3.2 Machine functions

3.2.1 How it works


The machine is a rotating valve bag filling machine with 8, 12 or 16 filling stations for
filling cement and similar powdery bulk goods. It works according to the impeller filling
system and is equipped with a gross weighing system, which is designed primarily for
filling bags with a full weight of 25 kg and 50 kg. Depending on system configuration, the
valve bags can be placed manually by operating personnel or by bag placing machine
into the filling tubes. The entire filling and weighing process is monitored and controlled
by HAVER electronic weigher MEC4. After achieving the target weight, the filled bag is
automatically thrown onto a conveyor belt. Depending on the ease of flow of the filling
product and composition of the bags, for each filling station, performance of 325
bags/hour when using bags with a full weight of 50 kg can be achieved.
The direction of rotation of the machine may differ depending on the design of
the machine.
The main working speeds of the machine are the following:
• Bag placing ⇒ 3.2.2 Bag placing, 46
• Bag checking ⇒ 3.2.3 Bag checking, 46
• Bag filling ⇒ 3.2.4 Bag filling, 47
• Bag discharge ⇒ 3.2.5 Bag discharge, 47

The illustration shows the bag transport for a machine with 12 filling stations,
rotating clockwise. The bag transport runs in the opposite direction with a machine
rotating anticlockwise.
The number of filling stations of the machine may differ depending on design.
When the filling station [5] reaches the bag placement area [8], the automatic
bag applicator places an empty bag on the filling tube [15].

3.2.3 Bag checking


If the filling station [5] reaches the bag holder position [9], the buffer [16] lowers. The
bag holder [17] checks whether an empty bag is hanging on the filling tube [15].
If the bag holder [17] detects an empty bag on the filling tube [15], the filling
process begins.
If the bag holder [17] has not detected any empty bag on the filling tube [15], the buffer
[16] lifts up to the empty bag position [11] in the filling area. The bag discharge [18]
tips forwards. No filling process is triggered and the filling station concerned is
emptied by turning through the remaining work stages.

20 Coarse feed slide position
21 Fine feed slide position
22 Closed slide position

Between the filling box [7] and the filling tube [15] is the slide valve [19]. The slide
valve [19] blocks the filling channel.
In the filling area [10], the slide valve [19] initially opens the filling channel fully.
The product flows into the bag, as a so-called "coarse feed" [20].
After a few seconds, the slide valve [19] reduces the opening of the filling channel.
The product flows into the bag more slowly, as a so-called "fine feed" [21].
The slide vale [19] closes completely [22], just before the bag reaches its target weight.
Between the slide valve [19] and the filling tube [15] is an aeration nozzle
which transports the product residues into the bag.
The machine control records the target weight of the bag.

3.2.5 Bag discharge


If the target weight of the bag is reached and the filling station has reached the
discharge position [13], the buffer [16] is raised. The bag discharge [18] tips forward

Operation
Description of type parameters

134 Dribble feed Automatic regulation of the static and dynamic


regulator leads.
At the end of filling, a control weighing is done
on the filling spout. If the actual weight deviates
from the target weight, the lead is corrected as
follows:
• Static lead;
The static lead is corrected for control step
sizes. The control step size is the product of
the measured weight deviation and the
dribble feed regulator factor.
• Dynamic lead;
The dynamic lead is corrected by changing
the response time constant.

