Preface:
This users manual has been prepared in accord-
ance with EU-directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery
Directive).
Marking:
See enclosed Declaration of Conformity.
Description:
KDC 4000 is a combined screen- and aspiration
cleaner, designed for separation of grain and
impurities. The rotating screens are driven by an
electrical gear motor, and the cleaned crop can
be conveyed via the bottom outlet to a transport
system. The impurities are blown away together
with the aspirator air, and should be separated
through a cyclone and collected.
The cleaner can be equipped with screens
containing different hole sizes, depending on the
nature of the crop.
Capacity varies depending on the crop to be pro-
cessed, up to 40 tonnes per hour in easy floating
crop, depending on the requirements towards purity
of the crop.
The cleaner is primarily designed to be used for
pre cleaning of grain, corn, canola, sun flower
and beans from larger and smaller impurities.
Furthermore, the cleaner can be used for grading of
malting barley.
The cleaner should be feed continuously.
Typical application:
The combi cleaner has been designed for the pre-
cleaning of wheat, barley, rye, oats, rapeseed,
maize, peas, soybeans and sunflower for larger and
minor impurities.
Warning notes:
•
Take care that all guards are in correct position
and fixed during operation.
•
Always stop the combi cleaner prior to repair
and maintenance and avoid unintentional start of
the combi cleaner. Lock e.g. the on/off switch on
the built in control box or install a safety switch
mounted in the electrical installations to avoid
unintentional start of the cleaner.
•
Only turn the screen drum manually when re-
2
placing the screens. Never turn the screen drum
by switching on the gear motor, when replacing
the screens.
•
Use always gloves when replacing screens. The
screens may have sharp edges.
•
Never put the hand in the outlet of the trough
auger.
•
Never leave the outlet open, while the cleaner is
in operation. Connect the outlet to a container or
to a min. 800 mm long OK160 pipe, to prevent
access to the rotating parts. Never use quick
couplings, use only the provided bolt couplings.
•
Never put your hand into the inlet or outlet open-
ing of the blower during operation.
•
All electrical installations must be effected ac-
cording to the current legislation.
•
In case of abnormal vibrations or noise, stop the
cleaner immediately and investigate. If in doubt,
call in expert assistance for repair and mainte-
nance.
•
Mount the cleaner on a solid and plane base, to
avoid the cleaner tipping over.
•
If the cleaner is to be moved, use the four lift-
ing points in the corners (marked with the chain
symbol) or use a forklift or the like grabbing in
the rails under the base frame of the cleaner
at the indicated points. The forks must be long
enough to lift in both sides of the cleaner.
Warning signs:
Avoid accidents by always following the safety
instructions given in the manual and on the warning
signs placed on the cleaner.
Safety signs without text are used on the machine.
The signs are explained below.
Read carefully the manual
before using the cleaner, and
