Anti-static equipment
Anti-static equipment to eliminate
static electricity from the material
flowing through the aspirator can
be supplied as an extra for KIA 20
and KIA 60.
Static electricity can cause impuri-
ties to "stick" to the material being
cleaned and thus reduces cleaning
capacity. The anti-static equipment
is therefore ideal when the mate-
rial to be cleaned easily becomes
charged with static electricity.
Installation
1. Remove the inspection cover
(B).
2. Remove the holder (C) from the
inlet pipe (KIA 20 only). Access
to the holder can be gained
through the inspection opening.
There is no further use for the
holder when anti-static equip-
ment is used.
3. Using the fitting provided,
mount the anti-static ring (D)
on the inlet pipe. The ring can
be fitted through the inspection
opening, but access to the inlet
pipe becomes easier when the
bottom hopper and distributor
impeller have been removed.
4. To ensure that the flow of mate-
rial through the anti-static ring
is correct, compressed air must
be applied to the ring pipe (E).
The compressed-air hose can
be led through one of the pipes
(F) in the side of the aspirator
and connected to the union (G).
Required pressure: 4-8 bar.
5. The electrical connection must
be in accordance with separate
B
C
instructions enclosed with the
anti-static equipment.
Make sure that the rated vol-
tage of the equipment is the
same as the site supply vol-
tage. Electrical cables must be
led through one of the pipes (F)
in the side of the aspirator.
It is important that the anti-static
ring be earthed.
The ring is supplied complete
with 3 m (10 ft) of cable for
connection to the power unit. A
maximum of 9 m (30 ft) of cable
can be connected to one power
unit, therefore up to three aspi-
rators can be connected to one
power unit, provided they are
placed sufficiently close to each
other.
