8-3 Final Machine Stops
When shutting the machine down, allow all material to
drop into the bin or pass through the fan and into the
cyclonic air separator (optional) before pressing the
granulator stop pushbutton.
8-4 Emergency Stops
Feedstock must be cleaned out of the hopper and cutting
chamber prior to restarting the machine.
NOTE: The Cumberland 40 Series granulators are not designed for small
purging, chunks of solid plastic or other heavy wall cross-
sectional pieces.
NOTE: When the granulator is being stopped, a movement sensor is
fitted which senses when rotation of the rotor has ceased.
Approx. 10 secs. after movement has ceased, an indicator lamp
on the operator station will illuminate and the key located in the
Fortress Interlock can be withdrawn and used to unlock the
spring loaded interlock bolt locking the front doors.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE FRONT DOORS
UNLESS THE SPRING LOADED BOLT ASSEMBLY HAS
BEEN UNDONE.
