1.0 Safety
Warning
Hydraulic oil may cause eye, skin or respiratory irritation. High-pressure
injection under skin may cause serious damage.
When hydraulic oil is filled or refilled to the hydraulic tank, Safety Data
Sheets for the oil must be obtained and the safety procedure must be
followed when working with hydraulic oil.
Warning
Pressurized oil leaks can be extremely dangerous and cause serious
person injury or even death if injected under skin.
To minimize risks of pressure leaks, all hydraulic connections must be
securely fastened. During pressure test, all personnel must keep a safe
distance to all hydraulic equipment and wear visor.
Never use hands to locate a leak.
Leaking joint may ONLY be tightened when the hydraulic system is
completely depressurized.
Warning
If hydraulic hoses connecting to e.g. the hydraulic cylinders are leaking,
the risk of fire is available.
Hydraulic oil flow must be stopped immediately and the ball valves
nearest must be shut off before replacing or tightening the leaking part.
Warning
In the hydraulic room the risk of fire and explosion is available.
Always keep the hydraulic room and hydraulic power unit clean and free
from spillage oil.
The pressure accumulators to be precharged ONLY with dry nitrogen (N2)
Smoking is prohibited.
Warning
Risk of injury from hydraulic components e.g. uncontrolled hoses being
disassembled with pressurized oil inside.
Disassembling hydraulic connections must only occur when hydraulic
system is completely depressurized.
As a further safety precaution, only loosen the union on hydraulic connec-
tions e.g. connection between hose and hydraulic motor one turn before
loosening the hose from the connection. When this is done and it has
been confirmed that no pressurized oil is inside, the union can be com-
pletely loosened.

Each pump unit consists of a main pump (310) - Appendix 1- with a built-on pro-
portional valve and a combined servo- and boost pump on the same shaft. During
operation, only one pump unit is running for each drive, whereas the last unit
serves as a backup unit for the normal pumps in active operation.
All pumps are identical, being operated at a speed depending on the frequency 50
or 60 HZ.
The main pump is an electrically-operated axial piston pump featuring variable
output and reversibility of pump direction. The output of the pump and the direction
in which the pump is operated are determined by the position of a "rocker cam,
the setting - angling - of which will determine the oil flow rate of the pump and
whether the pump is to be utilized for port A or B.
The hydraulic system is based on a closed circuit principal. When the pump is
angling to the one side, oil will move the cylinders in one direction. At the same
time, oil from the opposite cylinder port, is directed back to the pump. When the
pump is angling to the other side, the situation is just opposite and the cylinders
are moved in the other direction.
To ensure that the oil is replaced at the cylinders, bleed-off valves are installed just
after the last cylinder in each line. The valve lets approximately 20% of the oil flow
back to tank.
The output of the main pumps is controlled by the PLC controller, via the propor-
tional valves of the pumps.
The tank is equipped with a hand pump (190) which can be connected to the pipe
sections towards the cylinders so that the latter can be moved manually when the
pump station is inoperative, for example in connection with maintenance work
involving the movable frames of the cooler.
The stand-by pump is switch in electrically from the Local Control Panel (LCP). This
is done through the switch-over-block (500).
Ball valves (505) are for maintenance only and are equipped with brackets for
padlock.

