of a vortex, thus each particle is subject to two
forces, firstly, centrifugal force and, secondly,
the inward flow of liquid towards the vortex

centrifugal force exceeds that produced by the
inward flow of liquid, thus the larger particles
are thrown outwards and discharged through
the spigot. The finer particles are carried by
the inward flow of the liquid to the vortex finder.

Motor Rotation
Before the belts are fitted or the couplings
are connected, the direction of rotation of
the motor must be checked. Incorrect
motor rotation can cause the impeller to
screw off and destroy the pump.

Tension Vee-Belts
When the motors direction of rotation is
correct, fit the Vee-belts and tension them in
accordance with the manufacturer‘s
recommendation. In general, a quarter to a
half twist of the belt will be possible at the
centre of the belt using a finger and a thumb.
Check the tension again after a few hours
running.

Belt Guard
The Belt guard provided with this pump unit is
manufactured with the shaft aperture fully
closed with mesh. On installation of the vee
belt drive and determination of pulley centres,
the shaft guard is offered up and the mesh
relieved locally to allow the shafts to pass
through. Allowance may be required for
movement of shafts when belt tensioning.

machine screen specification.

2. The design of the Velco Screen provides for


a well - balanced unit, and no items should be
fitted to or removed from the screen without
consulting the relevant Linatex personnel.

3.1 Ensure that the inner weights at both ends


of the motor shafts are set to the required
percentage setting at precisely the same value
as indicated by the marking lines as laid out on
the graduated matal strip. Any unequal setting
of the weights will generate transverse forces
resulting in serious damage and reduced screen
life.

4. The unit must be aligned and levelled across


both width and length of unit before anchoring
and operation.

5. The feeder should not be overloaded.

6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Be sure


that the motor is connected for the proper
voltage and that the ground wires are properly
fastened. There must be slack in the electrical
cable leading from the drive motor/s, and care
must be taken to prevent cable from contacting
drive covers or stationary steel. If unit was in
storage, then check the motor maintenance
section in this manual for possible motor testing
before energising the motor.

All hydraulic power units must be installed in


the manner for which they are designed and
ideally housed indoors in a cool, clean
environment. If installation is necessary
outdoors check that the unit has suitable
weatherproof protection and in any event is
suitated under a canopy.

mounted on the electric motor fan cover.

3.All electrical solenoids must be controlled


by a suitable voltage supply.

4.Unless requested otherwise, a control panel


starter will not be supplied. In any event, the
mains supply must have an isolator intalled as
close to the powerunit as practical.

5.Unless specically requested your system will


have a fixed delivery pump which must be left
off load at the end of it‘s cycle.
Should this not be done, excessive
overheating of the oil will occur and major
damage of all components might take place.

5.24 Electrical connection

1. Factory fitted flexible trailing


cables approximately a metre and a
half in length, are used to connect
each vibartor motor. The cables
should swing freely and not touch any
part of the machine or supporting
structure.

2. Check voltage requirment and


ensure that motors are running in the
correct direction. The two motors
must run in opposite directions, as
shown on the counterweight guards.
Both motors must be connected to a
common starter.

3. Always provide an emergency


stop control next to the vibrating
screen. Suitable overload protection
should be provided and arranged
that, should one trip out, the second
unit will cut out automatically.
If remote start station is used, a start
warning device should be installed
next to the screen, to warn personnel
to stand clear.

produces a linear vibrating motion.
By adjustment of the counterweights,
the amplitude of vibration may be
varied from 3-4mm stroke (peak to
peak) for 4-pole execution and 7
10mm (peak to peak) for pole
execution.

The screen is rubber buffer or coil


spring mounted for good vibration
insulation. Subframes can be fitted
for additional vibration absorbtion.

When stopping the machine, first stop


the material feed onto the screen, and
then allow the screen to run for a few
minutes to clear all the material
before switching off the motors.

Before starting the machine, make


sure the screen is empty.

To optimise the dewatering


operation, an adjustable weir is fitted
at the discharge end of the screen.
The weir shopuld be raised or
lowered to control the rate of travel
of material on the screen. In general,
a slower rate of travel will give better
dewatering.

8.10.1 No Discharge When Pump Runs
(Continued)

Installation Faults

Failure to discharge on start-up can be caused


by installation faults of which the commonest is
inadequate sump capacity. The result of
installing a sump with inadequate capacity is to
risk repeated air locks of the pump. This can
happen when the pump reduces the water
level, either allowing a vortex to form - which
air locks the pump - or (when water is
introduced to the sump) it entrains so much air
that it produces the same effect.
A small sump can easily prevent any discharge
reaching the end of the pump discharge line.
The only remedy is to extend the sump
capacity. We recommend sumps of at least
one minute‘s pumping time as a bare minimum.
(This recommendation does not apply to feed
regulating sumps in sand plants where greater
capacity is required).

