MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS 9.1 Transport drive rollers - height and spring pressure adjustment Transport drive rollers are mounted on one only balance bearing, so as to guarantee a uniform force distribution. Height and pressure adjustment is carried out on the top of both sides, under the plastic cover. Dish spring pressure is determined by the large round nuts and pins. Turning the nuts clockwise increases the pressure. Once pressure is adjusted, the height of the transport drive rollers in relation to the support roller should be observed, so as to ensure that they are not compressing the coating. Cylinder height adjustment is carried out using the hex head nuts. Spring pressure and cylinder height should be uniform at both sides of the equipment. TRANSPORT DRIVE ROLLER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SPRING PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT Spring pressure and cylinder height should be adjusted in order to prevent excessive compression, since this may damage the hides and/or the support roller coating. L Close the equipment for adjustment. Once all adjustments are completed, the locknuts should be locked again. 21 DN-33 9.2 Hose and table alignment The parallel position of the hose table in relation to the blade roller is adjusted in the factory and does not require further corrections or changes. Similarly, the hose is aligned during the factory mounting process and does not require corrections. However, in cases where a different adjustment is necessary, hose alignment may be altered using the thrust bolts located at the front side of the table, underneath the protection plate. HOSE TABLE ADJUSTMENT BOLTS (UNDERNEATH THE PROTECTION PLATE) ADJUSTMENT BOLTS L Make sure that there are no salient parts that could come in contact with the blades during operation; this will result in premature wear or damage to the hose. For safety reasons, this adjustment should be carried out with the machine closed, with the blade roller turned off and stopped, and with the transport drive roller also turned off. 22 The adequate clearance between the hose table and the blade roller can be determined with the help of a clearance gauge, in order to ensure that clearance will be uniform along the whole extension of the hose. 9.3 Hose and table compensation TABLE-SUSTAINING HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS The table-sustaining hydraulic cylinders allow for thickness compensation when working with hides with different weight or size. The stroke of the hydraulic cylinders can be regulated to leave a preestablished clearance between the hose and the blade roller (compensation). REMOVE THIS COVER TO ACCESS THE TABLE COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT 23 DN-33 9.4 Removing access covers In order to adjust these mechanisms, remove the access cover shown in the picture by loosening the fastening nuts. FASTENING NUTS ACCESS COVER Stroke adjustment is carried out via the limiting nuts, located immediately above the rollers. Turning the nuts clockwise decreases the roller stroke. Once the stroke is adjusted, the nuts should be fastened again. LIMITING NUTS The table is supported by two dish spring assemblies. These dish springs are located on the hydraulic cylinder shafts. Spring pressure may be adjusted via the regulating nuts, if necessary. REGULATING NUTS Turning the nuts increases spring pressure. anticlockwise Adjustment is carried out using the pins supplied with the tools and accessories. 24 9.5 Hydraulic adjustment Open the control panel cover to access the hydraulic control components. The hydraulic pressure is adequately adjusted before the equipment is shipped. MANOMETER INSULATING VALVE The general pressure of the system is set to 135 bar, and can be read on the manometer by activating the insulating valve located below it. Pressure will only reach its peak value in three situations: during machine opening, while the machine is closed and the transport drive roller is at full speed, or while the machine is closed and the transport drive roller is turned off. These are the best conditions for assessing the actual equipment general pressure. 25 DN-33 L To assess equipment pressure, close the machine and turn off the transport drive roller. General pressure is regulated by the pressure regulating valve, located next to the hydraulic block. GENERAL PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE TABLE PRESSURE OPEN/CLOSE PRESSURE TRANSPORT Open/close pressure is set to 75 bar on the pressure reducing valve, located below the flow regulating valve and the open/close directional valve. For this reading, a manometer must be coupled to the outlet of the pressure reducing valve. 