Safety instructions
Safety Precautions
Inside the operation and maintenance manual there is advice for instructions important for safety.
Follow exactly emphasised advice to exclude danger on body and life as impairments of the machine
or other assets.
2.2
The machine has been built in accordance with state-of-the art standards and the recognised safety
rules. Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or of third parties, or
cause damage to the machine and to other material property.
The machine must only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance with its intended use
and the instructions set out in the operating manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who are
fully aware of the risks involved in operating the machine. Any functional disorders, especially those
affecting the safety of the machine, should therefore be rectified immediately.
The machine is designed exclusively for reclaiming of bulk material more mentioned in the technical
specification. Using the machine for purposes other than those mentioned above is considered contrary to its intended use. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such
use. The risk of such misuse lies entirely with the user. Operating the machine within the limits of its
intended use also involves observing the instructions set out in the operating manual and complying
with the inspection and maintenance directives.
2.3
Organised measures
The operating instructions must always be at hand at the place of use of the machine.
In addition to the operating instructions, observe and instruct the user in all other generally applicable
legal and other mandatory regulations relevant to accident prevention and environmental protection.
These compulsory regulations may also deal with the handling of hazardous substances, issuing and
/ or wearing of personal protective equipment.
The operating instructions must be supplemented by instructions covering the duties involved in supervising and notifying special organisational features, such as job organisation, working sequences
or the personnel entrusted with the work.
Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must have read the operating instructions and in particular the chapter on safety before beginning work. Reading the instructions after work has begun is
too late. This applies especially to persons working only occasionally on the machine, e.g. during setting up or maintenance.
Check at least from time to time whether the personnel is carrying out the work in compliance with
the operating instructions and paying attention to risks and safety factors.
For reasons of security, garments must be close-fitting. Injury may result from being caught up in the
machinery or catching on moving parts.

When the Tippler is at rail level (0 rotation) the platform rests on land mounted supports which ensure correct alignment of the platform rails with the land rails on the entry and exit ends.
Return
Direction
As the Tippler starts to rotate in the tip direction, the platform is raised clear of its land mounted supports by a pivot pin/housing assembly mounted at each end of the platform and end rings respectively. As the Tippler rotates further, the platform with wagon tilts, until the wagon side makes contact with
the Tippler side beam (fixed blocking). After the wagon has made contact with the side beam, the
wagon, platform, side beam and end rings rotate as a single assembly.

The side beam is a heavy duty welded box section fabrication with internal diaphragms, bolted between the end rings with high strength bolts to form a rigid rotating structure. This assembly plus the
drive racks, have been shop trial assembled and dimensionally inspected/verified against a Schade
shop assembly drawing. Before dismantling for transport to site, all bolted joints arewill be match
marked to ensure correct re assembly at site.
The end rings include steel plate counterweights which balance the mass of the platform and wagon
during rotation, and therefore minimise the drive power requirements.
The main pivot bearing housings will be held in place by cast-in foundation studs. Once correctly
aligned on site assembly, the bearing housings will be supported on full strength grout.

During initial Tippler rotation in the tip direction, the clamp beams lower under hydraulic control to
contact the top of the full wagon, and after that contact with the wagon, the clamp assemblies, wagon
and Tippler structure are rotated as a single assembly. The clamp assemblies are applied by hydraulic cylinders. The cylinders include a secondary relieving piston that ensures the compressed wagon
spring forces are relieved and not transmitted into the Tippler clamps and structures.
Each cylinder includes clamps raised limit switch, clamps contacting wagon pressure switch and cylinders locked pressure switch. The cylinder stroke is sufficient to clamp wagons between 3045mm
and 2554mm high.
Note
The clamp cylinder design is based on loads generated when supporting the
wagon dead load (25 tonnes) plus retained sticky Copper Concentrate of up to
10 x t tonnes (i.e. 10% of maximum wagon payload) at Tippler maximum tip
angle. The recommended minimum cylinder factor of safety against buckling
(3:1) is obtained with this load combination. Schade must be advised if the
sticky material not discharging from the wagons will exceed 10%.
Vibrators are mounted on the clamp beams to assist in unloading any sticky retained payload. The
dynamic effect of these vibrators is included in the clamp design.
Note
The use of vibrators is not guaranteed to empty wagons with sticky material
that does not free flow from the wagon.

