2 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a EurOver stainless steel column-lift bin tipper from Simpro. These

machines are ideal for food production areas, with a simple, safe design and minimal maintenance

requirements

EurOver tippers are manufactured from SUS304 stainless steel, with certified food-grade quality welding

and componentry. They are designed for easy cleaning, with a highly accessible single-mast design and

stainless steel covers to all components.

The EurOver employs a vertical worm-drive mechanism, which can safely lift bins weighing up to 300kg.

This allows for an adjustable tip height, with various models tipping in ranges between 1.5m and 2.5m.

The EurOver quick-hitch retaining system allows bins to be secured simply by rolling them into place, with

no clamping required. At the end of the tipping cycle, pressing down on a foot catch allows the bins to be

instantly released. The system is compatible with a range of international standard EuroBins and food

trolleys, also available from Simpro.

Like all Simpro products, EurOver is designed to be extremely reliable and virtually maintenance-free.

Key Features

Key features of the EurOver include:

1. A safe tipping action whereby bins are lifted straight up, and then gently rolled forward around

the lip of the container being emptied into. Benefits of this design include a small ‘footprint’,

high stability, and a wide range of tipping heights.

2. Full 304-grade stainless steel construction, suitable for hygiene-critical applications.

3. Vertical worm-drive lifting mechanism, with a huge weight capacity of 300kg.

4. DIN9797 trunnion-lift bin retaining system, suitable for use with industry standard 120L and 200L

EuroBins (also available from Simpro).

5. Upper and lower limit switches to prevent overload damage.

6. An extremely reliable, virtually maintenance-free design.

Construction

The EurOver machine consists of a 304-grade stainless steel mast, covers, bolt-down base and trunnion-

lift bin cradle with spring-loaded latch mechanism, a machined worm-drive lifting shaft with spindle, a

sealed enclosure containing an AC electric motor and belt-drive transmission, a control cabinet

containing electronic systems and operator controls, and a 3-phase power lead.


Mechanism

When operated, an AC electric motor rotates the worm-drive lifting shaft through a belt drive, causing

the spindle and sliding block to move vertically in the mast. The sliding block is attached to the bin cradle,

which is inverted at the appropriate height by a ‘follower roller’ running in a ‘guide track’. Once the bin is

empty, the motor can be reversed, causing the bin to be lowered back to ground level. Electronic control

systems allow the operator to raise or lower the bin in a controlled manner.

Assembly

The EurOver may be delivered fully assembled, or broken down and packed in wooden crates.

See Section 3 for assembly, installation and commissioning instructions.

Environmental restrictions

The following restrictions are strongly recommended for safe and reliable operation of the

EurOver bin tipper.

1. Indoors location, with a minimum floor area of four square metres and clear passage to exits;

2. Height above sea level not more than 1000m;

3. Ambient temperature not higher than +40℃ and not lower than -10℃;

4. At ambient temperatures above 35℃, the relative humidity should not exceed 50%; at lower

temperatures, higher relative humidity is permitted;

5. Do not use the EurOver in flammable or explosive environments.

3 Assembly, Installation and Commissioning

Assembly, installation and commissioning should only be conducted by authorized personnel in

accordance with the following procedures.

The EurOver weighs in excess of 250kg and should be handled with caution at all times.

An illustrated online version of these instructions may be viewed on the Simpro Support Centre,

at the following link: https://goo.gl/e14M5o

Erecting the mast

The EurOver mast is supplied detached from the lifting structure and bin cradle, and should be erected

and mounted to the ground first.

1. Remove all packaging from the EurOver.

2. Undo the black knobs holding the mast cover in place, remove the cover, and remove all foam

packing from around the worm-drive lifting shaft.

Do not attempt to erect the mast with the cover in place, as it can be damaged by the sling.

Before the mast can be erected, the ‘tipping profile’ (a small stainless steel block with a curved

track for the cradle roller) must be mounted, to protect the motor enclosure.