26 The pressure of the thickness compensation hydraulic cylinders is set to 45 bar at the pressure reducing valve, located below the directional valve. To make this reading, a manometer must be coupled to the outlet of the pressure reducing valve. 9.6 Transport drive speed Transport drive speed ranges from 0 to 65 m/min (hydraulic adjustment) at the flow regulating valve, depending on the operation that is being performed. TRANSPORT DRIVE SPEED REGULATING VALVE Turning the knob of the valve clockwise decreases the transport drive speed. 10. CONTROL PANEL TRANSPORT DRIVE ROLLER ON/OFF COMMUTATOR The transport drive roller may also be turned off via the control panel commutator. This facilitates eventual maintenance or adjustment procedures. COMMUTATOR GENERAL CONTROL 27 DN-33 CONTROL PANEL ^ All DN-33 operating controls are located on the control panel. Once all necessary mechanical adjustments have been made, the next step is to activate the control buttons. The control panel has an acrylic cover that ensures fast access to the emergency button. To access other controls, open this cover. The acrylic cover should be kept over the panel during machine operation, so as to allow prompt access to the emergency button. 28 10.1 Control panel components INDICATOR - BLADE ROLLER ON INDICATOR HYDRAULIC PUMP ON TURNS ON HYDRAULIC PUMP INCREASES FLESHING THICKNESS TURNS ON BLADE ROLLER INDICATOR THICKNESS CONTROL STROKE END INDICATOR MAXIMUM RECOIL GENERAL CONTROL INDICATOR STROKE END INDICATOR MAXIMUM ADVANCEMENT GENERAL CONTROL COMMUTATOR WHEN ACTIVATED, INDICATES THAT BLADES ARE WORN EMERGENCY TRANSPORT DRIVE ROLLER ON/OFF COMMUTATOR TURNS OFF BLADE ROLLER TURNS OFF HYDRAULIC PUMP DECREASES FLESHING THICKNESS 29 DN-33 When the acrylic cover is placed over the control panel (standard position), the only accessible button is the emergency button.

L OPERATING SEQUENCE The equipment requires two (2) operators working simultaneously. 11.1 1 Starting the equipment 3 2 In order to start the machine and begin operations, follow the instructions below: 1. Set the general control commutator to position 1; a green indicator will light above the commutator, indicating adequate electricity supply, and a red indicator will light above the right-side protection plate, indicating that the closing process is blocked and that a safety test should be carried out. 2. Start the hydraulic pump by pressing the corresponding button. 3. Start the blade roller by pressing the corresponding button. 4. Run a safety test, as described on pages 32-33. 5. Close the machine as described on page 34 and perform the open/close system filling procedure, as described on page 35. 6. Activate water supply for the hydraulic system cooling. The machine will be ready to start operating. In cases of emergency, activate the emergency button located on the control panel acrylic cover. If the equipment happens to be closed, it will open, and the blade roller will be turned off; then the red indicator will light, showing that the closing system is blocked. In order to restart the working cycle, it is necessary to turn on the blade roller again and to perform a safety test. 31 DN-33 11.2 Checking the safety and emergency system The equipment has a very efficient safety and emergency system. The system is composed by two electropneumatic pedals for opening/closing the machine, two electropneumatic safety bars that open the machine (located at the upper protection plate), and a photoelectric sensor that prevents closing of the machine when a foreign body is detected in the support roller closing line – all these parts are monitored through tests that are performed each the machine starts operation. INDICATOR SAFETY AND EMERGENCY BARS PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR DRIVE PEDALS PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR 32 11.3 L Safety test procedure The machine will not close until this test is carried out! INDICATOR LIT, SHOWING THE NEED TO PERFORM THE SAFETY TEST For this test, the control commutator has to be on. It is necessary to simultaneously activate the two safety bars. Then, intercept the photoelectric sensor beam projection. The blocking indicator will turn off, and the machine will be ready for operation. The safety and emergency system should be checked every time the machine is started. This will ensure the safety of the operators as well as the interruption of operation whenever necessary! 33 DN-33 11.4 Open/close sequence DRIVE PEDALS The DN-33 closing process occurs as described below: To close the machine, the two drive pedals should be activated. Once a pedal is activated, the photoelectric sensor beam should not be intercepted (if this happens, the machine will not close even after activation of the second pedal). If this is the case, release the two pedals again and restart the closing process. Once the closing process has started, the photoelectric sensor loses its function. SENSOR Prior to completion of the closing process, the machine can be opened, if necessary, by releasing one of the pedals. Once the machine is closed, it may be opened again by activating any of the safety bars or pedals. L 34 CLOSING PROCESS At any moment, activation of the safety bars will stop the closing process and/or open the machine. 