1.1 Safety notes

The "safety instructions" contained in this operating manual shall be generally applicable.
In addition, the following specific safety instructions shall be observed when using poorly floatable
materials (SAVEOMAT IGS M1 CF) on the funnel weighers:

1.1.1 Mechanics

− Safety notes on the mechanical assembly/disassembly

During assembly/disassembly the SAVEOMAT IGS M1 CF has to be screwed to the respective flange
(base plate), since otherwise there would be the danger of tipping over.
If the FB CF partially heat up more than 60°C because of hot material proportioned, the temperature-
threatened elements should be labelled with danger notes accordingly.
The specialist personnel authorized to do assembly, disassembly, and maintenance work must be
reminded of possible risks in dealing with pneumatically operated shut-off units. When assembling the
funnel weigher the readability of the manometer (pressure gauge) has to be paid attention to.

Fasten the weigher hopper top (2) to the weighing funnel (3) by means of the quick clamps.
Now insert the components cautiously in the weigher rack and fasten the collecting funnel by means of
the clamping plates provided for this purpose on the base plate.

2.5.3 Hinging the weigher hopper

Tilt the weigher hopper slightly to one side. Then raise it and hinge it. When hinging the hopper, make
sure that the holding bolts attached to its sides rest on the recess provided in the retaining fork.
When the weigher hopper is hinged, the rear pin of the fastening flange (5, fig. 2.11) must rest in the
provided guide loop. Now click the fastening flange with the filter cloth attached to it into place in the
catching elements of the supporting plate as far as it will go.
For sealing the space between the conveyor and the outlet of the weighing funnel, make sure that the
rubber profile fixed to the weighing funnel is slipped over the inlet.
Finally attach the hose connections for the pneumatic cushions.

Make absolutely sure not to twist the filter cloths laterally to avoid any pre-loading of the
weigher hopper, which could lead to measuring errors! Do the assembling with care. Prevent
any action of lateral forces! Load cells are precision gauges!

Use the NW 150 flexible hose for the connection to the hopper. The clearance between the
outlet of the hopper and the connection flange of the funnel weigher should be at least 100
mm to ensure sufficient flexibility of the connection.

 A rigid connection between the weigher hopper and the hopper would transfer shocks,
which, under adverse conditions, can disturb the measurement.

If possible, the hopper and the funnel weigher should be in one line so that the material can
flow vertically. The material must be supplied to the weigher hopper trouble-free. Bridge
formation or uneven filling of the hopper causes failures.

2.6 Compressed-air supply

2.7 Installation of further components

2.7.1 Sensor of charging screw speed

The rotational speed reading of today's extruders is still derived from the speedometer voltage of the
driving motor. This method of measurement does neither ensure sufficient precision nor provide real-
time values. For this application the rotational speed must therefore be measured digitally.
Sensing the rotational speed of the charging screw digitally allows real-time synchronization of the
mass throughput measured with the rotational speed of the charging screw. The scanned time can
thus be adapted dynamically to the different operating points of the extruder and disturbing influences
of the feeding behaviour of the charging screw can be eliminated. The algorithm for the mass
throughput measurement is self-optimising.
Inductive proximity switches are used due to their good price-performance ratio and easy installation.

4. Control LED lights up when the switch mark passes by (provided that the switching distance is
adjusted correctly)
5. Gap size for the switching distance: 1 - 3 mm
On principle, the proximity switch can be installed at any place of the drive. In most cases, however,
installation at the extruder charging screw will be the simplest solution. The following boundary
conditions are prerequisite for the successful installation:
− The number of impulses per charging screw rotation depends on the place of installation. It must
be 1 or an integral multiple of 1 and can be adjusted within a range from 1 to 999 impulses per
rotation
− The maximum permissible switching rate of the proximity switch is 180 Hz, i.e. 180 impulses per
second

Inductive proximity switches react to ferromagnetic material, e.g. iron or steel. If a switch
mark made of the respective material enters the operating space of the sensor (p. 5, fig.
2.10), the proximity switch reacts, switches on the LED (p. 4, fig. 2.10) and switches the
output alert.

2.7.2 Notes on the installation of the inductive proximity switch for screw
speed sensing in dosing systems:

Dosing systems usually do not offer a possibility to install the inductive proximity switch in such a way
that a rotating part of the gear or of the driving motor can be used as a signal source Therefore it is
necessary to drill a hole into the charging screw case and to provide it with a M 12 x 1 thread, if
possible. The proximity switch is installed in a plastic case so that the suggested place of installation
can be considered as absolutely uncritical.

2 - Wall of the case 6 - Front view
3 - Charging hole 7 - Top view
4 - Driving motor 8 - Inductive proximity switch

Since, as already mentioned, there is no possibility to install the inductive proximity switch at a suitable
place of the drive, there is no other place for the installation. The proximity switch thus installed uses
the webs of the charging screw for screw speed sensing.

The proximity switch is equipped with an output stage which is only conditionally short-
circuit proof. Avoid any short circuits in the electrical installation!

