3.0 Lifting Procedure

Extreme care must be taken to prevent damage when moving assembled conveyors or components. Use properly rated slings that are capable of handling the equipment. 1. Spreader bars with slings are the recommended support method for lifting.

2. When lifting equipment, ensure proper lift points are used.

3. Unsupported span should be no greater than 12 feet.

4. Unusually heavy items such as drives or gates shall be considered when choosing support

points because of load balance and their bending effect.

NEVER LIFT A CONVEYOR WITH ONLY ONE SUPPORT POINT.

4.0 Installation Procedure

After proper fitting or placement of the equipment, ensure that the power source is isolated and locked out before proceeding. Check for installation of any safety equipment (if applicable) such as, belt guards, coupling guards, horns, beacons, pull cords, etc. PSI does not install conveyors. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, or owner/user to install, operate and maintain the conveyor and/or components in a manner so as to comply with OSHA and all State and Local laws and ordinances. Check all assemblies or parts with shipping papers and inspect for damage. Specifically, check for dented or bent troughs, bent flanges, bent flights, bent pipe or hangers or other damaged parts. If any components are damaged in transit or as received, claims should be filed immediately with the carrier.

FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, OPERATE AND MAINTAIN CONVEYORS AND/OR

COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.

1. Use proper tools and methods in installation of screw conveyors to prevent injury.

2. Place conveyor troughs in proper sequence with inlet and discharge spout properly located.

3. Connect the trough flanges loosely. Do not tighten bolts.

4. Align the trough bottom center-lines perfectly using piano wire (or equivalent). Tighten flange bolts. Tighten all anchor bolts.

Pre-assembled conveyors are match marked as shown above. Conveyors purchased as parts while not match marked are field assembled in the same manner.

5. After trough assembly, assembly of conveyor screws should always begin at the thrust end.

Most screw conveyors can be designed with little thought given to thrust as the thrust force in an ordinary screw conveyor is moderate and commonly used screw conveyor drives will accommodate thrust in either direction. The direction of thrust in a screw conveyor or feeder is opposite to the flow of material being conveyed. If the unit does not require a thrust unit, assembly should begin at the drive end. If a thrust end is designated, assemble trough end and

thrust bearing. Insert the drive shaft in the end bearing. Do not tighten set screws until conveyor assembly is completed.

6. Place the first screw section in the trough, slipping the drive shaft into the pipe end. Secure

tightly with coupling bolts.

7. If supporting lugs on ends or flights are used, install so these are opposite the carrying side of the flight.

8. Place a coupling shaft into the opposite end of conveyor pipe.

9. Install and tighten coupling bolts. Insert coupling shaft into hanger bearing and clamp hanger to trough.

10. Assemble, alternately, conveyor screws, couplings and hangers until all screws are installed.

a. With Hangers: Assemble screw sections so that flight at each end is approximately 180

o from ends of flight adjacent sections. Also, adjust conveyor screw and thrust

unit so that hangers are equally spaced between adjacent screws.

b. Without Hangers: (Close Coupled) Assemble screws so that flight at adjoining ends of screw sections align to produce a continuous surface.

NOTE: If the conveyor is ordered as Shop Assembled/Disassembled for shipment, the coupling holes will have been drilled in assembly to allow for flight alignment.

11. Remove hanger clamps and bolt hanger to trough with the bearing centered between

conveyor screws. Prior to installing inlets, trough covers, etc. make sure that all foreign material, debris, nuts, bolts, etc. are removed from the conveyor.

4.1 Final Assembly

1. Install trough covers in proper sequence keeping the batten in the proper direction.

Handle covers with care to avoid warping or bending.

2. Attach covers to troughs with fasteners provided.

3. Install drive package at proper location and in accordance with separate drive

instructions provided.

4. With Estop, Horn, and Beacon (if applicable): Follow wiring diagram at the end of this manual. The Horn and Beacon devices are typically installed at or near the starter and are wired into the starter.

NOTE: Once the start button is pressed, the beacon light and horn will turn on immediately and the conveyor has a 10 second delay as a safety feature before it starts to turn.

NOTE: Reducers are shipped without oil. Check that all bearings are lubricated (see Lubrication Guide after the next section).

4.2 First Run

Check screw rotation for proper direction of material travel after electrical connections have been made, but before putting product into the conveyor.

If necessary, reconnect electrical leads to reverse rotation of motor to provide proper direction of travel of product in the conveyor.

1. Run the conveyor dry (without product) for a period of 6 to 10 hours.

2. Check for alignment.

3. Re-adjust hanger bearings if necessary and make sure all connections are fastened

and tightened properly.

Bearings are normally lubricated at the factory with a Shell Aluania #2 grease for sizes up to 5" bore and above a 5" bore with Mobil Mobilux #2EP.

4. Re-lubricate with lithium-base grease or grease which is compatible with original

lubricant and suitable for bearing service.