11.5 Checking the hydraulic system Check the closing system every time you use your equipment so as to guarantee the synchronicity of the open/close hydraulic cylinder. To carry out this test, do the following: • Close the machine MACHINE CLOSED BALL VALVE OPEN • Open the ball valve and close it again. This will fill the open/close system. CLOSE The figure on the right shows the ball valve being opened by moving the lever upwards. This is a preventive test that guarantees the best performance for your equipment. L After opening the machine, open the ball valve and close it again so as to remove excessive pressure from the filling system. Never activate the open/close system while the ball valve is open! 35 DN-33 11.6 L Thickness adjustment To carry out this procedure, keep the equipment closed! To adjust the distance between the hose and the blade roller (fleshing thickness) close the equipment using the “+” and “-“ buttons located on the control panel. The “+” button indicates more thickness, that is, a greater distance between the hose and the blade roller. On the other hand, “-“ indicates less thickness. Each “+”/“-“ pulse alters the hose/roller distance in 0.1 mm. The adjustment should be carried out taking into consideration the irregularities of different leathers and also the wear of the blades. 36 MACHINE CLOSED 11.7 Fleshing process TRANSPORT DRIVE ROLLER LEATHER BLADE ROLLER At the first stage of the fleshing process, the machine will remain open, and the leather will be introduced into the support roller (downwards). SUPPORT ROLLER HOSE After this stage, the pedals are activated. The machine closes at this point. The leather exits the machine (second fleshing stage). OUTPUT Finally, the machine opens again and is ready for another fleshing cycle. 37 DN-33 11.8 Drive pedals MACHINE OPEN TRANSPORT BLADE DRIVE PEDALS SUPPORT The pedals activate the equipment closing/opening functions. If only one pedal is activated, the machine will not close – for that, both pedals have to be activated simultaneously. Once the leather has been introduced into the machine (first half of the hide), each operator activates a drive pedal in order to close the machine. Then, the transport drive system is activated and drives the hide outwards. One of the operators opens the machine using a pedal or safety bar. Then they turn the hide around and introduce the second half of the hide, repeating the fleshing cycle. The photoelectric sensor is installed above the support roller. If the light beam is intercepted by a foreign body, the closing movement will not occur. Example: if one of the operators has already introduced half a hide into the machine and activates the pedal, and the other operator interrupts the sensor beam while introducing another half hide, the machine will not close, in spite of the activated pedal. In other words, if the beam is intercepted after activation of one of the pedals, the machine saves this information and blocks the closing process. In this case, both pedals should be released, and the closing cycle should be restarted. Similarly, if the machine is opened via activation of one pedal and this pedal remains pressed, activation of the second pedal will not cause the machine to close. To close the machine, it is always necessary to perform the whole cycle of pedal activation, avoiding obstruction of the photoelectric sensor beam. 38 SENSOR BEAM 11.9 Table compensation pedal During the fleshing process, it may become necessary to use the table compensation feature (e.g. if there is a thicker or heavier hide in a lot). Activating this pedal increases the opening of the table slightly, increasing the distance between the hose and the blade roller (and therefore the fleshing thickness). This pedal may be activated before or during the fleshing cycle. If the machine has already closed and the operator observes defective or excessive fleshing, the compensation pedal may be used. The table compensation pedal activates the hydraulic cylinders of the table, changing their position. The range of thickness for compensation is determined by the stroke length of the table compensation cylinders, as described on page 23. TABLE COMPENSATION PEDAL Once this pedal is activated, the yellow indicator starts flashing. To make the table return to its original position, press the compensation pedal again. The table will return to its normal position, and the indicator will turn off. 39 DN-33 11.10 Sharpening the blades The blade