The drive units are situated in the pit below the Tippler. The pinions on each of the drive units mesh
with the end ring drive racks. Jacking screws are fitted to the drive base to enable correct alignment
of the drive pinions and rack during installation. Once correctly aligned, the drive bases will be supported on full strength grout.
Cross line relief valves are fitted to the drive hydraulic circuit. The speed, acceleration and deceleration are controlled by means of an electronic speed control card. The system will fail safe if there is a
loss of control voltage or sudden loss of fluid. The operation of the hydraulic motor brakes is initiated
by normal travel switch being tripped.
The hydraulic system proposed is by BOSCH REXROTH (in line with their previous Pivot Frame Tippler installations operating in similar ambient conditions) and ensures full motor/pinion load sharing
(for improved Tippler rack life) plus full overload sensing via pump setting and pressure relief valves.
The system has full acceleration and deceleration control (3 second ramps), and is capable of stopping/holding/restarting the Tippler at any tip angle under full control.
Due to the operating environment, the drive motors include an additional harsh environment seal at
the output pinion.

Lubrication
All bearings and seals that require grease lubrication will be piped to one of a number of centralised
automatic lubrication systems. The lubrication cycle intervals will be based on the bearing
loads/speeds and in conjunction with the bearing supplier for the Main Pivot spherical roller bearings.
The principle of operation will be that new grease is pumped into to centre of the bearing or plain
bush, which pushes the old grease out through the seals.
3.6
The Dust Control System is water dust suppression which will include a series of spray nozzles
mounted around the tipped material area, plus all the necessary valves and filters. The system will be
interlocked with the Tippler such that it operates during the Tippler cycle.

Function sequence
Wagons are positioned onto the Tippler platform by a means of a locomotive.
When rotation begins, the Tippler end rings permit the platform to tilt toward the side support
beam until the side of the wagon body makes contact with the side beam (fixed blocking), which is
a structure fitted between the end rings. As rotation continues, three hydraulically applied clamps,
which are attached to the side beam, engage the top of the wagon body, holding the wagon securely to the platform. The Tippler rotates to its fully tipped angle, and after a pause to ensure
complete discharge of the payload the Tippler is reversed to return the empty wagon to rail level.
Tip Direction
Return Direction
Spillage into areas other than the discharge area is minimised by spill plates located on the side
beam.
An encoder, driven from one of the Tippler drive modules, controls the Tippler rotational limits and
limit switches provide overtravel backup.
To ensure that empty wagons on the exit end of the Tippler do not roll back onto the Tippler, a
manual Wagon Run Back Stop is located against the main track rails.
The exit track has a dawnhill gradient esurig that the empt wagons roll away from the Tippler.

With the last full wagon stopped at the designated position on the Tippler (the empty/dummy wagon in
front of the locomotive is part on the Tippler), the railway operator(s) then release the front coupler of
the empty/dummy wagon (this is the nearside lever) and instructs the locomotive driver to reverse
back until the empty/dummy wagon is clear of the entry ultrasonic sensor and aoutside the building.
[____]= empty/dummy
The railway operator(s) then signal (via an audible horn) to the plant operator that the Tippler can tip
From the control room the plant operator starts the Tippler. With no further input from the plant
operator, the Tippler tips the last wagon to unload the copper concentrate, pauses at the fully tipped
position and then returns the wagon to rail level.
[____]= empty/dummy
The plant operator signals (via an audible horn) to the railway operator(s) that the Tippler cycle for the
last wagon is complete, and it can be pushed off the Tippler.
The railway operator(s) check that both the rear coupler of the last (tipped) wagon and the front
coupler of the empty/dummy wagon are both closed. This is to ensure that the wagons do not
automatically re couple when they contact.
The railway operator(s) set the traffic lights to blue and instructs the locomotive driver (via radio) to
push the empty/dummy wagon forward and stop after hitting the last wagon and pushing it off the
Tippler.
