2.3 Explosion Pressure Shock Strength

The MULTICOR K has been designed according to directive VDI 2263,
part 3/May 1990 explosion pressure shock strength for a maximum ex-
plosion pressure of 16 bar positive pressure. The MULTICOR K housing
was subjected to a water pressure test as per EN 14460. The explosion
forces cause no significant deformation. However, damage to the meas-
uring system cannot be ruled out. The pipe systems (10 bar) supplied
with the machine for conveying the pulverized coal are designed to be
resistant to explosion pressures.

Function Description
3 Function Description
This chapter explains the machine design to you, what it is used for and
how the machine functions.
3.1 Intended Use

The MULTICOR K measuring device is used to measure mass flow rates
of bulk solids according to the 'Coriolis' measuring principle.
The bulk solids is fed vertically into a rotating measuring wheel through a
centric inlet. The measuring wheel is equipped with a reversing cone.
The measuring wheel reversing cone directs symmetrically the bulk sol-
ids into the measuring wheel signal channels on all sides.
The torque required to accelerate all particles of the bulk solids is directly
proportional to the mass flow rate of the bulk solids if the measuring
wheel is turning at a constant number of revolutions per unit time.
The drive torque is recorded as a reactive force in a special torque
measuring station. It constructively minimizes friction from sealing and
bedding the drive speed control and belt drive including interference sig-
nals from cabling and supply lines. They are not recorded in the meas-
urement result.
An inductive proximity switch is integrated into the drive unit. It measures
the changes in the drive speed of the measuring wheel and these
changes are taken into account when calculating the feed rate in the
electronic evaluation system. Changes in the physical properties of the
bulk solids have no impact on measuring results or on the accuracy of
the measuring instrument.

Connection B introduces air for the cover flushing, preventing bulk solids
deposits from forming.
Connection F also introduces compressed air, supporting the fluidization
of the bulk solids. Fluidization promotes the outflow of the bulk solids.
The drive shaft is constructed in two parts. Both parts are operated syn-
chronously and are mounted on each other friction-free. The drive shaft
support is sealed on the bulk solids side by two air-flushing systems. The
systems are supplied with compressed air through connec-
tions L1 and L2.

5.2.3.4 Pressure Compensation (Optional)

The pressure compensation keeps away from the MULTICOR K the
forces that result from the tank travel (empty – full) and the conveyor
pressure. Pressure compensation also allows an almost pristine tank fill-
weight measurement in the situation in which the tank is held up by load
cells .
The pressure compensation can compensate for up to 5 mm of tank
travel. For this reason, ensure upon assembly that clearances L1 and L2
are correctly maintained.

requirements


STRICTLY OBSERVE
Incorrect operation of the machine
Damage to the machine.
– Observe the following information.
1. Read the manual carefully.
The measuring motor may be switched on only:

▪ using the controller's soft start when the specified MULTICOR K
compressed air supply is running,
▪ when the starting signal is interlocked with the contact of the pres-
sure controller, and
▪ when the bulk solids supply is released once the nominal rotational
speed of the measuring motor has been reached. For this the start-
ing signal for the horizontal starfeeder must be interlocked with the
MULTICOR K release command.
▪ if particular bulk solids are conveyed. Refer to your order-specific
documentation. Specified bulk solids only may be conveyed during
the commissioning phase also. Other bulk solids can lead to safety
hazards or cause lasting impairment of the function of the machine
and the entire system.
▪ Agglomerates in the bulk solids (accumulations of particles) may not
exceed the maximum diameter stated in the »Table [➙38]«, as oth-
erwise the bulk solids flow may be hampered or, in extreme cases,
completely interrupted. Oversized foreign particles must be sieved
out or broken up before reaching the measuring unit.
Device type max. diameter of agglomerates

