1.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The homogenizing process has the specific function of reducing the treated product
particles to microns in order to improve the mixing process and the stability of the product,
that is, in other words, to “homogenize” the product’s components.
This process is used in all those sectors where a perfect emulsion and an high degree of
suspension and dispersion is required, with perfectly stable and uniform micronized parti-
cles.
The machine is covered by stainless steel panels which provide to fair and to eliminate
the noise provoked by the rotating parts of the machine’s moving elements (such as electric
motors, transmission belts, pulley, etc.), and specially they provide to avoid any danger for
the personnel in charge of operations. The only external part of the moving elements are the
shafts of the pumping pistons, placed on the rear part of the compression head and pro-
tected by a plexiglass cover.
The uncovered part of the panels is called “compression head” where the product to be
treated will be conveyed into.
The pumping pistons are installed in the inner part of the compression head and their
function is that of pumping the product under pressure; the suction and delivery valves and
the homogenizing valve, where the product is homogenized, are also installed inside the
compression head.
The control panel bears the start and stop controls, the control to regulate the homog-
enizing pressure and the pilot lamps.
The machine always bears an emergency stop push button on the front rear.
The main switch is placed on the electric board; it can be used both to cut off power
supply to the machine and to stop the machine in case of emergency.
The machine is supplied with a complete set of gaskets for the compression head, N° 4
Recovery springs for head’s valves, N°01 safety valve ball, N°01 safety valve seat, N°4 ball
valves for compression head, and a set of wrenches and tools to carry out regular mainte-
nance operations.
This machine has been calibrated to treat the product indicated in the technical card,
such product must not contain hard particles or strange bodies. It is convenient to install a
filter upstream the machine for filtering adequately the product treated.
Never use the machine to treat products different from those indicated
in the paragraph 1.3.6 TECHNICAL FEATURES - TECHNICAL DATA -
!
ATTENTION!
(density, dimension of subparticles, viscosity, etc...). Furthermore, the
operating conditions have to be fully respected, as indicated in the
technical card.
PIETRIBIASI s.r.l. will not to be hold responsible for damaged caused for having treated
other product than those indicated in the technical card. The constructor, in any case, re-
mains at your complete disposal for any further information regarding this argumentation and
will suggest the eventual modifications that needs to be carried out in case the user intends
to process other product different from the initial one for which the machine was originally
calibrated.

How to start the machine
- Supply power to the electric board by turning on the main switch.
- Open the water supply valve upstream the machine.
- Open the compressed air supply valve upstream the machine.
- Make sure the machine is correctly fed airless and must have a constant minimum
pressure of at least as indicated in the technical data table cap. 1.3.6.
- Start the machine by pressing the “START” (Ref. E, fig. 3.1.2) push-button on the
control panel.
- Make sure that the whole surface of the pumping pistons, in the rear part of the com-
pression head, is covered by a film of water in order to assure the correct cooling and
lubrication of the pistons.
The warning light “C” (Ref. fig. 3.1.2) signals the insufficient capacity of water
without stopping the machine. Should it become necessary to regulate the water
i flow, use the tap installed inside the machine (see chap. 5.3.6).
To avoid the water entering in contact with the oil in the pump body, the shaft of
the guiding piston must not be wet.
After having made sure that the machine is running and that it is correctly fed, carry out
the following operations on the control panel:
- See fig. 3.1.2, set the "ON-OFF" lightning pressure selector “G” of the second stage
to "ON" position until it lights on.
- See fig. 3.1.2 pull upwards slightly the pressure adjuster “M” of the second stage to
unhook it.
- Keep an eye on the homogenizing pressure (ref. fig. 3.1.1) pos. “F”, turn slowly the
pressure adjuster clockwise until reaching the desired value.
- See fig. 3.1.2, set the "ON-OFF" lightning pressure selector “F” of the first stage to
"ON" position until it lights on.
- See fig. 3.1.2 pull upwards slightly the pressure adjuster “I” of the first stage to unhook
it.
- Keep an eye on the homogenizing pressure (ref. fig. 3.1.1) pos. “F”, turn slowly the
pressure adjuster clockwise until reaching the desired value.

the one given by the manufacturer both for safety reasons and for the
mechanical parts to last longer (chap. 1.3.6 Technical table).
23
How to disable the homogenizing pressure and stop the machine
Carry out the following sequence on the control panel:
- See fig. 3.1.2, turn the pressure adjuster of the first stage counter clockwise to dis-
able the homogenizing pressure and then do the same with the second stage
presseure adjuster.
- See fig. 3.1.2, set the “ON-OFF” pressure selector “F” of the 1° stage to “OFF” posi-
tion.
- See fig. 3.1.2, set the “ON-OFF” pressure selector “G” of the 2° stage to “OFF” posi-
tion.
- See fig. 3.1.3, stop the machine by pressing the “STOP” push-button “D”.
- Cut off power by switching off the main switch on the electric board.

