Granulators Operation and Installation Manual

4 Installation
4-1 Lifting
Important!
Before lifting or moving the granulator, check the relative weight shown on the
shipping papers and in Figure 4.
To facilitate the lifting operation using forklift trucks, the drop box
has been removed from the granulator and is packed with any
spare parts.
When using a forklift to move the granulator, make sure it is
suitable for the weight and dimensions of the granulator. When
moving, take care not to damage delicate parts. To lift the machine
with a forklift, place the carriage forks under its base (See Figure
5). Where a forklift truck is not available, it is possible to use
cables or belts, provided that they are strong enough to support the
weight of the granulator, then carry out the lifting procedure.
Important!
During the movement, the load must remain in a horizontal position, regardless of
the type of equipment used.
4-2 Positioning the Granulator
Important!
Make sure that the base on which the granulator is supported is solid and
completely level, in order to rigidly support the granulator without its being
subjected to vibration. It is recommended that the floor be reinforced concrete
with a very smooth support surface.
Place the granulator in an area large enough to allow sufficient
space on all sides for the operator to carry out maintenance.
Although the granulator controls and electrical components
comply with CEE & NEMA codes and regulations, the machine
must be placed in an area free from humidity, dampness, and
