7.2.2 (B) Collection Conveyor


The collection conveyor is attached to the Tesab chassis for the purpose of
collecting material from the screen unit and then transferring the screened
material to the fines side conveyor.

The collection conveyor belt is driven by a hydraulic motor.

It is fully skirted; belt tension adjustments can be made at the bottom of the
conveyor under the screenbox.

7.2.3 (C) Screen Unit

The screen unit is attached at the end of the Tesab feed conveyor where it screens
raw material into different sizes.

The screen unit is direct driven by a hydraulic motor and flexible coupling.

The screenbox angle is changed by raising or lowering the screenbox


hydraulically.

To prepare for operation, raise the screenbox. To prepare for transport, lower the
screenbox.

The screenbox has 4 rubber isolators. These prevent the screenbox from moving
while in transport position.

Before the Tesab is towed on the highway the Screenbox must be lowered into the
towing position.
Section Page

7 Design and function 9

7.2 Machine construction units

7.2.3 (C) Screen Unit


This is a two-bearing Screenbox which gives three-way separation of raw
material.

Meshes of differing sizes are available to cater for all applications.


Finger decks. Punch plate and Bofor bars are an option.

The screen unit consists of a 2 Deck screenbox fitted with 2 flange mounted
bearings (1) and a sealed pipe unit.

Within the pipe unit and rotating on the two bearings is an eccentric screen shaft
(2).

On the outer end of the screen shaft is fitted a flywheel complete with weights (3)
and coupling (4).

The screen shaft is driven from the motor fitted (5) on the Screenbox flywheel
guard (6).

The subframe in turn is rigidly connected to the chassis of the machine.

Screen springs (7) are used to support the Screenbox totally.

7.3 Machine construction units

7.2.3
(C) Screen Unit

The rotation of the screen shaft (2) causes the screen unit to follow a circular path
and provide the screening action (i.e. vibration.)

The natural motion of the Screenbox would be to cause an undesirable “out of-
balance” reaction.

To prevent this two flywheels are mounted on the screen shaft to balance the
Screenbox.

These flywheels (3) are normally fitted with additional balance weights (flywheel
weights), to adjust their overall weight to compensate for varying weights of
Screenbox as a result of different sizes of meshes being fitted.

Hence the two-bearing screen unit can easily be adjusted (tuned) to achieve
perfect overall balance and transmit no vibration into the subframe or chassis.

14.4 Tracks trouble shooting

(i) One Track not operating or operating slower than the other
- Check that the same size of Motors have been fitted to both Tracks.
- Check if the brake is releasing.

Fit a pressure clock to the Brake Hose. A pressure of at least 285 PSI / 20 bar is
required to release the brakes.

If the correct pressure is not going to the Brake hose it is likely to be a problem with the
Motion Control Block possibly contamination. If a Load Control Valve should jam due to
oil-entrained debris then the likelihood is that it will not open and will not allow the motor
to turn in one direction.

This will cause the Host Machine to ‘crab’ in one direction. Swapping the valves over
from one Track to the other will usually transfer the problem to the opposite direction.

Similarly, if the Brake Pressure Regulator Valve is jammed due to debris the motor will
stop turning on one side. Swap the Pressure Regulator from the opposite block to see if
the problem is in the Brake Valve.
Try removing the Valves and cleaning them thoroughly taking care not to damage the
external cavity seals.
Also check the ports in the Block for dirt etc. If this does not work replace the valves
with new ones. Always cross-reference the part numbers on the new valves with the old
valve, before fitting. It is critical that the correct Valves are fitted. Valves should never be
dismantled as no internal seals or parts are available.

If the valves continue to jam then the oil in the hydraulic system is not being filtered to
the required level of cleanliness.

If the correct pressure is going to the Brake Hose then the Motor, Brake or Brake Piston
Seals may be damaged.

- To check for a Motor fault swap over the Motors on the two Tracks. If the fault is in the
Motor, replace with a new Motor.
- To check for a faulty Brake remove the Motor and look into the Gearbox for heat
discolouration and/or fragments of Brake disc. If the fault is in the Brakes the complete
Gearbox will have to be replaced.
-To check for faulty Brake Piston seals remove the Motor. If there is Hydraulic oil in the
Gearbox entrance then the seals are damaged. While it may be possible to replace
these seals on-site we strongly recommended that a replacement Gearbox is fitted and
an overhaul of the damaged Gearbox be carried out off-site.

14.4 Tracks trouble shooting (continued)

(ii). Excessive oil leaking around Drive Assembly

- Seals damaged between Motion Control Block and Motor.

Remove Motion Control Block and replace seals.


Note: Seal damage may be caused by excessive oil temperatures. Check oil operating
temperature and environmental conditions.

- Seal damaged between Motor and Gearbox.

Remove Motor and replace seal.


Note: Seal damage may be caused by excessive oil temperatures. Check oil operating
temperature and environmental conditions.

(iii) Track will not stay tensioned


- Grease escaping.
Check that the Track Adjuster Grease Valve is tight, has a properly fitted seal and that
there is no grease leaking past it.
Check around the Tensioning Cylinder for escaping grease. This will indicate that the
seals are damaged in the Tensioning Cylinder. Replace with a new Cylinder
immediately.

(iv) Track Group running off Sprocket and/or Idler

- Track Group too loose. Check Track tension


- Excessive misalignment. Check alignment of Sprocket, Idler and Track Rollers.
- Excessive component wear. Check wear limits,
- Twisted Track Frame. Check Track Frame.

v) Excessive Component Wear Rate

- Included in this section

(vi) Track Roller leaking oil

- Damaged or worn seals. Replace with a new Track Roller.
