2. INSTALLATION
Installation Process
For best results, it is strongly recommended that installation be supervised by regionally based factory service personnel of Fergesen Systems LLC. Our installation personnel assist with machine start-up and testing, as well as providing in-plant instruction of operators and maintenance personnel. Estimated duration is approximately one day plus travel time. This service can be billed via the fixed price option below if 4 weeks notice can be arranged. Additional travel fees may be assessed for last-minute installation requests. Warranty will be affected if authorized services are not utilized for installation.
The installation technician will do the following:
- Supervise the placement of the equipment and make recommendations concerning production process and material handling around the coating unit
- Verify proper electrical hook-up is made
- Verify proper hot air venting is in place
- Review all safety guidelines
- Train up to 4 personnel on the setup, cleanup, and general operation
- Train the appropriate personnel on the maintenance steps
Plant preparations which are the customer's responsibility:
- Placement of the unit in close proximity to where it will be installed
- Supply of electrical to roller coater location as specified above. It is highly recommended that a wall cut-off switch and flexible conduit to the unit be provided
- Ventilating the outlet of the blower to outside the plant
- Provide personnel to assist in equipment uncrate, setting and to be trained
Safety
Your UV curing system has been designed to encapsulate and direct the major amount of reflected ultraviolet irradiation interfering with production operation. Short-wave ultraviolet light can cause severe sunburn and temporary blindness. NEVER look into the lamp openings while the system is in operation! If you must be within one and a half feet of reflected UV light, use special UV glasses for proper eye protection and cover all exposed areas of skin. Mercury vapor UV arc lamps produce minute quantities of ozone. Heavy ozone concentrations will cause headaches, but the effects are not cumulative and can be avoided entirely with proper ventilation. Your UV curing system has been supplied with a blower which keeps the lamp at a required temperature level and removes the ozone. Heat and ozone are drawn from around the lamp and exhausted through the blower. If the lamp is overcooled, it will not produce sufficient UV energy; if there is too little cooling, the lamp(s) endcaps seals and connectors will fail. To minimize this, keep the flexible exhaust tubing between lamp and blower as short and straight as possible. Air exiting from the blower should be channeled straight upwards and released at least 4 meters (13 feet,) above the floor. The hot air and ozone will continue to rise and the ozone will dissipate quickly. You should always provide a booster blower at the point of exit, if the exhaust will be vented to the outside, or if the length of tubing exceeds 4 meters (13 feet) in length.
