-- 4) ENVISAGED MACHINE USE --

The RVG compressor is a machine which generated a well-defined quantity of compressed air measures
in litres per minute.
There are many field of application for the use of all those tools, accessories and implements which
have a "pneumatic" function.
Each instrument has a compressed air consumption measured in litres per minute.
The best ratio between compressor and tool is when the compressed air consumption of this last does
not exceed 85% of the air generated by the compressor (also bear in mind that the quantity of
compressed air requested by the tool, will increase in proportion to the wear of the tool itself).
A correct compressor-tool ratio will ensure that the machine operates efficiently and will guarantee
maximum performance.
If the tool is too big it will jeopardise the correct function of the machine, and its performance will be
impaired, not having the necessary amount of compressed air.
This machine has been designed to work at an environmental temperature of between +1 and +45C.

COUNTER-INDICATIONS

The compressed air generated by this unit contains minute traces of oil and it is therefore
not suited to use in those systems that require totally oil-free air (i.e. food industry, pharmaceutical
industry, flour and powder transport, etc...).

PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

1. The machine owner is responsible for ensuring that the compressor is maintained in such
conditions as to ensure totally safe operation. Any parts or accessories which fail to guarantee
safe function are to be replaced.
2. Use only the oils and lubricants recommended or approved by producer and the engine
manufacturer. Ensure that the selected lubricants comply with all current safety provisions,
particularly as regards explosion or fire risks, and the hazard of the decomposition or production
of harmful gases.
3. The supervisor or the responsible party must ensure that all the instructions concerning the
function and maintenance of both machinery and equipment are always carefully followed, and
that the machines and all the related accessories and safety instruments, comprising the entire
compressed or vacuum air system together with all the related piping, valves, connectors and
hoses as well as the expendable elements are in good conditions, that they are not excessively
worn and that they are not mishandled.
4. All maintenance, overhauling and repair operations are to be undertaken exclusively by
adequately trained staff, and supervised by a person qualified in these types of operations if
necessary.
5. Maintenance operations must be undertaken only with the machine at a standstill and with the
electrical power supply disconnected by means of the switch installed by the user.
6. In the event of suspected or evident overheating of an internal machine component it is
necessary to stop the machine, but do not open any inspection hatch before the necessary
cooling time has elapsed, to prevent the risk of the spontaneous combustion of oil vapours on
contact with incoming air.
7. Before proceeding to disassemble any pressurized component, the compressor, or the machine
needs to be suitably isolated from all pressure sources and should be totally exposed to the
atmosphere. Each isolation valve must display a warning sign with the wording “work in
progress: do not open”.
8. Before proceeding with repair work it is necessary to take all the necessary precautions to
prevent the risk of sudden starting up. All the starter instruments must also bear a sign with the
following wording “work in progress. Do not start up”.

Mine Master Ltd is constantly striving to improve its products and must therefore, reserve the right to change designs, materials, specifications and price without notice.

9. Never allow the machine or appliance to operate at beyond the established limits (in terms of
pressure, temperature, speed, etc..)
10. The machines and pneumatic appliances are to be kept clean, and free of oil, dust, or other
accumulated dirt.
11. To avoid the risk of the building up of excessive working temperatures, the heat transfer
surfaces must be regularly inspected and cleaned (including cooling fins, coolers and the water
jackets, etc). A suitable programmed cleaning frequency should be established for each
machine.
12. All the regulation and safety instruments must be maintained with the greatest care to ensure
their correct function and they must not be placed out of use.
13. Beware of damaging the safety valves and other pressure discharging instruments, obstruction
by means of varnish, oil residue or accumulated dirt is to be avoided as it may effect the working
efficiency of the instrument.
14. The precision of the pressure and temperature indicators should be regularly checked in order
to ensure rapid replacement should the tolerance values be irregular.
15. The parts should be replaced solely using original spares.
16. Never use any inflammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride to clean the parts. Take the
necessary precautions to protect against toxic vapours when cleaning using specific chemical
products.
17. Always pay the greatest care to cleanliness in all the maintenance and repair operations. Always
protect against dirt by covering the parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or
adhesive tape.

18. During operations involving either heat, flames or sparks in a machine, the surrounding
components must be protected with non-inflammable material.
19. Never use a live flame luminous source to inspect the inside of a machine, pressure container
etc.
20. Before dismantling a compressor, engine or other machine or before beginning an overhaul
operation, avoid moving mobile parts weighting over 15 kg.
21. Once the repairs are complete ensure that no tools, cloths or components have been left inside
or on top of the machine, engine or drive elements.