size. The control factor can be set in 10-%
steps from 0 % to 200 %.
Input: %

118
Operation
Description of type parameters

137 Lead type Selecting a method for determining the weight


for which the dribble feed must be led. The
dribble feed is taken from the target weight and
thus determines when the feeding unit is
switched off and the dosing device is closed
(shut-down weight).
The control makes a distinction between static
and dynamic lead:
• The static lead is based on empirical values
and must be defined via the parameter
static lead before the start of filling. It
does not change during filling.
• The dynamic lead is redetermined and
adjusted continuously during filling. The
control determines the weight increase and
multiplies the weight increase by the
response time constant parameter.
The static lead and response time constant can
be corrected after the end of filling by means of
the function dribble feed regulator.
Selection:
• static
• dynamic
Recommendation: choose static, if
• the machine is exposed to intense
vibrations and jolts,
• the product cannot be filled into bags
evenly.
138 Static lead When the active filling is completed, the static
lead considers the dribble feed of the product
from the filling spout to avoid overweight in the
bag.
Input: kg
Example: The target weight is 25.0 kg. In this
case static lead means 0.50 kg: If a
weight of 24.5 kg is achieved, the feeding unit
is switched off and the dosing device is closed.
139 Response time Enter a constant designed to compensate the
constant mechanical and electrical delays that occur
when filling is switched off.
Input: s
Note: The function is only active if the lead
type has been set to dynamic.

and overweight limit are corrected by
this value.
If a check weigher initiates the correction, the
manually entered correction value is
overwritten.
If you wish to retain the last correction value in
the check weigher after an interruption in
production, the parameter fix value must
be set to No.
If you wish to retain the manually entered
correction value in the check weigher after an
interruption in production, the parameter fix
value must be set to Yes.
Input: kg
Recommendation: If the actual weight tends
to be slightly less than the target weight at the
end of filling, add approximately 0.10 kg.

8 Troubleshooting and fault rectification


8.1 Safety instructions for fault rectification
Always observe the following action-related warnings to prevent injury to personnel
or damage to the machine:

Electric current
► Working on live components can lead to electric shocks and burns.
► Switch off the machine at the main switch!
Secure the main switch against accidental start-up!
Switch off the compressed air supply to the machine at the shut-off valve on
the maintenance unit before performing any maintenance work!
Secure the shut-off valve against actuation!
Affix warning signs indicating that maintenance work is in progress before
starting any maintenance work!

Improper troubleshooting and fault rectification


► There is a risk of injury when unqualified personnel perform troubleshooting
and fault rectification tasks.
► Only specialist personnel trained by HAVER & BOECKER or HAVER &
BOECKER service personnel are permitted to perform troubleshooting and fault
rectification tasks!
If the machine will not start or faults occur during operation, the machine
operator must report the faults to the operator responsible!
If personnel at the operating company are not able to rectify the fault,
contact HAVER & BOECKER after-sales service!

IMPORTANT
Contact HAVER & BOECKER after-sales service under the number +49 (0) 2522-
30-371. The after-sales service offers the following services:
• Deployment of HAVER & BOECKER service personnel
• Remote diagnosis and teleservice for rectifying operating problems and
identifying faulty components
• Troubleshooting and fault rectification assistance over the telephone
• Supply of spare parts

139
Troubleshooting and fault rectification
Safety instructions for fault rectification

Moving machine components


► When the machine starts up, there is a danger that personnel may be drawn into
the machine and crushed.
► Before starting the machine, make sure that all personnel have vacated the
area behind the protective covering as well as the working area around the
machine! Make sure that unauthorised personnel are not able to switch on the
machine or individual components!

Moving machine parts


► After a drip in compressed air pressure or after a longer period of standstill all
valves and cylinders move back into their basic position upon switching on again.
Persons and their limbs can be crushed.
► Before closing the safety doors and starting the machine, ensure that no-one
is within the protective covering.
Ensure that unauthorised personnel are unable to switch on the machine
or individual parts!

Inhaling hazardous products


► Product residues may escape into the air.
► Always use the auxiliary materials specified for the relevant working
steps! Clean components before inspecting, repairing, or replacing them!
Read the information on the product safety data sheets accompanying the
products and auxiliary materials!

