Oil Filter
• Filter Fault
– The Clutch Controller (Master Unit) will ignore the filter switch for the first 30 minutes once the engine has
been started. This is to allow for cold start up when the filter will be in by-pass
– Once this 30 minutes has elapsed and there is a filter fault while operational the Clutch Controller will
start a 15 minute count down. It will also flash a beacon (if fitted) and flash the “Filter Clogged” LED.
– If after this time the clutch has not been stopped then the Clutch Controller will disengage the clutch

How To – Understanding Clutches
• During engagement
– If the battery voltage to the clutch controller drops below 20Volts
– Too great a difference between the input and output speed (if you attempt an engagement and the mass is still
spinning)
– Engine speed dropped to zero or lost during engagement.
• While engaged
– Clutch oil pressure 10% below 225Psi for a set period continually
– Temperature fault after being present for 15minutes.
– Filter clogged after 15 minutes of being engaged.
– Engine speed dropped below 500 rpm.
– Too great a difference between the input and output speed
• Lockout
– In a lock out situation you will need to run the engine for five minutes continuously to clear the lock out fault.

Desch Revox
The Desch Revox wet clutch is specifically developed for the drive line for jaw and impact crushers
It features a soft start up, 3 connections for hydraulic pumps and a reverse drive option
For the reverse drive option the clutch is equipped with a connection to assemble an attachment on the gearbox side
The drive pulley mounted on the output shaft is connected to the crushing chamber by vee belts
Technical details are listed below

Start up overview
Prior to clutch engagement an auxiliary start up hydraulic motor is used for a soft start with the engine at idle speed producing
adequate flow to the motor
The auxiliary motor is located on the engine side of the gearbox housing and accelerates the chamber rotor from start to the idle
speed of the engine

Start up overview
The auxiliary start up motor is directly connected to the output shaft
When the engine and output shaft are running at 800 rpm and 560 rpm respectively the clutch will engage allowing the engine
speed to be increased to working speed
The start-up time varies depending on oil flow and resistance from the crushing chamber unit
If there is a chamber blockage, start-up may not be possible and the PLC will stop oil flow to the start-up motor after 30 seconds
and flag an alarm on the PDM
Due to the hydraulic start-up function a dedicated electronic controller is not necessary
The PLC continuously monitors the engine, output shaft, crusher RPM and the E Stop circuit and can drop the oil flow to the start
up motor or clutch actuation at any time

Start up procedure
The machine is keyed on, the engine start request input is received by the PLC and the ECU allows the engine to crank
Oil is then supplied to the PVG banks
Port 2a on the LHS PVG and port 3b on the RHS PVG valve switch on
The start up motor is now engaged and allows the rotor speed to pick up
The PLC monitors the start up motor
and rotor

Start up procedure
During start up port 2a on the LHS PVG is turned on to raise pressures to the PVG slices and clutch switch ON circuit to 41 bar
The start up motor becomes the pump and re circulates oil around the circuit taking from the distribution manifold as necessary
At synchronising speed port 3a on the RHS PVG is turned off and stops the oil supply to the start up motor

The clutch solenoid will be turned on allowing oil flow to the clutch actuation
This pressure will be continuously monitored
The engine will then ramp up to working speed

PLC connections
The clutch start signal allows the oil flow to the start up motor to take the rotor from idle to clutch engagement speed
The output power is sent from Node 1
The PWM signal is sent from the PLC
These are sent via the hydraulic cabinet harness to the solenoid of slice 3 on the PVG
The ramp up time can be adjusted by the user ( top level password required)
The desired clutch output speed is calculated using a 0.7 ratio ( engine to clutch speed)
The on/ off solenoid switches on to allow oil to be diverted to engage the clutch once ramp up/ synchronisation success
Node 1 connections
Other remaining inputs and output connections are operated through the CANBUS and Node 1
Clutch Pre-Start( X21 Pin 1) turns on PVG LHS Slice 2b to supply the required 41bar + 3bar for the clutch to start
This connection runs from the Node 1 through the hydraulic cabinet harness and connects to the solenoid via SKT 69

Node 1 connections
The clutch pressure sensor ( X11 Pin 14) monitors the clutch pressure
Alarm – Clutch pressure fault – Less than 37 bar, more than 41 bar – Clutch will not engage
Alarm – Clutch low pressure fault – Less than 33 bar for 5 seconds – Clutch will shut down under control
Alarm – Clutch high pressure fault – More than 46 bar for 5 seconds - Clutch will shut down under control
The clutch gear oil temperature sensor ( X11 Pin 12) monitors gear oil temperature
Alarm – Clutch temperature warning fault – More than or equal to 100 degrees for 30 seconds – Warning displayed on PDM
Alarm – Clutch temperature shutdown – More than or equal to 105 degrees for 60 seconds – Controlled shutdown and warning
displayed on PDM
Node 1 connections
The clutch output speed sensor ( X10 Pin 4) monitors the clutch output speed
Alarm – No output speed detected – No output speed detected at Start up – Clutch will not engage
Alarm – Clutch speed fault – If equal to or minus 50 rpm of desired output speed at Start up – Clutch will not engage
Alarm – Clutch slow speed fault – minus 2.5% of desired clutch output speed – Clutch will not engage
The crusher output speed sensor ( X10 pin 2) is located at the driven pulley and monitors the crusher output speed, it is a
proximity sensor and counts 6 pulses for each revolution of the chamber rotor
