8 Maintenance

Only a cleaning liquid (thinner) of the risk A2 class of may be used for the cleaning of the spraying system with a flash point more than 21°C.

For cleaning the spray system in the processing of so-called water-based paints, use cleaning agent recommended by the paint manufac-turer. Please note, butylglycol residues are conductive. Remark• Do not put components of the spraying system into cleaning liquids for some time. • Do not damage spraying bell.

Damages of the spraying bell lead to imbalance and will destroy the durability of the bearings of the turbine.

8.2 Cleaning

8.2.1 Intervals of cleaning worksAny cleaning should only be performed by through authorized Reiter professionals through training or proper instructions.

Use only plant- or components compatible cleaner. If in doubt, consult the system/application man-ufacturer.

Do not use brushes, thy may lose bristles. Do not use cloths that lint or other auxiliary tools, lose particles. They are not allowed for cleaning.

Cloth or other wetted tools with cleaner are basically wipe off prior to contact with the Centre Bell 2012 unit that no drops of the medium can run into the unit. A spraying or injecting of the atom-izer unit is not allowed. When cleaning with compressed air or with support of compressed air is to make sure that no medium or dirt particles in the drive (turbine) can pass.

A warranty claim by REITER GmbH + Co. KG Oberflächentechnik is excluded by the use of unau-thorized personnel or inexpert handling.

It is highly recommended that individual parts of the unit to be disassembled prior to cleaning. To shut down the production unnecessarily, replacement components may be used, which are option-ally available in the cleaning time.

With electrostatic high rotating systems, the finish result is among other things, strongly influenced by the condition (cleanliness) of the spray bell.

Is therefore necessary to ensure for a largely trouble-free operation that the bell cup is cleaned regularly.

In automatic mode, the cleaning cycles for the spray bell, defined depending of the material to be processed and automatically activated (bell flushing) – depending on the type of plant. For longer interruptions or disturbances of the painting process, manual bell cleaning before reboot may be required.

Here, the installation of a bell cover cleaning device, which can also be integrated into the auto-matic process, is very helpful (robotic systems).

Furthermore, stable high voltage values are of great importance for the uniform coating quality.Here it is important that the surfaces (plastic housing/flange) of the atomizer unit regularly to check on the level of contamination and clean if necessary.

For heavily soiled surfaces (with conductive material), the high voltage is derived to the grounded fixed supports, reciprocator or robots. Please note, butylglycol residues are conductive.

Please note, butyl glycol residues are conductive.

At constant voltage high voltage power supplies can be observed by the power consumption/dis-play the increase in degree of contamination.If before you reach the shutdown, the system is cleaned, an unscheduled plant stop, caused by overcurrent, usually be prevented.

8.2.2 Cleaning of the componentsThe degree of contamination and the properties of the medium to be atomized determine the pe-riod / interval in which certain cleaning work must be performed in order to obtain the process and operational safety of the spraying system.

For the professional cleaning a partial dismantling of the atomizer is necessary. This work may only be done by Reiter trained and authorized personnel.Furthermore, reference is made to the relevant safety and potential hazards in these operating in-structions.

In addition, to ensure that:

• the system was flushed

• the system has been depressurized

• the system is protected against being switched on again

• the high voltage is off and secured against reconnection

• resistant protective clothing is worn

• an orderly and clean workplace is ready to store and assemble various small parts to be able to without them being contaminated with dirt particles.

8 Maintenance

To clean the components is to use a system-compatible detergent. If in doubt, consult the manufac-turer of the application or the supplier of the media used in the plant.

The bell cover, the spray bell and the nozzle should be disassembled for cleaning. Depending on requirements, they can be inserted in the cleaning agent to solve encrustations.

Cleaning tools such as brushes which can lose bristles or lint cloths are strictly avoided (see 8.2.1 Cleaning intervals).

The entire unit Center Bell 2012 may be immersed in no case in cleaning medium or other liquids.

Please use your exchange components to sustain to production during cleaning.

The edges (shown in red) • the bell cover, • the spray bell, • the paint nozzle are very sensitive and must not be damaged or show signs of dam-age.

Do not use hard objects such as spatula, knife or screwdriver to re-move material residues. Also, brushes made of brass or steel wire are not suitable.Make sure that no scratches occur because the components no longer allowed to be used!If you are unsure contact the application manufacturer!

Cleaning and maintenance can not always separate exactly. A damaged O-ring that stands out during cleaning, for example, actually belongs not to the clean-ing process but already for maintenance (replacement of parts).

8.3 Intervals of maintenance worksThe maintenance/check of the spraying system Center Bell 2012 must be carried out after a tight rhythm, regardless of the actual operating hours graduated. If the spraying system is used in a con-tinuous operation, then the maintenance works must be carried out at least once a week.

