The instructions and especially the safety information must be read care-

fully prior to assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance.

All plants and components must be installed in accordance with the applicable

accident prevention rules.

The machine must be shielded correctly in relation to the current Machinery Directive

and as such making it impossible to get in touch with moving parts. The shields may

only be removed by using tools. All shields must be ﬁtted before the machine is put

into operation.

The motor must be properly protected through overload equipment, and the Grain

Pump must be properly ﬁtted with a suitable potential equalization.

For any repair or maintenance, disconnet the power source from the drive motors, and

the safety switch must be locked in the o position.

When the Grain Pump is running, do not put your hands or your ﬁngers into the drive

device or elsewhere.

There must always be shielding of in- and outlet, and there is a required mesh size of

up to 120mm, with a safety distance of min. 850mm.

This must be observed in relation to DS/EN ISO 13857.

Shields such as shaft shields and cover of backstop unit for prevention or elimination

of risks must be maintained on a regular basis.

The machine must be installed in a way that provides good ergonomic conditions for

service on the machine.

The safety equipment that has been removed during repair, cleaning or maintenance,

must be re-established before the plant is put back into service.

All screws, bolts and attachments must be properly tightened.

If the machine is stuck/clogged, the transmission might be overheated.

The Grain Pump must only be put into operation when it is assured that it is not

defective and that there are no people in the machine or silos. The user is obliged to

only operating the plant when it is in perfect condition.

77

SØBY is not liable for damages arising from abuse or technical modiﬁcations of the

plant and breach of the instructions given in this user guide.

Ensure that all electrical parts comply with the EMC-Directive.

The Grain Pumpe type SG is constructed in accordance with the 2014/34/EU Direc-

tive (ATEX), and can be used for transportation of the materials listed in this manual.

If the Grain Pump is used for transportation of types of materials, which have chara-

cteristics that cause the material when blending into air immediately can cause an

explosion if ignited, attention should be drawn to the fact that such materials mus t not

contain foreign objects such as steel or stone, which during transportation through

the Grain Pump may cause mechanical sparks, with the risk of ignition of the explosive

atmosphere inside the Grain Pump. This could damage the Grain Pump and in worst

case harm human beings, animals and property.

If the Grain Pump is used for transportation of the above combination of explosive

material and foreign objects, SØBY cannot guarantee the safety of the Grain Pump in

relation to explosion.

If the Grain Pump is placed in areas classiﬁed as potentially explosive, specially

approved motor and gearbox must be used for the zone in question. If you have any

questions, please contact SØBY for further information. It must be ensured that the

ambient temperature in the area, where the equipment is installed remains within the

permitted limit values of the equipment -20°C ≤ TA ≤ 40°. Therefore, when installing

the unit, it is necessary to consider any external heat sources that may aect the

ambient temperature in the area where the equipment is installed.

During any work with the Grain Pump there must be sucient work lighting.

Respiratory masks, safety shoes, hearing protection and other required safety

precautions that may be required by the local workplace assessment should be used

during any work with the machine, where the Grain Pump is installed.

Furthermore, a helmet must be used during installation, service and assembly/

disassembly.

When assembling the machine, heavy lifting might occur. Persons setting up the

machine must read the assembly/user manual ﬁrst. Suitable lifting equipment must be

used in connection with installation and assembly.

Gloves must be used while handling the machine as there is a risk of sharp edges.

The equipment must not be exposed to larger dust loads (dust layer) than permitted in

EN60079-14.

88

Inappropriate empty running should be avoided.

Personnel not instructed properly must not operate the machine.

The electrical connection to the supplied machines may only be carried out by

specially trained personnel.

99

Use of the machine

The Grain Pump is designed for transport of grain and almost all crops within

agriculture (see material speciﬁcations in general references). Transport with materials

beyond the above must not be used for this machine. The Grain Pump is designed as

a closed pipe system.

The machine is driven by an electrical motor combined with a helical bevel gear.

The collection point of the Grain Pump is located in the bottom horizontal tube with an

inlet, where the grain comes in. The Grain Pump can replace up to several traditional

machines, which in many cases simpliﬁes and saves in design, assembly, installation,

electrical control, energy consumption, operation and maintenance.

As an option, dierent end outlets and rotation sensor for monitoring chain break

failure can be ordered.

Platforms can be provided to facilitate access to service at the top of the Grain Pump.

If the grain can run uncontrollably to the Grain Pump, install a shutter between the

Grain Pump and the inlet funnel .

The Grain Pump is usually ﬁtted with a conveyor or tip box, and with up to several

discharge points. It is ideal for ﬁlling and emptying of ﬂat storage buildings and silos,

and can move grain and other agricultural crops between silos.

When the Grain Pump is in operation it may be possible to get in physical contact with

moving parts if the shields are incorrectly installed.

The complete installation must be observed in accordance with the applicable

regulations in this manual and in accordance with the applicable Machine Directive

2006/42/EC.

The Grain Pump may not be used for tasks beyond the scope of this manual.

When designing a SØBY Grain Pump, there are a number of things to be considered.

1. Silo size and number of silos.

2. Distance between the silos.

3. Clearance height above the silos.

4. Should you re-circulate crops between siloes and over which distance.

5. Should it be possible to extend the Grain Pump in the future.

(i.e. purchase of an extra silo)

6. Total length of the Grain Pump.

7. Total height of the Grain Pump.

8. Transport direction.

9. How should the Grain Pump be fed.

10. How many intermediate outlets are required.

11. How many silo outlets are required.

1111

Calculation of motor size (kW):

The measurements A, B, C, D and E can be seen on the drawing on previous page.

1. Determine the total height (A) of the Grain Pump. (Usually it is the total height of the

silo +1,2 m to intermediate outlet + possible clearance height under intermediate

outlet.

2. Total height (A) x the vertical kW factor shown in the table below. (Example 14,50

m x 0,85 kW = 12,32 kW) This is the kW consumption for the vertical conveying

length.

3. Determine upper(B) and lower (C) or (D) horizontal conveying length. (The length

with grain, in the horizontal tubes) (In this case (D) has been chosen)

4. (B) + (D) x the kW factor (0,19 kW) in the table below. (Example (25 + 13,5) m x 0,19

kW = 7,31 kW) This is the consumption for the horizontal conveying length.

5. Add the vertical (A) kW consumption and the horizontal kW consumption (B) + (D) .

(Example 12,32 kW + 7,31 kW = 19,63 kW)

This is the total kW consumption for this Grain Pump system, chose next size of motor.

In this case 1 pcs. 22kW

Calculation table for gear motor size:

Vertical conveying length: A x 0,85 kW = kW

Upper horizontal conveying length: B x 0,19 kW = kW

Lower horizontal conveying length: C or D x 0,19 kW = kW

Total kW consumption: = kW