Only personnel completely familiar with these precautions should be authorized to operate the conveyor(s). Failure to follow the precautions can cause severe injury and/or damage to the equipment. ALWAYS operate the conveyor(s) in accordance with instructions in this bulletin and the warning labels as shown and described in this bulletin

5.0 Startup Procedure

Before proceeding, check all fasteners to make sure that they are tight and that all parts are secure prior to continuing.

With this inspection complete, check motor rotation to assure that product will be conveyed toward the discharge point of the units.

Page 11: Conveyor Operation, Maintenance, & Technical Manual0104.nccdn.net/1_5/150/258/3db/Conveyor-Manual-CM-001-Rev6.pdf · PSI Conveyor Operation, Maintenance, & Technical Manual ... 4.0

PSI Conveyor Operation, Maintenance, & Technical Manual Process Solutions International Rev 006 08/11/2014

CM-001 Company Propriety and Confidential

During operation, it is recommended that the conveyor system be inspected for leaks and noises. If you discover a leak, turn off and lock out the motor, so that it cannot be turned back on during maintenance, inspect and tighten or replace any faulty fasteners. During the shutdown, inspect all internal fasteners in the hangers to assure the hanger bearings are tight and are providing proper alignment of the screw. Also, inspect the hanger bearings for excessive wear. If excessive wear is present, then replace hanger bearing, to maintain proper screw alignment.

6.0 Routine Maintenance

Use proper lock-out/tag-out precautions when performing maintenance.

Once the unit is placed into full operation, a Preventative Maintenance Program should begin. This program should include regular inspection set up on a periodic basis.

The Preventive Maintenance Program should include a general inspection of:

Screw flight and hanger bearings for possible damage and/or wear.

Loose, worn and/or damaged coupling bolts.

Guards are all in place and properly installed.

Re-lubrication schedule.

Seals for leakage.

Shafts for wear or elongation in the bolt hole and check for run-out.

Troughs for excessive wear or buildup.

Bearings for operating temperature, signs of wear (noise) and lubrication.

Drives

V-belts of V-belt drives for wear on belts and proper tension.

Roller chains or chain drives for lubrication and proper tension.

Oil in gearbox.

Check sheave alignment.

Practice good housekeeping. Keep the area around the conveyor and drive equipment clean and free of obstacles to provide easy access and to avoid interference with the function of the conveyor and drive.

To replace conveyor screw sections, follow all safety procedures and proceed as follows:

1. Removal of a section, or sections, usually must proceed from the end opposite the

drive. Make sure drive and electrical power are disconnected before starting to disassemble.

2. Remove the trough end, section of screws, coupling shafts and hangers until all sections have been removed or until the damaged or worn sections are reached and removed.

3. To reassemble, follow the above steps in reverse order.

4. Quick disconnect screws can be removed at intermediate locations without first removing adjacent sections.

Replacement parts can be identified from a copy of the original shipping list, invoice or drawing.

8.0 Technical Manual Contents

8.1 General Description

A screw conveyor is one of the oldest and most economical methods of handling bulk materials. Items ranging from packaging peanuts to drill cuttings are moved with conveyors. A screw conveyor consists primarily of an auger that rotates in a stationary trough or tube. Materials placed in the trough are moved along its length by rotation of the flights and is supported by trough end plates with bearings and hanger bearings to maintain proper alignment. Inlets, outlets, gates and other accessories control the material and its disposition. Screw conveyors handle almost any bulk material efficiently and economically. A system can be comprised of a single stand-alone unit or a configuration of a multitude of units with other associated components performing together.

DESIGN FEATURES

Screw conveyors move materials either horizontally or on an incline. They are used to distribute, collect or mix. With the proper covers and gaskets, they are easily made dust or weather tight. Screw conveyors are set up to either pull or push, depending on the relationship between the drive and discharge location. Standard augers (or screws) are a 1:1 relationship between the diameter and pitch of the flighting. For example, a standard 12” diameter conveyor has a 12” pitch on the flights. By altering the pitch of the flighting, you can increase or decrease the amount of product conveyed per revolution. In addition to merely moving product, screw conveyors can be obtained that will mix or blend. Both left and right-handed helixes are available to tailor a system to each application.

The following features are included with all PSI Screw Conveyors:

Drive Section: The conveyor section, which has the gearbox and motor mounted, either directly to or in closest proximity to it. This section consists of the drive and all of its components, trough end plate, screw, trough, and cover. For a pulling conveyor, a discharge spout will be fixed to the trough, typically close to the drive to maximize conveying length.

Mid-Section: The conveyor section, that couples to the drive section when 3 or more sections are being joined together. It consists of a trough, screw, cover, hanger frame, hanger bearing, and coupling shaft. The mid-section contains the least number of parts. (Some conveyor configurations may not have this section).

Tail Section: The conveyor section, which is the “terminal end” of the system. It will have the discharge spout, when set up as a pushing system. This section is the farthest away from the drive section and will follow any mid sections. The tail section consists of all the same components as the mid-section plus; a trough end flange, waste pack seal, tail shaft and the idle end bearing. The idle end bearing can be mounted either directly to the trough end plate or a pillow block bearing can be used. (In some conveyor configurations this may be the same as the Drive Section.)
