1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Type

DCC/DVC

1.2 Description

Continuous screw feeder/Volumetric screw feeder

1.3 Use

Particularly suitable for gravimetric or volumetric batch feeding of dry, flowable powders, sands,
atomized and granular products which have good degree of flowability. Also suitable for conveying
chemicals and food products.

The difference between the two types of batch feeders consists of the possibility of gravimetric and
volumetric batch feeding using the DCC, since it is paired with scales, while the DVC can meter the
product only volumetrically.

1.4 Contraindications

The continuous microbatch feeders are designed and constructed for use in batching plants in com-
pliance with the quality standards required by the market.

Hazardous materials are those that are:


• Explosive
• Toxic
• Inflammable
• Harmful and/or similar

1.5 Operating temperatures

External temperatures -10°C to +50°C


It is advisable to install the batch feeder in a closed place devoid of ventilation.

14. Cleaning

Before carrying out any operation on the machine, make sure it is in safety condition!

While removing the dust present on the machine take care to avoid spreading it in the sur-
rounding atmosphere.

- Depending on the type of plant, the working of the batch feeder can be controlled from a central
control panel or a local control panel. If the batch feeder is placed under the silo or hopper, it is
advisable to empty it at the end of the day's work.
- The batch feeder must not be left to stand for too long without dismantling and then cleaning it.
- With regard to safe operation for the workers and the machine, the user must select suitable clean-
ing products depending on the type of plant and the product, taking care to avoid using toxic and
inflammable products.
- If the batch feeder operates with food products, it is compulsory to use non toxic detergents suit-
able for the type of application.
- The cleaning frequency depends on the type of product handled and the type of plant.
- In case of harmful or toxic products, the cleaning wastes must be conveyed into appropriate closed
tanks and disposed off according to the indications in the product safety data sheet.
- Do not aim the water jets directly on the electrical components.
- This operation must be repeated if the material handled changes.

15. Noise

The noise level depends on various factors such as dimensions, kind of material.
The noise emitted by the batch feeder is howeverwithin 80 dB (A), the value measured at a distance
of 1 m, in the most unfavourable position.

16. Scrapping the machine

- Recover the gear oil and send it to collection centres.


- Recover plastic parts (such as sealing rings, cover, etc.) and send these to collection centres.
- Send the remaining parts all made of steel to scrap yards.

At the end of the machine's life, drain the gear oil and send it to special collection centres; remove
the plastic parts (sealing rings) and send these to special collection centres; send the remaining
parts to scrap yards.
In case of demolition, separate the materials according to quality.

Minor problems can be solved without consulting a specialist. A list of the most common problems
with the possible causes and remedies is given below.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

• Check to make sure the switch setting is cor-


rect; set the correct activation threshold, if
necessary.
• Check the electric motor connections, and reset
if necessary.
• Check the state of the electric motor using the
instruments meant for the purpose and replace
it, if necessary. To carry out the operations
described above, follow the safety regulations

• Remove the material that caused the block,
after having created the appropriate safeties:
the machine must be certainly disconnected
from the power supply.
• Locate the material that caused the block, re-
move it, restore the machine to the operating
position and restart it.
• Check to see if power supply is present.

• Check to see if there is a block or an object

18. Residual Risks


Although certain risks have been eliminated at the origin in the batch feeder design and construction
phase, certain ineliminabile residual risks still persist for which warning signs and instructions are
required for the operators and special measures have to be adopted in the use of the machine.

18.1 Mechanical hazards

Stability
Handling and lifting of the bacth feeder must be done according to the indications given in the Manual
(Chap.2 Section “TRANSPORT-WEIGHTS-LIFTING).

Risks due to surfaces, sharp edges and corners


Particularly in the maintenance steps, it is necessary to use personal protection equipment (cut-proof
gloves, protective clothing, safety footwear), to avoid injury due to sharp and cutting surfaces and
edges of certain components. (See Manual Chap.2 Section “WARNINGS” and “MAINTENANCE”)..

Prevention of risks due to moving parts.


In the correct installation of the batch feeder, all accesses to moving parts are closed: in this regard,
refer to the Manual (RV Manual, Chap.2 Sect. "WARNINGS" and "INSTALLATION").
The transmission unit is protected by a guard which must not be removed before the machine is set
in safety condition.
In the maintenance steps or in case of actions which may make the moving parts accessible, refer
to the procedures described in the Manual (Chap.2 Sect. ”MAINTENANCE”).

18.2 Risks due to Electricity

Make the motor connections according to the indications given in the Manual (Chap.2 Sect. ”ELEC-
TRICAL CONNECTIONS”).
The batch feeder is supplied with an electric motor without power cables for connection to the
mains.
During machine commissioning operations, the operator must take care to connect the cables cor-
rectly, carrying out the operations in complete safety as envisaged by the standards (CEI EN 60204-1)
regarding the use of electricity. It is important to ensure that the batch feeder body is connected to
the plant’s earth circuit to avoid risk of electrostatic discharges. The earthing connection must be
made by the installer.

2 - Operation and maintenance

18.3 Risks due to high temperatures

During the course of normal operations or maintenance or cleaning, the operator can come in contact
with parts having temperature exceeding 60°C, with the machine stopped.
The temperature level is, however, greatly conditioned by the batch feeder application conditions
(power absorbed by the motor, material conveyed, work cycle).

It is therefore the installer’s responsibility to place warning notices which (if the hazard exists) indi-
cate the hazard due to the presence of very hot surfaces and the obligation for the operator to use
personal protection devices, such as safety gloves.

18.4 Noise, Vibrations.

As indicated in the Manual, the User must carry out measurements with the batch feeder operating
with material.
The user and employer must respect the legal standards as regards protection from daily personal
exposure of operators to noise and, if necessary, prescribe the use of personal protection devices
(ear muffs, etc.) depending on the total noise level present in the individual work areas and the daily
personal exposure level for the workers.
The valve must also be stopped in case of abnormal noises or vibrations (Chap.2 Sect. “WARN-
INGS”).

18.5 Emissions of hazardous matter/substances

While carrying out operations involved in routine or extraordinary maintenance, cleaning or batch
feeder removal, the operator must use suitable personal protection equipment, especially, masks to
protect the respiratory tract belonging to a class suitable for the type of dust filtered, as well as gloves
or clothing.
For more details, refer to the relevant sections of the Operation Manual (Chap.2 Sect. ”WARNINGS”
and “MAINTENANCE”)

It is the installer’s responsibility to provide the necessary warning notices indicating that it is compulsory
for the operators to use the P.P.E. necessary and the potential presence of harmful substances.
