when one of the two terms (months or hours) applies.
2. The electrical and/or electronic components are covered by the warranties issued by the
manufacturers of each component.
3. The warranty does not cover for tear and wear of moving parts.
4. Parts that may become faulty during operation must be sent to the supplier’s facilities, free of
charge, to be inspected.
5. While the warranty is valid, the supplier is obliged only to replace or repair, to his sole
discretion, those parts that may be faulty due to workmanship defects.
6. Under no circumstances shall the supplier be held liable for direct or indirect damage
resulting from improper use of the machinery. In the same way, a machine stop shall not
entitle the user to ask the supplier for any compensation for loss of potential profit or works.
7. The warranty does not cover any direct or indirect damage resulting from:
a. Lack of maintenance;
b. Insufficient, incorrect or no lubrication/ greasing;

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE
Our drying plants have been fully revised recently. Significant innovations have been introduced
that turn our range of machines into one of the most advanced in the market today.
The core of the plant is the control system: it is no longer based on dedicated printed circuit
boards, as in the Vacutronic, but rather on high-end products that are easy to find in international
markets.
The PLCs used are state-of-the-art Siemens PLCs.
State-of-the-art Siemens PLC
(S7-1200)
The core of the heating system is an advanced power controller that heat timber with absolute
precision.
This device can control several areas independently and distributes heat where it is needed
in order to ensure that the drying process is uniform. During this heating step up to 30%
more energy can be saved compared with the previous system.
The operation cycles are saved in different work programs that can be easily used by the operator.

2.4 AMBIENT CONDITIONS ALLOWED
The machine is to be installed and used inside a closed room; the ambient conditions of such
room must be the regular suitable conditions so that operators can work and the product can be
made. Therefore, the machine must not be installed in atmospheres contaminated with steams or
gases, suspended particulates, bacteria, insects or any other element that may compromise the
conditions for both product and operators.
A room temperature ranging between +5 °C and +40 °C is recommended so that the machine can
work properly.
2.5 OPERATING CLEARANCE
The machine must positioned in such a way that there is a clear space around it, as per the
distances shown in the figure above, so that an operator or an operator with some tools can easily
reach the machine and its parts for any operations or maintenance tasks.

3.1 GENERAL RULES
I.S.V.E. have taken utmost care when designing this range of machines so that they are as safe
as possible; they are equipped with all guards, protections and safety devices deemed necessary.
In brief, all information has been supplied so that the machines are safely and properly used.
As regards the ‘lighting of the working environment’, the room where the machine is installed
should have no areas of shadow, no irritating dazzle or dangerous stroboscopic effects due to the
lighting present.
The rooms should have good ventilation and, if applicable, a suitable evacuation system.
The machine must be operated only by qualified operators. It has been built to shred plastic scrap
or similar materials. Materials other than those specified can be used only after a permit in writing
is issued by I.S.V.E. If there is no such permit, the manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage
to the machine or things and/or injury to people and animals.
Operators, maintenance and cleaning personnel, control staff, etc. shall behave in strictly
compliance with the accident prevention regulations of the country where the machine will be
used. Operators are advised to wear clothing suitable for the work place and the situation they are
in.
Machine operators or maintenance workers are advised to pay utmost care with the clothes they
wear. They must not wear:
- Garments with straps that could get entangled in some machine parts.
- Ties or any other hanging/ loose items of clothing;
- Bulky rings or bracelets that may cause hands to get caught by the machine components.
Before starting to work, the operator must perfectly know the position and functioning of all the
controls as well as the characteristics of the machine.
NB:
REFER TO SECTION 0.4 FOR OPERATOR QUALIFICATION
The machine must be at a standstill and power cut off for routine and
supplementary maintenance as well as cleaning tasks.
It is good practice to follow the general installation and connection rules for electrical connections;
only qualified personnel should be in charge of such connections.
It is strictly forbidden to tamper with the safety devices installed in the machine;
All use and safety operations on the machine must strictly follow the instructions supplied in the
relevant descriptions;
Never modify any part of the machine for any reason whatsoever. Should the machine
malfunction, I.S.V.E. shall not be liable for any problem resulting from failing to observe the rules
above.
It is advisable to ask the manufacturer for an authorisation should you need to make any changes
to the machine.
Use a clean and dry cloth or a cloth moistened with a soft cleaning solution to clean the machine
coatings, panels and controls. Never use any kind of solvents, such as alcohol or petrol, since they
can spoil the surfaces;

3 – SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION

REMARK
Qualified personnel means personnel that have attended specialisation, education
and training courses, and have experience in installing, starting, using and servicing
machinery.
3.2 INTENDED USE, UNINTENDED USE AND MISUSE
3.2.1 Intended use
The machine to which this manual relates has been designed to dry semi-finished wood products
of different types of timber species.
3.2.2 Unintended use
Using this machine to treat materials not specified in the terms of the agreement or to obtain
results out of the scope of the provisions shall be regarded as an UNINTENDED USE, and
therefore, an INCORRECT use.
I.S.V.E. shall not be held liable for any damage to people or things resulting from the
incorrect use of the machine and shall regard any warranty on the machine to be null and
void.

3.3 SAFETY DEVICES
The machine is equipped with safety devices that protect both workers and the machine itself.
Users are warned not to remove or tamper with these devices.
Emergency Stop push-buttons
The emergency STOP push-button, Fig. 03-00, is a mushroom-head red push-button on a yellow
background that is found in the control panel and on the side of the machine. This push-button is
used every time an emergency situation arises. If pressed, it immediately stops all moving parts.
Fig. 03-00
REMARK: Pull the red push-button to release.
REMARK: The position of this push-button on the electrical panel may vary
depending on the model.