again.
26
- 3.1.4 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WASHING PROCEDURE -
!
ATTENTION!
it very carefully.
The machine must be washed periodically, taking in consideration the product treated
and the working needs. However we advise to do it at the end of every production
cycle.
The washing is normally a close cycle carried out while the machine is running and
only after having set to zero the homogenizing pressure. This procedure helps to
avoid possible damages to the homogenizing heads.
The operator must wear suitable clothes and/or accident prevention protections
related to the temperatures and the products used.
To carry out washing cycle there could be used both acid and basic solutions, but
what is more important is to make sure that the solutions do not contain a quantity
of nitric acid superior to 2%.
We recommend to respect the norms in force in the Country where the machine will
be installed for that what regards the biodegradability of the washing product and
the discharging of waste water.

- 3.2.2 SAFETY VALVE OPERATION -
This valve, located on the supply pipe of the compression head, is already calibrated to
the maximum pressure admitted and operates only in case of overpressure, by draining free
the product.
The safety valve operates for an overpressure caused by:
- Wrong regulation that provoke too high pressure. Should this be the case it will be
enough to regulate the pressure to a lower value by means of the relative pressure
regulator to reset the regular functioning of the machine.
- Under feeding of the machine or air bubbles inside the product. In this case the safety
valve will automatically stop operating as soon as the regular conditions are reset.
Nevertheless is most important to reset the underfeeding situation as soon as possi-
ble since many parts of the machine get stressed by this conditions and could be
prematurely worn out (pressure indicator, valves and valves’ seats, springs, homog-
enizing valve, etc...).
- Extraneous bodies, product impurities or product having characteristics different from
those admitted by the machine (dimension of particles and too much viscosity). The
safety valve will stop operating as soon as the inconvenience, if not very important,
will pass through the homogenizing valve. Otherwise it will be necessary to stop the
machine, to clean all parts in contact with the product and to remove the cause which
provoked the malfunction before continuing production operations.

!
ATTENTION!
sembling operations
and the check of the
belts state, only when
THE MACHINE IS OFF and the start-
ing device blocked with the key.
- 4.2.1 REPLACING THE
BELTS
- Loosen the nut A
- Loosen the nuts B and C
- Turn the tension rod D counter
clockwise to loosen tension and
be able to disassemble the
belts.
- Remove the belt and replace it Fig. 4.3.a Trasmissione a cinghie - Belts transmission -
with the new one that will be
placed into the pulley seat
- Turn the tension rod D clockwise to tighten the belts.
- Tighten the belts correctly, as described, and then tighten the bolt A and nuts B and C,
as in figure 4.3.b.
B D C
41
- 4.2.2 TENSIONING THE BELTS -
The ideal tensioning is slightly bigger than the sliding limit of the belts. The over-
i tensioning reduces the belts and shafts’ bearings life.
Before tightening as described later on, identify the installed belt type in the technical
card (Chapter 1.3.6)
4 mm 1 - 1,5 Kg 1,5 - 2 Kg
- 4.2.3 ATTENTION -
Before mounting the belts check the alignment of the pulleys by using a limit block and
then make sure they are clean.
Furthermore to assure good performance and reliability:
- Mount only new belts, never combine new ones with old ones, since it will be not
possible to tension them correctly so endangering the reliability of the transmission.
- Mount belts of the same trademark and check on the belt back that they belong the
same production lot. In fact, belts of the same trademark, with the same nominal
development, but belonging to different lots, may present little dimension differences
which will reduce the transmission life.
42
4.3 REPLACING LUBRICANT OIL
The oils provided into the reducer and into the pump body are for a functioning with
environmental temperatures of 0° - 45° C.
In presence of different evironmental temperatures, please contact our technical department.

Prepare, in addition to the usual tools, the dynamometric wrench and a tube of lubricant suit-
able to be used for food stuff.
50
Assembling the pumping group
Carry out the following instructions.
- See Fig. 4.5.a, apply a light film of lubricant suitable to be used for foodstuff on the
pumping piston “A”, on the guiding bush “B”, on the gasket CH “D”, on the gaskets
“C”, “F” and “G” and on seats of these components.
- Screw and tighten fasten the threaded tang of the pumping pistons on the relative
threaded holes of the guiding pistons.
- Assemble the gaskets “C”, “F” and “G” on the guiding bushings “C”. Insert the bush-
ing on the pistons until they are centred on their seats, then tighten by means of the
screws “J”.
- Insert the bottom rings in their seats located on the head paying attention that the “V”
side faces the gaskets CH otherwise the gaskets could get damaged or not work
correctly.
The gasket CH is composed by 4 rings that must be introduce in the following order:
- ring with plane bottom “D1”; the ring’s plane surface
must face the guiding bushing “C”. D1 D2 D3 D2
- rubber-cloth ring “D2”.
- rubber-cloth ring “D3”.
- rubber-cloth ring “D2”.
Once all rings have been identified and are ready to be assembled carry out the follow-
ing operations:
- Insert the gasket pack CH inside the compression head and push it down to get the
gaskets CH packed on the bottom ring “E” already introduced.
- Insert the head on the fastening prisoners, so centring the gaskets CH on the pump-
ing pistons; make sure not to push too heavily.
- End up the head assembling operations by inserting the head correctly on the cen-
tring devices of the sliding bushing.
- Screw the nuts “H” clockwise and tighten them using a pair as indicated in chap. 5.4.
- Fill up the pump body with oil and assemble back all protection panels .

