4.00 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.01 INTRODUCTION

The AUTOMATION OF READY MIX CONCREATE PLANT provides a fast and reliable way for
batching and mixing of ready mix concrete. The system is designed to produce 30 cum. Per hour of ready
mix. The system facilitates the complete control and interlocks for operating the system in manual and
auto mode. It improves the productivity of the plant to a great extent and provides a foolproof method of
producing the right mix. It can be operated by even a semi-skilled operator, and at the same time, avoids
any chance of wrong doings by interlocks. The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) does the
supervision of operations. And the control, operator interface and report generation is done by the
computer.

The batch control unit of the system ensures only the exact set quantity of the ingredients are fed into the
process, first time and each time. The PLC control logic assures the quality of the mix and at the same
time avoids the wastage of the raw materials.

The instantaneous weight in the weigh hoppers are displayed on the batch controllers and the
annunciations on the computer gives working condition of each equipment at any given point of time.
Any malfunction or fault in the operation can be identified from the custom engineered computer screen,
which makes the rectification quick and easy. The equipments in the field are operated and controlled by
the PLC. The various sensors and limit switches provides the necessary feedback signal to the PLC. The
PLC is again connected to the computer and the SCADA software controls the functioning. The SCADA
package makes the PLC very flexible and user friendly. The annunciations like operating conditions; fault
indications etc. can be very easily displayed on the computer screen with the help of SCADA. The
software makes the data storage and printout very flexible and easy. The live weights of the ingredient
weigh hoppers are continuously upgraded on the computer along with the operating status of equipments.

The recipes can be entered from the computer. The history of all the batches is available on the computer,
and is available for printout .the batch data are stored as trip report, monthly report and yearly report and
these data will be available for printout at the click of a button.

Greaves does not take any responsibility in the event of misuse of materials (i.e.) taking Cement
instead of Fly ash / additional consumption of materials if batching done in manual mode and no
claim can be made. Please note that customer must record material consumption in manual
mode.

4.02 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AUTOMATION OF READY MIX CONCRETE PLANT comprises of the load cells, batch
controllers, PLC with SCADA package & software, control desk. The main function of this equipment is
to produce the right grade mix in the fastest possible time. The RMC plant comprises of storage bunker
for various raw materials, aggregate weigh hopper, skip hoist, cement weigh hopper, storage silos and
feeding screw conveyors, weigh tanks and storage tanks for water and admix along with feeding and
discharge devices, mixer etc. The raw materials like aggregate, sand dust, cement, water and admix are
initially loaded into the storage hoppers. The materials from storage bunkers for the aggregate, sand and
dust are extracted through sector gates. The extracted material is collected at a weigh hopper below as per
the preset recipe, before discharging to the skip hoist. The skip hoist delivers material to the mixer. From
the storage silo the cement is extracted to the cement weigh hopper through the screw conveyor
Greaves Cotton Limited 6
depending on the recipe value. Similar way the required quantity of water and admix also are collected
separately at the weigh hoppers. These weighed raw materials are then discharged into the mixer per the
preset sequence. The operations like the mixing time and sequence of operations are controlled by the
PLC.

The quantity of material to be fed from each hopper is set prior to the operation. The setting can be done
as recipe on the computer. The required recipe for the mix can be selected from the memory or new
values can be entered in the blank recipe format. The load indicator units on the control desk sends the
weight data continuously to the PLC in the form of 4-20mA and the PLC controls the feeding gates and
screw conveyor at the bottom of the storage hoppers. Once the correct weight quantity is achieved, the
weigh hoppers discharge sequentially into the mixer. The mixer is run for a certain preset period of time
& then empties the material into the truck.

The Batching system electronics comprises of load cells, load indicators, PLC and the software. The PLC
is in turn connected to a computer (through communication port 1). The load cells are mounted on
support frame, which in turn is bolted to the weigh hoppers. There are 4 weigh hoppers in the system.
One each for aggregates, cement, water and admix. The aggregate weigh hopper is mounted on 2 load
cells, where as the cement and water weigh hoppers are supported on 3 load cells and admix on single
load cell. These Load cells are having parallel termination onto a junction box. From each junction box a
single 4 Core shielded cable connects to the corresponding load indicator on the control panel. There are
4 load indicators in the control panel corresponding to 4 weigh hoppers. The load cells gives mill volt
signal corresponding to the load applied. These signals are amplified at the load indicator converted to
digital, processed & then displayed as weight data. The weight data is transferred to the PLC and as per
the recipe settings the relays are energised. These control relays in turn operate the field devices Viz:
pneumatically operated sector gates, screw conveyor and ball valves. Limit switch inputs are used for
various inter locks to make the system fool proof. Additional controls & data regarding Batch time, date,
Individual raw material weight etc., is provided at the computer. Adequate software to this effect is
provided.

5.00 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

5.01 LOAD CELL

The load cell is strain gauge based transducer that converts load applied into mill volts signal. The load
applied on the weigh hopper will be transferred to the load cell and the load cell gives corresponding
millivolt output to the digital readout where the signal is processed and is displayed.

The load applied creates a bending movement in the load cell, which in turn causes compressive and
tensile strains in the strain gauges. When strain is created resistance of strain gauge varies. The strain
gauges are connected to form a whetstone’s bridge and an excitation voltage is supplied to it from the
processing unit, a small voltage variation in terms of millivolts is created when the load is applied on the
load cell.

The signal from the load cells in the form of millivolts is fed to the load indicator unit on the control
panel. The weight values are displayed on the front panel.

The load cells used are of single ended Shear Beam Type / S-Type. The aggregate weigh hopper is
supported on load cells of 1250 kg. Capacity each. Where as cement and water weigh hoppers are
supported on 250 kg. Load cells each. The admix weigh hopper is supported on 22.5 kg. Capacity load
cell.

5.02 LOAD INDICATOR

The Load indicators are DPM type and are mounted in the control desk with the help of clamps.
This accepts 0-3mV/V from the load cells and amplifies and displays true weight data present in the
weigh hopper after eliminating all noise, introduced error like offset and common mode signal. This
indicator generates 4-20mA isolated current output which is used for long distance transmission. This
signal is fed to the PLC for further data processing and control.

The Load indicator is designed to work from an AC power source of 230V AC drawing a current
of 0.1Amps (nominal).

Greaves Cotton Limited 8


system accepts this signal amplifies and displays the same as a stable load/weight data. Using internal
Trim pot does span error adjustments/Calibration. It also provides digital/keyboard calibration.

MICRO CONTROLLER BASED ADC (IA-PT-420-01A):


This is a 89C52 based, which uses DUAL SLOPE Analog to Digital Converter, converts the amplified
load cell signal to a Digital signal and presents it to the micro controller for further data processing.

The amplifier itself is a High-precision, low-drift Instrumentation amplifier, which amplifies the low milli
volt load cell signal and presents it to the ADC for conversion.

The 7135 ADC accepts amplified signal from INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER & converts the same
into BCD signal, this is fed to the micro controller for further processing.

A common adjustment for SPAN is provided for trimming the linearity error. Resistors Rg is the GAIN
resistor of the AMPLIFIER. Generally this is factory set, but if any change is done in load cell capacity at
a later date, then this resistor will have to be changed. Analog 16 Bit, High Resolution Isolated Outputs (4-
20mA) are available on the terminal blocks Backside of the Indicator corresponding to No Load to Full
Load.

