1 Foreword
The Mixed material silo machine forms part of an asphalt mixing plant.

All Ammann asphalt mixing plants are designed and manufactured individually,
according to the customers' wishes and demands. That is why every plant has a
different structure and configuration. This applies also for positioning and structure
of the machine.

The following notes serve as a guideline and will help you, whether you are owner
or operator of an asphalt mixing plant, to take your responsibility to avert damage
and the costs caused by the damage even prior to start-up of the machine.

After the approval procedure necessary for installation and operation the plant is
installed and the staff is instructed. During this phase Ammann advises and sup-
ports the customer.

During construction, the plant operators have to familiarise themselves with the
plant and this machine. This will be realised in close co-operation with the Ammann
site supervisor.

It includes the erection and installation of the units and devices, the placing of the
supply mains as well as the electric and control wiring (including protection,
grounding etc.). Safety equipment and dangers have to be considered as well.

It has to be ensured that people can walk safely on the plant, and that all handles,
handrails, barriers with safety switches etc. are installed.

It has to be checked if the emergency and breakdown cutout facilities are accessi-
ble and function correctly.

It has to be checked if all information boards and prohibition signs are available.

Inform the site supervisor or another representant of Ammann about maintenance

works and plant components to be maintained.

After having taken over the plant or a plant component the plant operator/customer
must be familiar with the procedure, and the safety equipment and switches.

Besides the requirements mentioned in this instruction manual the conditions of the
operating license, the environmental regulations (German TA Luft (technical
instruction air), WHG (water resources act WRA) as well as the general rules for
accident prevention have to be observed.

2.1 Introduction to the Operating Instructions

These Operating Instructions contain information and procedural guidelines essen-

tial for safe operation of the Mixed material silo machine. The Operating Instruc-
tions must therefore be made available to personnel entrusted with any form of
work on the machine.

These Operating Instructions should be used in conjunction with the Operating

Instructions for the overall asphalt mixing plant.

NOTE
As the customer you should read these Operating Instructions before you start
working with the machine!

Operating personnel must be familiarised with these Operating Instructions before

they start working with the machine.

These Operating Instructions are intended to simplify the process of understanding

the machine and making use of the applications it is designed for.

The Operating Instructions contain important information for the safe, correct and
economical operation of the machine. Compliance with these Operating Instruc-
tions helps to prevent accidents, reduce repair costs and downtime and increase
the reliability and service life of the plant.

NOTE
You must also comply with the locally applicable rules and regulations for the pre-
vention of accidents!

These Operating Instructions should be read in conjunction with the requirements

specified under current national regulations on prevention of accidents and protec-
tion of the environment.

The Operating Instructions must always be available on site and must be read and
complied with by all those assigned with operating the plant.

General instructions and key to symbols
Modifications

Operating the plant shall be taken to refer to the following:

operating the plant, setting up the plant, rectifying faults during operation, removing
production waste, upkeep, disposal of process materials, service, maintenance,
inspection, repairs and transportation

2.2 Modifications

NOT PERMITTED
No modifications, additions or conversions to the machine are permitted if they
compromise safety!

This also applies for the installation and adjustment of safety devices and for weld-
ing onto load-bearing structures.

Modifications are not permitted to the electric control system either if they affect the
safety of the machine!

If modifications which affect safety are performed without consulting the supplier,
this will invalidate the Declaration of Conformity with regard to the Machinery Direc-
tive or the Manufacturer’s Declaration. Ammann cannot be held liable for damage
and accidents resulting from such modifications.

3 Use and product description

3.1 Intended use

The Mixed material silo machine is exclusively designed for warm storage,
storage and filling of bituminous mixed material.
Any other use or use over and above this is considered improper use. The
manufacturer/supplier cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
improper use. The user bears sole risk.
The Mixed material silomachine may only be operated in conjunction with an
asphalt mixing plant!

The machine is designed in accordance with the state-of-the-art and recognised

safety regulations. Improper use, however, can cause risk to life and limb.

NOTE
Only operate the machine when it is in perfect technical condition!
Immediately rectify faults which might compromise safety!
Do not use defective components!