5.4.2 Compressed Air Supply
STRICTLY OBSERVE
Only deactivate the compressed air supply C or D if

▪ feeding has been stopped and the maintenance valve at the tank
outlet has been closed,
▪ the material blower has stopped,
▪ a ball valve has been installed in the conveyor line to the
MULTICOR K and this has been closed to prevent overpressures in
the system from reaching the MULTICOR K
▪ the measuring motor has been switched off.
The following figure shows the MULTICOR K connections.


requirements


Inlet air requirement (starfeeder outlet ventilation) A

▪ Air requirement is around 1 kg/h for 75 to 125 kg/h coal dust, de-
pending on the prefeeder,
▪ Supply typically by clean gas from the pneumatic conveyor, see the
information in the chapter »Commissioning [➙47]«.
Cover flushing B
▪ Air requirement: 20 to 40 m n/h.
3
▪ Supply typically by clean gas from the pneumatic conveyor, see the
information in the chapter »Commissioning [➙47]«.
Additional unit for treating compressed air C

If the quality of air is poorer than that specified in supply of compressed
air, compressed air treatment is absolutely necessary. The compressed
air may be treated with an additional unit available from
Schenck Process. The provision of works air with the following quality is
required for the additional unit:
▪ Compressed air p: at least 6 bar absolute,
▪ Solid-matter content: max. 10 mg/m , max. 40 μm
3
▪ Water content: max. pressure dewpoint +10 °C,

▪ Oil content: max. 25 mg/m .
3
If operating with a compressed air treatment facility you must also con-
sider:
▪ the stated MULTICOR K compressed air requirement and the hori-
zontal starfeeder,
▪ the rinsing air supply of approx. 7.5 m n/h.
3
The rinsing air is used to renew the drying agent.

Device supply D
STRICTLY OBSERVE
Disregarding the stated pressures for compressed air connec-
tions L1, L2 and F
If other values are set, there is a risk that the machine will be damaged.
– Pressures must therefore not deviate from the stated values.
1. Adjust the pressures at each pressure reducer.
2. Secure the pressure reducer against unintentional change.
Compressed air p: 5 to 7 bar absolute, cleaned, dehydrated and de-

oiled.
Required quality of air in accordance with ISO 8573 split as follows:
Measuring bearing sealing L1 with 1.8 bar (overpressure)
Drive shaft sealing L2 with 1.8 bar (overpressure)
Fluid bottom F with 4.0 bar (overpressure)
STRICTLY OBSERVE
Use of spare parts not from Schenck Process
If other spare parts are used, the unit may be damaged because other
spare parts may not have the same pressure resistance as
Schenck Process spare parts.
1. In order to avoid the risk of damage, only use original
Schenck Process spare parts.
▪ Solid-matter content: max. 1 mg/m , max. 1 μm

3
▪ Water content: Pressure dew point max. -20 °C valid for ambient

temperature min. -20 °C ,
▪ Oil content: max. 1 mg/m ,
3
▪ Air requirement: approx. 30 - 47 m n/h (depending on net supply

3
pressure Δp).
Also note the sealing air requirement for the shaft seals of the hori-
zontal starfeeder.
▪ approx. 15 m n/h air requirement
3
1)
The pressure dew point must be correct downwards accordingly for
lower ambient temperatures. For example, ambient temperature
min. -30 °C requires a max. pressure dew point of -30 °C.

Pressure monitoring
The system is switched off if the compressed air supply pressure falls
below 2.5 bar Ü (overpressure).

 Execution [➙47]
5.4.3 MULTICOR K Protective Interlock with Material Blower
STRICTLY OBSERVE
Missing MULTICOR K Protective Interlock with Material Blower
Mechanical damage to the bearings and the measuring gear due to dust
penetration
– If the system is switched off by the Schenck weighing electronics
due to insufficient compressed air supply, the material blower must
immediately be stopped by locks provided by customer, in order to
protect the bearings and measuring gearbox of the MULTICOR K
against dust.
1. The locking with the material blower must respond as soon as the
feed operation is switched off by the pressure switch trigger of the
MULTICOR K compressed air supply (p < 2.5 bar).
2. The protective interlock must be active both in automatic and local
blower mode.
3. The compressed air supply must be running before restarting.
Neither the measuring drive nor the complete feeding can be switched
on if the compressed air supply to the MULTICOR K is not switched on
or is insufficient. The internal interlock of the controller supplied switches
off automatically a running feed as soon as the sealing air pressure falls
below the threshold value of 2.5 bar.
Furthermore there may in this case be no conveyor pressure as pulver-
ized coal would otherwise penetrate the measuring gear, potentially
damaging it.