CPU, ADC & POWER SUPPLIES

The CPU is powered with a +5 volt digital supply. The ADC is powered with a separate twin power

drawn from it.

Greaves Cotton Limited 13


The inputs and outputs for various motors, feeding and discharging devices are routed through relays and
contactors of adequate capacity.

Refer enclosed drawing for the detailed component layout.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

For load indicator/ signal conditioner in case of erratic display

Check the ac mains power supply for “low voltage”. System may behave erratically if AC mains are
less than 150 volts.

- Check whether all load cell connections and cables are firmly secured and in the right place.

- Now physically check the individual load cell, which is showing abnormal or excess ‘load’ value.
Load cell can be physically checked for its correctness by just measuring the impedance across the
opposite terminals after isolating the connections from the load indicator.

Resistance should be as follows:


When measured across red & black or green & white the resistance shown should be 350 ohms or almost
equal to it.
When measured across each arm resistance should be around 350 ohms.
if any abnormality is noticed in the above then it can be concluded that load cell is faulty

No load test

- Connect back the connector of the load cell, which was removed, but isolate only the load cell output
wires green and white from the connector. Connect a milli volt multi meter across the above two
wires make sure that no load is acting on the load cell & load cell should be absolutely free. if
required load cell can be taken out from the weigh hopper. Under the above conditions the milli volt
measured on the multi meter should not exceed 1.5-milli volt. if any abnormality is noticed in the
above reading then it can be safely implied that load cell is faulty.

- If load cells are found to be ok from the above tests, after switching off the power to the system look
for any connectors plugged out or loosely connected and secure them properly.

- Next switch on the power and measure all the dc voltages present in the system. All voltages should
be within tolerance limits if any abnormality is noticed get the defective power supply replaced or
replace the power supply card with a spare one.

- If all above are ok then replace the main ADC+CPU card with a spare one.

• In case of recipe error, the same is indicated in red by flashing.

• Correct the recipe value in the main screen.

Greaves Cotton Limited 17


• Now check the weight display value this should be zero/minimum, in case the value is higher
discharge the material in the weigh hopper through manual operation/ by adjusting the tare POT
provided on the backside of the DPM.

• Now give the batch start signal, by clicking the mouse on “Batch Start” Icon, and then the system
starts batching as per the recipe selected.

• On completion of the batching the system checks for mixer gate open and close condition,
operator can give the vehicle in command through the switch provided at the front side of the
panel.

• On confirmation of the above conditions the aggregate weigh hopper discharges to the skip.

• Now the skip moves up and discharges to the mixer. Here we are having 4 Limit switches, namely
a) Skip bottom, b) Skip Top, c) Speed Change Over and d) Skip wait.

• Once the skip in bottom position then aggregate starts filling when the start button given.

• Once all the four materials filling (aggregate) is over then the skip will move automatically,
slowly up to speed change over limit switch, once it reaches speed change over limit switch then it
will move fast up to it reaches skip wait limit switch. Here the skip will wait for Cement, Admix
and water filling. Once those three materials get filled the skip will go up (skip Top Limit switch
sense that the skip is available at the top and ready to discharge the material) and deliver the
material in to the Mixer. By that time the Cement, Admix and Water will get discharge (receives
discharge signal) and starts next batch. Mean time the Skip will come down slowly up to skip wait
limit switch and the it start to come down very fast up to speed change over limit switch then it
will come to bottom. Once the skip is in bottom then it starts filling for Next Batch.

• If any emergency press “Batch Stop” Push Button to stop the Batch

• On completion of discharging, the mixer timer starts.

• On achieving the preset mixing time the mixer gate open (It also ensures the vehicle IN command)
for discharging the material (with settable discharge time).

• The Batch counter will be updated on completion of the batch.

• This cycle repeats till achieving the target tonnage value/cubic meter.

3. INSTRALLATION AND OPERATIONS


3.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect the electric power supply as shown in the wiring diagram given in the manual. After
connecting the power line start the unit momentarily and observe the direction of rotation of the
compressor. The direction of rotation should be antic lock wise when viewed from the front side (oil level
indicator side). If the direction of rotation is not correct change the direction by interchange .any of the
two phases in the starter. The compressor must be electrically earthed by connecting a copper wire to the
body of the compressor and earth..

3.2 ADJUSTING BELT TENSION


The Belt tension between the motor and compressor pulleys must be suitably adjusted. When correctly
adjusted the belt will have a play of 10mm about their mean position.

3.3 STARTING PROCEDURE

Check whether the following things are ok before starting the unit.

9 Check the crankcase oil level on the oil level indicator. If it is below the minimum level mark, add
fresh oil of the correct grade
9 Make sure that the belt tension between the compressor and motor is correct to avoid whipping.
Too much tension will put an excessive load on the motor and compressor bearings.
9 Check that compressor rotates freely by hand that there are no mechanical obstructions.
9 Check that the drain on the air receiver is shut.
9 Momentarily switch on the compressor and see that it rotates in the right direction.

3.4 CHECKS DURING COMPRESSION OPERATION

9 Check whether the compressor is running smoothly and that the running sound is normal.
9 Feel the compressor suction parts, crankcase and air receiver to ensure their temperatures are with
in limits. (Note that the delivery parts of the compressor will be very hot and do not touch them.
Touching may case burns).
9 Observe for air leaks at the joints of the pipes and if noticed stop the compressor and rectify the
defects.
If all above checks are satisfactory, continue to run the compressor and note the pressure at which
the compressor cuts off automatically. Then let out air from the receiver and note the pressure at
which the unit cuts in.

3.5 PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS


Greaves Cotton Limited 56
The pressure switch operating pressures are adjusted at the factory and will not normally required
readjustment. However, if it is necessary to alter the factory settings, the pressure may be increased or
reduced with in the limits indicted in the technical data. The upper limits should never be exceeded.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

While operating the compressor it may be necessary to vary the delivery pressure. The pressure
adjustment is quite easily done by the following simple procedure.

1. Remove the cover on the pressure switch.


2. Unlock and turn the control screw clockwise for increasing the cut off pressure.
3. Turn the control screw anti-clockwise for reducing the cut off pressure.

DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENT

Depress the screw against the spring and turn clockwise for decreasing the differential i.e., to
increase the cut in pressure and anti-clock wise to increase the different pressure i.e., to decrease the cut
in pressure.

NOTE
It is necessary to keep the compressor pressure switch correctly
adjusted as it is uneconomical to run the compressor at higher
pressure, if the air pressure required id lower.

4. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

4.1 For Every 24 Hours of Operation.

1. The compressor should be cleaned thoroughly.


2. Check the oil level in the crankcase and replenish with the correct grade if required.
3. The compressor belt tension must be checked.
4. Water from the air receiver must be drained.

4.2 FOR EVERY 125 HOURS OF OPERATION

Dismantle the drain valve from the air receiver and clean. Run the compressor for some time
without the drain valve to blow out all the moisture and dirt from the receiver.
Reassemble the drain valve.

Greaves Cotton Limited 57


NOTE:
On installing a new compressor, the first oil change
should be carried out after 150 hours of operation. The
subsequence oil changes should be done after 500 hours
of operation.