Linear transducers are fitted on each of the movable drives. They continuously
provide the PLC unit with specific position of the drives.
Based upon the positional indications of the cylinders, the PLC unit releases a signal
to the main pumps when a reversal in the direction of pumping, and thus the
directional movement of the piston, is to be made.
All the drives are identical, but must be operated independently of one another. A
drive is driven by cylinders connected in a row. One of the position transducers
continuously feeds a signal to the PLC unit to determine the exact timing for the
reversal of movement. The second transducer is used as a back-up unit and for
alarm tripping if there is no movement of the drive.
The total stroke length of the cylinders is 340 mm, of which only 300 mm is nor-
mally required by the drive, thus leaving 20 mm at either end as an oil cushion and
as a reserve for conveyance. Therefore, shock impacts in the system resulting from
the piston striking against the ends of the cylinder will not occur.
When the transducer indicates that, for example, 15 mm of the movement of 300
mm remains to be completed, the PLC unit will begin, via the proportional control
valve, to slow down the cylinder; the output of the pump will bring the drive to a
standstill, by the rocker cam being turned to neutral position while completing the
remaining 15 mm.
However, the "rocker cam" of the pump does not stop at the zero-point, but contin-
ues in the same direction until its position is reversed, causing oil to be pumped in
the opposite direction.
This will lead to a change in the direction of movement of the cylinders, causing
them to accelerate to the same velocity in the opposite direction.
The cylinders are installed with every second, pushing in the opposite direction,
ensuring an identical velocity of the conveying and return stroke of the drive.
The forces required to push the clinker forward and to pull the drive backward
through the clinker layer are not of equal strength. Therefore, there will be a slight
difference in the pressure in the two directions.
The two pipelines carrying the oil for all the cylinders of a drive are equipped after
the last cylinder - with a bleed-off valve (flushing valve) (0050). See Appendix 4
This is to prevent the same oil from being circulated from the pump to the cylin-
ders.

The bleed-off valve is governed by the differential pressure between the input flow
and the return flow in the main circuit.
When the differential pressure of the movement exceeds a level of 16 bar, the
bleed-off valve opens and directs oil to the tank through the primary water oil
cooler (140) and the double return line filter (150), see Appendix 3
The pressure on the low-pressure side is then determined by the booster pump and
the pressure loss in the pipelines.
From the tank, fresh oil is constantly fed to the circuits via the internal booster
pump in the main pump (310).
The booster pump ensures that a sufficient oil volume is constantly maintained on
the suction side of the main pump. To further ensure that this is the case, a hy-
draulic accumulator (460) is incorporated between the booster pump and main
pump to ensure that the necessary quantity of oil is present in case of rapid flow
variations.
The additional booster oil for the main pumps is ensured by an internal pressure
relief valve set at 35 bar.
To maintain required quality of the oil, the oil is continuously circulated with the
pump (225) and are cleaned and cooled via the circulation filter (155) and the
secondary water oil cooler (240).
At the same time, the pump supplies the main pump housing with warm filtered oil,
which extent lifetime for the bearings.
Furthermore the pump is used to fill up the reservoir with suction hose (4210) and
to empty it with drain hose (4237). See Appendix 3
The condition circuit is running continuously when the main pumps are running. At
least 24 hours prior to a main pump start-up, the conditioning circuit must be
started.
At any kiln shut down of short duration, the conditioning circuit should remain in
operation to maintain the oil temperature.
At least 24 hours prior to a main pump start-up, the conditioning circuit must be
started.
At any start-up and production situation, the hydraulic equipment and room is
designed for minimum 0C. The circulation pump can be started at any tempera-
ture beyond this level.

the main pump; the position of the rocker cam will determine the pump output as
well as the direction of oil flow to A or B.
The preset pressure of the oil for the proportional control valve must ensure that
the operating speed of the valve is sufficient. Surplus servo oil is directed to the
booster system.
Attention
If any parts of the servo- or booster oil circuit require dismantling, it will
be necessary to relieve the accumulator pressure prior to dismantling.
Normally, the pressure will be eliminated quickly through the accumulator
safety block, and the pressure (0 bar) can be read on pressure gauge
(471).
A final manual releasing for safety reason is recommended. Round handle
on accumulator safety block (465) must be open for releasing the pres-
sure in maintenance situations
Level switch (125) will trip first a warning alarm and later it will stop the electric
motors if the oil level is too low. The oil level can be visually inspected through oil
level glass (120)
The booster pressure is monitored from the pressure transmitters (318). The main
pump stops in case of a pressure drop to level below 15 bar.
The booster pressure can be observed on pressure gauge (471).
The ball valves (305) ahead of the pumps are equipped with switches for interlock-
ing the pump motors.
All filters are equipped with differential pressure controllers for tripping of alarm in
case of clogged filters.
At the bottom of the tank there is a drain valve for collecting condensation, if any.
When the plant is in normal operation, the oil temperature will be high enough to

