I, signatory of this document, hereby
DECLARE
on my own responsibility that the system mentioned above as subject of this declaration
IS IN CONFORMITY
with the provisions of EEC directive for Italy 93/68/CEE and subsequent revisions for abroad 98/37/CEE and subsequent revisions with the previsions of Low Voltage Directive 73/23/CEE and subsequent revisions with the provisions of the Electromagnetic Compatibility directive: 89/336/CEE and subsequent revisions
2 Tecnichal information
2.1 Technical characteristics
The pneumatic conveyors supplied by us have been designed to perform best in environments with a low relative humidity count (maximum acceptable humidity is 30%) and with temperatures ranging from a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 40. When processing food products, in order to guarantee the maximum inalterability and hygiene of the product treated, the entire line of pneumatic conveyors must operate in a clean isolated environment, ideally with the above described characteristics. Under no circumstances should oily or volatile products be present in such environments. Additionally, there must not be sugary substances present in the air as these deposit harmful films on the suction and air intake components (aspiration filters, electric motors or any other kind of rotating mechanical element). The presence of these substances in the working environment can damage beyond repair seals or protections designed to insulate the wiring of the electrical system, thereby jeopardizing their safety and reliability. Regular maintenance and preventive cleaning are not always sufficient to guarantee the good performance of the entire conveying system if the system is operating in an environment that is not perfectly protected from harmful agents which, over the course of time, can also be corrosive. The company LANFRANCHI S.r.l. will not, therefore, be held responsible for damage to, or malfunctioning of, the system it has installed if the above listed criteria are not adhered to when the system is effectively installed on the clients premises.
2.2
Environmental conditions
To ensure top machine performance, operating temperatures must be within acceptable limits i.e. not less than + 4C and not exceeding+ 90C . The internal temperature of the electric control cabinet must not exceed + 45C. To satisfy this condition, the electric control cabinet is constantly ventilated and forced ventilation is used, if required.
2.3
Vibrations
The machine has been designed and constructed according to existing standards and accepted vibration levels.
NOISE
On the basis of readings taken using a System of the same type, we can safely say that the maximum operating noise levels of the machine we supply do not exceed 82 Db. The above stated values were measured according to the method described in the following page in compliance with the current standards in force. This value can, however, only be considered as approximate given the fact that, in order to obtain an accurate reading for daily exposure to noise, a further test should be run once the system has been completely installed on the clients premises. This test must take into account the following factors: shape and architecture of the work place; acoustic characteristics of its walls; operational cycle rhythms with reference to the standard values; type of bottle treated.

Section
Irrespective of the total length, these conveyors are always split into lengths of 3 metres eachto facilitate their handling. The strapsused must under no circumstances be passed under the side guides or between one guide and another because this could cause them to be damaged thus endangering production. In order to avoid damage to the conveyor or to any of its components, the straps should be passed beneath the brackets that support the side guides (part. 1 below) and then positioned onto the forks of a normal forklift truck (part. 2 below).
Part. 2
Part. 1
Having ensured that the straps are securely positioned, proceed with the lifting of the section of conveyor and its positioning on the production line taking the utmost care and attention to avoid sudden movements or jolts that could result in the conveyor being damaged. The fans that feed the air conveyor arrive disconnected at the clients premises in order to facilitate the handling of the conveyor and must only be reconnected to the conveyor once it has been positioned. In order to avoid possible accidents to personnelat work during the handling of the conveyor sections, it is good practice, for the purposes of safety, to warn all those who are in the vicinity that a dangerous operation is underway and to be aware of the movements .
1.3
Bottles release section
This section has a variable lenght (beetween 700 mm. and 1000 mm.) and is handled using some chains.
The chain are hooked: frontally to the levers frame (det. 1 below);
on the back, on the discreption of the operator, or to the cross beam A (Fig. 1 below) or directly to the camera (Fig. 2 below).