Welding current
► Welding currents can destroy load cells, antifriction bearings and other
electrical components on the machine.
► Do not channel welding currents from the workpiece join through load cells,
antifriction bearings or other electrical components (e.g. PCs, MECs, PLCs). Do
not perform welding operations within a 2 m radius of any load cells! If you are
not able to observe this minimum distance, remove the load cell before starting
work! Make sure there is sufficient potential equalisation (min. 16 mm²) between
the individual components!
Use only one set of welding equipment at any one time!
Position the workpiece join as close as possible to the welding point on
the component that you wish to weld!

140
Troubleshooting and fault rectification
Secure against being switched on again

Unsuitable climbing aids


► Using unsuitable climbing aids may result in falls and cause serious injuries.
► When performing work above head height, always use the climbing aids
and working platforms provided or safe alternative equipment!
Do not use machine components as a climbing aid!
Always wear a safety harness when working at great heights!
Keep all handles, steps, railings, pedestals, platforms and ladders clean at all times!

Risk of injury from machine parts tipping over


► Machine components may tip over and crush body parts when the compressed
air supply is switched off.
► Remove all bags from the filling tubes before switching off the compressed air to
the machine!
Close off the working area!
Switch off the compressed air supply to the machine using the ball valve before
you perform troubleshooting and fault rectification!
Secure the ball valve against being re-opened!

Pressure impacts
► Pressure impacts may damage the filter regulator, valves, cylinder and
other pneumatic components.
► Always open the compressed air supply of the machine slowly!

8.2 Secure against being switched on again


Secure the machine against restart before commencing any maintenance or
fault rectification work.
⇒ 9.2 Secure against being switched on again, 166

8.3 Behaviour in case of fault


1. For faults that pose an immediate danger to people or property,
initiate EMERGENCY STOP immediately.
2. Determine the cause of the fault.
3. If fault rectification requires working in the danger zone, switch the machine off
and secure against restart.
4. Immediately inform the on-site manager about the fault.
5. Depending on the type of fault, call in an authorised specialist to rectify it or
rectify it yourself.
6. In case of doubt, inform HAVER & BOECKER customer
service. ⇒ 11.5 Contacts for technical questions, 241

9.1 Safety Information on Maintenance

Danger of death due to electric current


► There is danger of death due to contact with live parts. Switched on electrical
components may make uncontrolled movements and lead to severe injuries.
► Switch the main switch off before commencing any work on the machine and
secure the machine against restart!
⇒ 9.2 Secure against being switched on again, 166

Risk of injury from moving parts


► Rotating and/or linearly moving parts can cause serious injuries.
► Switch the machine off before commencing any maintenance work on
moving machine parts and secure the machine against restart!
Wait until all parts have stopped moving!

Risk of injury from improperly performed maintenance work


► Improper maintenance can cause serious injuries and extensive property damage.

► Before commencing the work, make sure there is sufficient space for assembly!
Keep the assembly area clean and tidy. Loose parts scattered around or piled
on top of each other are dangerous!
If components have been removed, make sure they are assembled
correctly, include all fastening elements and tighten all screws to the
specified screw tightening torques!
Before recommissioning, make sure that all maintenance work has been carried
out and completed in accordance with the information and instructions provided
in this manual!
Make sure all covers and safety devices are installed and working
properly! Before switching on, make sure nobody is in the danger zone!

Inhaling hazardous products


► Product residues may escape into the air.
► Always use the auxiliary materials specified for the relevant working
steps! Clean components before inspecting, repairing, or replacing them!
Read the information on the product safety data sheets accompanying the
products and auxiliary materials!

163
Maintenance
Safety Information on Maintenance

Unsuitable climbing aids


► Using unsuitable climbing aids may result in falls and cause serious injuries.
► When performing work above head height, always use the climbing aids
and working platforms provided or safe alternative equipment!
Do not use machine components as a climbing aid!
Always wear a safety harness when working at great heights!
Keep all handles, steps, railings, pedestals, platforms and ladders clean at all times!

Risk of injury from machine parts tipping over


► Machine components may tip over and crush body parts when the compressed
air supply is switched off.
► Remove all bags from the filling tubes before switching off the compressed air to
the machine!
Close off the working area!
Switch off the compressed air supply to the machine using the ball valve before
you perform troubleshooting and fault rectification!
Secure the ball valve against being re-opened!

Moving machine parts


► After a drip in compressed air pressure or after a longer period of standstill all
valves and cylinders move back into their basic position upon switching on again.
Persons and their limbs can be crushed.
► Before closing the safety doors and starting the machine, ensure that no-one
is within the protective covering.
Ensure that unauthorised personnel are unable to switch on the machine
or individual parts!

Risk of burns from hot surfaces


► Product and parts can heat up to over 60°C during operation. This presents a
risk of burns.
► Do not touch any hot surfaces!
Wear heat-resistant work clothes and protective gloves!
Allow parts to cool sufficiently before touching them!

164
Maintenance
Safety Information on Maintenance

Welding current
► Welding currents can destroy load cells, antifriction bearings and other
electrical components on the machine.
► Do not channel welding currents from the workpiece join through load cells,
antifriction bearings or other electrical components (e.g. PCs, MECs, PLCs). Do
not perform welding operations within a 2 m radius of any load cells! If you are
not able to observe this minimum distance, remove the load cell before starting
work! Make sure there is sufficient potential equalisation (min. 16 mm²) between
the individual components!
Use only one set of welding equipment at any one time!
Position the workpiece join as close as possible to the welding point on
the component that you wish to weld!

Pressure impacts
► Pressure impacts may damage the filter regulator, valves, cylinder and
other pneumatic components.
► Always open the compressed air supply of the machine slowly!

Environmental damaged caused by improper handling of


environmentally hazardous lubricants
► Lubricants leaking from lubrication points can enter the soil or groundwater
and pollute the environment.

Prerequisites for safe welding, burning and grinding operations

9.4 Prerequisites for safe welding, burning and grinding operations

Welding current
► Welding currents can destroy load cells, antifriction bearings and other
electrical components on the machine.
► Do not channel welding currents from the workpiece join through load cells,
antifriction bearings or other electrical components (e.g. PCs, MECs, PLCs). Do
not perform welding operations within a 2 m radius of any load cells! If you are
not able to observe this minimum distance, remove the load cell before starting
work! Make sure there is sufficient potential equalisation (min. 16 mm²) between
the individual components!
Use only one set of welding equipment at any one time!
Position the workpiece join as close as possible to the welding point on
the component that you wish to weld!

Before performing welding, burning or grinding work, prepare the machine as follows.
1. Clean any dust and flammable materials from the machine and the
surrounding area.
2. Cover all rubber and plastic components to prevent the welding sparks from
causing any damage.
3. Make sure that the work place is well ventilated, while avoiding drafts.
4. Switch off the machine and secure against accidental start-up.
5. Switch off all electronic components or disconnect all the electrical
connections from the component you wish to work on.
6. Make sure that the welding points are metallically bright.
7. Make sure that the workpiece has a clear path into the welding zone.

Product residues on the machine lead


to increased wear of the components
and can have a negative effect on
weighing precision and production
rate. Therefore, in particular force
1 transducer [1] and bag chair [2] must
be free of product residues. Stuck on
product in the dedusting channel [3]
can reduce the dedusting power and

Adjust the filling channel aeration

IMPORTANT
The handling steps described below are to be performed for each filling station.

Fig. 9-20: Adjust the filling channel aeration

Air is blown into the filling channel with the aeration nozzle so that the product can
flow better and can be transported better into the bag. This is particularly necessary
for badly flowing and settled products.
Products which are particularly heavily enriched with air must be provided with every
more air during filling. Because the additionally fed air has to escape through the bag
wall. If too much air has been fed the production rate may lower and the dust
exposure may increase.
The filling box aeration therefore has to be adapted to the specific relationships and
is dependent on the bags used and the product to be filled. Only as much as is
required must be fed.
