Installing the Vieira MCO hammer mill
Updated on By Moinhos Vieira – technical team
In short
The Vieira MCO mill is installed on a flat, covered floor, with no floor anchoring and with room for the grinding box door to open. The electrical connection must be made by a qualified professional.
Step by step
Unload it with suitable equipment
Use a hoist or a forklift with load slings suited to the weight of the mill. The electric motor lifting eye and the machine base can be used for lifting.
Choose a flat, covered site
Leave room around the mill for operation, cleaning and maintenance. There is no need to bolt the mill to the floor.
Let the door open fully
Place the mill so that the grinding box door opens completely: leave the space the door needs to open, as shown in the manual.
Call a professional for the electrical work
The electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified professional, such as an industrial electrician. They will specify the right circuit breakers and cables for your mill.
Check the voltage and fit a circuit breaker
Confirm that the mill voltage matches the local mains supply. Use a circuit breaker to switch the mill on, so that maintenance can be done with the machine isolated from power.
If you are unsure about any step, stop and contact technical assistance.
Unloading, positioning the mill and connecting it to the local mains supply are the customer’s responsibility. Before starting it for the first time, follow the safety precautions and fit the screen (fitting the screen).
If you have any questions about the installation, contact technical assistance before starting the mill.
