Safety The equipment is only designed and may only be used for the dosing of dry additives. Any use that is not in conformity with the instructions is considered improper and as such frees the manufacturer from any liability regarding damage to things and/or persons. Before switching on the unit for the first time, ensure that the mains power voltage applied is between 95 and 250VAC. Ensure that all parts are securely fixed to the extruder, injection molding machine or machine support. Always switch off the Movacolor control cabinet and disconnect the mains power plug from electrical power before performing maintenance. Dangerous voltages are present inside the control cabinet for up to 2 minutes after it has been switched off. Always disconnect the main compressed air connection before performing maintenance. Certification The Movacolor dosing unit is designed and produced in conformity with the following European regulations: 1. standards for machinery (health, safety, environment). 2. EMC (electromagnetic compatibility). 3. 2006/42/EG. Operating environmental conditions 1. The unit must be protected against weather conditions.

Only applicable for MIX PHA, MIX BH and MIX BHA The two air vents of the neckpiece can be left open but the preferred configuration is to connect one of the vents to the suction side of the drying system (see diagram). In that case it is advised to use a valve to minimize airflow either in or out the left open vent. If dust is blown out of vents that are left open to the atmosphere, these vents can be fitted with a dust filter. The water cooled pipe has a water inlet and outlet with a diameter of 10mm. Connect the cooling water tubing to the inlet and outlet and run water of 5 to 25° C through the system. Temperature inside the pipe should not exceed 40° C. Neckpieces should be installed securely and water leveled on the machine feed throat. Connect main material flow, air tubing, dust filters and cooling water tubing if applicable. The dosing unit slides into the flange on the side of the neckpiece and is secured in position by a knurled knob.

In case of a PHA or BHA mixer the neckpiece and motor reducer with blades are separately packed because of the weight. • Mount the neckpiece to the injection molding machine or extruder • Place the motor reducer with mixing blades in the neckpiece of the mixer and tighten the 4 hexagonal bolts and washers with a wrench as shown in the picture. Remove mixing blades For cleaning, the mixer blades can be removed from the mixer housing. To do this, follow the steps below: • Be sure that the Main Power is disconnected! • The mixer can be hot! • Remove Bolt (8) (it can be necessary to use a powerful tap to loosen it) • Remove the plate (3) by loosen the bolts (4) • Pull out the mixing blades • To assemble it again do it in reverse order.

• The mixer needs a 3 phase power connection with a voltage of 400 Vac (other voltages on special request) • The mixer will be delivered with a combined Main switch / thermal motor safety switch and cable between the motor reducer and main switch. • The mains power connection has to be made by the customer. • Connect the earth wire to point where the green/yellow (earth) wire is connected. • The 3 phases must be connected to the connections 1L1, 3L2 and 5L3. • The motor rotation direction must be anti-clockwise. This can be seen at the hexagonal bolt on the end of the mixer axis. • If the axis is turning clockwise after switch ON the mixer, 2 phases must be exchanged.

The mixer is equipped with moving parts which can show wear. It is advised to check the following points each 6 months: • Check the mixer blades for wear. • Check the mixer axle gasket for leakage • Check mixer axle for clearance Spare parts Item Description Order code 1 Mixer blade, welded assembly.
