On delivery, immediately check if the machine is complete
and if there are any transportation damages.
2.1. Set-up directions
The machine should be placed on clean and dry ground.
The ground should be even, solid and level. The rear side
of the machine must remain freely accessible to ensure
sufficient circulation of cooling air. The cooling air
tem perature must not exceed 35 °C and must not be
contaminated. Only after all supply and connecting
systems have been connected, the machine may be put
into operation.
2.2. Mains supply
Only trained personnel may connect the machine. Please
pay attention to the nominal voltage and frequency stated
on the machine label. The 1-phase current may differ
+/- 10 % (maximum) from the nominal value. The mains
supply must at least be furnished with 16 A delay-action
fuses (at 1* 230 V AC). The machine is equipped with a
16 A-Ceekon-connector when leaving INDUTHERM. All
3 lines (L1, N, PE) must be connected correctly. The wall
socket must be freely accessible, so that the equipment
can be shut down in emergency by pulling the power
supply.
Putting into operation 2
2.3. Cooling water
Use two hoses with an outer diameter of 6 mm for the
cooling water. The water entry pressure must be at least
2.5 bar and must not be more than 5 bar. The water
drainage must be without pressure. The water entry
temperature must be above 10 °C and must not exceed
20 °C. The concentration of lime in the water must not be
more than 60 mg CaO/l. The cooling water must not be
contaminated.
The cooling water supply must be open as long as it is still
a hot crucible inside the machine.
2.4. Vacuum
The vacuum pump should be connected with the supplied
tube with an outer diameter of 8 mm. Keep the vacuum
tube as short as possible to avoid pressure loss.
2.5. Air pressure supply
Use a hose with an outer diameter of 8 mm for air
pressure. The entry pressure must be 4–6 bar. Keep the
air tube as short as possible to avoid pressure loss.
Avoid during the casting process additional air pressure
load to ensure the appropriate pressure. Otherwise the
casting quality can be negatively influenced.