Compliance with the intended use also requires abiding by the Operating Instruc-
tions and adherence to the terms of service and maintenance.

The following materials are admissible as constituents of the mixture:

• Hot aggregate
• Bitumen
• Other admissible binding agents
• Filler
• Fibre granulate
• RA
• Dyes

Other additives can be added if specified in the order confirmation and if the rele-
vant feed facilities allow.

NOTE
National regulations must be complied with for handling the materials.

AZ-66323 11
Instruction Manual Mixed material silo
Use and product description
Improper use

A distinction is made between sub-silos and adjacent silos.

Sub-silos are located directly under the mixing tower. In this case, the silo is fed
using a mobile skip depending on the silo size.

Adjacent mixed material silos are located beside the mixing tower. The silo is fed
using skips, which are moved on diagonal skip tracks by means of hydraulic wire
rope winches.

In the following the Instruction Manual for UNIVERSAL Mixed Material Silo refers
to the sub-silo construction as adjacent mixed material silos are purchased from
other companies.

3.2 Improper use

CAUTION
Any use which does not come under the intended use is considered improp-
er use and is therefore prohibited!
Ö Do not make any modifications to the machine!

CAUTION DANGER OF FIRE!

Risk of fire
Combustible materials such as wood, plastics, etc. and combustible liquids such
as petrol, oil, etc. and aerosols must not be added!
Ö Do not add any combustible materials into the mixing process unless they are
specified as part of the formula and are added using a specially designed feed.

CAUTION DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Risk of explosion!
When processing dry, fine-grained or dust-like material, there can be dust accumu-
lations and dust explosions.
Ö Only process fine-grained or dust-form material in the relevant components.

12 AZ-66323
 NO PERSONS ALLOWED
The mixer tower hoisting and conveying systems must not be used for trans-
porting people!
Using the hoisting and conveying systems to transport people can result in injury.
Ö Do not use the hoisting and conveying systems (e.g. elevator and conveyor
belts) for transporting people!

6.1 Assembly

The customer is responsible for ensuring that experienced, specialist personnel

are in charge of the assembly work.

The customer must appoint someone to be responsible for assembly.

This coordinator is responsible for ensuring correct performance of the assembly

and for safety on the construction site.

The customer and coordinator are responsible for ensuring that assembly is only
performed by specialist personnel or is managed by specialist personnel.

Ammann recommends that Ammann specialist personnel should in principle per-

form assembly of the machine or that a foreman provided by Ammann should be
in charge of assembly.

Before starting assembly, the foundations have to be levelled and the dimensions
and position of the foundations have to be checked against the foundation plan.
The overall delivery should be inspected to ensure that there is no damage and that
it is complete and the correct model has been supplied.

The installation and attachment of all the components must be performed exclu-
sively in accordance with Ammann blueprints.

The Mixed material silo machine comes in the following pre-assembled sub-
assemblies:
• Inlet part, including silo roof, trail track, and skip or hopper
• Option: Intermediate part
• Outlet part, including outlet flaps
• Supports

7 Operation

7.1 Information for the customer

The machine must only be operated when in perfect condition.

Make sure that only trained personnel who have received instruction operate the
machine.

Make sure there are information signs prohibiting unauthorised personnel from
entering the work-site.

We recommend a barrier around the work-site.

Because only few employees work on an asphalt mixing plant, each workplace is
considered as a separate workplace.

Make sure that the operating personnel have access to a wireless voice-communi-
cation system, because eye contact is not always possible between those working
on the mixing plant.

Make sure that this voice-communication system is free of technical defects and is
suitable for use in an asphalt mixing plant.

Ammann recommends that the voice-communication system should be installed

by a specialist.

Ammann supplies the machine without lighting.

Make sure there is sufficient lighting if the machine is to be operated at night or in

poor visibility.

Ammann can provide lighting for the machine on request, but this must be ordered
separately.

Make sure there is written stipulation of the registration system for sub-contractors
and self-collection customers.

Make sure there are safe zones designated for drivers and co-drivers of vehicles
to stop in.

Lay down regulations for unloading and loading vehicles.