prevent condensation, but collection of condensation in the tank may occur during
the periods when the plant is at standstill.
If Water detector is an option on the specific pump station, there will be two
alarms. The first alarm is a prewarning if the water content exceeds the prewarning
level. The second one is a full stop.
If particle counter is an option on the specific pump station, there will be two
alarms. The first alarm is a prewarning if the oil cleanliness exceeds the prewarning
level. The second one is a full stop.
The block for stand-by unit, for changing between main pump and stand-by pump,
is electrically controlled. This means that a change from main pump to stand-by
pump is done only by using the Local Control Panel (LCP).
Ball valves are located between pumps and cylinders for shutting off. The valves
have no micro switches for monitoring the position. They are only for safety reason,
when isolation on a specific pump prior to maintenance is required.

4.0 Installation
Installation to be carried out in accordance with drawings and pipe diagrams and
otherwise as directed in the instruction manual 19871, HYDRAULIC PLANTS, and
suppliers manual.
However, we normally recommend that pipe bends is used whereas the use of
angles must be avoided.
The pump station is normally shipped in a container and it must not be removed
from the container until installation of unit at site is imminent. If the pump station
is shipped in the unpacked condition (which is sometimes the case for certain
destinations), the unit must be kept in a dry place and must be protected against
dust in a store room up to the point of installation. This also applies for the electri-
cal cabinet and pipes and loose fittings.
The hydraulic pump and motor number 1 (nearest the tank on the pump station)
must be connected to the cylinders on the left-hand side of the cooler (viewed in
direction towards the cooler outlet).
For port connection, please follow diagram carefully in vendor instruction.
(One pump drives one driveline).
Place screwed connections for aeration in the pipes situated at the highest loca-
tions.
Do not remove the plugs in the cylinders and do not connect them to the pipe
system until the system has been flushed and is ready to be pressure tested.
Otherwise there is a risk of contaminating the cylinders.
Keep all plugs for future maintenance!
Attention
The hydraulic pump and motor number 1 (nearest the tank on the pump
station) must be connected to the cylinders on the left-hand side of the
cooler.

5.0 Operation
Oil grade VG 46 is recommended for operation with the oil temperature maintained
within the range 55-60 C. If a lighter or heavier type of oil is deemed to be more
appropriate, the oil temperature must be adapted to the new oil type. See data for
pump in suppliers manual. Data and settings in suppliers manual always overrule
data or settings in this manual.
Oil filling must only be done using the pump (225) as follows:
a) Check that hose and quick release connections are clean. The hose is located
at the pump station.
b) Establish a hose connection between the suction side of pump (225) and the
oil drum.
c) Place the free end of the hose in the barrel containing the fresh oil.
d) Close all suction valves on the tank and supporting structure. Place a bucket
under the drain valve at the bottom of the tank and open it, for draining any
accumulated water.
e) Close all valves (313) leading into the main pumps, preventing air from
entering the main pumps.
f) Make sure that 3-way ball valve (210) is shutting of suction line from the
tank.
h) Start the filling operation and stop the pump when suction is done from an
empty barrel; the sounds emitted will clearly indicate whether the barrel is
empty.
i) Fill the tank to the upper mark on the oil level glass (120).
Stop the pump (225) and disconnect the filling hose.
j) Position the 3-way ball valve (210) so that pump is being supplied with oil
from the tank.

Attentions is drawn to the fact that fresh oil is NOT clean, and therefore,
the pump (225) must be started and remain in operation for some time,
since this will cause the oil to be returned through the filters and cleaned
prior to any transmission of the oil to the cylinders. Filtration of the oil also
takes place by circulating it through the main pumps, but use of the filter
(165) should be avoided at this point so valves (311) are to remain closed
until the pump (200) and the filters (150) have removed impurities from
the new oil.
See details in subsequent section.
Normally, this level of cleanliness can only be achieved by using a special filter
pump equipped with the necessary equipment for ensuring rapid pressure and flow
variations in order to dislodge impurities and rust in the pipe system (flushing
system). This flushing procedure is strongly recommended by FLS.
Fresh oil does not have the necessary degree of cleanliness, and, therefore, the oil
must be cleaned after being charged to the system.
The circulation pump (225) is used to clean the oil in the tank and the equipment
on the pump station by diverting the oil through the filter (155). Meanwhile the oil
is heated with the heating element to the highest possible level (preferable 60C).
The pump must be maintained in operation until the system has been effectively
cleaned. Minimum 24 hours for the filtration sequence.
Requirements in terms of cleanliness: ISO 4406, class 18/16/13.
When the filtration process is completed and all pipes are cleaned manually with
clean rags and dry compressed air, then the flushing can begin. Start with cold oil
app. 20C and let it during the flushing process heat up to the highest possible
temperature (preferably 60 C)
If the pump station is with Particle counter as option, the flushing can be carried
out with the standby pump. In this case, the flushing can be stopped when level of
cleanliness is two codes below system requirements.