After making sure that the chains are fixed, you can go on with the conveyor lifting and its positioning on the outfeed supports (part. 1 below), being careful not to carry out hard movements that can damage the conveyor.
part. 1
In order to avoid that during the section movement some problems to the staff happen, its aways a good antiaccident norm to inform everybody near the machine that dangerous operation is carried out and its necessary attention to movements.
1.4
Combiner section
This section is moved by using some polyester bands The bands pass around the Combiner frame as you can see here below, paying attention not to damage the frame.
Lift the Combiner section (below) selecting one of the systems described here below: bringing the extremities of the bands until the hook of a crane (part. A below);
part. A

passing the extremities of the bands around the forks of a lift (below).
In both the cases, keep the structure in balance in order to avoid damages to the persons and to the gears.

WARNING! THE DEEPING OF THIS PARAGRAPH HAS TO BE CARRIED OUT ONLY IF ON THE SUPPLY SOME ABSOLUTE FILTERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED
1.5
Absolute filter
TRANSPORTATION
Absolute filters carriage takes place by means of polyester ropes and overhead. Put the ropes at the basis of the filters (part. 1 below), so that during the carriage they dont move, damaging the filter it self and eventually someone near the machine. People must be careful not to stay in places that may be dangerouas for personal safety
Part.1

PLACING
Lining up tajes place on pedestals (part. 1 below) specially mades in order to be fixed to the filters support (part. 2 below). These pedestals avoid the absolute filter a to be an obstacle for the slide of the bottles and can however be reached by the operator for eventual maintenance. During thre placing it is very important thet the head of exit of the filter and collector of the conveyor B are correctly connencted (part. 3 below). After the placing of teh absolute filter A, take palce connenction with the fire fan C, wich is moved to using polyester ropes. After that fire fan is leaned and fixed to the filters head (part. 4 below).

2.2
Bottles release section
In order to adjust the bottle processing transfer guides to the correct height, it is necessary to take into consideration the transition points from one element to another of the various sections of which the unscrambler unit is composed. The air conveyor guides (below) must be capable of receiving a bottle without the bottle neck becoming trapped between the guide and the conveyor. In order to make the adjustment, a bottle of the same type as that to be processed must be used. Place the base of the bottle on the unloading surface (det. A below) and regulate the 4 screws B of the support belt (det. 1 below) so that the ring (Bottleneck ring), under the screw neck of the bottle is approx.1 mm. higher than the air conveyor guides (det. C below). In det. 2 shows a standard bottle with pick-up measurement Hi.e. the distance between the base of the bottle and its upper part with the ring (bottle neck ring). The measurement H - 1 corresponds to the exact position in which the air conveyor guides must be placed in order to ensure that the bottles to be removed are successfully picked up.

Side guides
The regulation of the guides must be checked every 1000 hours of operation. The vibrations provoked by the blowing fans (installed on the conveyor chambers) could cause some of the guide blocking clamps to loosen, after a long operational cycle. The procedures for adjusting and tightening the support clamps are described as follows: loosen the knob A to enable the free sliding of the stem that supports the side guides; adjust the guides so that the bottle moves along smoothly without it rotating on itself, so that the distance is around 5/6 mm. (det. 2 below); once the smooth passage of the bottle along the conveyor has been checked, turn the knob A again to secure the guide support rod B in the pre-set position.

Air delivery valve
Between the central body of each fan (shell) and the chamber of the pneumatic chamber there is a manifold for the regulating of the air flow (det. A below). Inside the collector you can find a regulation valve for the air flow becoming from the valve; it can be manually ruled as described in the following paragraphs.
BEFORE CHEKING THE OPENING OF TWO FLOW VALVES, ENSURE THAT THE BLOWING FAN IS ROTATING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, IF THIS ROTATING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, CHECK THAT THE POWER CABLES ARE CORRECTLY HOOKED UP IN THE WIRING OF THE TERMINAL BOARD INSTALLED ON THE ELECTRIC MOTOR OF THE FAN ITSELF
14

