Section 1: Installation Guides

Installation Requirements

  1. To ensure stable operation of the equipment, the installation site must have a concrete foundation with sufficient depth, level and even ground, and a load-bearing capacity not less than 1000 kg/m², which meets or exceeds the installation requirements.
  2. The workshop where the machine is installed must be equipped with a power supply consistent with the equipment requirements. In addition, a PE grounding interface must be provided, and the supply voltage must comply with the voltage specified in the contract.
  3. The mixer has been fully debugged and tested before leaving the factory. For transportation convenience, it is disassembled into three parts. Therefore, proper installation at the site is required to ensure the accuracy of the hopper’s home position. It is generally recommended that installation be carried out under the guidance of professional personnel.

Installation Procedures

Step 1: When installing the main unit, determine the installation position, safely hoist the main unit, align it with the base mounting holes, and lower it slowly and vertically.

Step 2: After fix the base, install and tighten all fixing bolts. Then, install the top support column (the top column should be welded securely to the building structure by the user during installation to ensure vertical stability of the equipment).

Step 3: When installing the connecting arm, align the arm with the corresponding connection holes, insert it, install the pressure plate, and tighten the pressure plate bolts.

Step 4: Before connecting the power, ensure that the power supply matches the equipment requirements. Then wait for the trial run.

Step 5: Before the trial run, read User Manual carefully to familiarize the mechanical structure and check if the electrical system is in good condition.

Step 6: Once confirmed, switch on the power and turn the lockable switch on the control cabinet. When the system home page appears on the screen, manually enter the operation interface.

Section 2: Operation Procedures

Step 1: Push the mobile IBC bin toward the lifting column. Align the bin so the lifting forks slide directly into the hollow side brackets.

Step 7: Once the bin is at the correct height, start the blending cycle. The IBC bin will rotate end-over-end. This tumbling action creates diffusion mixing for a uniform blend.

  2. Hydraulic oil shall be L-HM46 (L-HM32 in cold areas) with quantity about 20 L. Please note that oil filling shall be through an 80 mesh filter to prevent foreign materials, like fiber, sand, and iron powder in the oil.
  3. The main shaft bearing is on the front end of the rotating/blending reducer and shall be lubricated once a month with 150 grams of model #3 lithium grease (GB7432). Before filling, take off the double-half cover and bearing cover and fill grease into the bearing gaps with a grease gun.