Air Entrainment
In sump-fed pump systems air entrainment with
the pump feed can produce periodic overloads
on the motor by the following sequence of
events:

1. Air entrainment with feed gives the pump a


“spongy“ pulp which reduces the pump
throughput and power.
2. Flow through the sump is reduced allowing
air in the feed now entering the sump to escape
to surface. Solids, of course, reach the pump
suction.
3. The pump now has a largely de-aired pulp
of far greater percentage solids than intended,

pump duty may have to be split up, and a two
stage pumpset installed. Each pump will run at
about 70% of the speed of a single unit for the
same duty and this speed reduction will make
a very significant change to the abrasion rate.

Shaft Misalignment
After some years of service it occasionally
happens that the saddles on the pedestal
which support the bearing housing get worn
and thus allow the shaft to point downwards.
If this problem is severe enough the
eccentricity of the shaft through the gland will
be such that the gland will not seal properly.
A further problem will be that there will be a
misalignment between the eye of the impeller
and the suction bush, which will detract from
pump performance. If this happens, the best
answer is to buy a new pedestal.
This will almost certainly be cheaper and
quicker than trying to build up the saddles and
then rematching. A temporary expedient is to
pack the saddles with shims, but inevitably
these get lost during impeller adjustment.

8.30 Grade 8.8 Torque Values

All bolted connections on the screen


frame must be checked after the first 24
hours operation, subsequently at
monthly intervals. Loose connections
cause disturbing noises and damage to
the screen frame. Stop the screen
immediately, ascertain the cause, and
remedy it.

Only high tensile bolts have been used


in the construction of the screen. The
grade of the bolt is 8.8 and that of the
nut 8. The nuts used are of the
Clevelock / Stover Type. Alternatively
the Huck C50L System can be used.
When replacing and checking bolts, a
torque wrench should be used and the
following torques applied.

Whenever maintenance requires


removal of high strength bolting, be
certain that standard bolts are not
calibrated torque wrench.

All fasteners must be regularly checked


to ensure tightness to the proper torque
value. The following chart offers correct
torque values when bolting mild steel to
mild steel according to bolt diameter
and by turning the nut while holding the
head of the bolt with a wrench. If the
application demands tightening by the
bolt head, increase the value shown by
20% (multiply by 1.20).
When bolting cast iron motor feet to
mild steel decrease the value by 20%.

IMPORTANT! Tightening when bolt
threads are lubricated.

When using an Impact Wrench DO


NOT run up nut to the torque value in
one operation cycle of the Impact
Wrench. When the threads are
lubricated, the nut has less resistance
and the power of the Impact Wrench
will spin the nut faster than when on dry
threads. The faster nut spin speed is fast
enough to cause a ramming force
powerful enough to damage the bolt
and /or nut.

Run up nut in separate pulse cycles until


contact is made and is snug tight to the
parts being bolted, then tighten to the
Torque Value.

8.35 Bleeding the air from the system

Air in a hydraulic system will seriously affect


the performance and durabilty of the oil in
severe cases, usually when the air enters the
pump causing oxidisation, can cause
catastrophic damage.

1. As a general guide it should be done at


the hihest point in the circuit and / or at any
point, for reasons of installation, that might
form an air lock.

2. When a cyclinder is connected to a circuit,


it must be bled before connection to the
mechanism it operates.

3. Always reduce the pressure relief valve


and with pipe connections tight, reciporate
four or five times to separate the air and oil.

4. Slacken the rod end pipe connection and


actuate the cyclinder until the air bubbling
ceases and only oil is emitted. When the
piston rod is fully retracted retightened the
pipe connection.

5. Slacken the tube end pipe coonection and


proceed as un 7.4 above but retighten the
pipe connection when the pistion rod is fully
extended.

6.Finally couple the cyclinder to the


mechanism, set the pressure relief valve(s)
to the working pressure and reciprocate a
further four or five times.

8.36 General Circuit Requirements

However carefully hdraulic oil is stored or


handled, there is a possibility that samll
particles of debris might find their was into the
hydraulic system. Oil filters are the most
important part of a system to prevent failure
and to achieve consistent operation.

1. Suction strainers are housed in the reservoir


and must be cleaned every three months and
replaced at least every twelve months.

2.A return line filter will be fitted and this must


be checked at least every month and replaced
with new elements as required.

3.If the local environment is known to be


particularly hostile then more frequent checks
should be made.

4. The majority of systems use a fixed delivery


pump which has a solenoid controlled un-
loader valve to achieve an unloaded pump
condition at the end of evry cycle. This must
be done to prevent excessive overheating.

5. A low oil level warning switch, is strongly


recommended to be fitted to all hydraulic
power units.

In general, hydraulic oil temperatures of upto


60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit )
are acceptable for standard mineral oils
equivalent to Shell Tellus 32 Grade.