The air pressure should only be regulated if a considerable drop in the pushing pressure of the bottles is encountered. The regulating of the manifold with the system enabled should be carried out as follows. If there are any Electric Motors controlled by INVERTER installed on the conveyor: loosen the knob B, located on the slide of the manifold A, so as to enable the smooth movement of the slide along the regulation groove (below); move the two slides to a point halfway along the groove marked -(Det. 1 below);

Usually 3 frequencies are used and these are set as follows: MINIMUM frequency (at rest) which is activated automatically (after a given pre-set programmed period) as a result of a prolonged stand-by stoppage of the production cycle of the system; INTERMEDIATE frequency (in dynamic operation) which enables each individual blower, to keep an entire pack of bottles moving (the number of bottles contained in the pack must be slightly greater than than normally moved by the conveyor during the normal production cycle); MAXIMUM frequency (static surge) that conveys the Maximum Peak to each individual blower at a high enough level of power to move, from a static situation, an entire pack of bottles (the number of bottles contained in the pack must must be slightly greater than normally moved by the conveyor during the normal production cycle) after a stoppage during the accumulation phase or after a forced stop.
A
Part. 1
Should the air flow set by the various frequencies programmed be too great or not enough to move the bottles along smoothly, adjust the manifold A increasing + or decreasing - the opening of the two blades of the manifold (Det. 1 above). Once the correct adjustment has been made (for all 3 speeds) lock the 2 regulating slides by screwing down the knobs B (above).
16

If there are no Electric Motors controlled by INVERTER installed on the conveyor: loosen the knob B, located on the slide of the manifold A, so as to enable the smooth movement of the slide along the regulation groove (below); move the two slides to the end of the groove onto the mark - (Det. 1 below);
now adjust the slides, making them move slowly and gradually towards the + sign (Det. 1 below).
A
Part. 1
In the area of the fan to be adjusted, there should already be a certain number (or pack) of bottles in contact with one another (the number of bottles contained in the pack must be slightly less than that normally moved by the conveyor during the normal production cycle). When the pack of bottles start moving and, gradually accelerating, reach an acceptable speed, lock the 2 regulating slides by screwing down the locking knobs B. This operation must be repeated for each fan installed along the pneumatic conveyor.

1 Connections and wiring

The mains of the electrical and pneumatic systems must be calculated to be able to withstand the machines maximum absorption levels, as shown in the Output and consuption table (Ch. C - Technical informations). The electric switchboard is already in conformity with the standards while the feeding line placed behind the switchboard has to be suitably sized and conformed to the electric switchboard to be feeded.
2 Grounding system
The grounding of the system is the responsibility of the client. This system has been built according to the precise characteristics specified in the standard EN 60204-1. This standard dictates that in each user system the protective grounding of all parts of the system and all of the groundings required for the operation of the circuits and used equipment must be carried out by connecting the parts involved to a single ground system.
3 Connection to the main grounding installations

The figure below demonstrates how to connect the grounding of the System to the main grounding installation which should already exist in the building in which the system is being installed.
Machine component connection point Component: mains connecting cable Grounding mains Coupling the parts of the machine
BE SURE THAT THE GROUNDING IS SUITABLE FOR THE WHOLE INSTALLATION, AND KEEPING WITH THE RULES OF THE SECTOR
3.1
Mass linkage
As already mentioned on the previous pages ,the various connecting points between the blocks making up the machine must be interconnected (symbol ) so that the electricity can arrive at the main grounding point (par. Connection to the main grounding installations). In order to guarantee this electrical conductivity, each contact point to which the stranded wire connecting jumper or direct contact is mechanically fastened must be thoroughly cleaned of any kind of deposit (paint, wax, non conductive metal etc.) and dirt (grease, oil and dirt in general). In brief, at the contact point between the two components of the machine there must be clean metal alone.
4 Electrical connections
For this operation, follow general installation standards for the preparation and start-up of electrical systems. The electrical connection is made at the control panel of the machine, the position of which will depend on the overall general layout of the bottling system installation.

