1. General Description

Read this manual before installation and using of the machine to prevent
personal injuries and damage of the machine.
SVM-U is mainly used for mixing plastics as raw materials, masterbatch and
recycled materials. SVM-U can not be used dealing with plastic powder and all
kinds of foods, chemicals, and inflammable, explosive and volatile materials. Bulk
density should be taken into account when the dimension of material is uneven or
in other forms.

2. Structure Characteristics and Working Principle
To achieve the aim of mixing material, screw blades are used to generate vortex.
Materials are sucked towards mixing screws at the center of hopper bottom by
vortex, then materials whirl upward to the top and fall down so that the evenly
mixing can be fulfilled in a short period.

2.1 Working Principle

Picture 2-1：SVM-750U Working Principle Illustration

Signals from the control cabinet will be sent to blending motor which drives the
blending screw to start material blending. Then material conveyed along the
cylinder up to the top is evenly spread in the blending barrel. This process mixes
material evenly in a short time, saving energy. After blending, draw open the
shut-off plate to discharge the material.

3. Installation and Debugging
Before installation, read this chapter carefully. Install the machine according to
following steps！

Power supply of the mixer should be connected by qualified electricians！

3.1 Install the Machine on a Water-level Floor

Picture 3-1：Install the Machine on a Water-level Floor

Vertical batch mixer should be placed on a water-level floor with castors locked,
ensuring the machine well-balanced and no vibration.

3.2 Installation Space

Keep at least 500mm space around the machine when installing it. As the
following figure shows: Do not install the machine in a narrow space, because this
will make it uneasy to repair or maintenance. Do not sit on the top of the machine
or place any inflammable objects around the machine.

 Picture 3-2：Installation Space

3.3 Installation of Motor

Do not enforce any force on the output parts of decelerate motor or case. Pleases
meet the machine and gear motor's respective requirement for concentricity or
verticality.

3.4 Installation of Blending Vanes

Pleases meet the blending screw and gear motor's respective requirement for
concentricity or verticality when install the machine.

3.5 Power Connection

Connect the control box of the vertical batch mixer to power line and earth wire as
indicated by the nameplate. Usually adopts 3Ф400V power supply and it can be
also made on customer's special demand.

Check the motor's running direction after connects to power，if it is running

reversely，please cut off the power and transpose any two lines of the three lines
from the main power.(warning: reverse running is not allowed when the machine
is in operation otherwise it will cause obstruction and lead to motor damage)
