Installing the Dosing Module

1.Remove the screw (M6 x 30 or 60) from the center hole.

2.Place the dosing disc in the dosing unit housing.

3.Screw the dosing disc in place with two (2) M6 x 30 socket screws, ensuring they are tight.

4.Re-install the center M6 x 12 socket screw to prevent pellets from getting stuck in the hole.

5.Install the shear, verifying that the fasteners are tight.

6.Turn the dosing disc to verify smooth rotation. If the disc drags on the shear, the shear may have to be loosened and re-positioned, or replaced.

7.Position the hopper on the dosing module.

8.Tighten the profile clamp.

9.Position the dosing unit on the dosing motor, aligning the guide pins.

10.Close the toggle latches, fastening the dosing module to the motor assembly.

Installing Different Types of Dosing Discs

Dosing discs of the same type, and thickness (except 72 pocket), may be exchanged for each other. If dosing discs with a different compartment number or thickness are installed, the new calibration number needs to be entered into the controller!

1.Enter the (preliminary) calibration value of the newly installed dosing disc

2.Repeat the “calibration” procedure to determine the final calibration value.

See Appendix D: Spare Parts List on page 61 for disc part numbers.