Documentation
The electrical diagrams, like the manuals of the electrical componentry used in this supply, are integrating part of this manual. Our long experience in the field of automatic machines and the numerous suggestions of our Customers, led us to insert this important documentation directly in the Electrical Switchboard in order to allow an easier consultation by your technicians. With this purpose a pocket (below) where you can lodge the documentation has been inserted.
If our supply only concerns air conveyors, after this page you will find a further copy of their electric diagram, but if the conveyors are coupled with an unscrambler, their electric diagram is together with the unscramblers one.

Component and operation - AIR CONVEYOR
1 Convering along the line

Once the bottles have been straightened, they are picked up by the unscrambler and conveyed to the air conveyors which transfer them to the subsequent phases of operation (below).
2 Unloading surface
At the outfeed of the extractor star wheel there is a surface which always acts as a reference for the bottle base outfeeding height; this is called the unloading surface (below).
Unloading surface 2
3 Bottles release to the unscrambler

At the air conveyor infeed there is a special release system that comes into operation when deformed bottles are picked up or when bottles are picked up incorrectly. In the Figure below the release system is described in detail. As can be clearly seen, a defective is removed by the conveyor (det. 1), when the sensor positioned on the conveyor detects the bad positioning and sends a signal to the PLC which responds by activating the cylinder, positioned in the upper part of the conveyor (circled below), that in turn opens the guides thus allowing the bottle to fall (det. 2).
Part. 1
Part. 2
4 Brake
This component is used to regulate some phases of the bottles transport along the conveyor and it can be single (Fig. A) and double (Fig. B).
Fig. A
Fig. B
4.1
Single brake
It is installed before the intermediate release (following par.) and through its blades locking (pos. 1 below) and opening (pos. 2 below), it allows to the release to open or close according to the requirements.
Pos. 1
Pos. 2
It is used also to form the bottles packages (bottles trains) in order to allow their better sliding along the conveyor line.
4.2
Double brake
It is installed before the combiner (par. 6) and through its alternate blades locking (pos. 1 below) and opening (pos. 2 below), it avoids that the bottles slide towards the devio combiner while it is moving. In this way the brake allows also the bottles package formation (bottles train). The brake movements are the following:
Freno B
Freno A
Pos. 1 -
if the brake A is closed the bottles stop allowing the brake B locking;
Pos. 1
Pos. 2 if the brake A is opened the bottles move and lean to the brake B closed, in the meanwhile the bottles package forms (bottles train).
Pos. 2
5 Intermediate bottles release

This particular release system (Fig. A) which is started in order to allow to the bottles to fall into a second storage tank, that is needed to feed a supplementary line, or as provisional storage for the bottles waiting to come back on the same production line. In the picture below you can find the system according which the bottles arrive near the release; if it is colsed, it allows them to go on along the same line, while if it is open (Fig. B) they fall into the supplementary tank. This release is always coupled with a brake (previously paragraph).
Fig. A
Fig. B
6 Combiner
This component is installed to distribute, or collect according to the requirements, the bottles from one or more than one conveying lines. It is always advanced by a double brake (par. 4) which assures the lack of bottles during its movement. Through the movement of a rotating frame (below) the bottles flow is modified according to the requirements (Pos. 1 and 2 below).

1 Maintenance
A regular check of all the systems running and an eventual correct maintenance and, if necessary, an immediate replacement of any damaged element before it breaks, become necessary for the good functioning of the whole installation. Respect always the indicated periodicity for the maintenance interventions. All the operations which require the regulating interventions or the eventual replacement of the pneumatic conveyors components have to be carried on only by LANFRANCHI qualified staff.
LANFRANCHI COMPANY DOES NOT ANSWER, IN ANY WAY, ABOUT INADEQUATE USE OF A WRONG MAINTENANCE OF THE EQUIPEMENT.

