Warning Notes - Kongskilde MULTIAIR FC 3000 Manuel Utilisateur

EN
This user manual applies to the Kongskilde Multiair
blower model FC 3000 series.
Preface:
This users manual has been prepared in accordance
with EU-directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive).
Marking:
See enclosed Declaration of Conformity.
Description:
The Kongskilde Multiair blower is designed for use with
pneumatic conveying systems, but is also suitable for
other industrial pneumatic solutions.
Materials may not be transported through the Multiair
blower. Air volumes containing corrosive, adhesive or
dusty particles may not pass through the Multiair blow-
er. The air temperature may not exceed 70°C at the
intake of the blower.

Warning notes:

Make sure all guards are in place and properly secured
during operation.
Always disconnect power to the blower prior to repair
and maintenance. The main switch must be switched
off and locked to ensure the blower cannot be started
by mistake.
Never put your hand into the blower intake or outlet
while the blower is running.
The blower should be installed in an accessible
location for maintenance and repair.
The working area around the blower should be clear
and trip free.
Make sure to have adequate lighting when working on
the blower.
To avoid any unintentional contact with the impeller,
pipes of minimum 800 mm length, with a diameter of
maximum Ø 200 mm must be installed onto the intake
and outlet connections (intake connection only relevant
for the Multiair blower type S).
These pipes must be installed with bolt clamps, where
tools are necessary for dismantling.
In case it is not possible to use minimum 800 mm
tubes, it must be insured that there within minimum
800 mm from the separator are used bolt clamps,
where tools are necessary for dismantling.
The reason for this is, that according to EU-directive
2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive), it is not allowed for
2
any unauthorized personnel to gain access to rotating
parts. In case quick couplings are used, unautorized
personnel could dismantle the pipes, and have access
to rotating parts.
The blower speed is fully adjustable and controlled from
the operator´s panel. In order not to overload the impel-
ler and motor, the blower speed can not be set higher
than what the blower is designed for. Changing the
electrical equipment in order to increase the maximum
blower speed is not allowed.
Use eye protection when working close to the air outlet
of the blower. In case of small particles in the conveyed
material, these might be blown from the air outlet of the
blower, causing eye damage.
If any abnormal vibrations or noise are observed, the
blower must be stopped immediately, and qualified as-
sistance must be called.
Mounting:
The Multiair blower is delivered from the factory ready
to use, with pre installed control box, and needs only
to be connected to the power supply and pipes on the
blower intake / outlet.
The Multiair blower is designed so that it can be in-
stalled outdoors. If the blower is delivered with a flow-
or pressure control, the pressure transmitter must be
mounted on a solid surface without any vibration. Make
sure that the blower is installed so that it is secured
against falls and tipping over.
If the blower is to be moved, a forklift or similar device
should be used, which lifts from underneath the blower
base frame. The forks must be long enough to lift both
sides of the blower.
Ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to
the room from which the blower takes in air.
Please ensure that the blower and control box are in-
stalled so that there is easy access for operation and
maintenance.
The blower must be installed on a stable surface which
is levelled and horizontal. Adjust the machine shoes
under the blower so that they support uniformly on the
surface. It is not necessary to secure the blower to the
surface.
The blower is rated for maximum 40°C ambient tem-
perature. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, the blowers
lifetime could be reduced.
Installation of the pipes:
The conveying performance of a pneumatic conveying
system is highly dependent on the layout of the piping.
It is therefore important to follow the layout, that has
been designed for the pipe system, for the installation
in question. Bear in mind that the joints of the pipe sys-
tem must be tight, as leaks will reduce the conveying
performance.