sharpening process is part of the DN-33 operating cycle. Blade sharpening should be carried out on a regular basis, every 30 minutes or less while in operation. When the blade roller is turned on, the sharpening timer is automatically activated. From this moment on, the blue indicator will light every 30 minutes to indicate the need for blade sharpening. Whenever the indicator lights, the sharpening procedures described below should be carried out. Open the blade roller rear protection. This protection plate, located at the rear side of the machine, should be lifted and kept open with the help of the hook. ^ 1 Q Protect your eyes Q { Ò Protect your hands 40 Remember that this is a rotating machine, and that the blades may cause severe injuries to the operator! Do not perform this operations wearing clothes or equipment that may get caught in the cylinder! Activate the commutator in order to turn on the sharpening cart. The commutator is located in the rear, on the left. When activated, the commutator sets the timer to indicate the need for sharpening every 30 minutes. The ideal timing for the cart to run a sharpening cycle is every 30 minutes or whenever cutting capacity decreases (deficient hide fleshing/ cleaning). The abrasive stone or brick used in the sharpening process should be positioned against the blades with the help of the steering assembly, for smooth sharpening. Turning the steering assembly clockwise brings the abrasive brick closer to the blades. If one only sharpening cycle is necessary (which is usually the case), the commutator may be turned off again, because the cart will not stop before reaching the stroke end. ABRASIVE BRICK Once the sharpening process is complete, the protection plate should be returned to its original position, covering the blade roller. L L After each sharpening cycle, brush the blades in order to remove debris that may damage the hides. Sharpening should be smooth. Take care not to place the abrasive stone too close to the blades. 41 DN-33 11.11 Turning off the equipment 3 1 2 With the machine open, do the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn off the blade roller at the corresponding button; Turn off the hydraulic pump at the corresponding button; Change the general control commutator to position 0; Close the hydraulic system cooling water supply. MACHINE OPEN 42 12.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS The DN-33 was basically designed to work with the following types of hides: • Cattle • Horse • Buffalo These hides considered large-sized. are The DN-33 can efficiently handle irregularities in leather thickness, provided it is adequately regulated and adjusted. L When the leather is still fresh (coming directly from the slaughtering establishment) it can be fleshed right away. On the other hand, if using salted hides, rewet the leather before the fleshing process, in order to re-hydrate the hide and make it malleable. If you have questions about operating the equipment carefully read the instructions in this manual, especially those related to operation and adjustments. 13.1 Cleaning the equipment When cleaning the equipment on the outside, use only water and soap. Do not use abrasives, because they may damage the painting as well as the components. Daily cleaning routine At the end of a working day, clean the equipment using running water at room temperature or at 60° C maximum.

FILLER NOZZLE SUCTION-TYPE FILTER (LOCATED NEXT TO THE HYDRAULIC PUMP, SUBMERGED) Caution! Do not leave the nozzle open so as to prevent debris from getting into the tank and contaminating the system! OIL LEVEL INDICATOR GENERAL PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE Check the hydraulic pressure: The general hydraulic pressure, set to 135 bar, can be read on the manometer by activating the insulating valve located above it. The pressure is regulated at the pressure regulating valve, located next to the hydraulic block. 55 DN-33 Open/close pressure is set to 75 bar on the pressure reducing valve, located below the flow regulating valve and the open/close directional valve. To make this reading, couple a manometer to the outlet of the pressure reducing valve. TABLE COMPENSATION DIRECTIONAL VALVE OPEN/CLOSE DIRECTIONAL VALVE TRANSPORT DRIVE DIRECTIONAL VALVE The pressure of the thickness compensation hydraulic cylinders is set to 45 bar at the pressure reducing valve, located below the directional valve. To make this reading, couple a manometer to the outlet of the pressure reducing valve. For any pressure verification, close the machine and turn off the transport drive roller . The system does not cause the oil level to lower. A lower oil level is a sign of leakage, which may compromise operation. This kind of problem should be checked and corrected. 