failing. To do this, switch the triggering devices or relay in series with the phase belts, and
set the 0.58 times rated current.
For pole-changing motors, consider that a device preventing overload has to be provided for every
rotational speed. The protective switches have to be locked so that once a switch triggers, it is not
possible switch to another rotational speed.

• Connection diagram

Connect the drive motor to a motor protection switch to prevent it from being damaged
when the drive is mechanically blocked.
Connection example

RD 350 66 of 69
14.04.2010
 Supplemental documents

The connection motor has a temperature sensor which shows that the drive has
overheated. To assess this symbol, a temperature monitoring system is required.
This component then ensures that the drive is switched off.
Connection example

13.4 Test reports

The manufacturer has test reports which were produced when the machine was manufactured.
