Belt Tension; Troubleshooting - IMER MIX120 PLUS Manual De Uso, Mantenimiento Y Recambios

• the belt tension.
• the condition of the poly-V drive belt and pulleys.
Check weekly that the plug contacts on the electrical cabinet are clean,
dry and rust free.
- Periodically check the condition of the power cable jackets
exiting the cabinet.
- Periodically check, by raising the guard (ref.10, fi g.1) 10-15
cm, that the machine stops as soon as the tank guard is opened.
14.1 Cleaning
Before a long work pause or at the end of the shift, the mixer tank must
be thoroughly cleaned by abundant washing. If you use a high-pressure
hose to clean the machine, do not aim the water jet directly at the plug/
socket connection or power switch.
- When manually cleaning the tank, make sure not to run the
machine.
- Do not dump the waste water on the site.
- If the guards are removed for cleaning, they must be reinstal-
led on completion.
Do not strike the tank with hammers, shovels, etc. Dents reduce the
effectiveness of mixing and also make the tank harder to clean.

14.2 Belt tension

1. Switch off the motor and disconnect the power plug.
2. Remove the belt guard (ref.2, fi g.7) by undoing the bolts securing it
(ref.1, fi g.7).
3. Loosen the 4 screws (ref.3, fi g.7) securing electric motor mount and
pull the belt (ref.5, fi g.7) with the screw (ref.4, fi g.7) if the tension is cor-
rect, applying a force of around F=1.5 kg at the centre of the belt's free
section should displace it by around f=5 mm (fi g.8).
- Do not overtension the belt, as this reduces its life and that
of the reducer and motor bearings.
6. Once the belt is correctly tensioned, tighten down the 4 bolts (ref.3,
fi g.7).
7. Reinstall the belt guard (ref.2, fi g.7) with its bolts.
14.3 Replacing the belts
1. Switch off the motor and disconnect the power plug.
2. Remove the belt guard (ref.2, fi g.7) by undoing the bolts securing it
(ref.1, fi g.7).
3. Slacken off the 4 bolts (ref.3, fi g.7) securing the motor mount and
slacken off the belts (ref.5, fi g.7) with the screw (ref.4, fi g.7) until they
can be slipped off the motor and drive reducer pulleys.
4. Fit the new belts, fi rst onto the reducer pulley and then onto the motor
pulley.
5. Tension the belts (ref.5, fi g.7) with the screw (ref.4, fi g.7): if the ten-
sion is correct, applying a force of around F=0.9 kg at the centre of the
belt's free section should displace it by around f=10 mm (fi g.8).
6. Once the belt is correctly tensioned, tighten down the 4 bolts (ref.3,
fi g.7).
7. Reinstall the belt guard (ref.2, fi g.7) with its bolts.
Check the belt tension again after the fi rst 4 hours of operation with the
new belts, and repeat the check every 18-20 hours.
14.4 Removing the outlet guard
1. Undo the bolts (ref.20, fi g.1) and remove the guard (ref.24, fi g.1).
2. To refi t the guard (ref.24, fi g.1) align its holes with the mount holes
and reinstall the bolts (ref.20, fi g.1).
14.5 Repairs
Repairs must be done exclusively by specialised personnel.
Use exclusively original IMER spare parts; modifi cations to parts are
strictly prohibited.
- Never start up the mixing machine during repairs.
- If any guards are removed for repairs, ensure they are cor-
rectly refi tted at the end of work.
15. RESIDUAL RISKS AND SAFETY NOTICES
Although the machine is constructed in line with established legislation,
certain residual risks cannot be eliminated and require the use of indivi-