5.4.4 Load Cell Installation Aids
STRICTLY OBSERVE
Check the load cell installation aids (transport lock)
to see whether the bolts need to be refitted.
– Both bolts must be in the correct position.
1. Check the position of the lock bolt and load cell installation aid bolt.
⇨ The mass flow rate is recorded.
The position of both bolts must be checked before commissioning. The

following figures show the secured load cell assembly positions for the
various MULTICOR K models. The position shown blocks the measuring
mechanics for purposes of assembly and transport and must be changed
for operation.
In general the bolts are already in their correct position for opera-
tion and do not require adjustment. The following figures show the
load cell assembly position.
The device is not ready for operation in this position. Measurement
is not possible.
The device is not capable of measurement if the bolts are in the position
shown.
▪ Swap the bolts around to make the device ready for operation and
able to log measurement data.

5.4.5 Execution
Carry out the following steps to take the machine into service.
▪ Check the fill level in the working range of the pulverized coal tank.
▪ The horizontal starfeeder must be switched off.
▪ Open the bypass pipe hand valve for the starfeeder outlet ventilation.
▪ Check the oil level in the measuring gear. When the machine is idle
the oil should not be below the middle of the gauge glass. If neces-
sary fill it up with the special oil supplied (refer to chapter
»Lubricating the Measuring Gear [➙56]«).
▪ Ensure that the compressed air treatment is functioning and is set
properly and then open the compressed air inlet.
▪ The operating air pressure must be between 5 and 7 bar
Ü (overpressure), refer to device supply in chapter »Compressed Air
Supply [➙39]«.
▪ Check the switch-off signal of the pressure controller for a minimum
operating pressure of 2.5 bar Ü (overpressure) and adjust if there is
any discrepancy.
▪ Briefly switch on the measuring motor (using soft start) and observe
to see it the fan wheel rotates counterclockwise (arrow on the fan
wheel hood). Swap the polarity of connections U and V on the motor
if it rotates in the wrong direction.
▪ Switch on the MULTICOR K and check whether a value for the feed
rate is displayed on the evaluation system while it is starting up. Al-
low for a MULTICOR K warm-up phase (without feed material) of
ca. 30 minutes.
A stable zero-point should now settle at the evaluation device.

Please contact Schenck Process if this is not the case.
▪ Close the bypass pipe hand valve for the starfeeder outlet ventila-
tion.
▪ Switch on pneumatic conveying without bulk solids. Allow conveying
to run for about 15 minutes until the operating temperature has been
reached.
▪ Zero the evaluation device for the MULTICOR K.
▪ Use the hand valve to set the air flow for the starfeeder outlet ventila-
tion to a value between the two devices based on the nominal feed
rate of the MULTICOR K. Refer to the following figure.
▪ Read off at the evaluation system the air flow measured as a feed
rate value.

Cold Start
A startup from a cold state with ambient temperatures below -10 °C
should only be made after a preheating phase.
Please proceed as follows:
▪ Warm conveying air from the pneumatic conveyer line must be
transported through the MULTICOR K and MULTICELL for a dura-
tion of 30 minutes while MULTICOR K and MULTICELL are idle.
Fig. 18: Air Quantity for Starfeeder Outlet Ventilation
X Rated pulverized coal feed Y Air quantity for starfeeder outlet

rate [t/h] ventilation [kg/h]

Measurement of the quantity of air results from the flow of air through the
MULTICOR K measuring wheel.
▪ Again zero the MULTICOR K evaluation system.
▪ Start up the system again according to the instructions in the manual
for the MULTICOR K evaluation system.
▪ Check the feed accuracy of the MUILTICOR K when commissioning,
refer to chapter »Checking Feed Accuracy [➙51]«.