2.7.3 Alarm light (optional)

The output provided for the alarm light supplies a direct voltage of 24V and a current of max. 500mA.
Since the recommended xenon discharge lamps (2 watts) can draw a higher current especially while
charging the capacitor, a resistance of 47 / 5W must be connected in series with the lamp. This
provides sufficient protection for the output.
Alternatively a 24V relay can be connected so that also other currents or voltages can be switched via
the potential-free contacts and the thus necessary external supply.

Figure 15: Power supply unit

The power supply unit (fig. 2.16) provided by iNOEX is a so-called C-bar module. In almost all cases
these bars serve for receiving the cable clamps and other modules. They are thus constituent of all
extruder control consoles. The power supply unit is mounted by simply clicking it onto these bars.

Selector switch S1 (fig. 2.16) serves for switching between the mains voltages 115 V and 230
V. Make sure that the correct supply tension was selected by means of switch S1 before you
switch on power supply for the first time!

 Only adequately qualified staff should work on this power supply unit or in its proximity. In
operating conditions shock-hazard-protected parts of the power supply unit are necessarily
dangerously energized.
Moreover, the temperature of the heat sink (fig. 2.16) can rise up to 100 degrees Celsius.

The power supply unit must not be assembled in an immediate proximity of main voltage
feeds or drive regulators. The clearance above and below the power supply unit should be at
least 80 mm; lateral clearance should be at least 50 mm. The power supply unit should be
connected, if possible, to the control voltage available with most extruders via a isolating
transformer to minimize disturbing influences.

3 Maintenance
The SAVEOMAT IGS M1 CF is maintenance-free except the following items:

1. Prior to every change of material die funnel weigher should be cleaned. Pay attention to deposits
especially in the area of the load cells, the pneumatic cushions the weigher hopper and the filter
cloths.
Proceed with the required care during cleaning with regard to the sensitiveness of the load cells!

2. Check the water separator of the pressure reducing station (see figure 2.2) regularly and empty it
if necessary. It is not possibly to define a particular maintenance period, since the quality of the
air net available is decisive.

3.1 Exchanging the pneumatic cushions

Since the pneumatic cushions are consumable parts they have to be checked regularly and
exchanged if necessary.
Proceed as follows when exchanging the pneumatic cushions:
(1) Loosen the connections for the pneumatic cushions.
(2) Remove the retaining fork for the weigher hopper.
(3) Lift the weigher hopper sideward out of the weigher rack.
(4) Loosen the weigher hopper top by means of the stenter hooks from the weigher hopper.
(5) There are four screws in the weigher hopper. Loosen these screws to take out the pneumatic
cushion.
(6) Insert the new pneumatic cushion (available as a complete spare part) and fasten it in the
weigher hopper again by means of the 4 screws.
(7) Fasten the weigher hopper and the weigher hopper top to each other again via the stenter
hooks and hang them into the weigher rack again.
(8) Attach the connections for the pneumatic cushions again.

3.2 Exchanging load cell

The SAVEOMAT IGS M1 CF has two load cells. The following conditions are necessary to replace a
load cell:
− The materials supply must be closed or interrupted (see chapter 2.5)
− The weigher hopper must be empty.

Correct the calibrating factor after every exchange of a load cell!

Figure 19: Dismounting the load cell

For exchanging a load cell you must dismount it from the supporting plate. Mind the following:
(1) Switch off the power supply of the igs and remove the cover from the switch box.
(2) Disconnect the connecting cable of the load cell from clamps 29-33 (see fig. 2.2, module igs-imis).
(3) Unhinge the weigher hopper.
(4) Loosen the clamping of the stop pins of the overload protecting device and remove these.
(5) Loosen the stop screws on the load cell. These are located at the side of the load cell’s spacer
block.
(6) Remove the load cell fastening screws (2 pcs). These are located beneath the supporting plate
and extent into the load cell.
(7) Now detach the load cell with the stop pin carefully from the supporting plate.

3.2.5 Dismounting the load cell from the stop pin

(1) Provide a vice with protective pads of aluminium or plastic.

(2) Clamp the load cell carefully in the vice at the position marked with an "X".
(3) Loosen the stop screws of the load cell at the stop pin.
(4) Remove the stop pin.
(5) Unclamp the faulty load cell and mount the new load cell. Mind the right position of the spacer
pipe! (see fig. 3.4)
(6) Mount the parts in the reverse order and mind the spacer metal sheet between load cell and
retaining fork.

To avoid damages when mounting the parts to the supporting plate you should make
absolutely sure that the retaining fork does not rest on any of the stop pins! Put in the
weigher hopper with the separating metal sheet for a test. Make sure that the hopper hangs
in centre.

In conclusion readjust the correct gap sizes as follows:

3.3 Adjusting gap sizes

Adjust the gap size very cautiously since the fork can be moved from the neutral position
very easily due to the long lever travel.

3.4 Dismantling the drive of the radial sliding stripper

As a rule it is not necessary to exchange the drive of the radial sliding stripper, since it is
wearless.

If an exchange should be necessary contrary to expectation, proceed as follows:

(1) Loosen the pneumatics connections; mind the correct assignment of the hoses.
(2) Remove the retaining ring (1) from the shovel pin.
(3) Opening the shovel completely to detach the joint head from the pin.
(4) Loosen the hexagon socket screws (2 pcs) on the supporting plate.
(5) Lift the drive of the radial sliding stripper from the supporting plate.