56 14.9 Drive The steering assembly drive system is located on the rear part of the machine. In normal working conditions, these components do not require maintenance. However, once a year the items described below should be checked. Adjustments should be carried out if necessary. PRESSURE AGENTS BELT TENSION The moto-reducer of the sharpening assembly also presents lubrication points. GREASER CHAIN GREASER Lubricate the chain every day and the greasers every week. 57 DN-33 14.10 Blade sharpener The blade sharpener has bar lubrication points. The assembly has automatic oil droppers that lubricate the bar during the sharpening process. Lubricate the sharpener chain every day. Lubrication can also be carried out according to the instructions given below. Before starting the sharpening process, lubricate the bar using an oilcan. To replace the sharpening stone, the corresponding fastening bolts should be loosened. Then, the stone should be replaced and firmly fixed again, so as to guarantee the perfect operation of the sharpener. Caution! During the sharpening process, the blade roller will be moving. Do not touch it with your hands ! 58 14.11 Blade roller replacement 27 mm The working life of the blade roller is determined according to the wear observed on the blades. Original blades are 27 mm thick; they grow thinner after several sharpening procedures. Wear is compensated by the blade roller advancement system via the ( - ) button, on the control panel. The minimum height limit for the blades is of approximately 7mm; at this point, the maximum advancement stroke end will be activated (located in the rear, on the left, underneath the sharpening bar, identified as BLADES WORN). When this stroke end is activated, the corresponding indicator will light on the control panel, and it will not be possible to further decrease the fleshing thickness. This indicates that it is time to replace the blade roller. GENERAL CONTROL COMMUTATOR BLADES WORN To replace the blade roller, follow the steps below: 1. Turn on the general commutator. 59 DN-33 Inside the control board, within the electric components, find the MAXIMUM RECOIL commutator. ELECTRIC COMPONENTS MAXIMUM RECOIL COMMUTATOR 2. Activate the MAXIMUM RECOIL commutator inside the control board and press the ( + ) button on the control panel. The recoil movement of the blade roller will start (as if increasing the fleshing thickness) until the maximum recoil stroke end is touched (located next to the maximum advancement stroke end). 3. Turn off the MAXIMUM RECOIL commutator and the general commutator. 60 4. Release the bearings and remove the blade roller protection cover. 5. Remove the internal bar protection plate. 6. Remove the bolts of the blade roller cardan coupling flange and the fastening bolts of the side bearing covers. 7. Fasten the auxiliary devices for blade roller replacement supplied with the tools using the same fastening bolts used for the covers. 61 DN-33 8. With the help of an adequate belt, remove the blade roller using a tackle, a forklift or a hauler (truck capacity must be compatible with the weight of the roller). 9. Install the new blade roller with extreme caution and avoiding shocks. Check the position of the vibration dampers. 10. Remove the auxiliary devices and fasten the bearing covers. 11. Fasten the cardan to the coupling flange. 12. Return the internal bar protection plate and the blade roller protection cover to their original position. 13. Turn on the general commutator. 14. With the blade roller on, proceed with the adjustment of the blades so that they are parallel to the bar (contact between the abrasive brick and the blades must be uniform). 15. The blade roller should be turned off, and the machine should be closed as soon as the roller stops rotating. With the help of a clearance gauge and using the ( - ) button on the control panel, adjust the distance between the blade roller and the hose, so that the desired fleshing thickness is obtained. 62 14.12 Blocking of the safety system The safety system employs a photoelectric sensor and safety bars, as described on pages 32-33; these mechanisms are tested every time the machine is turned on, before it starts operating. If one of these devices is damaged and stops working, the machine will not be able to operate, because the safety system will be blocked (emergency status). PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR To operate the machine while in emergency status, the aspects mentioned below should be observed until replacement of the damaged item. The photoelectric sensor commutator is located on the electric component panel. In normal working conditions, this commutator should remain on. PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR COMMUTATOR To operate the machine while in emergency status, the points listed below should be observed until replacement of the damaged item.