Checking Feed Accuracy
6 Checking Feed Accuracy

In general, the feed accuracy is checked with the aid of an on-stream
calibration system. Feed operation can continue uninterrupted.
The pulverized coal tank is supported by load cells. The weight signal
from the load cells is switched to the evaluation system of the
MULTICOR K.
Checks can be made while the facility is running. Follow the instructions
in the manual for the evaluation device.
Ensure before the tests that the tank is supported by the load cells free
of force shunts. The defined tank motions may not be exceeded (refer to
chapter »Installation [➙24]«).

Checking Feed Accuracy

Service and Maintenance
7 Service and Maintenance

This chapter will describe the service and maintenance of the machine.
DANGER
Incorrect operation of the machine
Danger of injury!
– Perform maintenance work only when the machine is shut down.
1. Disconnect the sealing air (if present).
2. Disconnect all poles of the drives from the power supply.
3. Wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill.
4. Secure the drives against inadvertent startup.
DANGER
Danger from fluidized bulk solids
Danger of injury possibly resulting in loss of life may result from fluidized
('shooting') bulk solid. Therefore before performing any work:
1. Interrupt and shut off the material supply.
2. Depressurize material supply lines before opening.
3. Secure the shutoff devices against removal.
4. Mark clearly the shutoff.

DANGER
Moving and driven parts
Danger to life from rotating or driven machine elements
– Before performing any work on the machine:
1. Shut down the machine.
2. Allow the machine to come to a stop.
3. Secure the machine against restart.
4. Disconnect completely the machine from the power supply.
5. Remove pressure from any pressure reservoirs.
6. Comply with information in any further applicable documents.
⇨ Check the operation of re-mounted safety guards before restarting
the machine.
WARNING
Hot surfaces
Hazard of burns!
1. Stop machine
2. Secure against restart.
3. Disconnect all poles from the power supply.
4. Let the machine cool.
5. Do not circumvent the on-site protective equipment.
WARNING
Contact with harmful bulk solids
Poisoning, skin and eye irritation and other health hazards may occur.
– Maintain the proper condition of the components.
1. Comply with the safety data sheets.
2. Comply with local regulations applicable to use of the bulk solids.
3. Immediately replace damaged components (e.g. seals).
4. Completely empty all hoppers before maintenance, repair and
cleaning work.

STRICTLY OBSERVE
The machine is not vertical
Oil will enter the measuring bearing, damaging it.
– The machine must be always vertical.
1. Never move the machine from a vertical position.
2. Regularly check the vertical position of the machine.
Always perform work on a MULTICOR K in a clean workshop. Meas-

urement errors can result from dust or other contaminants entering the
system.
The measuring gear and the drive shaft bearing may not be opened.
Corrective maintenance on these components may be carried out by
Schenck Process only. If the damage affects these components the ma-
chine must be returned to Schenck Process for corrective maintenance.
Schenck Process will send out replacement machines for the duration of
the maintenance.
Perform yourself the maintenance described in this chapter only.

7.1 Lubricating the Measuring Gear

wrench size)
3 5 mm internal hexagon 4 Oil inspection glass

(M 6 x 16)
5 Oil filling pipe 6 ½ oil level

7 ¾ oil level
Fill level K50/K80 approx. 450 ml
Fill level K120/K180 approx. 900 ml
Oil grade MOBIL Arctic SHC 224 only
Replacement interval Every 8,000 operating hours or whenever the gear

oil becomes dirty
Recommendation Change the oil before each startup that begins long-
term operation

▪ The oil level must be between the middle of the gauge glass (min.)
and approx. ¾ of the gauge glass height (max.) when the machine is
idle.
▪ Regularly inspect the oil level when idle and during operation.
▪ The gauge glass will be completely full during operation.
7.2 Material Caking and Wear

Measurements will be falsified if there is caking on the measuring wheel,
if these are
▪ uniformly even over time, and
▪ do not cause the bulk solids particles to lift up off the blades of the
measuring wheel.
Accumulations and non-uniform layers of material build-up must be

avoided, however. Reasons for caking may be:
▪ adhesive substances in the bulk solids, and/or
▪ increased humidity.
Caking can be prevented by a measuring wheel with a non-stick coating.