3. To mount the tipping profile, affix a lifting sling to the upper end of the mast adjacent to the

motor enclosure, and using a crane or hoist with >500kg capacity, lift the end of the mast slightly

off the ground. The tipping profile can now be mounted with a 19mm spanner and 2x M16 bolts.

4. With the sling secured immediately below the tipping profile, lift the mast into a vertical position.

Take care when lifting that the sling does not place undue pressure on the motor enclosure or

microswitches.

5. Move the mast into the position. The EurOver requires clearances as per the following diagram.

https://goo.gl/e14M5o


6. With the mast in position, use a spirit level to ensure it is oriented at exactly 90° degrees vertical.

7. Affix four M16 150mm-200mm Dynabolts™ to the baseplate to secure the mast in position.

The Dynabolts™ should be installed as per the following diagrams:

8. With the mast erected, the lifting sling can be removed and the mast cover replaced.

Remember to remove all foam packing from around the worm-drive lifting shaft before replacing

the mast cover.

Installing the bin cradle and lifting structure.

Once the mast is erected, the bin cradle and lifting structure may be installed.

1. Install the lifting shaft (8), the sliding block base (4) and the lifting fork (12) onto the mast and

secure with appropriate bolts.

2. Slide the lifting frame (7) into place and secure with the closing ring (6).

3. Check all fasteners are tight.

Connecting the power

Electrical work should only be conducted by an authorized, certified electrician.

The standard power supply is 415V 3-phase AC, with ±5% voltage and ±1% hertz.

The power supply should be fitted with a circuit breaker rated to at least 12 Amps.

Power specifications may differ to suit local norms; if in doubt refer to the machine rating plate.

1. Turn the mains power isolator switch and key switch to ‘Off’.

2. Connect the phase-wires in the power plug (if required) and connect the power.

3. Turn the mains power isolator switch and key switch to ‘On’. The power indicator should glow.

4. If the power indicator does not glow, turn the machine off, disconnect the power and switch any

two phase-wires in the power plug, then repeat from step 2.

5. Once the power indicator is glowing, proceed with commissioning.


Commissioning

Once the machine has been installed and the power has been connected, it should be tested to check for

any errors or problems.

1. Without loading a bin into the machine, press the ‘Up’ button on the control panel. The bin

cradle should begin to raise. If it does not, the probable cause is incorrect wiring of the power

plug. Repeat the steps in Section 3.3 to correct this.

2. Insert a 200L EuroBin into the cradle and carry out a complete tipping cycle to check that the

upper and lower limit switches are adjusted correctly. The motor should stop at the top of the

cycle when the bin is at about 30° degrees, and at the bottom of the cycle when the bin touches

the ground. Adjust the limit switches as necessary.

3. Remove the mast covers and conduct a tipping cycle while carefully observing the lifting shaft

and spindle for any jamming or incorrect operation.

4. Reattach all covers and conduct another tipping cycle with an empty EuroBin, closely observing

the roller and tipping track for jamming, unusual sounds or incorrect operation. Make

adjustments or corrections as necessary.

5. Finally, conduct a tipping cycle with a full bin to validate the installation. The complete tipping

cycle should take approximately one minute. If the bin does not completely empty, adjust the

upper limit switch to change the tipping angle, as per step 2.

Once all checks are complete, the EurOver may be placed into operation.

4 Safety

The EurOver has been designed to be as safe as possible without restricting the ease-of-use and

versatility of the machine.

A comprehensive Hazard and Risk Assessment must be undertaken before the EurOver is used

for the first time, as described in Section 4.3.

Safety features

The safety features of the EurOver are as follows:

1. A very slow 0.01m/s operation speed, minimising the entanglement risk to personnel.

2. A failsafe worm-drive mechanism which regulates the operation speed regardless of the weight

of the bin.

3. A control panel located on opposite side of machine to the lifting mechanism.

Reasonably foreseeable misuse

The reasonably foreseeable misuse considered in the EurOver design is as follows:

1. Use of the machine by untrained operators;

2. Attempting to tip bins that the cradle is not specifically designed to hold;

3. Personnel accessing areas underneath the cradle without following proper procedures;

4. Attempts to clean the machine without following proper procedures.

Hazard and Risk Assessment Guide

Machinery owners are required by law to conduct a comprehensive Hazard and Risk Assessment for their

equipment, considering all relevant factors such as the area it is used, the skill and training of operators,

the proximity of other persons, frequency of use, etc.

