Kongskilde CPU Component Pickup Unit Betriebsanleitung Seite 5

Mounting:
The Component Pickup Unit system must be installed
on a stable, flat concrete surface. The column must be
attached to the floor with expansion bolts, according
to the regulations from the bolt supplier. The enclosed
footplate must be mounted at the bottom of the column
as shown, to protect the column from damage caused
by truck collision during replacement of container, oc-
tabine or vacuum box.
It may also be necessary to mark with yellow / black
marking on the floor, or make other shielding. See sec-
tion "Warning notes".
Footplate
The piping and boost air / suction air hoses must be
securely supported to prevent breakage and leaks. The
suction hose should be controlled with a min. 300 mm
bending radius to prevent the components from block-
ing the hose.
Both the boost air- and conveying hose must be kept
as short as possible to reduce energy consumption, the
risk of static electricity, and component damage.
Kongskilde offers matching hoses and pipes, see sec-
tion "Accessories".
All pipelines and hoses must be installed before con-
necting electricity to avoid personal injury.
The CPU's control is delivered mounted in the upper
half of the CPU column upon delivery. If the control is
desired to be located in the lower half of the column,
the control can be hooked off the mounting tabs and
moved. To access the control, the CPU backplates
must be removed. The control is supplied with the re-
quired extra cable length.
Kongskilde recommends using stainless steel pipes for
component transport, as this will facilitate cleaning and
minimize contamination to the components. In addition,
it may be necessary to ground the installation and pos-
sibly install anti-static equipment to avoid static electric-
ity that can lead to component clumping and fouling.
See section "Electrical Installation".
External communication with e.g. Siemens PLC
If integration is made between the CPU control and
an external PLC control, the warranty on the control is
void.
Distance between bends
For maximum capacity, there should be a minimum
distance of 2 meters between changes in flow direction,
i.e. between each bend.
Insertion of bends
Never insert 2 bends straight after another, if they can
be replaced by one, as this can result in damage to
components and loss of capacity.

Assemblies and centring
All pipe joints must be tight and without any offset, as
these may damage the components!
When assembling pipes, bends and other material in-
tended for component transport, it is important to centre
the pipes as precisely as possible next to each other.
One cannot always expect the pipe to be centred by the
clamp alone. The quick clamp / bolt clamp is designed
so that it clamps the OK flanges very hard to ensure
a tight assembly. This causes the friction between the
pipes to become so high that the clamp cannot centre
the pipes.
To check if the pipes are centred, one can check that
the distance between the clamp and the pipe is equal
on both sides of the clamp.
If you want a very tight joint, you can wrap the joint with
sealing tape before the clamp is applied.
Kongskilde recommends the use of the KCP 100R
pipe system, which ensures proper centering and
sealing of piping, which eventually reduces the risk
of component damage.
The 2 meter pipe is delivered with a loose flange on
the outlet side (not welded on), and can therefore be
used when adjusting the length, like a fixed telescopic
pipe. The flange must be TIG welded, with concentricity
requirements as shown at the back in the manual, and
subsequently pickled.
The Component Pickup Unit system must be installed
indoors, at ambient temperature between 0° and 50° C.
