Installation and commissioning
General information
Please follow below mentioned advices to protect the stainless steel
housing of the sole cleaning machine during storing, before installa-
tion, commissioning and use.
- Protect the machine against environmental inuences like rain,
sunshine and frost. Use the machine only in closed rooms.
- To avoid contact corrosion (e.g. carbon steels, steel spanes, tools
for steel processing) the surface of the machine must not be in
touch with other kind of steels.
Operation
Cleaning principle
- Cleaning of shoes and boots with horizontal roller brushes (Fig. 1)..
Transport and installation
Weight of the machine is abt. 175 kg. Due to the heaviness,
transportation and unpacking should be done by 2 workers using
suitable means of transport.
Use the machine in closed rooms only. When choosing the place of
installation please consider the necessary space 1430 x 877 mm
and the availability of power supply (more details see further course
of chapter Installation and commissioning). When setting up the
machine, make sure that the dirt drawer can be pulled out complete-
ly at the front. The Control cabinet has to be xed at suitable place
on the wall. The ground must be level and slip protected. To ensure
stability level out any uneven oor areas by adjusting the feet under
help of a spirit level.
Electrical connection
- 3-phase 400 V + grounding, power: 0,75 kW
- Connection to the clamps in the control cabinet (see sector Techni-
cal data > conguration of clamping strips)
Take care that available voltage in your country is corres-
ponding to machine's voltage!
Machine's power supply must be electrically protected
against indirect contacts:
- High sensitive difference power protection device max. 30 mA.
- This protection must be provided by the house installation and is
not supplied with the machine.
- The control cabinet should be mounted approx. 1,2 m above oor
level for easy accessibility.
- Turn-on and check rotating direction of the brushes.
Precaution while commissioning
Never remove or block the contact switches on the housing,
which are active when the grid is closed/down. When
opening the grid during operation these will automatically
turn off the power supply and will stop the rotation of the
brushes.
Use of sole cleaning function
The sole cleaning function starts when entering the machine
(possible from both sides) thus activating an optoelectronic signal
(reection sensor barrier) (Fig. 2) and causes:
- Rotation of roller brushes which are driven by a gear motor.
The function stops when the reection sensor barrier is no longer
occupied.
Adjustment of rotation time of the roller brushes
The desired rotation time for the cleaning operation of the both
roller brushes can be individually adjusted by means of timers
in the control cabinet (Fig. 3). The factory preset value is
10 seconds.
Proper cleaning of the running treads of shoes and
boots
The dwell time (exceedance time) has a signicant inuence on the
cleaning result. Cross the step grid in small steps from one end of
the machine to the other. Use the handrail with both hands all the
time.

Recommended service intervals
Below mentioned intervals are based on our experiennce. In this
regard, however, the real applications play the decisive part (kind of
contamination, service period, et cetera.) That is the reason why you
have to adapt the intervals according to your own experience.
Service and maintenance
Service and maintenance should be carried out only by custom-
er service technicians. To secure optimal functioning of the sole
cleaning machine, it should be controlled, cleaned and serviced in
regularly intervals. HEUTE® cleaning machines are service reduced
and reliable. However, there are components which will wear out after
a correspondingly long service life and/or reduce the cleaning result.
Unplug the power supply at the control cabinet prior to all
interventions in the machine.
In case of unintended opening of the grid the rotation of the
roller brushes stops automatically.
Control
The machine should be checked for correct function regularly. While
doing so, inspect whether components are damaged or worn and
whether the machine is able to ensure the required cleaning effect.
No foreign object is allowed to be within the rotary area of the roller
brushes.
Cleaning
The cleaning intervals of the machine depend on the in-plant oper-
ating conditions. With increasing dirt, shorten the cleaning intervals.
With decreasing dirt, extend the cleaning intervals accordingly.
Maintenance
The Neptun SCS1 dry is considered to be very low-maintenance and
reliable. However, there are some components, which will wear out
after a long period of service and will reduce the cleaning quality -
e.g. brushes.
Brushes, the bristles of which, for example, have snapped off or got
too soft to be able removing dirt in active manner, point to excessive
wear.
Suitable spare parts can be purchased from the specialist dealer or
manufacturer.
Instructions on replacement of wearing parts are described below in
the chapter Service and maintenance.
Change of roller brushes
1. Lift up the grid (locking function when open) to get access to
the two roller brushes and to activate the switching-off fuction of
the machine. The roller brushes can be removed without special
tools (by two persons, if necessary) (Fig. 4).
2. Horizontal roller brushes: Pull the front side up (Fig. 5). The roller
brushes are driven by a cross pin placed on the gear motor side.
3. When re-inserting the roller brushes make sure that the cross
pin is positioned correctly and the brush ts properly.

Cleaning of surfaces
The micro-blast stainless steel surface is made of stainless steel
type 304.
During the cleaning work, the following has to be noted, and
cleaning has to be carried out always by thoroughly ushing with
clear water:
-Avoidance of contact with carbon steel
-No use of steel sponge, grinding powder
-No use of chlorine products and bleaching agents
Cleaning of roller brushes
The nylon brushes must be cleaned dry or wet during the cleaning
intervals, depending on the degree of soiling. Dry cleaning can be
carried out by knocking/sucking off the dirt particles with the brush
removed (see Change of roller brushes). A wet cleaning of the nylon
brushes must be carried out with plenty of water without pressure
(no high pressure cleaner) or by spraying or soaking. Use a mild
additional cleaning medium for wet cleaning, make sure that the
cleaner does not contain any corrosive components.
Disassembly of brush axle
1. Remove roller brush (see chapter Service and maintenance >
Change of roller brushes)
2. Remove Allen screw on the front longitudinal side of the brush
body with suitable tool (Fig. 6).
3. Remove snap ring located at the face of the brush body with
suitable tool, and subsequently extract the distance washer.
4. Now the brush can be pulled off the axle (Fig. 8).
5. When assembling, put the pin in the center position of the brush,
tighten the grub screw, insert distance washer (ø 30 mm) and
mount the snap ring.
