B&C Technologies SI Series Industrial - Manual (Page 19)

Replace all panels that are removed to perform service and maintenance pro-
cedures. Do not operate the machine with missing guards or with broken or
missing parts. Do not bypass any safety devices.
5.2.4 Machine Location
1. Foundation. The concrete floor must be of sufficient strength and thickness to handle the
floor loads generated by the machine at high extract speeds.
2. Service/ Maintenance Space. Provide sufficient space to allow comfortable performance of
service procedures and routine maintenance. This is especially important in connection with
machines equipped with AC inverter drives. Consult installation instructions for specific
details.
5.2.5 Input and Output Services
1. Water pressure. Best performance will be realized if water is provided at a pressure of 30-85
psi (2.0-5.7 bar). Although the machine will function properly at lower pressure, increased
fill time will occur. Water pressure higher than 120 psi (8.0 bar) may result in damage to
machine plumbing. components failure (s) and personal injuries.
2. Air Pressure. Best performance will be realized if air is provided at a pressure of 80-100psi
(5.4-6.7 bar). SI series machines will experience door seal and drain failure if compressed
air service is interrupted. Regulators for the door seal and optional tilting should be set to a
maximum of 15 PSI (1 bar) and 60 PSI (4 bar) respectively.
3. Optional Steam heating pressure. Best performance will be realized if steam pressure is
provided at a pressure of 30-80 psi (2.0-5.4 bar). Steam pressure higher than 125 psi (8.5 bar)
may result in damage to steam components and may cause personal injuries. For machines
equipped with optional steam heat, install piping in accordance with approved commercial
steam practices. Failure to install a steam filter may void the warranty.
4. Drainage System. Provide drain lines or troughs large enough to accommodate the total
quantity of water that could be dumped if all machines on the site drained at the same time
from the highest attainable level. If drain troughs are used, they should be covered to support
light foot traffic
5. Power. For personal safety and for proper operation, the machine must be grounded in accor-
dance with state and local codes. The ground connection must be to a proven earth ground,
not to conduits or water pipes. An easy-access disconnect switch should be provided.
Ensure that a ground wire from a proven earth ground is connected to the ground lug in the elec-
trical junction box on this machine. Without proper grounding personal injury from electrical
shock could occur and machine malfunctions may be evident. Computer-controlled machines
must have a proper ground to prevent computer malfunctions.
