Drum Unloader System
CAUTION: Always wear safety glasses and appropriate safety
gear when operating the Saniflo™ DUS unit.
CAUTION: Always perform an inspection of the entire system
before each use. Ensure that all parts are in good working
condition and do not show signs of wear.
WARNING: Prior to installing a Saniflo™ DUS into an applic ation,
you must first ensure that the DUS components are compatible
with the process media and any cleaning or sanitation
products.
WARNING: Never attempt to modify the Saniflo™ DUS unit.
Modification will change the dynamics of the DUS and could
damage the unit, result in failure of the unit, or cause harm to
anyone in the area.
CAUTION: A lway s disc onne c t the main air s upply t o the Sani flo™
DUS before service or repairs are attempted. Failure to do so
could result in harm to anyone in the area.
CAUTION: The Saniflo™ DUS unit must be properly secured
while in use. Failure to properly secure the system while in use
could result in harm to anyone in the area.
CAUTION: When using the Saniflo™ DUS unit, it is extremely
important to note that the retracting downward movement can
cause a pinch point at two areas of the unit.
1. A pinch point is located at the bottom of the structure when
the ram plate is lowered to the base assembly. To avoid injury
to anybody operating this equipment or to anyone in the area
of the equipment, keep hands, arms and head clear of plate and
drum edge.
2. Another pinch point is located at the area where the ram
support bar comes in the vicinity of the header plate. To avoid
injury to anybody operating this equipment or to anyone in the
area of the equipment when it is in operation, a safe distance
must be kept from the ram support bar/header plate area.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air pressure to the
Saniflo™ DUS unit.
Do not exceed 1.7 bar (25 psig) air pressure to the RAM DOWN.
For normal operation, 1.0 bar (15 psig) is suggested.
Do not exceed 5.5 bar (80 psig) air pressure to the RAM UP. For
normal operation, 4.1 bar (60 psig) is suggested.
CAUTION: Before attaching an air source to the DUS unit, inspect
all hose connections to ensure they are secure.
CAUTION: The E-stop can be used in any situation to stop all
movement of the system. If the E-stop is activated while in ram
down mode the ram plate with stop and retract slightly
CAUTION: After the E-stop (Emergency shut-off) has been
activated or air supply has been interrupted, first reset the E-
stop by turning clock-wise. Then reset the system by depressing
the air supply reset button.
CAUTION: The DUS unit should anchored to the floor using the
4 bolt holes in the base plate to comply with local and company
codes.
CAUTION: DUS Moving – Movement of the DUS unit should only
be carried out by qualified and / or trained pers onnel. Removable
casters are provided with the DUS. Verify with companies safety
policy if permitted. Remove casters if not permitted.
CAUTION: Moving - When moving the DUS unit, be sure that the
pump and ram are in the down position.
CAUTION: Before operating Saniflo™ DUS unit, attach drum
retention hooks to secure drum during operation. Failure to
do so will result in drum being moved and/or lifted when ram
assembly is moved upward. The drum retention device chain
should be tight and not allow any movement of the drum of the
base/floor.
WARNING: It is important to follow the assembly instructions
provided when building the Saniflo™ DUS unit. Altering the
steps or changing the process may result in operation issues
including improper rise and fall of the follower plate assembly.
Pump
NOTE: Pump not included with Saniflo™ DUS. Pump sold
separately.
CAUTION: Do not apply compressed air to the exhaust port
– pump will not operate.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air supply
pressure.
CAUTION: D o n o t ove r- l u br ic a te a ir s up pl y. E xc es s iv e lub ri c at io n
will reduce pump performance.
TEMPERATURE LIMITS:
Neoprene –17.7°C to 93.3°C 0°F to 200°F
Buna-N –12.2°C to 82.2°C 10°F to 180°F
EPDM –51.1°C to 137.8°C –60°F to 280°F
Viton
®
–40.0°C to 176.7°C –40°F to 350°F
Saniflex™ –28.9°C to 104.4°C –20°F to 220°F
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
4.4°C to 104.4°C 40°F to 220°F
Polyurethane –12.2°C to 65.6°C 10°F to 150°F
CAUTION:
Maximum temperature limits are based upon mechanical
stress only. Certain chemicals will significantly reduce maximum
safe operating temperatures. Consult Chemical Resistance Guide
(E4) for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
WARNING: Prevention of static sparking – if static sparking
occurs, fire or explosion could result. Pump, valves, and
containers must be grounded to a proper grounding point when
handling flammable fluids and whenever discharge of static
electricity is a hazard.
CAUTION: The process fluid and cleaning fluids must be
chemically compatible with all wetted pump components.
Consult Chemical Resistance Guide (E4).
CAUTION: Do not exceed 82.2°C (180.0°F) air inlet temperature
for Pro-Flo V™ models.
CAUTION: Pumps should be thoroughly flushed before installing
into process lines. FDA and USDA approved pumps should be
cleaned and/or sanitized before use.
CAUTION: If diaphragm rupture occurs, material being pumped
may be forced out air exhaust.
CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is attempted, the
compressed air line to the pump should be disconnected and all
air pressure allowed to bleed from pump. Disconnect all intake,
discharge and air lines. Drain pump by turning it upside down
and allowing any fluid to flow into a suitable container.