and may not be duplicated, disclosed or utilized without written consent from FLSmidth.
FLSmidth Cross-Bar Cooler

If the pump station is without Particle as option, FLS recommend flushing with an
external flushing unit for at least 24 hours or until oil samples is acceptable two
codes below system requirements.
Attention
The plugs in the cylinders must remain fitted until flushing of the pipelines
has been carried out.
Attention
The pump will sustain severe damage if contaminated oil is re-circulated
to the pump, or if they are not filled prior to start-up. Use only clean
filtered oil.
The next step involves selection of the drive and pipe system which are to be
flushed first.
The ball valves (7240) on Appendix 4 must be connected to the two hoses (7251),
which in term will be connected to the cylinders at the subsequent operational
stage of the plant. The hoses (7212) near the shuttle valve must be connected to
the ball valve (7215) so that all oil is forced back to the pump, in order to prevent
contaminated oil from reaching the shuttle valve (0050). In the beginning all ball
valves (7240) must be closed, and the valve (7215) must be open. Please refer to
Appendix 4
To determine whether the angling of the standby pump is correct, the pump must
first be jog-started with closed ball valves (7107) and the rotational direction of the
motor must be checked.
If noise is emitted by the pumps at subsequent stage when they become operation-
al, a check is needed to determine that they are filled with oil, accompanied by a
cautious relaxation of the drain ports until outflow of oil is observed.
The ball valves (7107) must be kept closed, and subsequently the pump is started
without angling, with the pump being cautiously angled until it has been definitely
established at which side of the pump angling is to take place. This can be deter-
mined by touching the hoses, or by checking the pressure gauge (510) when the
pump delivers oil to port B. This must be done with a low maximum pressure which
is adjusted on the local control panel.
The pump can then be started without angling, with subsequent opening of the ball
valves (7107) in direction from the standby pump to the pipe section which is to be
flushed, thereby initiating the flushing procedure. The rate of angling of the pump is
slowly increased towards the maximum limit while the oil pressure and filter are
closely monitored. After the oil has been cleaned, the ball valves (7240) at the
cylinders must be opened one by one, starting with the cylinder in immediate
proximity of the shuttle valve. When the first valve (7240) has been opened the
valve (7215) at the shuttle valve must be closed. Only one ball valve (7240) is to
be open at any one time however, see information subsequently provided in this
section. After the oil has been cleaned, the ball valve (1150) is cautiously opened at

the next cylinder from the shuttle valve, and (7240) nearest the shuttle valve is
cautiously closed. The procedure is repeated for the hoses for all the cylinders in a
row, with only one hose opened at any one time and in the exact sequence from
the shuttle valve.
Now the pipes must be pressure tested. Open all valves (7240) and (7215) at the
shuttle valve (0050), close the valve (7107) in the A line only.
Only close valve in A-line, when pressure testing. All pipes will then have
pressure except the line from valve (7107) to the flushing filter at the
pump station.
Pressure test the lines up to 250 bar and the pump must be angled to same
side as when flushing, port B (VERY IMPOTRTANT). Otherwise only the
hose from the A port will be pressure tested.
Attention
Throughout pressure testing, one person must be ready at the emergency
stop so the pump can be stopped immediately in case of severe leakage
from a pipe joint.
Warning
Wear protective glasses and keep unauthorized personnel away from the
pipes. When pressure testing is being conducted, the operating personnel
must be a safe distance away from the pipe system to eliminate the risk of
injuries to skin and/or eyes.
The remaining part of the pipe system will be pressure tested later.
Having achieved effective cleaning of the pipes and oil, the pump is stopped and
the ball valves (7107), (7215) and (7240) are closed to minimize spillage of oil
when the coupling of the two hoses at the shuttle valve is dismantled and the hoses
are connected to the shuttle valve. See Appendix 4

