Figure 30: Setting the water quantity
1. Close the needle valve (1).
2. Then open the needle valve (1) two turns.
3. In this position, the water quantity is approx. 200 l/h.
4. Adjust the expected amount of water at the needle valve (1).
5. Using the needle valve (1), the material consistency can be
adjusted.
NOTE
Turning the needle valve in clockwise direction causes
lesser water flow so that the material becomes viscous
and vice versa.
The specifications of the material manufacturer must be
observed here.
Any interruption in the mixing operation results in a slight
irregularity in the consistency of the material. This irreg-
ularity normalises by itself as soon as the machine has
been working for a short while.
Therefore it is important not to change the water quan-
tity for each irregularity. Wait until the consistency of the
material has set again.
6. Connect the water hose (2) to the water inlet of the mixing tube (3).
