GEA Farm Technologies | 24 7. Parts/Info This part contains all spare parts of GEA Farm Technilogies which could be important for you. Here you can search for spare parts, request further and order them. 7.1 Search for parts You have several possibilities to search for parts. You can search by our product tree (see 7.1.1) or even directly search for parts. (see 7.1.2.) 7.1.1 Search by the help of the product catalog (PSC) On the left, you can search for items by using the product catalog list and by clicking on a product type. It will open up more options until you get to item level. Installations Spare parts Generally the components can be found in the field of the installations. This means: here one finds e.g. the complete vacuum or milk pumps which can also be ordered generally/currently in the configuration of an installation. You will not find an old „Autotronic“ pulsator here. Often, exploded drawings of components which are helpful for the further search are stored here. The area spare parts is sub-divided in a more detailed form. For example in the field of “Spare Parts Milking Equipment“, it is subdivided in functions per milking parlour component. Here, one can easily find parts for an “Autotronic” pulsator which can still be ordered. In the field of the spare parts, there are parts which can only be found in one particular component (special parts) or parts which are used in various ways - that means in various components (general/others). Now, you have different options to find parts if you do not know exactly the material number or description. Either you choose point spare parts directly or you navigate through the component fields. GEA Farm Technologies | 25 a. Search path via the menu item “Installations” The valve cone Vacurex 5000 is searched 1. 2. 3. Click on the drawing Go on navigating through the search tree, until you get to the item level: Cursor moved over „20“: valve core is highlighted Hint: If you push the buttons “Strg“ and “+“ (enlarge) or “Strg“ and “-“ (downsize) at the same time, the display detail is enlarged or downsized! Here, an example for the vacuum technology is shown: GEA Farm Technologies | 26 b. Search path directly via the menu item “Spare parts” When searching via the product catalog the “search path” is always shown above the products which were found: Within the “search path”, you can directly go back and modify your search in order to search your required parts in another search area e.g. animal comfort – ventilators - other variants. In order to search in excess of the current categorie, use the drop-down menu on the right of “search” and change to “global search”. In this case the complete field of components and spare parts is browsed. Note - limit search – global search On the right side you see a box which is limiting your search to the categogie where you are in right now. This will improve your search and will save time because you are searching only in one special area. If you want to search in all products of GEA Farm Technologies again please change to “global search”. GEA Farm Technologies | 27 7.1.2 Full-text search The search criterion is entered at the surpreme level for an effective search. In order to do so, one has to click on Start, so that the whole search tree can be seen. Now you can enter every incomplete search criterion in the search box, sizes/dimensions or part numbers (or a combination of that) by using one or more asteriks (*). If you want to search for parts but you only know part of the search criterion, please write an asterisk (*) after the word. In the example above we search for pulsators. If you enter an asterisk in front of the word additionally, all articles containing the word pulsator are listed. You also have the possibility to combine several serach criterions. If you search for all “diodes“ with “40A“, please enter an * in front of and after the word “diode“, as well as an * in front of and after “40A“. There should be two blanks between the asterisks. The same procedure can be applied for part numbers and incomplete part numbers. Examples: You search for all “illuminating diodes“ You search for all “diodes“: Further limitation by combining the search words: GEA Farm Technologies | 28 You can also combine parts numbers and descriptions in order to speed up the search process: You can also enter just a part of the part number with * and description Note The deeper you go into the search area, the more limited the search for parts is. If you only want to search for pulsators in the field of “Constant Cows” for example, the system only searches there. The advantage is that you get a result very quickly as the sytem only serarches for a few part numbers in a narrow field. But you can also opt for a search in the complete product catalogue by changing the search into “global search“ (drop-down menu): The search takes a longer time as the system browses the complete field of components and spare parts. But this way, all parts which start with “Pulsat“ are listed . GEA Farm Technologies | 29 7.1.3 Symbols In the product catalogue, several symbols are used which will be explained here briefly.Depending on the products different symbols will appear. Additionally to the symbols, these information are displayed for each part: part number, description, material dimensions, weight, discount group and price.