The following section is not intended to be a comprehensive Hazard and Risk Assessment, but an analysis

of the most common risk factors associated with the EurOver bin tipper.

As with all powered industrial equipment, some hazards remain, and it is essential that all operators are

aware of these hazards and what they must do to prevent harm to themselves or to others, as described

in Section 4.3.4.


Risk Factor Calculation As defined in safety standards, the ‘Risk Factor’ associated with any given hazard may be calculated from

the following table, using the formula:

Risk Factor = LO x FE x DPH x NP

Risk Factor Evaluation Once a Risk Factor has been calculated, it may be evaluated using the following table.

LO Likelihood of Occurrence

FE Frequency of Exposure

DPH Degree of Possible Harm

Cradle jams

Occasionally the bin cradle may become jammed at some point in the tipping cycle. This is usually a

minor issue which may be easily rectified.

Cradle jams or stalls while raising If the cradle stops during the raise cycle, the cause is usually due to the bin being too heavy, the motor

and drive belts being jammed with foreign matter, or the drive belts being insufficiently tensioned.

1. Lower the bin to ground level if possible.

2. Remove some of the product from the bin manually, then try again.

3. If the cradle jams even with a light bin or no bin at all, open the motor enclosure and clean the

motor and drive belts with compressed air.

4. Check that the drive belts are tight, and adjust the tension if necessary as per Section 6.5.

Cradle jams while lowering If the cradle jams while lowering, or has jammed on the way up but will not come down, the problem

may be an electrical or mechanical fault.

When the ‘Down’ button is pressed, the lowering relay should emit a ‘click’ sound. If it does not, the

problem will be an electrical fault. Use the following procedure to rectify the problem:

This procedure should only be carried out by an authorized, certified electrician, following 415V

3-phase electrical safety procedures.

1. Open the control cabinet cover.

2. Use a multimeter to check that the controls are receiving an electrical signal. If not, check the

wiring and repair any breaks.

3. If there are no further problems, the machine may be returned to service. If the machine is still

not operating, contact your agent.

If the lowering relay is operating correctly, the problem may be a mechanical fault. Use the following

procedure to rectify the problem:

1. Manually empty the bin if is safe to do so.

2. Attempt to identify the cause of the jamming. The most likely causes are:

a. Lack of lubrication to the mast, worm-drive lifting shaft and spindle. Lubricate these

components as described in Section 6.4.

b. The shaft collar holding the cradle on the main axle may have moved, allowing the roller

to come out of the ‘tipping guide’ track.

c. The mast may have been bent or damaged, causing the mast sliding blocks to jam.

3. Once the problem has been identified, rectify it and lower the cradle to the ground.

4. Run the machine through several full cycles with no load to ensure the problem has been

properly resolved. Then test with a full load.

5. If there are no further problems, the machine may be returned to service.

Lubrication

The EurOver should be lubricated regularly, in accordance with the details below and the inspection

schedule in Section 10.

1. Apply a small amount of No. 2 Lithium-based grease with Molybdenum Disulphide to the T-screw

and brass nut (1), then wipe away superfluous grease.

2. Apply No. 2 Lithium-based grease with Molybdenum Disulphide to the upper bearing (to fill ¾ of

the bearing gap) and around the sliding shaft bush (2), then wipe away superfluous grease.


Tensioning the drive belts

If the drive belts are insufficiently tensioned they may start to slip, accelerating wear and preventing the

EurOver from lifting heavy bins. The belt tension may be adjusted as follows:

This procedure should only be carried out by authorized, certified personnel.

1. Open the covers on the motor enclosure (3, 11).

2. Clean the motor, belts and other components with compressed air.

3. Verify that the drive belts (4) are slipping when attempting to lift heavy bins.

4. If the belts are slipping, release the lock bolt (8) and turn the tension bolt (6) clockwise to

increase the tension.