Make sure drivers and co-drivers receive training on the possible dangers linked
with the machine.

AZ-66323 45
Instruction Manual Mixed material silo

48 AZ-66323
7.4 Method of operation

7.4.1 Mobile skip

Hot mixed material falls from the mixer as single charge into the mobile skip.

The mobile skip is driven to positions above the compartment by winches or elec-
trical drives. The positions are preset at the plant operation.

If the inlets of the mixed material silo are equipped with covers, these will be
opened pneumatically.

The plant operation opens the flap of the mobile skip and the mixed material falls
into the according compartment.

The mobile skip drives on fixed rail tracks. The drive is operated with 2 rope winch-
es at the ends of the rail track or with an electric motor at the mobile skip. Corre-
sponding to the drive, the flap is operated with a third rope winch or a pneumatic
cylinder.

If the mixed material silo has compartments in both directions, longside the mixing
tower and across, the mobile skip will be operated with to electric motors in both
directions.

7.4.2 Hopper

The mixed material silo is loaded by using a pneumatically movable hopper.

For reasons of the operating principle, no shut-off devices are needed for this type
of loading.

As an option, the movable hopper can be completely enclosed.

This option enables to load the mixed material silo without exhausting dust or
steam.

7.4.3 Storage

The mixed material is stored in compartments.

Using baffle plates installed as standard avoids segregation during charging the
silo compartments.

Capacitive rod probes are used to monitor the maximum level in all compartments.

AZ-66323 49
Instruction Manual Mixed material silo
Operation
Method of operation

The mixed material silo outer wall is completely insulated in order to reduce tem-
perature loss.

Beside the large storage compartments all mixed material silos have a small cham-
ber situated below the mixer.

This compartment is named Direct Loading, because of it’s use for the direct load-
ing of mixed material into transport vehicles.

With the direct loading, beside the loading of mastic asphalt, is the loading of trans-
port vehicles ensured, even if all other compartments er filled.

Also the mixed material plant under the mixing tower has an integrated over grain
collection compartment.

The mixed material silo is rated for a specific weight of the mixed material of 1.8 t/
m³ and an angle of repose of 27°, minimum.

It is recommended to store the mixed material at a temperature of approximately

160°C. Higher mixed material temperatures would result in coking of the mixed
material.

Using different compartments in the mixed material silo enables the production of
several types of mixed material, which are required simultaneously, in economical
charge sizes.

Intermediate storage or direct loading on the according transport vehicles is possi-

ble.

50 AZ-66323
7.4.4 Loading out

Loading out is carried out using the outlet flap parts.

The individual compartments and direct loading systems as well as the overflow
grain container are closed using flaps and flat sliders, respectively.

All closing devices are operated pneumatically.

All closures have an electrical heating except for the overflow flat slider.

The widths of the outlets are listed in chapter „Technical data“ pp. 29.

A load-out sub-silo can also be directly loaded from the lorry using the according
silo compartment. If loading is carried out in this way the mixed material is put into
the skip and then directly filled into the direct loading compartment without chang-
ing the position.

From there, the mixed material is discharged to load the lorry charge by charge.

their behaviour and work under the load-out silo must comply with the safety
instructions! The plant operator and the lorry driver must hold eye contact!

NOTE
If the lorry driver operates the silo load-out flaps manually it is not possible to inter-
vene from the control cabin, except when performing an emergency stop!

7.5 Daily start-up

The operating personnel must check the safety devices before starting up each
day.

There must be no fault message before the daily start-up.

This applies in particular after a fault has been reported and the machine has con-
sequently been switched off.

Remove hardened material from the machine components before start-up.

This applies in particular after extended stoppage and in the event of frost.

Use an explosion-protected dust collector for the removal of dust.

Comply with the instructions regarding daily start-up in the Operating Instructions
for the sub-assemblies and the Operating Instructions for sub-contractors.

Before start-up the Plant Manager must ensure the following:

• There must be no unauthorised personnel in the plant’s safety zone!
• Where the safety of any procedure is uncertain, it must be refrained from!
• The plant must be in safe and fully-functioning condition!