4.3 FOR EVERY 250 HOURS OF OPERATION

1. Check the compressor for satisfactory operation which include:


Operational noise and vibration.
Tightness of mounting bolts and other fasteners.
Air leaks at the pressure, line inter cooler, safety valves, drain valve, etc.
Cut off and cut in pressures.
1. Suction filter: Dismantle the suction filter and clean it with compressed air. After through cleaning
reassemble on the compressor.

4.4 FOR EVERY 500 HOURS OF OPERATION.

1. Breather : The breather valve should be dismantled, Cleaned and


Checked for perfect seating of the valve.
2. Lubricating oil : Drain the oil and renew.

4.5 FOR EVERY 1000 HOURS OF OPERATION.

1. The cylinder heads should be removed and inspect and valve plates. The worn out parts should
parts should be replaced with spares.
2. Check all the pipe liners for leaks at joints and if necessary renew the packing.
3. Dismantle the non-return valve and then examine the spring for stiffness and check its valve seat
if required.
4. The after- cooler and the inter –cooler pipe should be decarbonizes.

4.6 FOR EVERY 2500 HOURS OF OPERATION

General overhaul: The compressor should be completely stripped by an experienced staff. All parts have
to be thoroughly cleaned, examined and repaired in a clean surrounding.

Renew suction air filter element.


Greaves Cotton Limited 58
4.7 FOR EVER EVERY 2 YEARS

10. OIL BATH FILTER (Optional)


GENDRAL ARRENGENMENT

This is a special type of air filter designed for use in the suction ports of the compressor in dusty
atmospheric conditions like that of foundries and textiles mills. Dry type filters can filter dust particles
above 10microns size only. Fine dust below 10 microns size will escape the filter and enter the cylinder
resulting in fast wearing of cylinder and piston rings. Too mush dust collection on the filter element often
results in chocking and filter damaging. So oil bath filters are recommended to be used in these places.

In this filter, first suction air suction air passes through the oil bath and then the wire mesh. While
the air passing through the oil bath all dust particles init will be absorbed by oil and few oil particles may
mix with the air. During its passage through wire mesh, the oil particles will be separated from the air, So
the suction air will be dust free.
Maintenance:

For every 250 hours of operation dismantle the air filter unscrewing the wing nut. Pour the oil
from the filter to some other vessel. Rinse and clean all the parts in petrol or kerosene. After through
cleaning and drying with dry pressurized air, reassemble the filter. If the oil is contaminated too much,
Chance the oil. Pour oil up to the maximum level marked on the filter.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARINING
Keep the power supply away from any contact with the water.
Use a circuit breaker unit for safety.
The pump unit must properly be earthed. In case of difficulty consult a qualified electrician or your pump
distributor.
If the pump stops during use, Always switch off the power supply before inspection.
Three-phase motor is not equipped with a current overload protector (Starter).
It is to be provided by the user.

CAUTION
Be careful not to exceed the given specifications in the use of your products. Check the nameplate for
your pump’s head (LIFT) discharge volume (CAPACITY), speed (RPM) and arrow mark to check
direction of rotation.

INTRODUCTION

Check the following points upon receipt of your pump.


1) Is the pump exactly what you ordered? Check the nameplate..
2) Has any damage occurred during transit? Are any bolts or nuts loose?
3) Have all necessary accessories been supplied?

INSTALLATION
WARNING

Before insulation resistance measurement, always disconnect the power first. All electric work should be
performed by qualified electrician and all national and local electrical codes must be observed.

1) LOCATION
a) Install where inspections and maintenance can be easily performed.
b) Provide suitable enclosure to prevent entry of un-authorized persons.
c) Install pump as close to liquid source as possible. Suction height (height from surface of liquid to
center of pump) should be as low as possible, and suction piping should be short.
d) Suction head should be less the 4 meters. In certain cases, such as with hot liquid, section head
must be lower. To minimize suction piping loss, excessive use of elbows and valves should be
avoided.

2) PIPING (FIG 1)

a) Use adequate support for suction and discharge piping to prevent pump and motor from becoming
misaligned.
b) A Check valve must be installed between the pump and the discharge valve in the following cases:
When delivery piping is long; when head is high; when is automatic; when water is being pumped
to pressure tank; and when two or more pumps are in parallel operation.
c) Install an air-release valve in piping to prevent the formation of air pockets due to construction.
Note however, that an air-release valve must not be installed where pressure may drop below
atmospheric pressure since the valve may suck in air instead of expelling it.
d) To reduce effect of water hammer install a quick-closing check valve.
Greaves Cotton Limited 74
e) Suction system:

i) The end of the suction piping should be submerged to a depth of at least twice the diameter (D) of
the piping and should be at a distance between 1 to 1.5 times the diameter of the piping from the
bottom of the pit.
ii) Install suction strainer at the end of the suction piping to block entrance of foreign matter.
Suction piping should be inclined upward (over 1/100) in relation to the pump to prevent formation of
air pockets. Pipe joints must be tight so that there will be no possibility of air suction.
iii) Keep suction piping as short and straight as possible. Do not attach a sluice valve.

3) CENTERING: (FOR EXTENDED SHAFT TYPE)

Through the pump and driver have been centered in the factory, the bed nay be distorted when the
foundation bolts are tightened during installation. Adjust by placing tapered liners underneath the bed,

4. ELECTRICAL WIRING

a) Refer to motor manual for correct wiring. It is important that the wiring is correct and that the
motor is properly grounded.
b) Check the following points before switching on,
1) Is the fuse the right type?
2) Is the wiring correct?
3) Has motor been grounded?
4) With three- phase motor, Check connections are fully tightened. Operating on only two
terminals will result in phase omission, causing motor burn out.
c) Terminal voltage in motor may be with in +/- 5% of the rated voltage. Exceeding this range will
lead to breakdown.
d) Overloading the motor beyond the prescribed limit will reduce its efficiency. It is not economical
and will eventually lead to motor malfunction. We recommend that a protective motor relay be
installed to prevent burnout caused by over loading.

OPERATION:

1) BEFORE STARTING

To rotate by hand, remove the motor end cap and turn slot on shaft end with a screwdriver.
a) Turn pump by hand to check for smooth rotation. If movement is sluggish or uneven, components
inside the pump may be in contact.
For extended shaft type disengage the coupling and check the direction of rotation as indicated on the
pump.
b) Turn operation switch on and off two or three times to check operating condition.
C) Prime the pump. Operating the pump with out priming will cause breakdown: dry run would
instantaneously damage Mechanical seal.
Open air-release valve and prime pump. When the piping is full of water and the pump is printed, open
the suction and discharge valves, and air release valve to check if the pump is fully primed.

2) TEST OPERATION:

CAUTION
Check rotation
Pump will be started with gate-valve closed and then open the valve gradually.
a) Close the air- release valve and discharge valve after priming has been completed. Ensure the
suction valve is fully open.
b) Turn operation switch on and off two or there times to check operating condition. Attach shaft-
coupling guard after operating check has been completed.
c) Begin continuous and gradual opening of discharge valve.
d) Check the pressure, current; vibration and noise (refer to maintenance) are at normal levels.
Both the pressure gauge and compound gauge cocks should be kept closed except at specified
times. Leaving them open may lead to malfunction.
e) If there is no check valve on the discharge piping, close the discharge sluice valve slowly when
stopping pump operation. Turn off operation switch after the sluice valve has been completely
closed.
f) Subsequent operation can proceed with out checks, if all conditions are normal.
Greaves Cotton Limited 76
MAINTENANCE:

WARNING
Disconnect power cable from power source before servicing unit. Normal maintenance should be
done by qualified personnel.

