7 Startup Checklist
7-1 Introduction
After all electrical and mechanical machine elements have been
inspected and any defects corrected, the machine can be put
into production once the start-up checklist has been referred to.
7-2 Fan Evacuation
Cumberland granulators can be supplied with an optional fan
system to provide efficient, continuous evacuation of granulate
from the machine. Cumberland offers a large variety of fan
configurations. The following information is intended to be
representative of the basic functioning and design of a fan,
rather than being specific to one particular configuration.
Please follow the instructions listed below for optimal fan
operation, if your unit is equipped with this option.
