3. Functional description
This functional description is intended for the operating
personnel of the equipment.
Prerequisite for this functional description is general
knowledge of conveyor systems operation.
Ensure in each case that the operating personnel are
sufficiently informed.
Functional description 21
ZKW
3.1. General information
The ZKW has 2 elbows (virgin material intake port, regrind intake port) and an
outlet pipe socket leading to the conveyor unit.
With the ZKW it is possible to convey two components to a hopper loader.
The ZKW works in dependence on the conveying cycles of the conveyor unit. It
is only in operation when material is conveyed.
The ZKW is available in 2 versions:
1
Version
Operation on ZKW
ZKW for connection to a single conveyor unit F 40/CKF 40-2/CSK 2-V/CEF 50
or CEF 65 or to a conveying control SG5/SG10/CS-PF/CS-VF or SPS (PLC).

Functional description 22
ZKW
3.2. Control
3.2.1. ZKW Version 1
The control unit is installed at the housing of the ZKW.
The conveying ratio as well as the switching cycles are set by means of the keys
on the front side of the control system.
Percentage key
Arrow key
Display
Functional description 23
ZKW
3.2.1.1. Conveying ratio
The conveying ratio between component 1 (= regrind) and component 2 (= virgin
material) can be freely selected.
The control setting refers to the conveying time of component 1 (= regrind).
The conveying time of component 1 can be set from 0 to 99 % of total conveying
time.
Example
Proportioning valve setting: 22 %
Conveying ratio: 22 % component 1 and 78 % component 2
&
Functional description 24
ZKW
3.2.1.2. Switching cycles
During each switching cycle, the ZKW switches back and forth one time. The
pre-set conveying ratio is not affected by this. In order to prevent strong formation
of layers in the conveyed material, the number of switching cycles per conveying
procedure can be freely selected. Setting takes place by entry of one cycle
period. The cycle period can be set between 5 and 50 seconds. The setting is
carried out in five seconds.
&
Example
Conveying time: 90 seconds, cycle period = 15 seconds
Calculation of switching cycles:
conveying time
= switching cycles
cycle period
90 s
= 6 switching cycles
15 s
Functional description 25
ZKW
3.2.2. ZKW Version 2
On the ZKW housing, a terminal box is installed (optional: terminal box with 3
light-emitting diodes = LEDs for limit position monitoring).
&
The conveying ratio and the switching cycles are entered into the control system
of the conveying control.
Observe the operating manual of the conveying control.

4. Start-up
This chapter is intended for operating personnel.
Prerequisite for this chapter is general knowledge of the
operation of conveying units.
Also prerequisite for this chapter is that the functional
description has been read and understood.

4.1. Adjusting the conveying ratio
Adjust the conveying ratio according to your specific requirements.
ZKW Version 1
By means of the arrow key, set the percentage of
component 1 (= regrind).
Example
Desired conveying ratio: 40 % regrind and 60 % raw material.
Press the arrow key until 40" appears on the display.
ZKW Version 2
Set the percentage of component 1 (= regrind) by means of the control system
of the conveying control.
Observe the operating manual of the conveying control.
Start-up 28

4.2. Determining the switching cycle duration
Measure the conveying time of the respective hopper.
Take out the table.
Look for the value in the column conveying time.
Select a number of switching cycles.
Press the percentage key.
By means of the arrow key, select the desired switching cycle.
Carry through one conveying procedure.
If you are not satisfied with the result, check the setting and correct, if necessary.
Example
Conveying time: 50 s
Conveying ratio: 40 % regrind, 60 % virgin material

5. Maintenance
This chapter is intended for persons with skills in electrical
and mechanical areas due to their training, experience
and received instructions.
Personnel using the instructions in this chapter must be
instructed of the regulations for the prevention of
accidents, the operating conditions and safety regulations
and their implementation.
Ensure in each case that the personnel are informed
accordingly.
For maintenance work taking place at heights of over
approx. 6 feet, use only ladders or similar equipment and
working platforms intended for this purpose. At greater
heights, the proper equipment for protection against falling
must be worn.
Use only suitable lifting gear which is in proper working
order and load suspension devices with sufficient carrying
capacity. Do not stand or work under suspended loads!
Ensure that the electric motors/switch cabinets are
sufficiently protected against moisture.
Use only suitable workshop equipment.
Before starting maintenance work, appoint a supervisor.
Inform the responsible personnel before maintenance
work on the system is started.
Never operate the equipment when partially dismantled.
All maintenance and repair work not described in this
chapter may only be carried out by Colortronic service
personnel or authorized personnel (appointed by
Colortronic).