1 ) DAILY INSPECTION:
a) Pressure or current variations, abnormal vibration or noise are signs of malfunction. Refer to Trouble –
Shooting and make necessary repairs as soon as possible. We recommend, that you keep a record of daily
operating conditions so that you will be able to detect early signs of trouble.
b) There should be no leakage if shaft sealing mechanical seal is normal. Replace entire seal if there is
leakage.
c) Fig 3. Indicates the normal level of vibration when installation and piping are correct. Excessive
vibration may be due of defective piping or loose foundation bolts. Inspect carefully.

2. Observe the following points :


A) Operating the pump for an extended period of time with the discharge valve closed will cause pump
damaged.
B) Too frequency starting and stopping of the pump will cause damage. Keep pump-starting frequency to
a minimum.
C) Be sure to turn off operation switch in the event of power failure. It is dangerous to leave the switch
on, as the pump will suddenly start when power is restored.

(ES, ESL, ESV)
E) INSTALLATION

E1) PREPARATION
Remove packing from gear motor. If feeder has flanged pipe sections remove screw blocking brackets,
plugs from splined bushes and protection from splined shafts.
Before lifting the entirely preassembled screw feeder from the ground, once again tighten all nuts and
bolts.
During installation or maintenance use only approved hoists!
During each phase of the installation always handle screw feeder using appropriate hoisting
equipment fixed on the welded lifting eyes on each feeder pipe section.

E2) ELECTRICALCONNECTIONS

The connections with the mains must be carried out by a electrician or other qualified
personnel.
BEFORE ANY ACTION DISCONNECT FROM MAINS SUPPLY!
Before connection ensure that plate and voltage supply match. Pay attention to safety regulations.

E3) GENERAL PRECAUTIONS


Never put your hands into a running screw feeder!
Never open the inspection hatches before having disconnected the feeder from mains supply.
F) COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
Check foreign substances or water have entered the conveyor housing. lf so, remove the access plates
and clean . Afterwards, replace access plates and seal.

If the screw feeder is supplied without inlet and/or outlet spout and if inlet and/or outlet spout are fitted

Greaves Cotton Limited 80


by the customer ensure end flanges are perpendicular. If they are not shim before starting operation.

Avoid deflection of the screw conveyor by ensuring perfect alignment between inlet and outlet.
Otherwise the screw may scrape against the casing and stop. Check the direction of rotation
(anti-clock wise if seen from inlet). If wrong, then reverse the polarity of the electric motor.
Make sure that gear reduction unit is filled with oil and that hanger bearings are lubricated. Before
feeding in material, start the empty screw conveyor and check if running is smooth: if so, feed in the
material and proceed with normal operation.

ATTENTION!
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVE HEAD WITH INCORPORATED END BEARING ASSEM-
BLY THE OUTFLOW OF A VISCOUS AND STICKY SUBSTANCE MAY BE NOTICED.
THIS IS NO LUBRICANT LEAKAGE FROM A FAULTY REDUCER OR BEARING ASSEMBLY
BUT THE SURPLUS OF A SPECIAL LIQUID USED FOR THE IMPREGNATION OF THE
SHAFT SEALING RINGS OF THE STUFFING BOX. THE IMPREGNATION GUARANTEES A
MUCH LONGER LIFE OF THE SEALS. HOWEVER, IT HAS TO BE ACCEPTED THAT DURING
THE COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE AND EVEN THROUGHOUT A PERIOD OF VARIOUS
HOURS OF OPERATION EXCESS LIQUID MAY BE EXPELLED UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY
STOPS. THE FUNCTIONING OF THE SCREW FEEDER OR CONVEYOR IS NOT DISTURBED
BY THIS PHENOMENON.

G) OPERATION
According to the type of plant, operation is controlled either by a remote control panel in
the main control room or by a local starter. Screw feeders having two or more inlets must
be fed from only one inlet at a time. If screw feeders feed to each other the receiving feeder
must be sized for a higher throughput rate than the in feeding unit.
The life of the screw feeder will be increased by closing the inlet valve and by emptying the screw
feeder at the end of each working day. This is particularly important if the material conveyed tends
to harden or become more viscous or sticky if allowed to stand for a period of time.

H) ASSEMBLY - DISMANTLING
H 1) FASTENING
The fastening of inlets and outlets can be carried out in different ways.
- Screw feeders beneath silos or hoppers: if a butterfly valve is fitted to the silo connect feeder inlet
with valve bottom flange.
- Screw feeders with two or more inlets: important to keep the unused inlet closed in order to
prevent the penetration of rainwater.
- Screw feeders have to be supported firmly and symmetrically in minimum two points per section,
either by base support or tube clamp.
If the screw feeder is equipped with a universal inlet and or outlet, after fitting of the feeder, the gap
between the upper and the lower hemisphere of the spout must be sealed with appropriate material.
Screw feeders, which are longer than, & certain inlet-outlet length (see catalogue) are divided by
flanges so that they may be transported or shipped by normal means.
Avoid any kind of vibration.
For screw feeders with one or more inspection hatches it is necessary:
1) To equip those with locking bolts and nuts or

Greaves Cotton Limited 81


2) To provide for an EN1088-standard device that stops the screw conveyor in case of opening or removal
of the inspection hatch.

N.B.:
The optional grille beneath the standard inspection hatch cover cannot be considered as a “safety
component”. It only avoids that foreign bodies can penetrate through the open inspection hatch
the screw feeder.
Before assembly, ensure serial numbers on each tube section match.
Prior to assembly of the pipe sections fit flange gaskets.

H2) FASTENING OF CABLEGUIDING TUBES


If you want to use STP4-type tube supports please proceed as shown below

Greaves Cotton Limited 82


H3) DISMANTLING

Prior to dismantling of the gear reducer or the end bearing from the screw feeder, the
screw must be secured against sliding out of the tubular housing, the screw being simply slid
onto the end shaft of either gear reducer or end bearing. First remove lid and gasket from
inspection hatch beneath the inlet spout. introduce a wooden plank into the inlet the opening
and restrain.
Only now gear reducer or end bearing may be taken off.

ATTENTION!
BEFORE OPENING THE INSPECTION HATCH ENSURES MAINS SUPPLY TO ELECTRIC
MOTOR IS DISCONNECTED.

I) MAINTANANCE
Failure to follow the maintenance instructions may cause problems and could invalidate the guarantee.
Every day, after finishing operation, empty the screw feeder.
Once a week, check to see if outlet and hanger bearing are free of crusts. if not, clean in order to avoid
blockages.
Once every two years, it is advisable to replace the following parts: seals and hanger bearing (if worm
out).
Lubrication and parts substitution timing depends on service of screw feeder and on type of product.
However, even with difference types of seals or bearings operations to be performed are the same.
BEFORE ANY ACTION, DISCONNECT MAINS SUPPLY!

