11. Maintenance
11.1 The checks and inspections must be performed by specialist personnel.
11.2 During the operations of maintenance, repair and cleaning, always use personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves
sufficiently resistant to mechanical hazards) to reduce the risk of injury in the event of contact with the sharp
edges of the metal sheets or with the finned pack.
11.3 In no event perform any operation on the machine without first having disconnected the power supply. Place the
main switch is in position "0 OFF". Wait until all the fans have stopped turning.
1.14 It is recommended to verify, at least once every six months, that the electrical connection, the earthing of
components subject to greater wear (motors, switches) are operating correctly.
1.15 It is advisable to check at least once every six months that all the electrical and mechanical parts are in efficient
operating condition.
11.6 If a fan is off for a long period, it should be switched on for at least two hours every month to remove any trace
of moisture inside the motor.
11.7 Check the cleanliness of the finned pack at least once a month.
11.8 Clean the surfaces of the finned pack and of the fans at least once every six months.
11.9 Cleaning of the finned pack
11.9.1 Place the main switch in the "OFF" position and wait until all the fans have stopped rotating.
Remove the conveyor - fan group by unscrewing the retaining screws.
11.9.2 Use compressed air at a maximum pressure of 10 bar and at a minimum distance of 150 mm,
directed perpendicularly against the finned pack to avoid bending or damage to the fins.
11.9.3 Aspirate possibly from the air inlet side.
11.9.4 Use a jet of water at a max pressure of 50 bar for damp dirt or grease at a minimum distance of
150 mm, directed perpendicularly against the finned pack, avoiding bends or damage to the fins and
pipes. If appropriate add a neutral detergent. Rinse and then dry with compressed air as indicated
in point 11.9.2. Make sure that the electrical components are not affected by the jet of water.
If necessary, provide adequate coverage.
11.9.5 After having cleaned the finned pack, perform a visual inspection to identify any dirt or the presence of
fins that are damaged (repeat the cleaning operation if necessary).
11.10
Only use original spare parts. Do not wait until the component is completely inoperative.
Preventive replacements can significantly improve the performance and extend the life
span of the model.