With abrasive bulk solids wear occurs principally at the measuring wheel
blades and measuring wheel floor. In anticipation of such materials the
measuring wheel is protected against wear.
▪ During commissioning inspect at every available opportunity the
measuring wheel and the housing for caking and evidence of wear.
▪ If caking and wear cannot be reliably eliminated over the long term,
inspect regularly the measuring wheel and the housing during opera-
tion.
7.3 Pulsating Bulk Material Flow

Pulsating bulk material flow into the measuring wheel results in a load
cell signal of diminished accuracy as it is effected by oscillations. A pul-
sating bulk material flow should therefore be avoided.
▪ For this reason the rotary vane feeders should have overlapping
chambers.
▪ Feed screws should have feeder stars at their discharge points and
operate at relatively high speeds.

7.4 Check Running Noises

Check the normal running noise of the machine at regular intervals.
7.5 Measuring Wheel
DANGER
Switch off the machine before the bulk material has exited com-
pletely the pneumatic conveyor line.
Uncontrolled infeed of pulverized coal into the furnace burner upon the
next restart.
– There may be no remaining bulk material in the pneumatic conveyor
line before it is switched off.
1. Turn off material infeed.
2. Secure against inadvertent restart.
3. Disconnect all poles of power supply from the mains.
4. Secure power supply against inadvertent restart.
STRICTLY OBSERVE

7.8 Replacing the Belt Drive

▪ Check the timing belt for damage or wear each time the system is
stopped in order to avoid malfunction outages of the MULTICOR K.
▪ Replace the timing belt after between approx. 8,000 and
max. 10,000 operating hours.
▪ When replacing the timing belt observe the instructions in the chap-
ter on the measuring motor from »page [➙66]« onwards.
▪ If the timing belt becomes worn out faster than expected follow the
instructions from »page [➙71]«.
Replacing Components
Spare parts must meet the technical specifications indicated by Schenck
Process. To ensure this requirement is met, only genuine Schenck Pro-
cess spare parts should be used. When using other spare parts, the war-
ranty will be void.
Disassembly
Removing the timing belt and the belt pinion
▪ described from »page [➙66]« onwards
Removing the belt pulley:
WARNING
Weight of the belt pulley
Falling belt pulley
1. Secure the belt pulley so that it cannot fall over.
2. Then loosen the screws on the locking unit.
▪ Remove the belt pulley, clamping set and limit stop washer from the
gear shaft.

Mounting
▪ Push on the belt pulley, clamping set and limit stop washer onto the
gear shaft as far as they will go.
▪ Tighten uniformly and in a criss-cross manner at first hand-tight the
clamping set fastening screws to fix the position of the belt pulley.
▪ Using a torque wrench, tighten uniformly the fastening screws to ap-
prox. 5 Nm.
▪ The timing belt and the belt pinion are assembled as described from
»page [➙66]«.
▪ The belt is correctly inserted as shown in the diagram.
Setting the Belt Tension
STRICTLY OBSERVE
Overstretching the belt
Damage to machine due to excessive belt tension.
1. Tighten belts carefully.
2. Control tension.
Results in premature belt wear, distortion of the motor bracket and re-
sulting alignment errors of the belt pulley occur due to over tensioning
the belt.

9 Bracket 10 Timing belt direction of travel

▪ Pre-tighten the timing belt by hand by moving the motor suspension.