Take care not to over-tension the drive belts. When correctly adjusted, the belts will begin to slip

when lifting bins weighing more than about 300kg. A full EuroBin typically weighs about 200kg.

If a drive belt is worn or damaged, it should be replaced with Simpro part no. 0250190608. (The

complete spare parts list may be viewed here: https://goo.gl/LHf76t)

5. Once the belt tension is acceptable, re-tighten the lock bolt (8) and replace the covers (3, 11).

The EurOver may now be returned to service.

Exclusions

1. Simpro will not recognise a Warranty Claim against a machine where payment to Simpro for that machine is outstanding. If a Warranty Claim is made before payment is due, the full payment must be made on the due date. The Warranty Claim, if accepted, will be credited at a later date.

2. Warranty Claims may not be recognized unless the Warranty Registration Process has been completed. If not done at the time of sale, this should be done at the time of the Warranty Claim. If warranty registration has not been completed, proof of purchase may be required.

3. Damage caused or contributed to by misuse, abuse, accident, unauthorised repairs or modifications, or failure to use the machine in accordance with instructions is specifically excluded.

4. Travelling time and mileage are specifically excluded from the Simpro warranty coverage. However under certain circumstances Simpro at its discretion may contribute to these costs. Authorisation must be obtained from Simpro prior to any such Warranty Claim. This does not prohibit an Agent offering more extensive Warranty cover, outside of this Warranty, as negotiated between the Agent and the End User.

End User Claim Procedure

1. Where a fault or breakdown appears to have occurred the End User should, if applicable, first consult the Troubleshooting Guide section of the User Manual provided with each machine, to ascertain the cause of the fault and remedy if possible. This information may also be accessed on the Simpro Support website: http://support.simpro.world.

2. If the fault is not able to be remedied, the End User should contact the Agent who sold the machine, and explain as fully as possible the fault, including all relevant factors such as:-

1. Did the fault occur suddenly or has it been giving trouble over some time? 2. Was the machine being used at the time? 3. Is the fault intermittent? 4. Are the batteries fully charged? 5. If repair is urgent, and the Agent cannot be contacted, the End User may contact Simpro direct.

Agent Claim Handling Procedure

1. Upon receiving notification of a fault, the Service Agent should attempt to determine the cause and a course of action before going to see the machine.

2. The Service Agent should contact Simpro for assistance in identifying the fault, if it is not apparent. This step is important, so that if a site visit is necessary, the correct tools and spare Parts can be taken. It is also important to establish whether there may have been any negligence, misuse or an accident that contributed to or caused the fault.

3. Parts requiring replacement will be supplied by Simpro free of charge; in some cases it may be necessary to source Parts locally if needed urgently, but Simpro must authorize this if the cost of the item exceeds $50.00 and is to be charged to Simpro.

4. If the fault is not a Minor Fault, the Agent must notify Simpro and receive authorization to proceed before the repair work is done. Simpro will assist in every way possible, including discussing the problem directly with the End User if necessary to determine the best method of effecting the repair, in the shortest time possible.

5. Upon completion of the repair to an acceptable standard, the Agent shall complete the Application For Warranty Consideration Form and include copies of any invoices for labour, and any Parts supplied.

6. The cost of Warranty repairs is not to be deducted from any payments due to Simpro, unless Simpro issues a credit note clearly stating the amount and which invoice it relates to.

7. Simpro undertakes to be reasonable in respect of all Warranty repairs undertaken by Agents, but reserves the right to decline payment for:-

1. Work done or materials replaced that were not authorized in advance by Simpro. 2. Work not done to an acceptable standard. 3. Work taking an unduly long time, due (in part or in full) to the lack of knowledge or skill of the

serviceman or the Agent. The time allowed for repair work will be based on Simpro’s assessment of what a reasonably skilled tradesman would take. Full Service Manuals are available on request at any time from Simpro and all service visits should be conducted with a Service Manual at hand.