Referring to Fig: 1 carryout the following steps:


1) Close silo valve.
2) Empty screw feeder.
3) Disconnect electric motor from mains.
4) Open inspections hatches.
5) Prevent the inlet screw (D) from sliding out by introducing a plank (A) into the inlet hatch ensuring
plank firmly locks in.
6) Ensure eyebolt (F) of electric motor is tightly screwed on.
7) Fix the lifting device to the eyebolt (F).
8) Remove reducer flange bolts and remove gear motor (B).
Greaves Cotton Limited 83
9) Replace seals (C) with new ones.
10) Reassembling parts proceeding in the opposite way as described.
The same operations apply also if drive unit is at outlet end.
And if the sealing of the end bearing has to be substituted.

I2) REPLACEMENT OF HANGER BEARING

With reference to Fig. 2 carry out the following steps:


1) Open inspection hatch beneath the bearing to be replaced.
2) Remove bolts that fasten the two bearing halves.
3) Lower bearing half is now free. Remove external hanger bolts and turn upper hanger half until
it can be extracted through the hatch.

I3) REPLACEMENT OF HANGER BEARING (INCLUDING SHAFT)


In addition to fig.1, as well as to instructions under I2 proceed as follows:
4) Carefully loosen plank (A)
5) Gently lower inlet spiral (D)
Until shaft (E) is free.
6) Replace shaft (E).
For reassembly proceed the opposite way.
If only the slide bushes must be replaced the above-mentioned steps do not have to be carried out.
The half bush may be simply replaced without carrying out the above steps.

I4) LUBRICATION
OUTLET END BEARING (with drive at inlet)
- Supplied with along life grease filling the bearing does not require any further lubrication.
INLET END BEARING (with drive at outlet)
Grease approx. every 200 working hours (depends on handled material). Substitute lubricant
approx. every 7500 working hours.
HANGER BEARING

CROMPTION GREAVES Motors have been designed, manufactured and tested to a high standard of
excellence. Motors conform to relevant Indian standards as given on the nameplate.
These motors are sound in design and robust in construction and will give satisfactory service with
correct installation and normal routine maintenance.

Greaves Cotton Limited 109


SITE
- Check for proper ventilation. TEFC Motors should be provided with at least 2” gap between
fan cover and nearest barrier.
- Check for ambient conditions, if special treatment on motor is provided for adverse ambient.
- Ensure passages in between ribs in TEFC motors are properly cleaned.

FOUNDATION

The foundation of the motor should be preferably of concert, or structural steel, and must be sufficiently
rigid to minimize vibrations and to maintain alignment between the motor and the load. Normally a
mixture of four parts of stone and two parts of sand and one part of cement by volume is suitable.
PINIONS, PULLEYS AND COUPLINGS
- Use flexible coupling. For rigid couplings refer to CROMPTION GREAVES.
- Use dynamically balanced (with half key) Pulley / couplings/pinions (Motor Rotors are
balanced with half key)
- For belt drive mount belt nearest to motor bearings. Belts should not be too tight.

STARTING

Squirrel cage motors are suitable for DOL, star/delta or Auto Transformer starting.
Slip ring motors should be started by stator / rotor starter with suitable external resistance in rotor circuit
which should be cut off gradually when motor picks up speed.
- In case of star / delta starter, put to ‘Delta’ when the motor picks up fully in ‘STAR’ position.
- While operating on load & the motor is hot, the motor is suitable for 3 starts in one hour,
unless it is designed for higher number of starts.
- In case of slip ring starters, ensure the current and voltage of the starter are same as specified
on the motor nameplate (RV &R)

PREVENTIVE MAINTANANCE:

Motor should be kept clean and free from oil, dust and moisture; care should be taken to see that
ventilation passages are not blocked. The earthling conductor should be regularly inspected and checked
for continuity. The insulation resistance of stator and rotor winding should check regularly between
respective terminals and the frame.
In case of spring motors, carbon dust should be blown out regularly from slip rings and bushes. The
pressure on bushes and wear out should be checked.

BEARING:
Grease lubricated roller and ball bearing are already changed with right quantity of grease.
For republication and replenishing of grease use the following rules:
1. Check republication interval on nameplate. The re greasing interval should be shortened for high
ambient temperature, presence of corrosive vapours or extreme level of contamination.
2, For replenishing fresh grease in the bearing:
- Quantity of Grease to be filled in bearing (in gms) = Bearing bore dia.
- Fill 1/ 3rd of the bearing cover cavities with grease.
Recommended grease is Servo gem 2 of M/s IOCL, or MP2 of M/s Bharat petroleum or AP2 of
CASTROL, MIXING OF DIFFERENT GREASE SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
While removing bearing from the shaft, use properly designed draw–off tackle or puller to hold the
bearing preferably at inner race. While pulling out the bearing, rotate the bearing to avoid damages if
the bearing is intended to be used again.
Greaves Cotton Limited 111
Bearing should be re–fitted on shaft after hearing up to approximately 90ºC and by slip ring on the
shaft.

SLIP RING / BRUSHGEAR


Size of brushes on the slip ring motors are as below-
FRAME a x t x r (Dimensions are in mm)
160-180 12.5 x 16 x 20/24
200-250 16 x 20 x 30
280-315 20 x 40 x 28

here,
t – thickness
a – Axial width
r – Radial width.*
(*Radial width should not be allowed to wear below 15mm length).

- If slip ring surface is not smooth, smoothen, with fine glass paper (DO NOT USE EMERY
CLOTH).
- Brushes should be free in holder, recommended brush pressure is 0.2KG/SQ.CM. (t x a)
- Ensure that slip ring and bushes are free from oil and dust. Below out carbon dust from slip
ring and bushes periodically.
- Use brush grade M15E of Assam Carbon or BE22 of Electro Carbonium.
- For new brushes proper brading is to be done with sand paper, so that curvatures of bushes and
slip ring are perfectly matched.

SECTION 2 – Safety regulations


2.0 SAFETY

Greaves Cotton Limited 114


Careful reading of this manual is highly recommended, the safety regulations in particular.
Pay great attention to dangerous operations.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for non-compliance to safety regulations and to accident-
prevention prescriptions described below. It also declines any responsibility for damage caused by
improper use of the vibrator or by unauthorized modifications.

Pay attention to the danger signal present in this manual; it precedes the signal for a potential danger.

2.1 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATINS


When using electrical equipment, it is necessary to adopt opportune safety precautions to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and injury to persons. Therefore, before using the vibrator, carefully read and
memories the following safety regulations. After reading, preserve this manual with care.

- It is prohibited to use the vibrator in saturated environments with danger of explosion.


- Maintain the work area clean and in order. Untidy areas and environments favor accidents.
- Before starting work, check the perfect integrity of the vibrator and the machine to which it is applied.
Check normal functioning and that no elements are damaged or broken. The damaged or broke parts
must be repaired or replaced by authorized, trained staff.
- Repair, or have repaired by unauthorized staff, means, operating with unsafe and potentially
dangerous equipment as well as loosing the warranty.
- Do not touch the vibrator when functioning.
- Any type of check, control, cleaning, maintenance, change and piece replacement, must be carried out
with the vibrator and machine switched off with the plug disconnected from the socket
- It is prohibited for children, unauthorized persons, unskilled persons and persons who are not in good
health to touch or use the vibrator.
- Check that the plant power supply is in compliance with the regulations.
- On installation, check that the power supply cable is very flexible and ensure that the earth is
connected (Fig.3, page2).
- Check that the plug socket is suitable and in compliance and has an automatic protection switch
incorporated.
- Any extension of the electric cable must have plugs/sockets and cable with earth circuit as envisioned
by the regulation.
- Never stop the vibrator by removing the plug from the socket and do not pull the cable to remove the
plug from the socket.
- Periodically check integrity of the cable. Replace it if not integral. This operation must only be
carried out by authorized, trained staff.
- Only use admitted and marked extension cables.