reason, the pressure compensation set point of the pump must be approximately
120 bar during the entire flushing procedure.
This limitation of pressure is of even more importance in order to protect
the filter cartridge against rupture in the event of a sudden blockage,
entailing risk of severe damage to the pump!
During the flushing process, the pressure drop across the flushing filter must be
strictly monitored and the filter cartridge must be replaced immediately in case of
any signs of obstruction.
During the flushing process, the oil temperature must always be maintained within
the range 55-60 C to ensure at the same time a low viscosity of the oil for optimiz-
ing the cleaning process.
The return filters (150) must be continuously monitored and a replacement of the
filters will be necessary if an alarm indicating obstruction of the filters is tripped.
After flushing of all drives, the hoses from the stand-by pump must be disconnect-
ed from the check valves and attached to the foreseen joints with metal blind plugs
in. The blind plugs are to be used for the check valves. Please observe strict disci-
pline to avoid contaminating the now clean system.
The pipe systems have now been cleaned and the hoses can be connected to the
cylinders; always ensure that these connections have been cleaned prior to assem-
bly. The ball valves (7107) must be closed.
The remaining pressure test of A-lines from the pump station to ball valves (7107)
can be done now. They too should be pressure tested to 250 bar.
If it becomes necessary to start up the main pumps before the drives can be put
into operation, this must be done with the ball valves (7107) closed and without
any angling of the pumps.
5.1.4 Start-up
a) Check that all suction valves (305) are open.
b) The cylinders must not be connected to the drive at this point, but the cylin-
ders must be supported to allow them to move freely.
Alternatively, the movement of the drive has already been checked by means
of jacks or a hoist, which means that it will be perfectly safe to connect the
cylinders.

d) Start the pump motors momentarily and check the direction of rotation. This
must be done in consultation with the supervisor of the electrical installation
and the rocker cam must be in 0-position, meaning no flow to cylinders.
Attention
Prior to operating the drives with the pump units, the movement of
the frame must be checked.
If the system is flushed and the cylinders are connected, the hand pump (190)
may advantageously be used to perform the checking. Cleaning must be
carried out before the connections are established.
It must be possible to move the drives at a low pressure (30 bar).
The recommended approach involves connecting the hand pump to the quick-
action coupling (194).
Attention
It is essential to prevent contaminated oil from reaching the cylin-
ders. Therefore, the oil in the tank must be cleaned before the hand
pump is used.
The movement can also be checked while the pump station is in operation,
with the pressure relief valves set for a pressure of approximately 50 bar and
with application of a very small oil volume.
Start the pump and operate it at 10-20% of the rated capacity - do not exceed
this limit. This is done using the PLC control unit. The output capacity of the
pump is adjusted on the electrical control panel.
e) Check that the pressure of the servo-/booster pump is 35 bar when the tem-
perature of the oil is normal ~ 60C. The oil pressure can be observed on
pressure gauge (471).
f) Let the cylinders move back and forth very slowly between the preset extreme
positions. Venting must be done while the cylinder is working, using the
supplied hoses and screwed connections with T-pieces for the hoses or by
relaxing the screwed connections situated at the highest locations until all air
has been expelled from the system. This operation must be repeated until the
air content in the oil is zero.
Some degree of venting is expected to take place through the shuttle valve.
Without any material in the cooler, quite small oil pressures are necessary to
move the drive, and therefore, the shuttle valve may not work exactly as
intended with replacement of the return oil from the cylinders. This can be
ascertained by touching the pipe connections relative to the cylinders and the
drain line from the shuttle valve, and it can be monitored via the flow switches
(0055).
Adjust the linear transducers in the two end positions, see instruction manual
for electrical equipment.
Then adjust the position of the transducer in relation to the cylinders.
g) Maintain the hydraulic system in operation for two hours, while slowly increas-
ing the operating speed.

