only be used following consultation with
Krautzberger.
Krautzberger pressure containers are
equipped as standard with a material outlet
with shutoff device, compressed air connection fitting with overpressure valve, and a
pressure gauge for pressure indication.
Pressure containers may be fitted with stirrers, level gauges, filling devices and other
accessories.
Krautzberger 50-litre and 100-litre pressure
containers are designed for 10,000 stress
reversals (1 stress reversal (or load cycle)
is equivalent to a pressure fluctuation range
> 3bar).
When using hazardous substances:
When using hazardous substances,
note that the substance is released into
the atmosphere if the safety valve is activated.
1 Use for intended pur-
pose
Krautzberger material pressure containers
are containers with detachable covers in
which compressed air can be used to pressurise liquid and low-viscosity materials.
The pressurised material can then be
routed via suitable hoses and pipes to extraction points (e.g. spray guns or similar).
Pressure containers are primarily used in
the painting and coating sector.
The temperature of the coating medium
may not be below -10°C or above +50°C.
Corrosive or highly abrasive materials may
2 General safety notes
Material pressure containers may
not be transported in pressurised
state!
The construction of pressure containers may not be altered!
It is illegal to release certain hazardous
substances directly into the atmosphere, and some substances may not
be present at the workplace in inadmissibly high concentrations. This means
that the safety valve must be of a design that permits connection to a pipeline, via which the hazardous substances can be routed to a treatment
system if necessary. Krautzberger
pressure containers can therefore be
equipped with a safety valve with connection option.
Pressure containers may only be
operated within the operating parameters (pressure, temperature
etc.) specified on the rating plate!
The housing of the pressure containers is made of stainless steel
and may have galvanised or
enameled surfaces. The operator
must check the compatibility of
the materials with the coating
substances used. Please also refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer of the coating substance.

Before opening a pressure container, the compressed air feed
must always be shut off and the
container rendered pressureless
via the venting valve!
Stirring mechanisms must be
switched off and secured against
accidental switch-on!
Please always read and observe
the safety and treatment instructions of the material manufacturer –
in particular instructions relating
to:
the wearing of protective
equipment during the use
of hazardous substances
the avoidance of harmful or
explosive environments
Electrostatic charges during operation of the pressure container can
lead to electric shocks and spark
formation.
The pressure container must therefore be earthed!
Air lines, material pipes and containers, equipment and electrically
conductive surfaces in the working
zones must also be earthed.
Components connected by the operator (hoses and pipes, fittings,
extraction devices etc.) must be reliably able to withstand the loads to
be expected during operation of the
pressure container (pressure, temperature, chemical and mechanical
influences).
Before each operating step, check
hoses and pipes for possible damage and ensure that they are firmly
connected. Loose, pressurised
hoses may cause accidents due to
whiplash-like movement and the
uncontrolled discharge of fluids.
DOK-315-GB.doc
Rooms in which hazardous substances
are stored or processed must have
adequate ventilation. It may be necessary to install a ventilation system.
If the ventilation system fails, work
must be stopped immediately and the
stirrer switched off.
Always comply with the relevant national and regional regulations.
Do not store any flammable substances, empty coating substance containers or other materials that have
been in contact with the coating substance (paper, cloths etc.) in the container or in the working zone.
Do not use halogenated detergents.
Chemical reactions may cause explosive and caustic compounds!
In the working zone, avoid open flames
and red-hot components as well as
equipment, tools and parts that can
create ignitable sparks.
Hang up “No Smoking” signs in a 5metre radius of the container. Make fire
extinguishers available if these are not
already in place!
Comply with all national and regional
water protection regulations!
Comply with all national and regional
waste disposal regulations!

The material extraction point (4) can be located the bottom or routed through the container
cover via a riser pipe. The material extraction point may have more than one port for the connection of more than one consumer. The air fitting can be equipped with connection options for
additional compressed air consumers – such as stirrers, handheld spray guns etc.

4 Installation, mounting of the container
Pressure containers must be installed in such a way that:
neither employees nor third parties are at risk
they are accessible for regular inspection
the rating plate is easily visible
the pressure container can be operated from a safe and stable position
they are protected against external mechanical influences
they are protected against unauthorised access
4.1 Connections
Connect the material pressure hose leading to your extraction point to the material out-
let (4)
The material outlet can be located the bottom or routed through the container cover via a
riser pipe. The material outlet may have more than one port for the connection of more
than one consumer.
Connect the compressed air feed to the air connection (6)
The compressed air supply must be dry and oil-free. Make the necessary provision for a
suitable shutoff device (ball cock).
The compressed air fitting can be equipped with more than one (if necessary adjustable)
outlet for the connection of additional consumers (spray gun, stirrer etc.).
Connect the waste air line to the safety valve
Connect the earthing device and earth all conductive components in the working zone
Check firmness of all connections!
4.2 Filling
Each time before you fill the container:
Shut off the compressed air feed
Vent the container via the ball cock (8) until the container is pressureless
Switch off stirrer – if present
Do not open the container cover until the container has been fully vented!
There is increased risk of fire when you open the cover! In the working zone, avoid open
flames and red-hot components as well as equipment, tools and parts that can create ignitable sparks!
When removing the cover, make sure that the stirrer blades do not knock against the container wall, thus creating ignitable sparks.
Loosen star-grip screws/clamp fasteners
Remove cover
