2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The machine is intended exclusively for cleaning precleaned grain-like products.
Any other use may result in unexpected endangerments and shall be consid-
ered noncompliant use.
Restrictions arising from the ATEX design are determined in the ATEX marking
chapter and are a constituent part of intended use.
► Use the machine only as intended.

► Operate the machine only in accordance with these operating instructions.
2.1.1 Characteristics of the input product
Designation Value Unit

Product moisture 10 … 18 %
Product moisture of corn 35 %
Dust matter of the bulk material, max. 5 %
Kst value of the products, max. 160 bar×m×s-1
Minimum ignition energy of the dusts, min. 30 mJ
Ignition temperature, min. 300 °C
Smoldering temperature, min. 275 °C
2.1.2 ATEX marking (Ex II 2/3D)
The machine contains an internal Zone 21 and corresponds internally to device

category 2D.
If the machine is identified on the nameplate as a 2/3D device, it is approved

for operation in a hazardous area 22.
► Use only devices without ignition sources or only devices with category 2
or 1 on the inside of the machine.
► Refer to the nameplate.
2.2 Technical condition

If the machine is operated in poor technical condition, its safety, function and
availability are compromised.
► Operate the machine only when it is in perfect technical condition.

► Comply with the maintenance schedule.
► Only use original spare parts listed in the spare parts catalog.
► If the operating behavior of the machine changes, check the machine for
faults.
► Eliminate any faults immediately.
► The machine must not be modified or converted without approval from the
manufacturer.

8 Chapter 2 Safety
2.3 Personnel qualification
Unqualified personnel cannot recognize risks and are thus exposed to greater
danger.
► Allow only technically qualified personnel to perform the activities described

in these operating instructions.
► Ensure that personnel comply with the local laws and regulations for safe
and hazard-conscious work.
► Define and communicate work responsibilities. Provide keys and passwords
to assigned staff only.
2.4 Personal protective equipment

The wrong or incomplete protective equipment poses a hazard for personnel.
► Wear cut-protection gloves.

► Wear non-slip safety footwear.
► Wear eye protection.
► Wear protective headgear.
2.5 Safeguard against unexpected start-up

If the machine starts up unexpectedly, individuals working on the machine could
be injured severely.
► Set the safety switch to <0> and lock it.

► Remove the key and keep it with you.
2.6 Protective devices

People are at risk when protective devices are not functioning effectively.
► Before operating the machine, ensure that all protective devices are function-
ing effectively.
2.7 Safety signs

If safety signs are not noticeable, people are at risk.
► Replace safety signs which are not noticeable.

► Do not remove or cover safety signs.
2.8 Safe work environment

2.8.1 Operating company to ensure that the danger area is safe
There is a risk of injury when persons come into contact with moving parts of
the machine.
► The operating company must ensure that the danger area around the ma-
chine is marked on the floor or that the machine is fenced off. When the
door in the fence is open, the machine stops. Ensure that there is enough
space.
► The operating company must ensure that an acoustic and visual warning sig-
nal is triggered every time before the machine starts.

2.8.2 Slipping and tripping hazards
Slippery surfaces and tripping hazards may result in serious accidents.
► Keep aisles, handles, steps, ladders, platforms and guard rails free of
grease, oil and other contamination.
► Do not use the machine as a climbing aid or storage area. Use only the
steps and platforms provided.
► Wear non-slip safety footwear.
2.8.3 Aspiration
Gases and dusts are harmful to health and can result in dangerous situations
during operation of the machine.
► Leave aspiration equipment activated during operation of the machine and

do not remove.
2.9 Fire protection

During operation, an excessively high product temperature or flammable parti-
cles can cause a fire.
► Ensure that personnel know the fire prevention measures.

► Prepare a water connection for extinguishing fires.
► Keep a fire extinguisher near the machine.
► Hang up fire prevention measures where they are clearly visible.

4.3 Operating principle

The product to be cleaned is conducted to preliminary sieves via the inlet. The
large components are sieved on the pre-sieves and exit the machine via a chan-
nel. The product, now cleaned of coarse impurities, is routed to the subsequent
main sieves.
The cleaned product again enters an aspiration channel at the outlet of the ma-
chine where it can be vacuumed intensively. Grade B falls through the main
sieve and is routed to the outlet via the outlet bottom.

4.7.1 Exhaust-air valve
The exhaust-air valve can be used for fine adjustment of the outlet aspiration.

The outlet aspiration can be adjusted via the external butterfly valve.
Turning clockwise increases the air velocity.
Turning counterclockwise reduces the air velocity.

(3) Inlet flap
The product to be cleaned is fed via an oscillating, weight-loaded inlet flap. For
fast residual discharge, the inlet flap has a gap of 8 mm when closed. This gap
can be adjusted on the stop screw on the pivot point of the regulating weight.
4.9 Air regulation

The external butterfly valve regulates the airflow supplied to the outlet aspira-
tion. The filter in the outlet pipe holds back the dirt particles.

► Take note of the dynamic loads in chapter “Technical data” of the operating
instructions that have to be absorbed by the substrate.
► Clarify the reinforcement on site with the structural engineer and adjust this
to the situation.
► The requirements for the substrate must be taken into account in the de-
sign. The requirements have been compiled in the Engineering Document.
6.2 Preparing installation site

► Ensure space requirements, floor openings, bearing surfaces and floor loads
in accordance with separate Engineering Document.
► Block the assembly area against unauthorized access.
► Secure the working environment, e.g. remove any tripping hazards.
