Warning Notes - Kongskilde KDC 4000 Plus Manuel

GB
This operators manual applies to the Kongskilde Dual
Cleaner type KDC.
Description:
Kongskilde Dual Cleaner is a combined screen- and
aspiration cleaner, designed for separation of grain and
impurities. The cleaner is primarily designed to be used
for pre cleaning of wheat, barley, rye, oats, canola,
maize, peas, soybeans and sunflower. Furthermore,
the cleaner can be used for sorting of malting barley
and seed.
The rotating screens are driven by an electrical gear
motor, and the cleaned crop can be conveyed by the
aspirator 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, in easy floating crop the capacity is up to
40 tonnes per hour (KDC4000) / 80 tonnes per hour
(KDC8000), depending on the requirements towards
purity of the crop.
The cleaner should be fed continuously.

Warning notes:

Take care that all guards are in correct position and
fixed during operation.
Never operate the cleaner without the side doors
covering the drum is closed - there is great risk of in-
jury if a hand grabs the rotating drum! The cleaner is
equipped with magnetic switches on both side doors,
which switch off all motors if the side doors are opened
during operation.
Always stop the cleaner when changing the screen as
well for repair and maintenance, and make sure that
it cannot be started by mistake. This is done by lock-
ing the switch on the cleaner's control cabinet, or by
mounting a safety switch connected to the cleaner.
Keep the cleaner around so there is no risk for fall ac-
cidents.
Provide adequate lighting conditions for safe operation
of the cleaner.
When changing the screen, only turn the screen drum
manually, never attempt to turn the drum by use of the
gear motor.
Wear gloves when replacing the screens - there can
be sharp edges on the screens. As well, use gloves if
samples are taken through the opening in the cleaners
2
gable, as there could be sharp edges of the hole.
Be careful when closing the side doors - there is risk of
squeezing between door and side panels.
Also beware of head injuries when the doors are
closed, there may be sharp edges.
Never insert your hand into the outlet of the auger,
located at the bottom of the cleaner, the auger can
cause severe injury.
The outlet must never be left open when the cleaner is
in operation. Connect the outlet to a container or a min.
850 mm long OK200 tubing to prevent access to rotat-
ing parts.
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, 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 cleaner 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 potentially dangerous /rotating parts.
Never insert your hand into the aspirator blower´s in-
take or outlet while the blower is in operation.
Beware of eye damage - wear goggles in the proximity
of the blowers outlet.
All electrical installations must be carried out in accord-
ance with current regulations.
If abnormal vibrations or noise is detected, the cleaner
should be stopped immediately and the cause exam-
ined. If in doubt, call expert assistance for any repair
and maintenance.
Make sure the cleaner is installed on a stable, horizon-
tal and solid surface to prevent collapse and tipping
over.
If the cleaner is to be moved, it must either be lifted
in the four lifting points in the corners of the cleaner
(marked with chain symbol) or a forklift must be used. It
should always lift at the specified points under the rails
on the cleaner's beams. The forks should be so long
that they lift on both sides of cleaner. If the cleaner is
dropped, there is a great danger of personal injury!
Wear ear protection if working at the cleaner for extend-
ed periods of time, as there is a risk of hearing damage.
