5.2 Assembly of accessories

5.2.1 Assembly of mounting base (26)(see ﬁ g. R1637 section 5.1)

The mounting base, featuring a sight glass and a magnet grid, is ﬁ tted to avoid magnetic

particles in the raw material from entering the screw of the production machine, or when it

is required to add masterbatch or other additives.

The mounting base is as standard equipped with a manually operated slide valve. A

pneumatic one is also available.

1. Close slide valve and disassemble CD from

frame / processing machine.

2. First assemble intermediate ﬂ ange / slide valve

(24a) on the machine.

3. Then ﬁ t mounting base (26) on intermediate

ﬂ ange / slide valve (24a).

4. Assemble CD on frame / processing machine.

5.2.2 Assembly of pneumatic slide valve

On CD 350-600 it is recommened to ﬁ t a pneumatic slide valve. A manually operated valve

can be difﬁ cult to operate on these unit owing to the amount of material in the hopper.

If CD 25-180 is assembled on frame, then ﬁ rst assemble an intermediate ﬂ ange prior to the

pneumatic valve. On CD 350-600 the valve can be ﬁ tted immediately.

Warning: Do not connect compressed air to the valve before appropiate measures are taken

to hinder unintended access to the slide valve, so eliminating the risk of bodily injury.

The slide valve is factory-labelled against sharp edge mechanism.
