HEALTH AND SAFETY

- This manual is intended to supply the basic knowledge required for proper, safe and
economical use of the equipment we have delivered, and also inform you of any potential
dangers.

- Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must have read the operating instructions
and in particular the section on safety before beginning work.

- Under no circumstances should any guard be removed for adjustment or maintenance of

the machine when it is in motion. Whoev6er is carrying out any work on the machine
should ensure that it is properly isolated and that he/she is in possession of the isolating
key.

- It is also necessary to ensure that associated equipment is made safe, especially if work
has to be carried out inside the equipment. In additional to isolating the electric supplies to
this equipment, check that steam, water and pneumatic services, etc. are turned off and
pressure is exhausted to atmosphere, if they are likely to present any danger.

- On completion of inspection/repairs ensure that all guards are replaced and correctly fitted
before start-up.

- Do not employ untrained operating personnel in the danger area.

- The operator must observe the regulations in these operating instructions.

- The operator must observe the national safety regulations.

- Adhere to all regulations on repairing of faults in the operating sequence.

- Observe all cleaning and service regulations.

- Ensure that all repairs are carried out by expert personnel.

- Comply with the intervals specified in the operating instructions for routine checks and
maintenance work.

ROTOR INSTALLATION

UNDER ROTOR WEAR PLATE

Fit under-rotor wear plate. This item fits on top of the extraction chamber and is held in
position by socket head cap screws. When fitting this plate ensure that the two wash water
inlet holes line up with the water inlet position drilled through the support plate.

ROTOR BODY

To fit rotor body firstly check fit of key in both drive shaft and rotor body keyways. Apply an
anti-fretting compound, such as graphite paste to tapered section of the drive shaft, this will
allow easier removal of rotor body when it becomes necessary.

Fit body to shaft and check clearance between underside and top of wear plate, assuming
clearance is a satisfactory fit, retaining thrust plate.

PERFORATED BEDPLATE

The under rotor perforated bedplate may be supplied s a complete ring or as segment
dependent on size and type of pulper. The bedplate is fitted and secured to the top of the
extraction chamber, it is held in position by socket head cap screws.. These holes have
socked screws in them which, when removed, allow eyebolts to be screwed in to them. To
remove the bedplate, it is first necessary to remove the rotor.

VANE RING

The rotor vane ring fits to the rotor body. Firstly slacken the tapered screws which expand
the vane ring driving pins located in the top face of the rotor body. Lower the ring onto the
rotor body lining-up the drive pins with the corresponding holes in the vane ring. Level the
vane ring and set the clearance between underside of vanes and the perforated bedplate to
a nominal clearance above the bedplate of 1.5 mm by adjustment of the levelling screws
surrounding the center opening of this plate. Number each vane from 1 to 8 in chalk.

(a) Check and note the clearance dimensions between each vane and the bedplate noting
the vane number.

(b) Turn the rotor assembly 180°.

(c) Recheck clearance between each vane and the bedplate and compare these with
previous readings for the same vanes.

The correct setting for the particular installation will be found specified on the certified
general arrangement and foundation plan drawing and this is now obtained by the use of a
feeler gauge inserted at various points round the circumference of the vane plate after the
levelling screws have been adjusted. With the required gap established each drive pin is
screwed down to obtain the maximum grip. The levelling screws are also locked in position.

All that remains to be done is fit the rotor cap, this is held in position by socket head cap
screws.

ROTOR REMOVAL

Details of thrust plate, spacer and hexagon head screws are shown, together with a section
which shows method of rotor removal. These parts are to be supplied by the customer.

NOTE
The wear plate item 11 is supplied with 2 holes tapped M24 located in the counter bores of
the inner ring of holes. These holes are for lifting the wear plate only, and under no
circumstances are they to be used for attempting to lift the extraction chamber. Should it
become necessary to lift the extraction chamber, the wear plate must first be removed and
the extraction chamber lifted using the 4 M24 holes tapped for that purpose.

ROTOR VANE ADJUSTMENT

1. Remove rotor cap.
2. Loosen pipe plug in vane pins.
3. Remove fixing screws and vane hold down washers from levelling screws.
4. Make necessary adjustment to rotor vane with levelling screws.
5. Reverse procedure to lock rotor vane in position.

VOKES ROTOR SET UP PROCEDURE

1. Check beads on perforated plate, level with beads on top of wear plate.
2. Assembly rotor body on shaft & check clearance between underside of rotor body & top
of wear plate. Adjust extraction chamber packers to obtain 5 mm clearance.
3. Assembly rotor vane on rotor body & adjust to obtain stated clearance between rotor
vane & perforated plate.
4. Check clearance between rotor vane & rotor body to ensure a minimum clearance of 5.5
mm available for future site adjustment for wear.
