PERMITTED USE
TCF Air Treatment Units are designed exclusively for
CIVIL AND INDUSTRIAL AIR TREATMENT
In the case of CORROSIVE and/or EXPLOSIVE air flows
a number of special technical modifications must be
made at the design stage which, together, adapt the
machine for the treatment of special types of flow.
The Air Treatment Unit must at all times be used
strictly in accordance with the design conditions
established at the time of contract in agreement with
the customer. ANY OTHER USE SHALL CONSTITUTE
IMPROPER USE AND IS THEREFORE DANGEROUS.

CONTROL, PACKING, TRANSPORTATION
2.1.
INSPECTION OF SUPPLY AT THE FIRM
Prior to shipping, each TCF Air Treatment Unit is
subjected to all the functional tests listed on the attached
UNIT INSPECTION SHEET (Form E.1.).
The checks performed regard:
- general machine dimensions
- correct assembly of the various parts and sections
- compliance with the various safety rules in force
- integrity of all the system‘s component parts
- application of the identification, operation and safety
notices.
On completion of the Inspection, the Chief Inspector
applies the EC mark demonstrating product compliance
with prevailing European Union machine directives.
2.2.
PACKING
The Air Treatment Units are usually supplied as fully-
assembled monoblocks. Only if the customer expressly
requests it can the units be broken down into several
sections to facilitate transportation and carriage through
narrow apertures, stairs or corridors. Transportation of
the machines, both monoblock and broken down, can be:
- normal
- special.
In the former case, TCF Srl does not pack the machine. In
the case of special transportation, the packing requested
is agreed at the time of contract and is entirely for the
customer's account.
Fragile components supplied separate from the Unit,
such as humidifiers, exchangers, recuperators, filters,
control boards, etc. are always delivered packed.
2.3.
LOADING, TRANSPORTATION, UNLOADING
TCF Srl disclaims all liability for damage sustained by the
Air Treatment Units during loading, unloading and
transportation. We therefore recommend that special
precautions be taken, including:
- The load must be firmly secured to ensure its integrity
during transportation
- Handling must be performed without exerting force on
projecting accessories (hydraulic attachments, handles,
hinges, air locks, protection roof)
- Do not overturn the sections as you may otherwise
break internal supports, components and dampers
- Do not subject the Unit to violent impacts as you may
damage its integrity
- If a forklift truck is used during the loading, unloading
and handling operations, the forks of the truck must be
at least the same length as the unit to ensure stability
(fig. 1)
- if the Air Treatment Unit is fitted with a continuous
steel base, handling may be accomplished with a crane,
using cables firmly secured to rods (sufficient for the
stress involved) passing through the holes provided in
the base.
