This user manual applies to the Kongskilde RVS
separator model RVS 75.
Preface:
This users manual has been prepared in accordance
with EU-directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive).
Marking:
See enclosed Declaration of Conformity.
Description:
The product is a multiseparator designed to separate
conveying air and paper, carton or plastics. The sepa-
rator is driven by and directly coupled to an electric
geared motor. The rotor in the separator is attached
to the shaft of the geared motor, and connected to a
flanged bearing at the opposite end.
The rotor is supplied with replaceable rubber blades.
Typical application:
Separation of paper, carton and plastic materials.
The temperature of material and airflow should not
exceed 70 ° C, nor should the separator be exposed to
corrosive materials and corosive gases.
Warning notes:
Make sure that all guards are intact and properly se-
cured during operation.
Always disconnect electricity to the separator prior to
repair and maintenance. The safety switch must be
switched off and locked to ensure, that the separator
cannot be started by mistake.
Never put your hand into the separator during motor
operation.
The working area around the separator should be clear
and trip free when carrying out maintenance.
Make sure that there is adequate lighting when working
on the separator.
The separator contains rotating parts, that should be
completely inaccessible by hands, unless the separate
lockable start/stop switch has been blocked, or the
separator is not electrically connected.
The separator must be installed on an even ground to
prevent it from falling down.
The mounting of the separator must be as prescribed, if
6
not, stability is reduced and wear and tear increased.
In case of any person contact with the rotating parts,
there is great risk of personal injury.
To avoid any unintentional contact with rotating parts,
pipes of minimum 800 mm length, with a diameter of
maximum Ø 200 mm must be installed onto the inlet
and outlet connections.
These pipes must be installed with bolt clamps (safety
clamps), where tools are necessary for dismantling.
In case it is not possible to use minimum 800 mm
tubes, it must be insured that there within minimum
800 mm from the separator are used bolt clamps,
where tools are necessary for dismantling.
The reason for this is, that according to EU-directive
2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive), it is not allowed for
any unauthorized personnel to gain access to rotating
parts. In case quick couplings are used, unautorized
personnel could dismantle the tubing, and have access
to rotating parts.
The separator is designed for mounting in an enclosed
pipe system. If this is not the case, suitable measures
shold be taken to prevent contact with the rotor during
operation.
Avoid accidents by always following the safety instruc-
tions given in the user manual and on the safety signs
located on the separator.
The separator can not be used in the petro chemical
industry. The separator can not be used for long con-
tinuous strands of material, as they would eventually
foul the rotor.
The separator must be installed in a closed system.
If it is not, it must only be switched on if both the
inlet and outlet are properly guarded.
Any foreign objects allowed into the system, intention-
ally or unintentionally, may eventually damage the rotor.
Lack of supervision of the separator can result in wear
and/or damage to vital parts, see section "Service and
maintenance".
Due to friction, there will be transferred heat to the
outer casing of the separator during operation.
