Our trained installers would be gald to assist you
with these tasks.
3.1 Transport and preparing for

assembly
This unit has a protective film on it to protect it
during transport and installation.
Remove all protective film before operating the unit for the first time.
3.2 Requirements for installation

are
Only Wittmann service technicians, or qualified

personnel authorized by Wittmann, may set up and
assign the electrical connections.
Danger! High Voltage!
You must equip the unit with a main fuse
that will interrupt the power supply to the
unit.
For safety reasons, the ground wire connection
should be checked especially.
Install the power supply a safe distance away from
hot parts.
Lay all cords for the unit such that other
electrical devices cannot cause any disruptions. Be especially sure to separate control lines and data transmission cords from
power cords.
For three-phase units check the direction
of rotation. The unit uses a right hand field
of rotation.
The entire unit will have to be specially grounded if
you work with materials that cause strong electrostatic discharges as they are conveyed.
Cut all power to the unit before performing
any work on it. This is the most effective
way to prevent electrical accidents.
Check all electrical connections and
threaded connections regularly to ensure
they are tight.
Run the unit ONLY in closed, dry spaces.

Pay special attention to the load rating of
the installation area, especially if the unit is
being installed on a platform.
The floors around the machine (in the
building) must not present a stumbling
hazard; the must be level easy to clean,
non-slip surfaces.
Make sure that all parts of the unit remain
easily accessible for maintenance and repair work.
The temperature at the installation area should be
above +5C, but may not exceed a maximum
temperature of 40C. Remember that the unit will
emid additional location. Other temperature limits
apply only to special models equipped with an airconditioned switch cabinet.

3.4 Installation of a loader

FEEDMAX
Install the loader in the conveying location (drying
silo, dosing device, injection moulding machine,
etc.) using the bolts provided for this purpose. A
machine funnel is generally required on an injection moulding machine as adapter and material
buffer.
Install the supplied gaskets. These prevent
dust escaping from the machine.
Check the stability of the device on which
the loader is to be mounted!
Install the FEEDMAX loader vertically (+/3 Grad)!
The course of the conveying line (length of the line,
height to be overcome, number of bends) has an
effect on the conveying capacity of the machine.
Narrow bends in the conveying line increase wear
in the conveying line and reduce the conveying
capacity.
Avoid narrow radii in the conveying line!
Electrostatic discharges on devices and conveying
lines can occur during conveying. The FEEDMAX
loaders must be earth-connected on the device
flange while the material line must be earthconnected with the metal braiding to the suction
socket of the loader.
Ground

the
3.5 Blower station installation

The blower station generates the vacuum for the
loader. With central loading plants this is the joint
vacuum pump.
Ensure that the blower station has a firm base. Bolt
the blower station to the hall floor if required!
Install the blower station so that it is easily accessible for filter cleaning (optional) and maintenance.
Connect the vacuum socket of the FEEDMAX
loader with the vacuum socket of the blower station. Central loading plants use a joint vacuum
system.
Check the vacuum line for leaks!
Supply the blower station with compressed air
(optional).
Use oil- and water-free compressed air
with a pressure of 0,4 - 0,6 MPa (4-6
bar)! (according DIN ISO 8573.1)

4.1.1 Configuration eMax
4 Description
This description is written for the person who will
be using the unit (user). This description assumes
you are generally familiar with loaders, dry air
dryers and vacuum pumps. Make sure that all
users have appropriate knowledge and skills.
4.1 Central loading plant

The central loading plant usually consists of a
blower station with central filter and the loaders
FEEDMAX. The loaders FEEDMAX are interconnected by a way of a common data bus. Only one
loader FEEDMAX can be active and convey material at a time.
The vacuum pump generates the vacuum which
sucks in the plastic granulate and transports it
through the conveying line into the loader. Once
the conveying vessel has been charged the granulate is discharged by way of the discharge bell.
The conveying process is time-controlled but can
be optionally optimized through a level probe in the
conveying vessel. The process is cyclically repeated until the demand probe is cover with plastic
granulate in the filled vessel. Once the material
level drops the demand probe and the conveying
process is restarted.
The Wittmann eMax allows for control of up to

24 FEEDMAX loaders on a single vacuum system.
The control is connected directly to the devices. If
one vacuum line is configured (one blower station,
one spare pump) then 24 FEEDMAX loaders or
12 DPV-FEEDMAX loaders can be connected to
the control. If two vacuum lines are configured (two
blower stations) the 22 FEEDMAX loaders or
11 DPV-FEEDMAX loaders can be connected.
Options supported by the control are a spare
pump, purge valve, level sensor and FEEDMAX
DPV-valve. The hardware of the controller is not
expandable.
In order to use the full capacity of the controller
you will need to install your devices with a Y-cable
for connecting two pieces of equipment to one dsub connection.

6.2 Troubleshooting
Error description
Possible reason
Error correction
Loader with level sensor is

not conveying material
Adjustment of level sensor is

too sensitive
Adjust sensitivity of level sensor
6.2.1 Adjusting the level sensor

The level or demand sensor is attached to the
loader body if level, or the loader base if demand.
When the sensor LED lights up it indicates material
is present.
To adjust the sensitivity, follow the below instruction:

1. Make sure that the demand sensor is not
covered with material.
2. Open the cover (A) on the demand sensor.
3. Increase the sensitivity of the sensor (+)
until the LED lights up (turn clockwise).
4. Reduce the sensitivity of the sensor (-) until the LED turns off (counterclockwise).
5. Reduce the sensitivity of the sensor (-) and
additional 1/2 turn.
Use a suitably sized flat head screw driver to
make this adjustment!