2.1 Cleaning
If the air pressure results suddenly changeable or insufficient, even after the delivery valves regulation on the collector and the frequency modification on the inverter, it will be necessary the disassembling and the following accurate cleaning of the impellers and the filters installed on the blowers.
BOTTLE NECK GUIDE

The bottle neck slideways (Det.1 below) must be cleaned (at the contact points) at least every 10 operating hours. In particularly dirty environments with sugary residues (syrups), cleaning should be carried out using a clean cloth dampened with denatured alcohol at 90. Rub the cloth repeatedly along the guides (Det.1 Figure alongside) until the film which has deposited during the systems operating hours has been completely removed. On the other hand, for environments with systems exclusively processing still or carbonated water or oils, this operation should be performed at least once a month.
Part. 1
Regular cleaning in this way will ensure the smooth transiting of the bottle trains along the entire length of the pneumatic conveyor.

AIR FILTER
If the pneumatic conveyor system is operating in particularly saturated in sugar solutions (syrups and such like) combined with a very high degree of humidity, deposits of foreign substances could build up (within a very short period of time) both on the impeller (Det. B below) of the fan and on the exterior of the (Det. A below) air filter installed on the shell of the blower. Run a check on all the filters installed on the blowers at least once every 10 hours of operation. The build-up of these detrimental deposits can hamper the correct functioning of the blower fan and the resulting drop in pressure necessary for moving the bottle trains through the system.

The disassembling of the air filter does not involve any special operations and is quick and easy to perform. At the two ends of the container A of the air filter there are two quick release clips (Det.1 below).
A
Part. 1
Press down slightly with your index finger to release the two gripping levers of the clips and free the eyelet B from the retaining hook C (Det. 1 below).
Part.1

Completely remove the cover D from the shell block (below). At this stage, the filter E can be easily accessed and removed from its housing for inspection. Wash both sides of the filter under running water.
A
Repeat this operation 2 or 3 times for a few minutes, shaking the filter under the running water (below). If this is not sufficient to remove the film which has formed, wash the filter with a steam jet at 100C. Hold the hot water jet (the temperature of which must be between 40 and 50 C) at a distance of at least 50 cmfrom the filter so that the pressure of the jet does not irremediably ruin the filter.

Allow the filter to dry at an ambient temperature of approx. 20 25 C (below).
The filter should be completely replaced after a maximum of 4-5 washes. It needs replacing after repeated washings and dryings due to the fact that the special material of which it is made starts to lose its filtering properties.

FAN
Before proceeding to wash the blower, separate the Electric motor from it and store it in a dry, segregated place. Then re-assemble the parts and connect the terminal board to the blower only when it is perfectly dry. The same type of checking and cleaning procedures must also be run periodically on the impeller of the blower fan. Check the conditions of the impeller with the same frequency as that applied to the air filters. In order to avoid irreparable damage to the power supply system of each drive unit installed on the fans, the wiring from the terminal board to each of the motors requiring disassembling must be disconnected. After identifying the terminal board of the motor in question (Det. 1 below), loosen and remove the fastening screws from the cover (Det. 2 below).
Part. 1
Part. 2

Using the special wrench provided, loosen and completely remove the contact fastening nuts. Then slide all the eyelets of the contacts out of their seats (Det. 1 below). Still using the wrench provided, loosen the pressure clamp A (identifiable by its grey colour) holding the wiring cable in place, so that the latter can be removed from the connector block, together with the cables and fastening eyelets (Det. 2 below).
A
Part. 2
Part. 1
In order to avoid damaging the contacts, great caution should be exercised when performing these operations.
10