Daily start-up

• Protective devices such as: detachable covers, safety hoods, emergency-stop

facilities, sound insulation and extraction facilities are present, properly assem-
bled and fully-functioning condition!

To ensure that employees are not placed in danger, the operating personnel must
make sure of the following before starting up the plant:
• All inspection and maintenance flaps must be closed!
• All locks on inspection and maintenance flaps must be closed!

To ensure trouble-free start-up, the operating personnel must check the following:
• The hot aggregate bins must be empty.
To check this, randomly touch the seal flaps before loading to determine wheth-
er the hot aggregate bins are empty. The aggregate may no longer be at the re-
quired temperature after extended storage. This aggregate must be removed
before starting mixing.
• The pre-feeders must be filled in accordance with the formula.
• The metering device silos must be full.
Top up if required.
• Binding agent / bitumen must be available in sufficient quantity and must be at
the right temperature.

The Plant Manager is responsible for the following aspects:

• Work must only be performed on the pneumatic system once the pressure has
been fully released.
• The tightness of fittings and leads must be checked during operation.
Leakages must be immediately reported to the works management.

62 AZ-66323
 • All hose lines must be replaced at the set times or at appropriate intervals, even
if no faults are evident.
• All leads, tubing and bolts must be checked regularly for tightness and visible
damage.
Damage must be rectified immediately. Otherwise there is the risk of injury!

The maintenance personnel are responsible for the following aspects:

• Pressure must be released from the system sections and pressure pipes of sub-
assemblies on which repair work is to be performed and they must be secured
against restart using a padlock before work commences.
• Condensation accruing in the leads must be bled on a regular basis.
• Pneumatic pipes must be expertly laid and assembled.
Do not confuse the connections!
The fittings and length and quality of the hose lines must comply with the
requirements.
• Regular manual lubrication is required for pneumatic consumers which are not
lubricated via a maintenance unit.
• When topping up with oil, the surrounding area must be pre-cleaned and pre-
cautions taken to prevent impurities getting in.
• When regreasing, use grease reasonably sparingly.
A thin film of grease is completely sufficient.
• With the cylinders it is important that the grease silos of the double drip sleeves
are also filled with grease.
• In principle pneumatic devices must be removed in low-dust areas.

WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion!
Mixing different oil types can lead to increased friction.
Ö Do not mix different oil types!

Maintenance unit

The maintenance units ensure uniform oiling and filtering of the compressed air.

Measures to be taken in the winter

We recommend cleaning and regreasing all mobile cylinder mountings at least

once a year.
In the event of ambient temperatures of over 120°C use high temperature grease
(lubricant “A”).

8.8 Measures to be taken in the winter

NOTE
Low temperatures and in particular temperatures below freezing can have an
adverse effect on plant operation.

Empty pipes and tubes before shut-down in the winter to prevent damage and sim-
plify re-start.

Set the burner to the lowest setting. This means that the pilot flame stays on, but
the rotary vane feeders do not transport any more material.

Empty the entire Mixed material silo before extended stoppages in the winter. This
prevents damage and simplifies re-start. Allow the Mixed material silo to continue
to run until the silo and the pipes are empty.

10 Disposal
If the Mixed material silo machine is to be finally decommissioned, safe, environ-
mentally friendly disposal of all the components is required and of the process
materials in particular.

The Mixed material silo machine is predominantly made of steel.

This can be sent for scrap after disassembly.

Make sure you comply with national regulations when disposing of the electronic
equipment.
The electrical cables are to be disposed of as cable scrap.

In addition to the plant components, there will also be residues of aggregate, RA

or filler in the mixer tower.
These materials can be re-used and should be recycled.

The insulation consists of rock wool.

Rock wool can be recycled.

The elevator belts and drive V-belts are made of rubber.

Rubber represents toxic waste and is to be disposed of by specialist companies.
Non-defective belts can be re-used after inspection by a specialist.

Seals and other materials not specified above are to be disposed of by specialist
companies.

Dirty cleaning rags are to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. It

should be borne in mind here that residues of aggregate oils and of other environ-
mentally hazardous materials are present in the dirt.
