3 Installation Notes
To prevent damage to machines, systems and
injury to people, only people authorized to perform
installation and start-up tasks should do so.
These installation notes assume
knowledge of accident prevention rules,
operating conditions, and safety regula-
tions and their implementation.
These isntallation notes assume electrical
and mechanical skills gained as a result of
education, experience, and training.
Make sure that people performing these tasks
have the appropriate skills.
Obey all safety rules when working with hoists.
Perform all installation tasks with the system in a
depressurized, powered-down state.
Our trained installers would be glad to assist you
with these tasks.
3.1 Transport and preparing for
assembly
The system and ist accessories are delivered on
pallets. Use only appropirate equipment to move
the paletts (e.g., forklift, crane, etc.).
Only qualified personnel may operate
transport or lift devices.
All metal parts are removed from the unit before it
is shipped. Despite our best efforts, metal parts
may fall back into the unit during transport, or
because of other ciricumstances.
Before the unit is started the first time,
make sure that the unit is free of all metal
parts and packaging.
The unit has a protective film on it to protect it
during transport and installation.
Remove all protective film before operat-
ing the unit for the first time.
3.2 Requirements for installation
area
Run the unit ONLY in closed, dry spaces.
Pay special attention to the load rating of
the installation area, especially if the unit is
being installed on a platform!
The floors around the machine (in the
building) must not present a stumbling
TRAINING MANUAL_Drymax_ATON_F_EN_V1_3 / 28.03.12
hazard; they must be level, easy to clean,
non-slip surfaces.
Make sure that all parts of the unit remain
easily accessible for maintenance and re-
pair work.
The temperature at the installation area should be
above +5C, but may not exceed a maximum
temperature of 40C. Remember that the unit will
emit additional heat and moisture at the installation
location. Make sure the area has sufficient ventila-
tion. Other temperature limits apply only to special
models equipped with an air-conditioned switch
carbinet.
3.3 Electrical connections
Comply with your local energy supplier's regula-
tions.
Only Wittmann service technicians, or qualified
personnel authorized by Wittmann, may set up and
assign the electrical connections.
Danger! High Voltage!
You must equip the unit with a main fuse
that will interrupt the power supply to the
unit.
For safety reasons, the ground wire connection
should be checked especially.
Install the power supply a safe distance away from
hot parts.
Lay all cords for the unit such that other
electrical devices cannot cause any dis-
ruptions. Be especially sure to separate
control lines and data transmission cords
from power cords.
For three-phase units check the direction
of rotation. The unit uses a right-hand field
of rotation.
The entire unit will have to be specially grounded if
you work with materials that cause strong electro-
static discharges as they are conveyed.
Cut all power to the unit before performing any
work on it. This is the most effective way to prevent
electrical accidents.
If work on the electrical system remains
uncompleted for some reason, make sure
the unit cannot be accidentally put into op-
eration.
Check all electrical connections and
threaded connections regularly to ensure
they are tight.
Page 6 of 44
3.4 Safety temperature limiter on
heating units
The safety temperature limiter triggers at a tem-
perature above 400C (752F), and the unit
switches off. If the 3 minutes waiting time for
shutdown is not observed, and the temperature is
too high, it also trips the safety temperature limiter.
To return to operation, the safety temperature
limiter must be reset with the reset button.
3.5 Installing an extraction system
for the regeneration waste air
Harmful gases, which ware discharged in-
to the environment especially by way of the
regeneration waste air of the drying air
generator, develop when some kinds of
plastics are dried. Ask your material manu-
facturer in this regard. In this case, a ex-
traction system of the regeneration air
must be present.
Installing an extraction system is also
practical to avoid temperatures being
exceeded at the place of installation.
When installing an extraction system
please note that the waste air may be very
moist. This can lead to the formation of
condensate which must on no account
reenter the drying air generator. The ex-
traction system must not change the air
throughput of the drying air generator, es-
pecially of the regeneration.
TRAINING MANUAL_Drymax_ATON_F_EN_V1_3 / 28.03.12
3.6 Connecting the return air cooler
(optional)
The return air cooler is preferably connected to a
cooling water system with supply and return. The
cooling water network must be designed to suit the
entire cooling capacity.
The return air cooler is always required if
the return air temperature permanently ex-
ceeds 85C or 185F.
The return air cooler increases the efficiency of the
drying agent (desiccant), so that a return air cooler
may be practical even with lower return air tem-
perature.
3.7 Installation of the integrated
BS/6 - system
To prevent damage to machines, systems and
injury to people, only people authorized to perform
installation and start-up tasks should do so.
The MASTER loader of the BS/6 loading system
should be located on the hopper closest to the dry-
air generator model DRYMAX.
Ensure that the BS/6 loader devices are configured
with the necessary jumpers (see training manual
FEEDMAX BS/6).
Our trained installers would be glad to assist you
with your tasks.

detects the drying demand and sets the prcess
temperature to the specified set value 'T set'.

The pump T generates the vacuum for the convey-

ing of resin through wand L to loader SILO and
finally into drying hopper S. The conveying process
works with a time sequence.

The above graph explains the relationship. It

shows the time over the temperature. The red
upper curve shows the process air temperature,
the blue lower curve shows the return air tempera-
ture.
In practice the following procedure is recommend-
ed for setting the threshold value 'MSF set'. Initially
set the threshold value 'MSF set' to maximum
(85C or 185F). Run the device under normal
production conditions (no machine stop-page). IMM
After approximatelx 2 hours of production a typical

of the loader IMM is open.
If there is no material need for the IMM loader and
SILO loader, then the bypass valve of the pump T -
is opened, and the dry-air valve G opens, to allow
the pump T to idle without load. After a delay time
of 3 minutes, the pump T will turn off. +

4.4.1.1 Setting material charge

Set the material charge of the loader on the suc-
tion lines or suction box. -
The material charge is the mixing ratio of
conveying air to conveying material.
To achieve a high conveying rate the material +
charge must be maximised. The maximum convey-
ing rate is hgihly dependent on the characteristics
of the granulate (size, bulk weight, shape) and the
conveying line (length, number of bends, convey-
ing height).

4.5 SILMAX drying hopper
(ATON in combination with
SILMAX Compact)
The SILMAX consists of a drying hopper, a pro-
cess heater and a conical air distributor.
The dried process air is heated by the process
heater and fed into the drying hopper. In the drying
hopper, the hot air meets the moist, cold plastic
granulate and the granulate releases moisture.
The moisture is supplied via the exhaust air to the
DRYMAX, which prepares the process air for the
next cycle.
If a SILMAX compact is combined with a
DRYMAX Aton the functions of menu 1
and 2 are not available. But the special
functions of menu 1 are available.