Greaves Cotton Limited 115


- Protect the cable from high temperatures, lubricants and sharp corners. Prevent coiling and knotting
of the cable.
- Do not allow children and unauthorized persons to touch the cable with the plug inserted.
- If the insertion of a vibrator onto a machine causes the sound level, established by the regulations in
force in the country in which it is to be used, to be exceeded, operators must use adequate protection to
protect their hearing e.g. earphones.
- Even if vibrators are planned to work at low temperatures, in particularly hot environments the
temperature of the vibrators may reach very high values which are induced by the environment itself.
Wait for the vibrator to cool before intervening.
Only authorized tools that are described in the instructions or shown in the Manufacturers catalogue
can be used. Ignoring this advice means operating unsafe and potentially dangerous equipment.
Repairs must only be carried out by staff authorized by the Manufacturer. The Manufacturer
is however at complete disposal to ensure immediate and accurate technical assistance and all that
is necessary for good functioning and maximum performance of the vibrator.
For vibrators without weight covers the user must prevent persons or foreign bodies from coming
into contact with the eccentric weights during functioning.

SECTION 3 – Handling and installation


The vibrator may be supplied without packaging or palletised according to its type and size.
To handle the unit, if palletised, use a forklift truck or transpallet with forks. If it is not Packed
exclusively use the rods or hoisting eye-bolts
If the vibrator must be stored for a long period of time (up to a max. of two years), the storage
environment must have an environmental temperature that is not less than + 5o C and with relative
humidity not exceeding 60%.
After two years storage of vibrators with roller bearings re-greasing must take place according to the
quantity of re-lubrication indicated in the table
After three years storage of vibrators with ball bearings the bearings must be completely replaced; for
vibrators with roller bearings the old grease must be entirely removed and replaced completely with new
grease.

When handling the unit avoid blows or vibrations to prevent damage to the rolling bearings.

Greaves Cotton Limited 116


3.0 BEFORE INSTALLATION
If the vibrator has been stored for a long period of time (more than 2 years), before installation remove
one of the weight covers and check that the shaft turns freely
The electrical insulation of every individual phase to earth, and between phases, is necessary and
indispensable.
To control electrical insulation only use the Megger Insulation Tester at the test voltage of 2.2Kv ac and
for a time that does not exceed 5 seconds between phases and 10 seconds between phase and earth
If anomalies result from the control, the vibrator must be sent to an ITAVIBRAS Assistance Center or to
ITALVIBRAS itself, for restoration of efficiency.

3.1 INSTALLATION
ITALVIBRAS vibrators can be installed in any position.

ATTETION: MVSI series special vibrators with 600 – 720 rpm. may only be used in a vertical
position with maximum angle of incidence (a max) as shown in the table.

The vibrator must however be fixed to be perfectly flat surface using bolts (quality 8.8 – DIN 931-933)
and nuts (quality 8.8 – DIN 934). Use a dynamometric wrench adjusted according to that stated in the
”Coupling torque” table. The diameter of the bolt, on the basis of the type of vibrator to install, must
correspond to that indicated in the table
It is also indispensable to control that the bolts are tightened fully home. This control is particularly
necessary during the initial functioning period.
Remember that most damage and faults are due to irregular fixing or badly performed tightening.

Re-control tightening after a brief functioning period.

It is advised to fix the installed vibrator to a steel safety cable, with opportune diameter and a length that
will support the vibrator in the case of its accidental detachment.
Max, fall of 15 cm (6”).

Attention: Do not carry out welding to the structure with the vibrator mounted and connected. Welding
could cause damage to windings and bearings.

Greaves Cotton Limited 117


3.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The wires making up the power supply cable used to connect the vibrator to the network must have an
adequate section so that the current density, in each wire does not exceed 4 a/mm2. One of these is used
exclusively for the connection of the vibrator to earth. The section of the wires must also be adequate for
the length of the cable used so that a drop voltage along the cable is not caused that exceeds the values
prescribed by the regulation on this subject. It is also recommended to use flexible cables that have an
external diameter that corresponds to that stated in the << Technical features>> table. This guarantees the
perfect hold of the terminal board box cable-holder on the power supply cable.

3.3 TERMINAL BOARD WIRING DIAGRAMS

ATTENTION: A tropicalised screw, indicated with the earth symbol, is situated in the terminal box. The
yellow-green (only green for USA) wire of the power supply cable must be connected to this screw that
acts as the earth connection of the vibrator.
The sheet of wiring diagrams is found inside the terminal board compartment. Use the diagram that has
the reference that corresponds to that indicated on the identification plate.

3.4 FIXING OF THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE TO THE VIBRATOR TERMINAL BOARD
Follow the sequence of operations as indicated below.
Insert the power supply cable through the cable-gland inside the terminal box
Always use eyelet terminal for connections
Prevent progressive disintegration that could cause interruption of short circuits Remember to place the
relevant washers before the nuts (B Fig, 23, pag.4). This prevents loosening with consequent uncertain do
not overlay the individual cable wires.
Carry out the connection according to the diagrams shown and tighten the cable-holder fully home
Position the foam rubber block ensuring that all wires are held and assemble the cover paying attention
not to damage the seals
3.5 FIXING OF THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE TO THE NETWORK

Fixing of the power supply cable to the network must be carried out by a qualified installer according to
the safety regulations in force.

Connection of the vibrator to earth, through the yellow-green wire (green for the USA) of the power
supply cable, is obligatory.

Always check that the network voltage and frequency correspond to that indicated on the vibrator’s
identification plate before supplying power.

All vibrators must be connected to an adequate external overloading protection according to the
regulations in force.
When vibrators are installed in pairs it is important that each one has its own eternal overloading
protection and that these protections are interlocked together. This is because if a vibrator accidentally
shuts down, the power supply is interrupted to both vibrators at the same time, so as not to damage the
equipment to which they are applied. See diagrams A and B as examples of power and control circuits in
the case of vibrators with thermistor (supplied starting from and including the gr.70).
All vibrators starting from and including gr.70 are equipped with a PTC 130oCthemistor (DIN 44081-
44082). This themistor is accessible in the terminal box and can be connected to an adequate control
equipment for protection of the vibrator.

Important!: For the choice of start-up/shutdown and overloading protection electrical appliances refer to
the technical data, electrical features, nominal current and start-up current. Also always choose delayed
magnetic-circuit breakers, to prevent release during start-up time, which may be longer in low
environmental temperatures.