PRECAUTIONS DURING USE AND FUNCTION

1. The operator must avoid compressed air outlets as the force and the speed of the air may cause
injury to those in direct contact with the air jet.
2. NEVER OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT PRESSUR SWITCH COVER IN PLACE
3. Before starting the compressor, check the rotation direction of the motor: press the start and
emergency push-buttons in quick sequence and, by looking at the motor fan, check that it moved
in the direction shown by the arrow placed on the motor-compressor joint.
Always check the direction of rotation at the first starting: a wrong rotation can cause
serious damages on the machine!
4. It is however totally prohibited to operate the machine in closed environments in which
vapours or corrosive or explosive gas mixtures exist.
5. The machine has been designed and constructed to work with bonnet lowered and therefore it
must not be kept raised with the engine running, because as well as generating high noise
levels which are harmful it would also jeopardize the necessary internal ventilation that is
essential to ensure correct compressor function.
6. The cooling fan is controlled by a thermostat and is therefore automatically operated: never
remove the protective grating!
Should it be necessary to replace the fan, undertake replacement work by disconnecting the
machine from the electricity supply and re-connect only after re-installing the protective grating.
7. Position the machine away from the walls and take all the necessary precautions to ensure that
the hot air discharged from the engine and from the cooling systems is not recycled. Should it
be conveyed back into the engine or ventilator there is a risk of machine overheating.
8. When selecting flexible hosing to connect the machine to the tool, it is important to ensure that
they are of the correct dimensions, in terms of length, the air volume involved and the working
pressure. In fact if the piping is too small in diameter or of excessive length, there is a risk of
blocking the air flow, with a loss in charge and reduced tool performance. Never use worn,
damaged or faulty hoses.
9. The hosing used to convey the compressed air from the machine to the tool, or to any other
appliance that may be applied, must have a cock at one end of the hose connection, this cock
should be kept closed when connecting the hosing to the tool and the machine in order to

Page 10.

prevent the risk of accidental opening of the cock itself with the consequent risk of severe
wobbling of the hosing itself, and even a risk of personal injury. Before disconnecting any piping,
always make sure that there is no internal pressure.
10. Protect the ears using suitable ear-muffs, when noise output exceeds 85 dB (A). Avoid exposure
to these noise levels for extended periods of time.

SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS

Maintenance and repair operations are to be undertaken solely by adequately trained staff, supervised
by a specifically trained technician in the field if necessary.
1. Use only the tools specifically suited to maintenance and repair operations.
2. Use only original spares.
3. All the standard maintenance operations aside from those of normal surveillance, are to be
undertaken only when the compressor it at a standstill. Concrete precautions should be taken
to ensure that the unit cannot be started up accidentally.
4. Before dismantling any component under pressure, isolate the unit in an appropriate manner
against all pressure sources and discharge the pressure from the entire system.
5. Always ensure that no parts, cloths or tools have been left inside or on top of the unit.
6. Do not remove or tamper with the sound-proofing material.
7. Always be sure to replace all the parts removed during maintenance operations.

-- 5) TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION --

-- 5.1) CHASSIS AND CANOPY --

The chassis and the canopy are made of shaped and electro-welded sheet. Both parts are subject to
two painting treatments to guarantee the corrosion and rust proofness. The canopy has been planned
to meet all requirements of an ordinary and extraordinary maintenance : it is equipped with big doors on
all sides to guarantee an easy accessibility to the main parts of the machine.

-- 5.2) MOTOR --

Three-phase, class F insulation, IP 55 protection degree. For further technical data and operating and
maintenance instructions, please refer to chapter 2 of this manual and the enclosed manual of the motor.

-- 5.4) COMPRESSION UNIT AND OIL SEPARATOR TANK --

It is completely manufactured in the producer factory and consists of a central body (cylinder) inside
which are fitted two screw rotors with asymmetric section, a male one with 5 lobes and female one with
6 lobes.
The cylinder is closed at the ends by two head sections which contain the bearings which bear the radial
and axial loads created by the air compression. A series of channels, inside the cylinder and heads,
undertake to deliver the oil to the various components. The distribution of the lubricant , serves to
lubricate the bearings and to maintain a coating of oil between the rotors and the bearings themselves
as well as the internal cylinder walls, thereby promoting compression resistance. Another important
function of the oil injected between the rotors is that of absorbing the heat generated by the air
compression.
The compressed air supplied by this compressor is free of any pulsations and compression comes about
axially.
The oil tank is integrated on the same compression unit, on the lower part, as is the oil separating filter,
the minimum pressure valve, and safety valve located on the rear part of the compression unit.
A "regulator" unit is mounted on the compression unit, the purpose of which is to regulate the quantity
of air taken in according to the amount of air consumed. A filter mounted on the top of this unit
guarantees maximum purity of the suctioned air.

