Machine-Side Hopper Loaders

4.5. Electrical connection

MThe regulations of the local electrical codes must be observed.

Before connection to the electricity supply, ensure that the supply voltage and the power frequency are in accordance with the data on the nameplate of the machine.

The electrical connection may only be carried out by the manufacturer’s service staff or trained personnel authorized by the manufacturer.

It is not permitted for other persons to undertake the electrical connection.

The main switch must be freely accessible.

Ground the equipment against electrostatic charging.

The equipment is connected to main power supply by a standard plug.

Separate fuse protection of the wall socket is required (max. 16 A).

4.6. Compressed air connection

The hopper loader requires a clean, dry, 72-87 psi compressed air supply. A filter, regulator, and shut-off valve are recommended components of your in-plant air supply.

You may need to install an accumulator in your air supply system to enhance blowback effectiveness if your system cannot consistently meet these requirements. Make sure you use full-sized 3/8” diameter pipe or tubing when making the connection.