3.6 POWER SUPPLY WITH FREQUENCY VARIATOR


All of the vibrators can be powered with a 20Hz frequency variator (inverter) up to plate frequency, with
constant torque functioning (rather with linear course of the Volt-Hertz curve) using a PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) variator.
The ITV-VR high variable frequency vibrators are designed to be powered by frequency variators up to
100Hz.
The ITVAF high fixed frequency vibrators are designed to be powered with fixed frequency according to
the technical specifications of each type.
Greaves Cotton Limited 120
SECTION 4 – Use of the vibrator
4.0 PRELIMINARY CHECKS

ATTENTION: Controls must be carried out by specialised staff. During disassembly and re-assembly of
protective parts (terminal box cover and weight cover), remove the power supply from the vibrator.

Check current draw.


- Remove the cover from the terminal board compartment.
- Power the vibrator.
- Use ammeter pliers to verify, on each phase, that the absorbed current does not exceed the value
indicated on the identification plate.

ATTENTION:
Avoid touching or allowing anyone to touch live parts such as the terminal board.
If the current draw exceeds that stated on the plate:
- Check that the flexible system and the vibrating machine framework are in compliance with the
regulations for correct application.
- Reduce force (Centrifugal force) by adjusting the weights. Reduce them until the value of
absorbed current corresponds to that stated on the identification plate.

Remember to allow the vibrators to function for brief periods of time during set-up. This prevents
damage to the vibrator and structure in the case of anomalies.

Once the indicated controls have been carried out close the cover definitively.

MVSI-MP special series models with 600 – 720 rpm are equipped with permanent magnet device to
ensure shutdown of the vibrators with weight always in phase.

Check direction of rotation:


In applications where direction of rotation must be ascertained.
- Remove a weight cover;
- Wear protective glasses;
- Power the vibrator for a brief period of time;
ATTENTION: in this phase ensure that no one can touch or be struck by the rotating masses.

- If the direction of rotation must be inverted, act on terminal board connections, after having
removed the power supply from the vibrator.
- Reposition the covers, ensuring that the seals (OR) are correctly positioned and tighten the screw
fastener.

S TA F F W I T H T H E PO W E R S U P P LY D I S C O N N E C T E D .

- To adjust vibration intensity it is necessary to remove the weight covers.


- It is usually necessary to adjust the weights in the same direction in the two ends. To
allow exact adjustment of the weights, the vibrators are equipped with a patented system
that prevents the adjustable weight to turn in the wrong direction
- Unscrew the mobile weight screw fastener or nut. The adjustable weights positioned at the two ends
of the shaft must be positioned in a way to read the same value on the reference percentage scale. The
weights positioned at the two sides of the vibrator can only be adjusted on two different values for
particular machines and for special uses.
- For the MVSI-TS and MNSL-ACC series adjustments must be carried out as for the corresponding
MVSI series motors.
- Once the eccentric weight has been taken to the desired value tighten the screw fastener or nut using the
dynamometric wrench and repeat the same operation on the opposite weight

ATTENTION:
For every ITV-V adjustment of the weight (number NF of fixed weights per side, number NR of a
adjustable weights per side and maximum adjustment percentage PMax% of the adjustable
weights) and connection to the terminal board (star Y or U Delta) are linked to the desired power
supply frequency variation field (HZ) – page 80 (refer to terminal board connection diagram sheet).
Contact Italvibras technical staff for different adjustments.

- Once the operation on the two sides has been carried out, remount the covers on the screws and washers
paying attention that the seals are correctly positioned in their houses.

4.2 START-UP AND SHOUTDOWN OF THE VIBRATOR DURING USE.

Start-up takes place by always and only acting on the power supply switch by positioning it in the ON
position (insertion of the power supply network).
The Vibrator works.
Stop the vibrator by always and only acting on the power supply switch by positioning it in the OFF
position (disconnection of the power supply network).
Section 5 – Maintenance of the Vibrator
ITAL VIBRAS vibrators have no particular need for maintenance.

Only authorised technicians can intervene on the parts that make up the vibrator.
Before carrying out maintenance on the vibrator wait until the temperature of the vibrator case is not
above 40OC and ensure that the electrical power supply has been disconnected.
If parts must be replaces, only ITAL VIBRAS original spare parts must be used.

5.0 BEARING REPLACEMENT


5.0.1 Bearing replacement gr.00-01-01-AF10-20
These vibrators have ball and shielded bearings and bearings that are pre-lubricated for life.
Remove the power supply from the vibrators, disassemble the eccentric weights.
Disassemble the 2 (two) Seeger rings mounted on the flanges near to the bearings. For these vibrators the
flanges form a unique motor group unit with the casing and cannot be disassemble.
Greaves Cotton Limited 122
Push the shaft from one side using an adequate force until it exits from the opposite side. The shaft will
drag at least one bearing while one remains in its flange. By exercising axial one bearing while one
remains in its flange. By exercising axial pressure, remove the bearing from the shaft and the one
remaining in the flange. Check the baring seat in the flange. If it is worn the entire motor unit must be
replaces. The flanges are fixed tightly to the casing and cannot be replaces. Mount the first bearing in a
flange paying attention that it remains just beyond the seat of the Seeger ring, then mount the Seeger
ring. Pressure-mount the second bearing onto the shaft from the side where the bearing is blocked
(ATTENTION : the shaft is not symmetrical, from one side the bearing is blocked in a radial manner,
from the other side the bearing is free). Insert the shaft into the motor unit from the correct side and press
until the shaft enters its final position, mount the second Seeger ring. Re-mount the masse, seals and
weight covers. Control the state of the seals during this operation and replace them if necessary. Turn the
shaft manually to ensure that it turns freely without axial play.

5.0.2 Bearing replacement gr.30-AF30-AF33-35...up to gr.110


These vibrators have roller bearings, already lubricated in the factory by ITALVIBRAS.
Remove the power supply from the vibrator, disassemble it from the machine, remove the weights.
Remove the flanges from the casing using the threaded extraction holes. Remove the shaft and the second
flange. Remove the bearing cover and slide the bearing out through the extraction holes. Using the
necessary equipment on the bench, replace the bearings and the specific hold rings.
Check the bearing seat in the flange. If worn replace the flange. On re-mounting the bearings pay
attention that they rest correctly on the stroke of their seat. Half fill the chamber between the sealing ring
and the bearing with grease.
Apply the new grease in the quantity prescribed in the <<Technical Features>> table (page 81-92)
spreading deeply inside the bearing applying pressure to allow penetration of the grease into the rolling
parts.

Once the operation has been carried out, re-mount by preforming the operations in the opposite order
taking care to maintain perfect orthogonality of the flange with respect to the casing Pay attention that the
seals are correctly positioned in their seats. Control the state of the seals during this operation and replace
them if necessary.
Turn the shaft manually and ensure that it has axial play between 0.5 and 1.5 mm.

ATTENTION:
Every time the afore-mentioned maintenance operations are carried out it is recommended that all
disassembled screws and spring washers are replaced and that the screws are tightened using a
dynamometric wrench.