Once the electric power cables have been disconnected, isolate the latter so as to avoid placing them next to heat sources or in damp areas (keeping them off the ground).
Now the electric motor can be disassembled, following the procedures described below: using a suitable wrench, loosen the fastening nuts of the larger outer flange (Det. 1 alongside). When this operation is being carried out, it might be necessary to support the electric motor manually in order to prevent it from unexpectedly sliding out of its stud bolts (these always remain attached to the shell of the fan);
Part. 1
exercising great caution, remove the flange and motor from the fastening stud bolts; rest the motor on a bench, making it as stable as possible and, using a suitable socket wrench(Det. 1 alongside), completely remove the screw from the electric motor output head and remove the impeller from the pin. Proceed to clean the impeller using the same method as that used for cleaning the air filters (this operation is described in par. Air filter).
Part.1
Once the check has been run and the fan cleaned, wherever necessary, reassemble the parts on the body of the blower, by following the above steps in reverse order.

GREASING
This operation has to be carried out when the machine is locked.
Where should the machinery be lubricated?

The Combiner section point which requires a periodic lubrication is the gear that allows the Combiner rotation (below).
When should the machinery be lubricated?

For a continuous and correct functioning the graesing operations have to be carried out at regular time intervals, indicated in working hours.
Greasing frequence:
24 h.
Regular, periodical greasing of these parts so crucial to the Combiner unit will guarantee machine efficiency and extended production life.
12

How should the machinery be lubricated ?
Attraverso lutilizzo di un pennello distribuire il grasso nel punto di incastro tra ingranaggio e cremagliera in modo che al ripristino del ciclo di produzione il movimento del devio - riunitore distribuisca ulteriormente il grasso su tutto il meccanismo.
What is necessary to lubricate ?

For a better production we advise to use some SYNTHETIC greases with a termic large interval of use. Hereby you will find the two recommended sinthetical greases: ESSO Unirex S2; Mobil Mobiltemp SHC

MEASURING INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
These values are surveyed through a particular manometer described in the picture below: This particular kind of manometer is composed by:
1 2 3 4
1) 2)
A FIL cap for the input or filling up of Red Gauge Oil ; (inserted in the packing); A graduated scale from - 0.1 to + 8.0 ;
3) A ZERO SET knob fot the calibration to the Environmental Atmospheric Pressure (1013 mb); 4) A level to permit the correct collocation of the instrument on the Canister group you have to check. The packing box is equipped with the following accessories: 1) a sealed packing of RED GAUGE OIL, complete with the special injection neck;
2) two 1/8 rubber tube hoses, supplied with the related fixing bolts and washers, that have to be fixed on the Canister group (for this kind of operation, at least three 1/8 rubber tube hoses are necessary); 3) a double tube (separable) in rubber with a length of 2,5 mt.
15

Instrument assembling and calibration
The diagnostic manometer on the Air filters efficiency can be installed directly on every Canister group. You have to check that it is used as portable instrument to apply temporarly on the single Canister group to be diagnosed.
WE ADVISE ALWAYS THE INSTRUMENT DEFINITIVE FIXING ON THE CANNISTER GROUP TO BE DIAGNOSED
In order to prepare the instrument, after the packing opening, carry on as follows: in the upper part of the Manometer there is a FILL cap; unscrew it and keep it out from the manometer body; screw, after having kept off the provisional closing cap, on the RED GAUGE OIL bottle the special injection neck and pour the whole contents inside the hole.
Once closed the cap we can go on with the instrument calibration in order to carry on the air filters check inserted in the Canister groups.
16

DEFINITIVE INSTRUMENT INSTALLATION
This operation can be carried on both during the production and when the installation is off
Manometer fixing and levelling:

For the instrument, we advise to get a fixing support on the structure of every Canister Group on which you want to install the instrument. The picture below shows how to carry on the instrument fixing:
A
if you decide to use the portable instrument, we advise to buy the special optional A-612 shown in the manual supplied with the packing. before fixing definitly the instrument to the support, in order to obtain a more precise reading, it is necessary to put it horizontal. To obtain this aim, it is necessary to use the special bubble integrated with the instrument and indicated by the arrow in the picture on side.
17

