SECTION A
General information on how to use the machine safely
A.1 AUTHORISED MACHINE USE
This series of separators should be used prevalently to separate plastic parts coming from the moulding machines and going
towards the accumulation area
The separator angle can be varied and the following adjustments are possible:
- height and angle of the separator;
- regulation of the distance between one pipe and the other.
ATTENTION:
The maximum weight of the parts to be separated should not exceed a total of 20 Kg. The vibration separators are not suitable for
separating loose material, such as liquids and powders in general.
The vibratin separators can be easily used by all people who operate the plant in which they are installed, and if used correctly do
not present any risks for the operator.
We recommend reading this manual, however, before using the machine.
VIRGINIO NASTRI srl declines any responsibility in the following cases:
- if the separators are used in evident contrast to the manner indicated in this instruction booklet;
- if there are supply faults;
- if the necessary maintenance is not carried out as indicated;
- if unauthorised modifications are made;
- if unauthorised spare parts or spare parts that are not specifically for the model are used;
- in cases of exceptional events.
A.2 INFORMATION ON RESIDUE RISKS
Residue risk: a risk that remains in spite of all the precautions adopted, or a potential risk that is not evident (Directive 89/392/
par.1.7.2.).
This series of separators does not present residue risks for the operator, as long as the instructions given in this manual are
followed. In spite of this, however, the following indications are valid according to usage conditions:
High temperature: the vibration separator should be used to separate newly moulded parts which are hot. Should it be necessary to
intervene, use protective gloves (in particular regarding the piece fall point).
A.3 REFERENCE STANDARDS AND PROVISIONS
- The separators of this series were designed and manufactured to satisfy the Essential Safety requirements as dictated by the
89/392 Directive, Annex I.
- Reference is made to the EN 60204 – 1 Standard, September 1993 edition, for electric equipment.

SECTION B
Information on how to use the separator
WARNING: Before reading this section you must be familiar with what is indicated in section A, an integral part of the user
manual which must be understood for using the machine SAFELY.
B.1 MACHINE TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION AND LAYOUT
The separators of this series are made up of a support sheet (1), with an entry chute (2) at one end. The chute moves the moulded
pieces above the separation pipes (4) that are supported by springs (5) which transmit the vibration of the motor (6). The motor is
commanded by a switch (7).
The vibrating pipes separate the pieces: the smallest pieces are collected under the separator, while the bigger pieces exit from the
unload chute (3).
The separator is supported by telescopic supports (10) complete with casters with locking device (13), which make it easier to move
the machine in the work area.
The noise level at the operator’s work place is < 70 dB(A).

B.2 COMMANDS
The control commands are positioned in the piece
loading area. The switch complete with starting
pushbutton and stop pushbutton can be found here.
(fig. A)
Emergency stop: when necessary remove the
blender power plug.
B.3 REGULATIONS
Regulating the height of the separator (fig. B)
ATTENTION:
This operation should be carried out by at least two people.
Loosen the nuts (12), extract the screws (11) and raise or
lower the telescopic supports (10). When the necessary
height has been reached, rethread the screws (11) and tighten
the nuts (12).
Regulating the separator angle (fig. B)
ATTENTION:
The separator does not remain balanced when the stop nuts
(9) are loosened.
Two people are necessary for carrying out this operation, one
to hold and regulate the separator, the other to loosen and
tighten the stop nuts (9).

Regulating the distance between the pipes (fig. C)
To regulate the distance between the pipes firstly loosen the screws (14) and lower the chutes (2-3). After this, loosen the screws
(15) and reposition the pipes (4) at regular intervals, using shims (16) according to the dimensions of the pieces to be separated.
Once the pipes have been positioned correctly, tighten the screws (15) and close the chutes (2-3).

B.4 TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION
Transportation
The vibration separators are packed using stretch film and
the electric panel and gearmotor are also protected by
sponge rubber.
ATTENTION
The packaging material (plastic film and sponge rubber)
should not be disposed of in the environment but in
accordance with current norms.
The vibration separators should be raised using a fork lift
truck. The overall dimensions and mass of the separators in
this series are given in para. P1.
DANGER
For operator safety and machine integrity, please refer to fig.
D, which shows where to insert the forks in order to raise
the separator in a stable manner.
Once on the lorry loading surface, the machine should be
fixed using levers to block the wheels. Suitable slings or
fixing methods should also be prepared to ensure stability
during transportation.
Installation
No particular preliminary operations are necessary when starting the vibration separator for the first time.
The separator should be connected to an outlet having suitable characteristics. Use the supplied plug.
When laying the cables, please make sure that they are protected against damage and that they cannot trip the operators.
ATTENTION:
Before starting the vibration separator:
- make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the one indicated on the plate. The plate can be found next to the overload
cutout;
- make sure that the motors are rotating in the correct direction.
ATTENTION:
When the machine has been installed, lock the casters using the levers on each wheel.

SECTION C
Information on maintenance and repairs
C.1 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL NOTES
The operator must ensure that the machine is kept clean of foreign material such as deposits, oil or others.
The machine should therefore be cleaned at the end of each work shift when it has stopped and is in a stable condition.
ATTENTION:
Before starting, the operator should switch off the separator and extract the mains plug to avoid any possibility of accidental
starting.
If compressed air is used to clean the machine, protective goggles with additional mask should be used. Any people in the
surrounding area should also be removed to avoid the danger of being hit and injured by material and dust.
Do not use pressurised water directly on the electric apparatus.
It is forbidden to use flammable liquids for cleaning.
Periodically check the state of the plates and replace them if necessary.
Once the machine has been cleaned, the operator should make sure that there are no parts that are worn or damaged (if there are,
immediately request the intervention of the maintenance technician) or parts that are not solidly fixed (do as much as possible).
The operator and possible maintenance technician must wear suitable working clothes that do not fly about, and should not wear
chains, bracelets or other items that could easily catch in the moving mechanical organs. Operators with long hair should use a
hairnet to prevent the risk of entanglement.
The protection and safety devices must not be removed unless a repair and/or maintenance operation is to be carried out.
These devices must be replaced as soon as the reason for their temporary removal has been corrected, and in any case before the
machine is started again.
ATTENTION:
At the end of each machine intervention, use the relative levers to lock the wheels.
This series of separators does not require particular maintenance operations, just some simple interventions.
Inspect to ensure that:
- the motors are not leaking lubricant;
- the electric cable insulation sheath is in good condition (approx. every 2000 working hours).
ATTENTION:
Before carrying out this operation the machine must be put out of service. In order to do this disconnect the plug from the mains
socket after switching off the separator.