Also in the inlet valve, there are other components to mention in the way they’re subject
to wear:

4.6 VALVE GROUPS
53
- 4.6.2 COMPONENTS OF THE VALVE GROUP THAT CAN GET WORN OUT-
Spring “B”
This component should be replaced when broken or when the surface that contacts the ball
valve “C” is clearly worn out.
We advise to use only original spare parts to replace the parts of the ball valve
i since the market offers also not original spares with very low sphere accuracy.
Be aware that the use of unsuitable ball valves will result in the valves and seats
getting worn out to soon.
A practical and extremely efficient method to value the correct sealing of the
i valve seat/ball valve is composed by the following phases:
Gasket “E”
When the gasket of the lower valve group is too worn out, product comes out of the compres-
sion head “O” and of the suction collector “P” ref. fig.4.4.3
Gasket “E” of the supply valve group gets worn out less easily than the one located on the
lower valve group and must be replaced as a prevention every four changes of the lower
valve group.

compulsory TO STOP THE MACHINE by cutting off power supply.
55
- 4.6.4 MAINTENANCE OF THE SUCTION VALVE GROUP -
!
DANGER!
Remember that before carrying out any maintenance operation it will be
compulsory TO STOP THE MACHINE by cutting off power supply.
Since this operation could easily damage the suction valve seat, we advise to
i carry out the following operations, even if they are more complicated, since in this
case you will need to disassemble the supply valve and part of the compression
head.
- Disassembling the product inlet and outlet pipes, the suction collector “J” and the
supply collector “K” by unscrewing nuts “H” counter clockwise.
- Remove the valve guide “A”, the spring “B” and the ball valve “C” of the supply valve
group as described in paragraph 4.6.3. Through the holes that the valves have left
empty you can see the pumping pistons.
- Loosen the nuts “Q” to be able to move the head back around 2 cm. This way at least
one of the pumping pistons will uncover the suction valve underneath.
- Then insert the special percussion bar (made of red plastic as in Fig. Fig. 4.4.a,
pos.6) in the upper part of the head, pass through
the piston chamber and lay it on the suction valve
guide.
- Use a hammer given light mallet blows on the
percussion bar and carefully remove the suction
valve group (place a container under the valve
group to avoid that the component might fall dur-
ing the extracting operations).
- Turn the keyed pulley on the pump group reducer
until the other pumping piston moves back leav-
ing free access to the other suction valve.
- Repeat extraction operations using the supplied
special rod.

- Assembling the suction valve group -
- Reassemble the “E” gaskets and the complete suction valve group, and mount it
back in the head.
- Press the “E” gasket, so that it holds the valve group inside the head.
- Mount the suction manifold and tighten the nuts by turning them clockwise using a
pair, as indicated in chapter 5.4 table.

It is necessary to have, apart from the normal maintenance equipment, the red funnel for
oil collection “F” (enclosed in the machinery kit) and, if needed, about 1 Lt. of good fluidity
characteristics oil (for example hydraulic oil ISO 20 gradation or lower).

The following operations, if carried out improperly, can damage the homogeniz-
i ing valve group components or any other goods standing near the maintenance
site.
- Hold the homogenizing chamber so that the fingers touch the head ”S”.
- Blow slowly compressed air, using a compressed air gun, through the union “Z” (be careful
to adjust correctly the air pressure).
- The components inside the homogenizing chamber will get expelled therefore pay atten-
tion to hold them so that no other component gets damaged.
- Place the homogenizing chamber in its seat and tighten the nuts on the studs by screwing
them clockwise using a pair as described in table of chap.5.4.

- 4.8.3 MAINTENANCE OF THE SAFETY VALVE -
When the safety valve is operating, the product comes out of the relative drain pipe.
Find out what is causing the anomaly as described in chap. 3.2.2.
If product has come out for a short time or a very small quantity has been drained, it is possi-
ble to end production before carrying out the wash-
ing cycle.
Maintenance of the safety valve is very simple:
W
- Remove pipe “X” and the safety valve by
unscrewing screws “W” counter clockwise.
- Mount the valve and fasten it by screwing the nuts “W” clockwise in a cross section and
then tighten them using a pair as described in table of chap.5.4.
!
ATTENTION!
safety valve, we advise to block pipe “X” by means of the relative pulley,
paying attention that the drain hole faces the internal part of the ma-
chine.
