Prior to the initial operation of the machine, the operating instructions have
to be studied carefully. Trained and instructed staff only may be employed on
the machine.
The device possesses a voltage range which can pose an electrical hazard to humans and animals. It should only be opened and/or disassembled by authorised persons.
The operating staff is responsible for the maintenance and servicing. The
machine has to be checked for noticeable damage in regular intervals (prior to
every startup, if possible).
No modifications, such as changes or extensions, may be carried out on the
machine.
Use original spare parts only as otherwise the perfect function of the machine
is not ensured. If you do not use original spare parts, risks to persons and
property cannot be ruled out.
The machine can only be operated on the mains power, if all rotating sections
have been secured by closing and safeguarding the corresponding components.
The machine must set up so as to rule out rolling or tipping over.
The machine may be serviced only by trained specialist staff.
The machine may be operated in a technically perfect condition only for the
intended purpose adhering to the instructions in the operating instructions.
Wear work gloves and protective work shoes during assembly and disassembly
work.
In case of longer breaks/interruptions and absence of the operating staff,
clean the machine after disconnecting from the mains and locking against
switching back on.
Also disconnect the machine from the mains and lock against switching back on
if machine components, such as the mixing pipe or safety guards, are opened
for cleaning.
During cleaning of the machine, protect the electric connections against
direct contact with water.
Operate the machine through a residual current circuit breaker with earth
monitor only.
For cleaning work, always disconnect the machine from the mains.
Do not reach into the material outlet when the machine is running.
The machine has not been fitted with a suspension device for crane transport!
Observe the general safety and accident prevention regulations for the
building trade.
Functions
The flow mixer comprises a storage tank which is separate from the mixing
pipe. During operation, the dry material is fed into the mixing pipe by means
of the transport/dosing shaft. In the mixing pipe, the mortar is mixed after
water has been added.
Setup / initial operation
Attention:
The machine must be disconnected from the mains supply before all cleaning and
maintenance work as well as assembly and disassembly of, e.g., the mixing
tube, mixing shaft, metering shaft, safety grille, electrical units!
Assembling the mixing tube: Tightly fasten the pipe to the funnel housing
using the two clamping levers on the water inlet. Make sure that both sealing
surfaces are free of incrustations and clean.
Inserting the mixing shaft: Insert the shaft through the mixing tube and
insert it into the transport/metering shaft. Here, too, remove any soiling
first. Do not grease the end of the mixing shaft!
Fixing the mixing shaft: The cover fastened to the mixing shaft is tightly
fastened to the mixing tube by means of the two front clamping levers. Ensure
a clean sealings surface here, too.
Caution:
The safety screw in the middle of the cover must remain in place even during
cleaning work! Otherwise, the operating safety of the mixing shaft is
insufficient during assembly and disassembly!
Connect the water supply to the mixing pipe
Install and secure the protective grid with the bag opener rail
Water connection
Use a 3/4″ water hose as the supply line. A water back pressure of at least
3.5 bar is recommended.
Note:
Bleed the water supply line before connecting!
Tip:
Before the material container is filled, test for correct function of the
mixer and bleed the water supply line on the unit. Shut-off the drain tap at
the bottom on the pipeline. Remove the water supply line from the mixing tube
and point into a bucket. Close the metering valve on the water supply line of
the unit and open it again approx. 10 turns. Press the green On switch. The
shafts begin to rotate and water escapes from the water supply line. Press the
red Off button: The device stops, the solenoid valve shuts off the flow of
water. Reconnect the water supply line to the mixing pipe.
Fill the material hopper with material.
Place the catchment container below the mixing tube outlet.
Switch the mixer back on at the green On switch and regulate the viscosity of
the escaping material at the metering valve by closing the valve.
There will be a delay before material with the set viscosity exits the material outlet due to the length of the mixing tube.
Important:
For a constant mixing result, sufficient material must always be filled into
the material hopper – the metering shaft must not be visible!
- Once the desired viscosity has been set, switch off the unit using the red Off switch.
Please note:
Mix the resulting material with a hand mixer and possibly thicken it by adding
dry material, it can be used for manual processing.
Now place a catchment container or the funnel of a feed pump under the outlet.
Avoid operating breaks of more than 30 minutes! Never expose the mixer to direct sunlight during operation.
Power supply
The DMS 25 PRO flow mixer must be connected to an approved site power
distributor with residual current circuit breaker or to a house mains
connection with a residual current circuit breaker. A 16 A fuse is required.
When using the mixer with several units (e.g., plaster pump and compressor),
it is advisable to connect the units to different electrical circuits Use a
connecting cable of 3 x 2.5 mm².
In order to prevent voltage loss and the risk of damage as a result, using a
connecting cable no longer than 50 m is recommended. Cable drums must always
be unreeled completely, then distribute the cables and do not lay them on top
of each other.
Safety instructions
No more than one sack of material must be placed on the machine`s safety
guard.
Only remove the safety guard and mixing pipe after disconnecting the machine
from the mains.
Run all hoses and cables so as to rule out stumbling hazards to the extent
possible.
Place the machine on a flat and firm surface.
The machine does not have a suspension device for crane transport!
Cleaning the flow mixer
Empty the machine`s storage tank when you finish work.
Use the red Off button to switch the machine off and isolate it from the
mains.
Disconnect the water connection.
Remove and clean the mixing pipe and the mixing shaft.
Clean the storage tank and the metering unit (dry if possible).
Assemble the machine again.
Keep the shaft connections clean, dry and free from grease.