5.1 LUBRICATION
All bearings are correctly lubricated on mounting the vibrator.

All ITAL VIBRAS vibrators are realized to use the “FOR LIFE” lubrication system and therefore do not
require periodical lubrication.
Only for heavy work, as for example 24 hours service with high environmental temperatures, staring from
gr. AF33 and 35 periodical re-lubrication of the bearings is recommended, using the two external greases
with the following type of grease:
- speed of 3000 rpm or higher : KLUEBER ISOFTEX NBU 15;
- speed of 1800 rpm or lower: KLUEBER STABURAGS NBU 8 EP;
- MVSI special series 600-720 rpm; KLUEBER ISOFLEX NBU 15.
Greaves Cotton Limited 123
Approximately, on average, the frequency of re-lubrication can be included between 1000 and 5000 hours
and depends on the operative conditions and the type of vibrator, therefore it can be lower or higher than
the indicated values. The quantity of grease to be introduced on periodical lubrication is indicated in the
table on page 81. It is advised to contact ITALVIBRAS for particular uses, which is at complete disposal
to advise the client on the best lubrication possible for the specific use.

Never mix greases even if they have similar feature. Excessive quantity of grease causes increases heating
of the bearings and consequent anomalous current absorption.
Respect the ecological laws in force in the country in which the equipment is used, relative to use and
disposal of products used for cleaning and maintenance of the vibrator. Always comply with
recommendations of the manufacturer of these products. If the machine must be demolished, comply
with the anti-pollution regulations envisioned in the country to use.

Remember that the Manufacturer is always available for any type of assistance and spare parts.

5.2. SPARE PARTS

¾ Ensure that the equipment is installed evenly on a level, low vibration, torsionally, rigid
substructure
¾ Our put elements (belt pulleys couplings etc.,
must be balanced without the key (SEW motors with full spline balancing)
may only be installed with suitable mounting jigs and pull-off devices (pre heat output
elements if necessary)
must be covered to protect against accidental contact.
¾ Ensure correct belt tension (not manufacturer’s specification).
¾ Ensure secure foot flante and shaft mounting.
¾ Ensure proper alignment in the case of direct couplings.
¾ Prevent distortion in the case of combined foot/flange, flange/shaft or foot/shaft mounting.
¾ Allow unhindered motor ventilation, hot air from other assemblies must be prevented from being
drawn directly in to the equipment.
¾ Ensure that the direction of rotation is correct by checking it in and uncoupled state (see point 5)
and note any unusual grinding sounds as it turns,
¾ Verticals mountings positions :

- Cover motors with downward shaft ends with of protective cover if necessary.
- Prevent foreign bodies or water from entering motors with upward shaft ends by suitable means if
necessary.
- Ensure that the filling with lubricant is correct.

5. Electrical connection:

All work must be carried out only when:

ƒ The electrical supply is switched off and prevented from being switched on accidentally.
ƒ You have double-checked that the equipment is de-energized.
ƒ The electric motor or (variable speed) geared motor, MOVIMOT® gear motor, is at rest.

When connecting the equipment to the power supply, ensure that:

ƒ The valid harmonized standards and regulations are maintained.


ƒ The connected valued do not exceed the standard tolerances ( Voltage + 5%, frequency + 2%,
characteristic pattern, symmetry e.g. of frequency inverter supply) to avoid overheating.
ƒ The power connection is lastingly secured (no ends of wires sticking out etc.,) following the
terminal assignment specified.
ƒ The protective earth wire connection (PE) is secure., the specified clearances between individual
bare live components and between these components and the earth are adherd to.
ƒ The terminal / connection box is free from foreign bodies and is dirt and damp proof.
ƒ Any screw-type conduct fitting not needed and the terminal/connection box are sealed so that they
are dust proof and water proof.
ƒ EMC- Compliant installation(e.g. Shielding, earthing, arrangement of filters and laying of
conductors) and adherence to the limites specified by statuory EMC regulations are the
responsibility of the manufacturer of the plant or machinery (consult documentation for plants
with inverters, DC converters etc.,)
ƒ The insulation resistance of electric motors, (variable speed) geared motors or MOVIMOT®
geared motors is measured be for commissioning (normal >1k per volt operating voltage) and that
the function of the brakes on brake motors is checked. if resistance is too low or the brakes are not
functioning properly, consult the installation operating instructions for assistance.

6. Operation:

Secure the key before the trial run without the output elements. Do not disable monitoring and protective
features during the trial run.

Operating DC shunt-wound motors without excitation or allowing series-wound motors to idle can result
in dangerous over speeds and must be prevented by locking.
Vibrations Vett < 3.5mm/s (PN.> 15 KW in coupled operation are insignificant.
In the event of changes in the operating state (e.g. highertemperature, noises, vibrations), switch off the
electric motor MOVIMOT® geared motors or (variable speed) geared motor incase of doubt. Establish the
cause, connect SEW if necessary (refer to the diagnostic instruction in the documentation)

After power is removed from MOVIMOT® geared motors, voltage carrying part should not be
touched, because of capacitive loading, for at least 10 minutes after disconnection from the supply
net work.

7. Inspection/maintenance:
It is essential that all inspection and maintenance intervals and work specified in the installation and
operating instructions be adhered to.

1) Qualified skilled personnel are persons who have a relevant vocational qualification and have proper
knowledge of the execution of the above mentioned work.

6. Design and Operating Notes

6.1 Lubricants
General information : Unless a special arrangement is made, SEW-EURODRIVE supplies the drives
with a lubricant fill adapted for the specific gear unit and mounting position. The decisive factor is the
mounting position (M1...M6, ´ Sec. “Mounting Positions and Important Order Information”) specified
when ordering the drive. You must adapt the lubricant fill in case of any subsequent changes made to the
mounting position (´ Lubricant fill quantities).

Lubricant table : The lubricant table on the following page shows the permitted lubricants
for SEW-EU-RODRIVE gear units. Please note the following key to the lubricant table.

Key to the lubricant Abbreviations used, meaning of shading and notes:

table CLP = Mineral oil


CLPPG = Polyglycol (W gear units, conforms to USDA – H1)
CLPHC = Synthetic hydrocarbons
E = Ester oil (water pollution danger category WGK 1)
HCE =Synthetic hydrocabons + easter oil (USDA – H1 certification)
HLP = Hydraulic oil
=Sunthetic lubricant (= synthetic anti-friction bearing grease)
=Mineral lubricant (= mineral-based anti-friction bearing grese)

1. Helical-worm gear units with PG oil: Please contact SEW-EURODRIVE


2. Special lubricant for Spiroplan® gear units only
3. Recommendation: Select SEW fB > 1.2
4. Pay attention to critical starting behavior at low temperatuers!
5. Low-viscosity grease
6. Ambient temperature

Lubricant for the food industry (fod grade oil)


Biodegradable oil (lubricant for use in agriculture, forestry and water resources)

Anti-friction bearing greases : The anti-friction bearings in gear units and motors are given a
factory-fill with the greases listed below. SEW-EURODRIVE recommends that you regrease anti-
friction bearings with a grease fill at the same time as changing the oil.

1 Recommended for continuous operation at ambient temperatures below 00 C, for example in a


cold storage.

The following grease quantities are required:

ƒ For fast-running bearing (motor and gear unit input end); Fill the cavities between the rolling
elements on third full with grease.

ƒ For slow-running bearing (in gear units and at gear unit output end): Fill the cavities between the
rolling elements two thirds full with grease.

Lubricant fill quantities : The specified fill quantities are recommended values. The precise values
vary depending on the jumper of stages and gear ratio. When filling, it is essential to check the oil level
plug since it indicates the precise oil capacity.

The following tables show guide values for lubricant fill quantities in relation to the mounting position