The time frames are empirical values, using different materials can lead to different time intervals.

8.3.1 Daily check (before or after shift start/end)Spraying bell/bell cover

• Check for damage particularly at the spraying edge of the spraying bell and the edge of the bell cover. Check run out and smooth operation of the turbine shaft.

• Check for dirt inside and outside, clean if necessary.

Externally clearly discernible damage to the spray bell/bell cap or on the atomizer indicate a collision. Here it is assumed that the turbine bearing could have been damaged.

Purely as a precaution the change unit should be replaced.Also, the terminal block for the hose package and the robot flange should be examined for damage (cracks, etc.).

During production, the display values of the current consumption (high voltage supply) and the op-erating pressure for the turbine to be observed.

Above average values indicate possible disturbances.

Higher values for current consumption for the HV supply are an indication of the degree of pollution in the atomizer area.

Higher operating pressure for the turbine and increased running noises indicate an impending bearing failure.

NoteIf the operating pressure of the turbine indicates a coming bearing damage, an operational change unit should be provided for the change (see also Chapter 9 “Storage and provision of an opera-tional change unit”).

8.4 Exchange the change unit Center Bell 2012In the change unit all active functional components of the spray system are integrated.

In case of malfunction in the area of paint valves/valve block or compressed air turbine, the com-plete assembly can be replaced in less than 3 minutes

Note (robot painting installations):One advantage of robotic systems is also the possibility to program an optimum position/position for changing the atomizer unit.

In order to prevent the flange, optic cable and open holes are possibly contaminated by dripping paint or solvents, we recommend switching to set up a rotated position (180° to the neutral zero position of the robot axis).

In this position, all material feeding terminals are on the bottom housing edge area. Delay-material would drain only down and not cause contamination of functional parts (see figure below).

Before the unit is changed, make sure that all precautions have been made, which must be observed when working on the spray device (see chapter 8.1).

In particular, the disconnection of the high voltage and the emp-tying of the fluid lines must be observed!

Possibly trapped residual pressure possible, therefore wear pro-tective goggles.

8.5.3 Paint nozzles – Disassemble/assembleThe spraying bell has to be dismantled prior to dismantling the paint nozzle (see chapter 8.5.1 „Spray bell – Disassemble/assemble“).

Disassemble

• Disassemble paint nozzle with wrench (2) (right-hand thread).

Assemble

• Lightly grease the paint nozzle (1) at thread and fit the seal in the paint tube manually.

• Screw in the paint nozzle until slight restistance by hand (the paint nozzle is now up to the sealing sleeve on). In order to ensure a tight system a gap of 0.15 to 0.5 mm between paint tube and the paint nozzle must remain. This corresponds to 1/3 to one full turn to the nozzle their prescribed 7 - 8 Nm reached torque and the gap is completely closed (torque wrench with 10-er use nut!).

Paint nozzle may not touch the shaft, take gap measure of 0,3-0,5 mm into account!Absolutely pay attention to central seat of the nozzle to the turbine hol-low shaft. Visual inspection of the end face of the turbine in the direc-tion of the hollow shaft.

• To make sure that you have sufficient bias to the nozzle, we recommend to use a new gasket after each nozzle disassembly. The used sealing collar can be set via an M4-taps, which can be screwed by hand with gentle pressure, pulled out of the paint tube.

• After dismantling the nozzle, the sealing piece remains in the paint tube. It is made of Teflon (PTFE), and thus resistant to “usual“ cleaners and solvents. A repeat use is conceivable, but to consider in every case.

• Please use for mounting the nozzle with torque wrench our new “key paint nozzle” (2) (see below).

In operation of the atomizer without sealing sleeve can cause paint carryover, leaks and even to turbine failures arising e.g. by leaks at the joint between tube and color paint nozzle. For system failures or damage that may result from a mishandling, is no warranty by REITER.

Assemble

In this, as shown above prepared lower housing part is placed the prepared assembly from above. The individual axial adapter and the paint hose must be inserted simultaneously into the holes in the housing, or in the fittings.It is helpful if the cap nut (SW 22) is applied only by hand in order to rotate the two housing parts in a position to where the axial adapter is exactly right angles to the housing bore.

It is important to ensure that the axial adapters are plugged in to the same depth.Radial rotation of the housing causes unequal insertion and lopsided axial adapter.

The correct insertion depth is achieved when the lid of the turbine rests in the clamping ring base and hem of the clamping ring is flush.When the turbine and the valve body are aligned, the upper part of the clamping ring is attached and with the two greased cap screws – M6x30 – with 6 Nm tightened. Then tighten the cap nut (SW22).