Manometer gauging
BOTH YOU USE AN UNIC PORTABLE MANOMETRE FOR THE CONTROL OF SEVERAL CANISTER GROUPS, AND SEVERAL MANOMENTERS HAVE BEEN FIXED ON THE INSTALLATION, THE GAUGING OF THE INSTRUMENTS HAS TO BE CARRIED ON BEFORE EVERING MEASURING It is necessary to withdraw the double rubber tube, contained in the packing, and separate it in two single tubes as required for the application (below). One of the two tubes is marked, in all its length, by a RED line.
TO MANOMETER GAUGE
TO CANNISTER UNIT The function of this line is to allow the necessary distinction to the correct instrument connection to the Canister Group. Through the ZERO SET marked knob (Fig. A) regulate the manometer indicator on 0 (Fig. B).
Fig. A
Fig. B
18

Tubes connection to the manometer
Insert the two tubes extremities into the two rubber tube hoses, obtained in the upper part of the instrument. In the bulb on the right side of the instrument you can read the indication LOW (Low Pressure) while on the left you can read HIGH (High Pressure).
HIGH LOW
In the picture below you have the scheme of a Canister Group installed on an air conveyor. The arrow indicates the air flow directional way.
19

Differential pressure measuring
In order to measure the Differential Pressure DP on the Prefilter b it is necessary to operate as follows: insert the free extremity of the tube correspondent to the High Pressure (HIGH) in the tube rubber hose recalled by the particular 1 below.
a Part. 1
insert the free extremity of the tube correspondent to the Low Pressure (LOW) in the tube rubber hose recalled by the particular 1 below.
a Part. 1 20

In order to measure the Differential pressure DP on the absolute filter c operate as follows: Lettin unchanged the disposition of the other two extremities already inserted into the reading manometer, insert the free extremity of the tube correspondent to the high pressure (HIGH) in the rubber tube hose shown in the part. 1 below.
a Part. 1
The extremity of the rubber tube, previously unthreated fron the rubber tube hose shown in the part. 1 behind, has to be inserted in the rubber tube hole shown in the part. 1 below.
a Part. 1
21

The following reading and interpretation of the values pointed out by the manometer has to be expounded in this way: 1) When the filter is clean the differential pressure DP will have to be:
Prefilter : D P = 13 mm H O 2
Absolute Filter : D P = 25 mm H O max 2
22

2) Maximum DP acceptable conditions on the single filters (besides these limits it is necessary the cleaning/replacement of the air filters): Prefilter : DP = 30 mm H O max 2
Absolute Filtero : DP = 60 mm H O max 2
All the pointed out values have to be expounded considering the following points: 1) The DP values measured with the differential manometer are not influenced neither by the fan capacity, nor by the upstream and downstream single filters conditions. 2) The total DP measuring (between the fan delivery point and the chambe input) is not significant as far as the single filters condition evaluation is concerned.
23

SUMMARY
1) As three steps filtration we mean the series connection of three filters: a) b) c) Cloth STD. Pre-filter with efficiency 85% D.O.P. (Inserted in the first Canister INOX) Absolute filter with efficiency 99.99% D.O.P. (Inserted in the second Canister INOX)
2) Maximum DP acceptable conditions on the single filters (besides these limits it is necessary the cleaning/replacement of the air filters) Lack of differential pressure D P max. acceptable , on all filters in clean conditions: a) b) Prefilter : DP = 13 mm H O 2 Absolute filter : DP = 25 mm H O 2

FILTER CONDENSATION DRAINAGE

Although the pneumatic system has been designed to operate with dry air, some residual humidity may build up as it passes through the filter. This humidity tends to condense and deposit on the bottom of the lower casing "A" (below) enclosing the filter. When the water deposits due to the condensation build up, this can jeopardize the performance of the air filtering system, so that it becomes necessary to drain the water deposited at the bottom of the transparent casing. To do so, access the black cap "B" (below) underneath the casing (det.1 below) and unscrew it in order to drain off the water. Only reclose the cap after all the liquid deposited has been thoroughly drained out of the casing.
Part. 1