-- 5.5) BELL AND FLEXIBLE COUPLING --

The engine and the compressor are interconnected by a bell which guarantees concentricity between
the engine flywheel and the compressor shaft.
A large-size block joint with rubber pieces interspaced transmits power in a smooth and silent way
without splitting.
The engine-compressor thus assembled is clamped to the frame with four flexible supports (silent-
blocks) which completely absorb the vibrations it generates.

-- 5.6) FAN AND HEAT EXCHANGER --

The required amount of electro-compressor cooling is guaranteed thanks to a fan located near the heat
exchanger. The airflow generated, which passes through the air-oil radiator cools the oil as well as the
machine.

-- 9) MACHINE USE INSTRUCTIONS --

The use of this electro-compressor does not require specialized personnel; however it is essential that
the person responsible for its operation has read the manual in order to put into practice all the advice
and instructions provided.
Reference will be made to fig.2 in this chapter.

9.1 PREPARING FOR START-UP

1. Check the oil level inside the tank.
2. Check that the earthling system of the electric system is adequate.
3. Check that the oil tank emptying tap is fully closed.
4. Ensure that the maximum final pressure of the unit is compatible and does not exceed the value as
required by any machinery, equipment or safety valves mounted beneath the unit itself.
5. In the event of start up following an oil change or after a long period of inactivity, pour in about 0.5
litres of oil into the screw set before starting. To do this, remove the air filter and push the regulator
plate downwards whilst pouring the oil in at the same time.

9.2 STARTING UP
The operations necessary to ensure the correct starting up of the machine are as follows:

 Power the electro-compressor.

Before starting the compressor, check the rotation direction of the motor: rotate the selector on
“AUTO” and “OFF” in quick sequence and, by looking at the motor fan, check that it moved in the
direction shown by the arrow placed on the motor-compressor joint.

IMPORTANT:
Always check the direction of rotation at the first starting: a wrong rotation can cause
serious damages on the machine!

IMPORTANT:
DANGER! HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE IN THE PRESSURE SWITCH! To avoid electrical scock
or burn, unplug the line power before performing pressure switch regulation or
maintenance.

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT PRESSUR SWITCH COVER IN

PLACE

IMPORTANT:
It is important to remember that during the initial starting up stage and in the event of all
prolonged periods of inactivity of at least one week, it is strongly advisable to keep the air cocks
closed, before pressing the operating button.

 Rotate “AUTO” selector

The motor starts directly. The suction open and from this moment the electro-compressor
operates according to the operating cycle.

IMPORTANT:
In the case previously mentioned of initial start or extended machine stoppage, on
starting the electro-compressor wait at least 1 minute before opening the air cocks in the
direction of the mains. Remember to open the cocks very gradually!

9.3 OPERATING PHASE

As mentioned, when the motor start, the suction valve opens and the electro-compressor begins
air compression. The pressure indicated on the gauge begins to rise until it reaches the
maximum set value.

9.4 STOPPING
 Rotate selector on OFF
The electro-compressor stop immediately and discharge the internal pressure.

-- 10. SAFETY DEVICES AND MAIN MALFUNCTION DISPLAY --

 High pressure: There is also a mechanical safety valve on the tank for discharging any accidental
unwanted overpressure. This valve has been set according to very specific requirements and
therefore must not be altered or tampered with for any reason.

 High oil temperature: The electro compressor will come to an immediate stop when the temperature
inside the compression screw exceeds a value of 115°-3°C. Such a situation will immediately bring
the machine to a stop and pilot light C will come on.

 Motor overload: the thermal relay interrupts the compression cycle.

This relay prevents any kind of motor overloads which may damage it..

-- 12) CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE --

-- 12.1) CHECKING COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL --

Every morning before starting the machine check the oil level in the compressor tank. The
compressor oil level shall never fall below the minimum level notch and never exceed the
maximum level either. It shall fall between the two notches of min. and max. level.
Oil level checks must be undertaken a few hours after having stopped the machine, in order to allow the
oil to flow into the tank. In fact if the oil level is checked immediately after switching off the machine, a
false reading is given which means that the user will top up with more oil than is necessary.