The approximation of a deflection at the center of the wire
of 2 - 3 kg/cm (10 - 15 lbs/inch) can be used as a guide value for
setting belt tension.
▪ Tighten the motor suspension fastening nuts. Turn the clamping
screw in to the unit and affix it using the counternut.
▪ Again check the belt tension and adjust if necessary.
Checking the Belt Run
WARNING
Checking the belt tension while running using hands or fingers
Crushing of body parts.
1. Never use hands or fingers to check the belt tension while the belt is
running and the drive bracket is open.
3. Secure against restart.
4. Allow the drive belt to come to a stop.
5. Disconnect from the material supply.
6. Read the documentation in its entirety and contact the manufacturer
if in any doubt.
▪ If using a tool of any kind, ensure that it does not become drawn into
the motor.
▪ A test run of the timing belt must be made to check the correct belt
run.
The timing belt will start up on the upper or lower lateral flange of the belt
pinion on the motor shaft, depending on the belt tension and minor cen-
ter-line errors.
▪ The timing belt must then bear completely on the belt pulley. A small
degree of deviation from the center of the pulley is permissible.
▪ The cogs must mesh cleanly with the belt pulley and belt pinion with-
out skipping individual cogs.
▪ Never overtighten the timing belt. If in doubt leave the timing belt
somewhat looser and contact the manufacturer.
▪ A greatly overtightened belt will run raw and appreciable clicking
noises will be audible. → Belt tension is much too high.

Correctly Set the Belt Tension
OBSERVE
Premature belt wear despite correct belt tension
– The alignment of the belt pulley must be checked at regular inter-
vals.
1. If any pitch arises, check the planar level of the motor and the motor
suspension and replace the suspension if necessary.
2. Set a lower belt tension if necessary with a renewed belt drive.
⇨ Safe operation.
▪ Switch off the motor

– Loosen the motor suspension fastening nuts on the lower side of
the bracket when the belt pulley is stopped and correct the belt
tension by loosening or tightening the clamping screw.
– The correction should be on the order of max. ¼ turn of the
clamping screw.
– Tighten the fastening nuts and affix the clamping screw.
– Re-check the belt tension when stopped after the belt run has
been inspected.
– Repeat the above steps if the belt tension is too great or too low.
▪ Replace the cover plate.
7.9 Compressed Air Connections
STRICTLY OBSERVE
Use of standard screwed connections with no filter elements (L1
and L2) or choke (F)
Damage to the measuring bearing seal and the drive shaft seal.
– Screwed connections may be used only with filter elements.
1. Use only standard screwed connections with filter elements for con-
nections L1 and L2 and F.
⇨ Operational machine and safe operation.

▪ Under no circumstances should you use standard screwed connec-

tions without filter elements (L1 and L2) and a choke (F).
▪ Only operate the machine with the connections shown and correctly
arranged
The following figures show first an overview and then the correct ar-
rangement of the connections.

Storage
The MULTICOR K must be protected from rain. This applies also to tem-
porary storage before assembly.
The usual dry storage rooms will suffice for storage. All openings on the
MULTICOR K must be closed with protective covers or plugs to protect it
from dust and foreign particles. The MULTICOR K may be stored in an
upright position only. This can be guaranteed by using the transport pal-
let only for transport.
The following steps must be taken if the machine will be stored for longer
than 6 months after the time of delivery:
▪ Treat polished metal surfaces with anti-corrosive agents,
▪ touch up any paint blemishes,
▪ Shrink-wrap the machine and add dehydrating agents.
After a 6 month storage the following steps must be taken:

▪ Visually inspect the machine for corrosion and paint blemishes and
renew the corrosion protection if necessary and re-paint the ma-
chine.
▪ Turn the measuring wheel by hand.
▪ if the machine is to be kept in storage, again shrink-wrap it, including
dehydrating agents.
Observe the 'Guidelines for Storage and Handling of Components, Ma-

chines and Systems Supplied' in the product documentation folder.
