5 Installation
5.1 Transport and positioning
Mind your safety! Wear safety shoes and working gloves.
• Leave the machine on the pallet for transport to its location.
• Avoid shakes.
• Use a lifting device for transport and for moving it into position.
• Handle the machine only by its frame.
• Take care for enough working space around the machine.
• Check the stability and fix the machine with 4 bolts (M10 x 100mm) in case of an uneven floor.
• Push the upper pressing shoe down and remove the rope whitch keeps the shoes together. After
that the upper pressing shoe will rise automatically.
5.2 Connections
When making the connections to the machine, take utmost care to ensure that no dirt or other
materials enter the lines, since this may cause the machine to malfunction.
5.2.1 Steam
Mind your safety! Wear working gloves!
Connection: ½" BSP
Maximum steam pressure: 9 bar.
Recommended working pressure: 6 bar
A : Steam supply X : Steam trap
B : Steam return Y : Blow off cock
W : Shut off valve Z : Non-return valve
Instructions to connect the steam lines:
• Connect the steam lines according to illustration 1.
• Avoid condensation to enter the machine:
Connect the branches of the supply and return Figure 1: Connecting steamlines
lines in such way that they run at least 300mm upward first.
• Flush the connected steam lines with steam from the steam supply.
• Install a steam trap and non-return valve as close as possible to the connection of the machine
(mark the entry and exit).
• Install a shut off valve in both supply and return lines in order to be able to shut off the machine
from the steam lines, for instance for repair activities.
• To get dry steam the connection of a steam trap with non-return valve on the lowest point of the
supply to the drainage (dotted line fig. 1) is recommended. Mark the marking 'entry' and 'exit'.
• Connect the machine to the steam lines.
5.2.2 Steamline systems
Open system
Mount a steamtrap (D) at the end of the stream supply line (B)
and at the end of each connected machine. The condensate will
be led to the watertank (E) through the condense return line (C).
The condensate in the watertank will be pumped in the boiler (A)
through pump (F).
Disadvantage of the open system is the loss of energy and an
increasing fault sensibility.