-- 12.2) CHANGING COMPRESSOR OIL --

The oil in the compressor shall be changed every 2000 hours' operation or at least once a year.
To change the oil proceed as follows:

1. Change the oil when the machine is hot

2. switch off the compressor and disconnect the main switch.
3. Ensure that the tank is free of pressure
4. Loosen the filler cap of the tank itself (part. A fig3);
5. Loosen the drainage tap (part.B fig.4) after placing a container of adequate size under it;
6. Loosen and replace the oil filter cartridge (paragraph 10.3 );
7. Once all the oil has escaped, screw the cap back on, being sure to replace the copper seal.
Pour the lubricant oil through the filler (part. A) to the correct level (the quantity and
characteristics are indicated in paragraph 2 )
8. Close the filler cap (part. A) and start up the machine again ensuring that there is no oil
leakage, allow the machine to warm up and then stop it. Re-check the oil level after about 15
minutes and top up if necessary.

IMPORTANT: Always use the same brand and type of oil as indicated in paragraph 2. In the event
that it is necessary to change the oil type (which must however be of an equivalent type as indicated in
paragraph 2) be sure to drain away all the lubricant from the entire circuit before adding a different
type.
NEVER MIX DIFFERENT OIL TYPES.

-- 12.3) COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT (Fig. 5) --

 Use a chain pipe wrench to unscrew the filter to be

replaced (part A ).
 Oil the seal of the new filter which must be tightened and
A
secured by hand only.
 Start up the machine and ensure that there is no leakage
near the seal; if there is; switch off the machine and check
the condition of the machine and that it is correctly
positioned in its slot.

FIG. 5

WARNING: The old filter is impregnated with polluted and

harmful mineral oil. It must therefore be sent to the special collection centres.

-- 12.4) OIL SEPARATOR ELEMENT --

-- 12.4.1) CHECKING OF OIL SEPARATOR ELEMENT --

The frequency is usually estimated as being of about every 2000 working hours, but it strictly depends
on the observance of all the maintenance regulations indicated in this manual.
Insufficient oil in the tank, failure to comply with the lubricant replacement frequency indications or use
of the machine with clogged cooling radiator, may all result in serious damage to the separator filter.
Therefore after having checked the condition of the recovery nozzle described in and having made
sure of the correct oil level in thank, should there be any further traces of oil in the compressed air, it is
necessary to replace the oil separator filter.
To find out the degree of blockage of the oil separator filter proceed as follows:
- install a gauge at the top of the oil separator and check that the one on the machine is efficient.
- Start up the machine
- Partially open the delivery piping until the control panel gauge indicates the working pressure.
- Read the pressure on the gauge positioned at the top of the oil separator and compare the two values:
should a difference of over 1 bar be found, it is a clear indication that the filter is blocked and it must be
neither cleaned or washed, but replaced.

-- 12.4.2) INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OIL SEPARATOR ELEMENT --

1. This operation must be undertaken with the machine at

a standstill, and with no pressure inside the oil separator
tank.
2. To prevent the risk of soiling the machine as the result of
oil leakage which make occur on the replacement of the
oil, we recommend that a few cloths be placed under the
compression unit.
3. Unscrew the oil separator filter (part. 1 fig.6). 1
4. Re-assemble the filter making sure the lubricate the filter
seal element. The filter must be secured by hand only.

The cooling liquids of the compressor are cooled by a radiator which must therefore be kept clean to
ensure that the ventilation air can easily pass through its honeycomb flaps.
Should the flaps become clogged with dust of other particles, there is a risk of harmful overheating of
the mechanical parts of the screw compressor, seriously jeopardising its function and duration. It is
therefore advisable to check it regularly and clean it using compressed air or wash it using a pressurized
water jet.

-- 12.6) CHECKING AND SETTING OF THE MAXIMUM FINAL VALUE --

The maximum final pressure is set during the machine testing stage. With motor running at minimum
and cocks closed, the pressure value indicated on the gauge on the control panel must correspond to
that indicated in paragraph 2. In the event of a variation of over ± 5% proceed with calibration of the
maximum pressure valve (part.A fig.13)as follows:

FIG. 13

1) Keep the machine running with cocks closed.

2) Loosen the lock-nut (2) fig. (13)
3) Tighten the regulation screw (1) to increase the pressure.
Loosen regulation screw (1) to reduce the pressure.
4) Re-secure the counter-nut (2).
5) Slightly open the air delivery cock for 3-4 seconds, then close again. Repeat this operation 2 - 3 times
for valve positioning.