REPLACING THE AIR FILTER
In the lower part of the Filter-Reducer Unit, located underneath the central block of the gauge, there is a component A which is cylindrically shapedand made of plastic material (det. 1 below): unscrew the knob manually by turning it in a clockwise direction (det. 1 below); separate it completely from the main unit "B".
The gold-coloured filter is easily identifiable (arrow below).
Part. 1

Still working manually, unscrew the ring nut "C" underneath the filter (below), remove it from its seat and replace it with a new one. Now, screw down the ring nut "C" so as to tighten the new filter in its seat and screw the cylindrical section "A" back into the place on the unit "B" (below).
The replacement filter may be requested from the LANFRANCHI S.r.l. Client Technical Assistance Service either by phone or fax. The manufacturer will not be held liable to replace parts under warranty that have been damaged through improper handling.

Then, in order to ensure that no further adjustments are accidentally made to the know, re-lock it into position by sliding it downwards (det. 1 below).

AIR EXIT PRESSURE
The air exit pressure can be adjusted with a very simple operation (below) On the electro-valve you can find a screw for the regulation (det. 1 below). Adjust the exit pressure following your requirements, using a screw driver (Fig. A). Turning the screw towards left the exit pressure increases, turning it towards right the pressure reduces (Fig. A); carry out this operation checking always the value directly on the special manometer "M" (Fig. A).

Inspection of the presence of air in the circuit
An important operation for the good working of the pneumatic circuit is the inspection of the presence of air in the machine circuit. You can carry out this working with a very simple operation (below). On the electro-valve you can find a pushbutton for the manual working of the presence of air in the circuit (det. 1 below).

Unclamp the pushbutton (det. 1 below), turning it from "POS. 0" to "POS. 1" (det. 2 below) and press (det. 3 below). Once carried out the working turn the pushbutton to "POS. 0"

Maintenance
FILTER CONDENSATION DRAINAGE

Although the pneumatic system has been designed to operate with dry air, some residual humidity may build up as it passes through the filter. This humidity tends to condense and deposit on the bottom of the lower casing "A" enclosing the filter. When this condensation reaches a certain level a tap drains off the excess liquid, conveying it to the exterior of the cup shaped casing (det. 1 below). We recommend, nonetheless, that you connect a flexible rubber hose to the trap outlet, so as to convey the condensation to a drain (det. 2 below).

REPLACING THE AIR FILTER
In the lower part of the Filter-Reducer Unit, located underneath the central block of the gauge, there is a component A which is cylindrically shapedand made of plastic material (det. 1 below): unscrew the knob manually by turning it in a clockwise direction (det. 1 below); separate it completely from the main unit "B".
The gold-coloured filter is easily identifiable (arrow 1 below).
part. 1
19

Still working manually, unscrew the ring nut "C" underneath the filter (below), remove it from its seat and replace it with a new one. Now, screw down the ring nut "C" so as to tighten the new filter in its seat and screw the cylindrical section "A" back into the place on the unit "B" (below).
The replacement filter may be requested from the LANFRANCHI S.r.l. Client Technical Assistance Service either by phone or fax. The manufacturer will not be held liable to replace parts under warranty that have been damaged through improper handling.

In addition to the size change operations involving the unscrambler equipment described in Ch. Size change, another important adjustment must be made to facilitate the smooth passage of the bottles along the bottling line , i.e. the adjusting of the air conveyor side guides. This adjustment takes place: MANUALLY as described to the Ch. Trasportation and installation, in par. Side guides; AUTOMATICALLY when the air conveyors are equipped with pneumatically regulated guides , i.e. guides regulated by means of air pistons that vary the distance of the guides each time that the bottle size to be processed is changed from the keypad of the main control panel. Automatic regulating operations must always be carried out when the machine and the conveyors are not in operation.