As a next step, the lightly greased paint valves are screwed (hand tighten only). Finally, the control air hose, the blocking air hose and optic cables are connected and tightened.The coloured different control air hoses are assigned to the respective paint valves and thus need to be connected to the right valve (assignment, see section 5.2.3.1).

After placing the upper housing and the cap, the change unit is ready for operation.

RemarkThis chapter has been deliberately omitted the detailed listing of individual steps, because this work is to be performed only by trained personnel.

8.8 Terminal block – Hose packageGeneralAll supply lines, control air lines, optic cables and HV cables leading from the respective connection points, at least in parts, by a corrugated hose, to the terminal block of the spray system. In general, these lines are referred to as “hose package”.

The high voltage cable is carried out by the terminal block and terminating in a connecting piece which is firmly connected to the spraying system.By a cable gland the HV cable is held in the set position (see chapter 8.3.2).

This solution means that when changing the change unit the HV cable automatically docked off or on. The line lengths vary from project to project and be installed and connected usually from REITER service engineers.This also applies to the replacement of pipes during maintenance and repair work. Therefore, at this point it is omitted to describe the individual steps in detail.

8.9 Optic cable (Scheme speed measurement)

For speed control/control of the air turbine, 2 pulses per revolution be tapped on the rotor of the tur-bine, which pass through optical fiber to a sensor.

The sensor processes the pulses into an analog value, which is evaluated for the regulation/control of the speed.The optical radiation of the optic cables may act in the EX zones (1), (2), (21), (22) .The sensor must be installed outside the EX zone.

The max. permissible length of the optic cable is 15 m. Functional safety is dependent on the type and structure of the installation. Kinking, squeezing ten-sile forces and too tight radii (min. R 30), lead to measurement errors, power loss and premature wear.

To protect against damage, the in the hose package integrated optical fibers led in a protective tubes, which also serve as strain relief.

Maintenance

• The installation and maintenance may only be performed by trained personnel. The outlet openings of the light guide and the sensor must be kept clean and free of grease.

• Light guide may not be cleaned with solvents.

• Clean with mild soap or industrial alcohol.

• Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer.

• Safety notes of laser device of the class. 2

• The laser light generated by the sensor corresponds in its intensity of class 2 (class 2, 650nm, visible red light, Po ≤ 1 mW).

8 Maintenance

During the assembly, commissioning and operating the norm “Safety of Laser Products” EN 60825-1 para. 12.5.1/12.6.1/2 is mandatory to follow. There are only precautions necessary to prevent a continuing, direct stare into the beam. Short-lived radiation (0.25s), which can occur at random look directly, will not considered hazardous.

A hazard is present only as long as the optic cables are not connected.

The light exiting at the free end of the optical fiber is broken several times and is therefore safe for people.

We strongly recommend to set the replaced spray system maintenance again to have an opera-tional unit available.

9.3.1 StorageReconditioned spray systems which are stored for longer periods, should not put into operation without break-in time (grease distribution) of the air turbine.

Our many years of experience with high-speed bearings of the turbine shows that after a long time spent lubricating film breaks off in the stock.

The turbine has to go through an intake cycle.

One way to get the quick start-up of the stored atomizer unit upright is that any indications of a, emerging bearing damage (increased turbine pressure or running noise), to connect the atomizer unit on the installation and running-in aid (part no. 63326070 – option) and let run-in to 3 hours.

The installation and running-in aid is also a useful aid for the careful use of the change unit for maintenance and repair work.

When storing the change unit should also be noted:

a) Closed storage place

b) Temperature 10°C - max. 40°C

c) Humidity <65%

d) No influence of chemical gases/vapours/aerosols

9.4 Assembly and running-in aid (part no. 63326070 – Option)This simple device is designed for safe and gentle handling when carrying out maintenance and re-pair work on the change unit for the electrostatic high rotation system Center Bell 2012.

Moreover, it is possible by connecting the base to the compressed air supply by means of a PA tube (4 x 6) to have a so-called grease distribution for the turbine bearings.

The quality of the used compressed air should meet the requirements of compressed air, as given for the painting installation.

The hole cross sections of the compressed air supply to the turbine connection are chosen so that the speed control is not required.

The follows speeds are reached at different supply pressures: Compressed air 4 bar: approx. 15 - 16.000 rpmCompressed air 5 bar: approx. 20 - 21.000 rpmCompressed air 6 bar: approx. 25 - 26.000 rpm The running time per level should be about 10 - 20 min.

If within 2 - 3 days after grease distribution running the turbine is used, the spray system can be used immediately in the normal painting installation.