6) Read the pressure on the gauge and if necessary repeat calibration as indicated in points 2 - 3 - 4,
until a value as indicated in paragraph 1 is obtained 1.

WARNING: Should the gauge have a jerky discontinuous function, it must be replaced.
Therefore before undertaking any calibration of the maximum and minimum pressure valves,
make sure that the gauge itself is efficient and reliable.

- 12.6.1) REGULATION OF THE MAXIMUM AND DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ON THE PRESSURE

SWITCH

The unit is calibrated to the maximum pressure level requested by the client on order, during the factory
testing stage.
Should it be necessary to make a different regulation, the maximum level set for this type of
compressor must never be exceeded, as indicated in chapter 1 of the present user and
maintenance manual. Setting to above the maximum values would cause serious overcharging of the
electric motor.

PRESSURE REGULATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Proceed as follows:
 disconnect electrical power supply by the main switch

 Remove the cover the screw part. 1 fig. 12

 By rotating the regulation screw (part.1 fig. 13) in a clockwise direction will increase the
pressure. Once the maximum desired level is reached the compressor will stop pumping.

 The pressure will be reduced by rotating the screw in an anti-clockwise sense.

Fig. 12

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REGULATION INSTRUCTIONS:

This regulation is necessary to establish when the compressor will restart, on reaching the minimum
pressure value.
The regulation of this differential pressure value is obtained by turning the regulation screw (Part 2) in a
clockwise sense (to increase it) or in an anti-clockwise sense (to reduce it).

IMPORTANT:
The difference between the maximum and minimum pressure calibration value, must never be
under 1 bar!

IMPORTANT:
DANGER! HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE IN THE PRESSURE SWITCH! To avoid electrical shock or
burn, unplug the line power before performing pressure switch regulation or maintenance.

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT PRESSUR SWITCH COVER IN PLACE

-- 12.7) SAFETY VALVE CHECK --

This valve is positioned on the oil separator tank and operates to discharge any accidental overpressure.
This valve is calibrated and checked at the factory, and cannot therefore be altered or tampered with for
any reason.
Its efficiency can be checked periodically as follows:
1. Start up the machine
2. With cocks closed, lift the pin upwards using pliers and release as soon as the valve can be seen to
discharge air.

WARNING: The air which escapes from the

valve during this checking operation is
mixed with oil particles and therefore to
avoid soiling the operator and the inside of
the machine it is advisable to bind the valve
with a cloth.

If the pin fail to rise after being guided with

the pliers, thereby preventing valve
breathing, it must be replaced at once.
New replacement safety valves must be of
the same type as the original and must be
complete with conformity certificate issued
by the manufacturer.
As this valve plays a vital role in preventing
any dangerous overpressure which could
cause the piping, or the oil separator tank to
burst, it is important to request the original spare part citing the machine serial number.
Producer will not accept any responsibility in the event of the use of non-original and non-conforming
valves.

-- 12.8) AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE --

The compressor life and efficiency greatly depend on an accurate

maintenance of the air filter. A clogged filter reduces the efficiency
and causes an early wear of the compressor.
In normal environmental conditions clean the air filters every 100
hours work and change the air filter after 500 hours work. In very
dusty environmental conditions clean as often as required.

To replace the air filter, remove the panel, rotate the filter cap in
the way shown by the arrow on it, replace the filtering cartridge
and close the cap again.

-- 12.9) INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PRE-FILTER IN THE INTEGRATED

UNIT

The inside of the integrated compression unit contains a pre-filter which carries out the initial air-oil
separation process, thereby reducing the workload on the oil separator filter or permitting improved
air-oil separation.

A
B A C

To replace the pre-filter proceed as follows:

After checking that there is no pressure inside the tank, loosen flange A using a 6 mm Allen wrench.
Loosen filter C using the hexagon nut B using a 17 mm wrench and completely extract the same.
Insert the new filter and tighten it on its slot.
Re-tighten flange A.

IMPORTANT: This operation must only be carried out once the machine has come
to a complete stop and the power supply has been disconnected!

12.10) OIL RECOVERY NOZZLE CHECKING AND CLEANING --

This must be undertaken in the event of any leakage of nebulized oil mixed with
compressed air, as follows (fig. 11):

 Unscrew the connection (R) R

 Inside the connection (R) is a nozzle; ensure that its gauged
hole is not clogged (blow with a jet of compressed air).

 Re-assemble.

WARNING: During the regular function of the compressor

it is normal to note a certain amount of oil flow out of the
transparent piping which starts from the connection (R),
towards the compressor head.
