Operating Instructions

AUTOMATIC LPG FILLING MACHINE FOR REFILLING

Model Gb-402-Electr With Electronic Scale

The electronic scale is of robust construction to withstand the weighing and filling of steel containers under working conditions. The scale has been specially prepared for filling gas containers. It will ensure the filling of these small containers to within a close margin of the allowable filling mass, provided that the filling operation is carried out by a properly trained person. The electronic control panel is available for direct mounting to the pump stand or alternatively for remote mounting.

As an optional extra, a ticket printer can be provided. This unit can also be linked to a PC with an RS232 card.

Special Design Features

The electric piston pump has been developed with a view to overcoming the problems usually encountered with high revving centrifugal gear or vane pumps when they are used for the filling of small containers from upright 48 kg LPG supply containers. This pump is able to cope with vapour locks which are encountered in this type of operation and will not be damaged when run dry for a short period of time, e.g. when the supply container is empty. This is achieved by the use of a special type of piston fitted with U Type piston seal manufactured from a polycarbon type material operating in a cylinder. The pump is also equipped with an internal bypass for filling containers that have a restricted inlet orifice. This is set to open at a differential pressure of 80 psi (550 kPa) and should not be altered otherwise permanent damage to the pump might arise.

FLAMEPROOF MOTOR AND ELECTRICS

The electric motor supplied with this pump is a flameproof type to SANS 314-1971 suitable for the requirements of SANS-0108 Class 1, Division 1.

The motor can be operated from a normal 220-240 Volt AC, single phase, 15 amp electric mains supply, provided that the point of supply (electric socket) is not within the hazardous area (defined in SANS 087: Part VII 1972). The motor and connections comply with SANS 1031-1976 “Type E” – Apparatus for use in explosive gas atmosphere.

The intrinsically safe control module and switches are certified by the Government Mining Engineer to meet SANS-314-1971.

SCALES

The small but robust platform scale is assize-approved and is suitable for filling cylinders up to 19 kg capacity under rough working conditions. Its use by a qualified operator ensures that containers are filled to permissible filling mass.