Set the thermostatic set points of the cooling circuit for attainment of an oil
temperature of approx. 60C.
i) Measure the true length of the piston stroke and compare it to the set point
values. Set the length of the normal stroke as indicated below. Then check
that the resulting stroke length will be 300 mm. This adjustment is done by
cautiously altering the FS and RS values as well as the braking and accelera-
tion cycles. Be very careful when altering any braking cycles which will have
an impact on the braking length.
There must be an oil cushion at both ends.
This must be checked at several speed levels, also at the
maximum speed. See sub-section 5.3.1.

k) The 0 position of the pumps (0 angling), i.e. the position of the rocker cam
inside the pump, must be checked.
Check the adjustments on the pump card. See instructions from the electrical
department.
The adjustment, in its entirety, can be checked, if necessary, by adjusting the
flow in both directions via the pump card, duly recording at this location the
exact time for the occurrence of pressure and movement in the two directions.
l) Start up slowly by operating the pumps and the drives at minimum speed,
often 3-4 spm, for one hour while strictly monitoring the service pressures and
the general state of the cooler. See also instruction manual outlining the
guidelines for erection. Subsequently, the speed can, gradually within a period
of one hour, be increased to a level close to 20 spm, and this level must be
maintained for more than 6 hours. Check that drive plates or U profiles are not
getting hot from the friction with the C profiles, this can be felt or seen from
the under grate chamber, correct if necessary. See erection instruction.
Note: this check must only be done when the cooler is stopped. The stroke
lengths and oil temperatures must be checked at least 3 times. If necessary,
adjust the temperature setting for activation and de-activation of oil cooler.
Following a stoppage, the oil filters should be checked, and should normally be

replaced, unless this has already been done after the flushing operation. From
the shuttle valve, about 2 liters of oil must be extracted, since, most often, the
pressure differential will be insufficient for the shuttle valve to be activated in
no-load condition, i.e. there is no replacement of oil.
a) Always ensure that interlocking alarms resulting from the monitoring of tem-
peratures, oil levels, etc. do not occur.
b) All valve handles must be placed in open position.
c) The electrical control panel must be switched to operation from the control
centre.
Once compliance with these preconditions has been ensured, the hydraulic plant
will be ready for remote-controlled start-up.

From the starting position, movement is started at the velocity requested by the
central control panel or the local control unit.
The pistons of the cylinders move forward at the preset velocity until they reach the
point FAS. The angling of the pump is then adjusted to 0 within the duration of the
braking length to the point FS.
After the "rocker cam " has reached 0-position (0 pump angle), the oil flow is
diverted to port B by moving the "rocker cam " to the opposite side. This is done
within the time period allowed for "Reverse Up Ramp".

The pistons of the cylinders then move forward again and the process will continue
as described.
The positions FAS and RAS are calculated by the PLC unit on the basis of the ap-
plied set points for RS and FS and the current values of braking and acceleration
cycles and the pump capacities.
In this connection, the PLC unit is programmed for monitoring stroke lengths and
grate speeds and to adjust the pump capacities and FAS-RAS.
Also, the pumps will be swiftly directed towards the ZERO point in case the RS and
FS parameters are exceeded.
The values below must be applied as default set points for the positions and accel-
erations, but they can be adjusted in the PLC unit:
RS = 20 mm
FS = 320 mm
Acceleration and braking cycles can be set in the range of 0-1000 ms. Default it is
set for 200 ms. See instruction manual for electrical equipment.
Adjustments of braking cycles as well as acceleration cycles can be done in the PLC
unit. For example, they may be increased to 300 and 350 m/s if the maximum
capacity of the pump units is not fully utilized. Always remember to increase the
braking cycles in small steps in order to prevent the cylinder from striking against
the bottom.
It is essential to ensure that the limits for the forward and reverse movement are
correctly adjusted in relation to one another, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

When making the adjustment, it is essential to ensure that the movement of 300
mm is obtained during normal operation and that the risk of the cylinder "hitting
the bottom" - when the frame is operated at the maximum speed - is eliminated. In
case this is deemed to involve major complications, do not hesitate to contact FLS
to allow minor modifications of the PLC program to be made.
