0.3 METHOD USED FOR UPDATING
The Manufacturer reserves the right to modify the
design and make improvements to the Machine without
communicating it to Customers and without updating the
Manual already delivered to the user.
Moreover, if changes, which have been agreed with the
Manufacturer, are made to the Machine installed at the
Customer’s premises and involve the modication of one
or more chapters of the Instruction Manual, it will be the
responsibility of the Manufacturer to send the chapters
affected by the modication, together with the new global
revision model, to the holders of the Instruction Manual.
It is the responsibility of the user to follow the instructions
accompanying the updated documentation and replace
the old chapters with the new ones, the home page and
the index with those with the new revision level.
The Manufacturer is responsible for the descriptions
provided in Italian; any translations cannot be fully veried,
so, if an inconsistency is detected, the version in Italian
should be consulted and our sales ofce contacted, where
possible, which will make the any modication deemed
appropriate.

0.5.c Glossary and terminology
When drafting the manual, uncommon terms have
been adopted; below are some recurring terms in the
manual in order to provide a more complete view of their
meaning.
-Training: phase in which the knowledge required to
carry out the production activity independently, cost-
effectively, correctly and without risk is transferred to
the operator. When the system is rst commissioned,
training will be dened by the personnel authorised
by the Manufacturer.
-Safety device: device (other than a guard) that
reduces the risk, on its own or in conjunction with a
guard.
-Safety component: means a component used
to ensure a safety function and whose failure or
malfunction impairs the safety and/or health of
exposed persons.
-Man-machine interaction: any situation in which an
operator interacts with the machine during any of the
operational phases and at any time in its life.
-Routine maintenance: set of operations required
to maintain maximum efciency of the machines
and equipment installed in the line and ensure a
longer service life and constant upkeep of safety
requirements. Normally, the intervals and methods
of intervention are indicated by the Manufacturer and
described in the user manual.
-Unscheduled maintenance: interventions due
to unforeseeable events not scheduled by the
Manufacturer, which must be carried out by
specialised technicians to restore the machines and
equipment installed in the line to maximum efciency.
-Number of operators: adequate number of
operators to optimally carry out the described
operation and established through a careful analysis
carried out by the Manufacturer, consequently, the
use of a different number of operators could prevent
the expected result from being achieved or endanger
the safety of the personnel involved.
-Residual hazard: hazard that could not be eliminated
or reduced through the design against which the
protective guards are not (or are not totally) effective.
-Exposed person: any person who is wholly or partly
in a hazardous area.
-Operator qualication: minimum level of skills that
the operator must have to carry out the operation
described.
-Production plant manager: qualied technician,
with experience and expertise in the eld of
machinery for the reference sector. The manager
must be aware of the general safety regulations
(machine and workplace safety) to prevent any risk
and danger during normal operation and routine or
unscheduled maintenance operations.
-Risk: a combination of the probability and severity
of an injury or harm to health that may arise in a
hazardous situation.
-Guard: machine element used specically to ensure
protection by means of a tangible barrier.
-Machine status: see next page.
-Specialised technician: person appointed and/
or authorised by the Manufacturer and/or his
authorised representative to carry out interventions
on the machines or equipment installed in the line, in
which precise technical expertise and special skills
are required.
- The elds of specialisation may vary according to the
areas of intervention.
- In addition to having specic skills in the eld of
intervention, the technician must be able to read
and understand the relevant diagrams (electrical,
electronic, etc.) to immediately and correctly
recognise the different characteristics and functions
of the devices.
-Reasonably foreseeable misuse: use of the
machine in a manner other than that indicated in the
instructions for use, but which may result from easily
foreseeable human behaviour.
-Intended use: The use of the system in accordance
with the information provided in the instructions for
use.
-Hazardous area: any area within and/or near the
system where the presence of an exposed person
constitutes a risk to the safety and health of that
person.

GENERAL INFORMATIONELECTROFOG
1.3 WARRANTY
The machine is covered by warranty as indicated in the
general terms and conditions of sale.
If, during the warranty period, defective operations or
faults of machine parts occur (which fall under the cases
indicated by the warranty), the Manufacturer, after the
appropriate checks on the machine, will repair or replace
the defective parts.
ATTENTION
Modications carried out by the user, without the
explicit written authorisation of the Manufacturer,
void the warranty and exempt the Manufacturer
of any liability for damage caused by defective
product; in addition, the conformity of the machine
with the European Directives and any form of
guarantee automatically lapses.
This applies, in particular, when the above-mentioned
modications are carried out on the safety devices,
lowering their effectiveness.
The same considerations apply when using non-original
spare parts or parts other than those explicitly indicated
by the Manufacturer as “SAFETY DEVICES”, either in
this manual or in the spare parts manual.
Consequently, we recommend that our customers
always consult our Technical Support Service.

2. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
2.1 OVERVIEW
Machine designation
The Electrofog (models EWV8 and EWV10), hereinafter
referred to as “Machine”, is intended exclusively for use
in combination with XEDA products for the treatment of
fruit and vegetables in cold storage, silos or disinfection
of premises.
The machine uses the combined effect of a high-speed
airow and high temperature to generate particles
measuring one thousandth of a millimetre. This creates
a very ne mist that conveys both synthetic and natural
anti-oxidant, anti-fungal and anti-sprouting protective
products. This mist remains stable for a long time
after application and circulates inside the storage cell
penetrating the bins and protecting even the innermost
fruit.
The machine basically consists of the following elements:
