1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Type
DCC/DVC
1.2 Description
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.

The plant installer/installation technician is responsible for providing and installing all the protection
devices to avoid damage to objects or persons in case of breakage and consequent falling of pieces
from the machine (for eg. motor breakage).
- There is a potential hazard if the inlet and outlet spouts of the machine are not connected, so warn-
ing notices must be applied on the machine and the area must be cordoned off, if necessary using
suitable systems (user’s responsibility).
5. DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
With reference to EC Machinery Directive 98/37, the manufacturer issues a “Declaration of Incorpora-
tion” pursuant to art 4.2 para 1 and Annex II.B, in this regard:
“This equipment must not be put to use before the plant in which it has been incorporated has
been declared as conformat to the provisions of the Directives in force.”
All improper use of the batch feeder without following the indications given in this Manual will free
TOREX® of all related responsibility concerning poor working of the batch feeder.
6. TRANSPORT

Wiring diagram
THREE-PHASE MOTORS
The windings of the standard motors can be connected in two ways:
STAR CONNECTION
The star connection is obtained by connecting together terminals W2, U2, V2 and powering terminals
U1, V1, W1.
DELTA CONNECTION
The delta connection is obtained by connecting the end of one phase to the beginning of the next
phase.
The compressed air which must enable the various utilities must have certain features:
• Clean: free of impurities
• Dehumidified: it is, however, advisable to provide for a condensate separator;
• Oil-free: the presence of oily substances in the air could cause premature and irreversibile clog-
ging.
Use filters which always keep the air clean and oil-free.
When the batch feeder is provided with a pneumatic slide valve it is also provided with the solenoid
valve for controlling the opening/closure of the slide valve.
The unit consists of a solenoid valve, coil and Ø6 RILSAN tube.
Once the configuration described in the ELECTRIC AND PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS DIAGRAMS
is obtained, the solenoid valve present can be connected to the external pneumatic line.
Supply the solenoid valve and Ø8 RILSAN tube and pressure regulator at a maximum value of 8
bar.
Before carrying out any operation on the machine, make sure it is in safety condition.
Before starting up the machine, make sure the installation and connections to the external power
supplies have been carried out completely and correctly according to the methods described below
in brief:
WHEN SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME, PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO
EVERYTHING THAT COULD INDICATE AN ANOMALY (HIGH NOISE LEVEL – VIBRATIONS).
6. Checkto see if foreign substances have entered the batch feeder. If this is the case, empty the
batch feeder body and clean it thoroughly.
The procedure described above must be repeated every time the plant is restarted after a shutdown
period exceeding one week.
Before carrying out any operation on the machine, make sure it is in safety condition!
13. MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any operation on the machine, make sure it is in safety condition!
IT IS HAZARDOUS TO WORK WITH THE LIMBS INSIDE THE BATCH FEEDER, THEREFORE IT IS
NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY TO THE MAIN SWITCH PROVIDED
WITH SAFETY KEY AGAINST ACCIDENTAL START-UP
THE KEY MUST BE KEPT IN THE CUSTODY OF THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE OPERA-
TION
When parts of the batch feeder at a height are to be reached, use an overhead work platform which
must be such as to avoid danger of slipping, tripping or falling for the operators.

Assemble on the batch feeder by following the procedure for the vertical discharge
• It is advisable to empty the batch feeder at the end of the day's work;
• Check daily for signs of overheating, vibrations and abnormal noise;
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.
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
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).
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.
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.
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”).
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.
