Utility Requirements
Electrical Power Input: 460V, 60 hz, 3-phase standard 200v - 575v, 50hz or
60hz, 3-phase available on request
Approximate power consumption: 20 KVA.
All wiring conforms to NFPA. Build to special or IEC (CE) codes available.
Compressed Air Supply pressure to be 65 to 85 PSI (4.48 to 5.86 bars) Air
consumption is approximately 1 cubic foot per hour (for intermittent hopper
tilt and hopper latch cylinder operation)
Process Water Supply pressure to be 20 to 50 PSI (1.38 to 3.45 Bars)
Maximum consumption rate during machine operation is 6 GPH, for metal
belt and roller cleaners (22.7 liters/hour). A solenoid valve limits water
spray application to periods of machine operation only. Requires clean
water source with minimum mineral solids content connected to 1/2 inch
NPT inlet cartridge filter.
Note:
1) Drainage required at Paster for process water and machine wash-down
water.
2) Daily machine wash-down is recommended using highpressure water.
(900 - 1200 PSI or 62 to 82 Bars, at about 2 gallons or 7.57 liters / minute
rate)

Factors and conditions affecting the pasting processes
Paste Preparation
The phase composition of the pastes prepared by using different acid concentrations was
reported58. The addition of 1% H2SO4 (H2SO4:PbO), sp. gr. 1.4 at 30°C gave a small amount of
3BS, while 6% H2SO4 gave 3BS with small amounts of -PbO and -PbO. The higher H2SO4
concentration, 12% favoured the presence of PbO.PbSO 4 (BS), 3BS with small amounts of -
PbO.
Zerroual et al. 50 studied the influence of the initial amount of sulphuric acid added to
leady oxide powder using XRD, SEM, IR and wet chemical analysis. It was observed that up to
5% sulphuric acid (H2SO4:PbO) and at 70°C, 3BS is the major phase which was formed in the
paste. Above 8% H2SO4, 3BS compound disappeared progressively and became PbO.PbSO 4.
Due to insufficient addition and poor mixing of acid to the leady oxide, the following species
were detected 60,61 in the paste : Pb, PbO , Pb3O4, PbOn.H2O , BS, 3BS and 4BS
