SWECO_LM-3 FULL~FLO" SHAKER TRE ROLE OF A SWECO_LM—3 FULL“FLO’ SHAKER The SWECO LN~3 Full-Flo Shaker is a fine screen shaker. HOW THE SWECO LM@3 FUL! LO SHAKER WORKS The SWECO IM-3 Full-Flo Shaker is designed to do two primary jobs. It will separate solids from liquids and transport these solids rapidly and effi- ciently off the screens by the means of linear motion. VIBRATOR SYSTEM The motor, twin-tooth timing belt, shafts, bearings, and counterweights make up this unique system. The motor counter rotates two shafts and associated counterweights which, in turn, cause the basket to move in a linear motion. It is this motion that allows the solids te be transported uphill and off the screens while the liguid phase remains in contact with the screens for a longer period, resulting in increased feed volumes and drier solids discharge. See Figure 1. It is important to note that the basket motion has been carefully designed to give the unit optimum performance over a wide range of drilling conditions. No field modifications should be necessary to the vibrator systen. suo rr Incer scuios cteaw moo DIscnange Discharge FIGURE 1 LINEAR MOTION CONVEYING SOLIDS UPHILLIv. BASKET TILTING SYSTEM The SWECO LM-3 Full-Flo Shaker is equipped with a unique basket tilting mechanism providing up to 5° inclination for fluid retention with no interruptions in service. Tilting is performed simply by rotating a nut on a support bracket on each side of the dis . charge end. See Figure 2. Base support brackets have special safety pins witch also act as degree indicators. FIGURE 2 LN-3 BASKET TILTING SYSTEMVv. SCREEN TENSIONING SYSTEM ‘The SWECO LM-3 Full-Flo Shaker is equipped witn a quick-release screen tensioning system. It is designed to allow removal of screen panels from the shaker without completely disassembling the bolt, nut, and spacer combination. See Figure 3. A. WOOSEN NUT TWIST BOLT 8.

A claim for damage or loss should be reported to the carrier. A bill of lading has been signed by the transpor- tation company insuring that all items were received in good condition. Any discrepancies or shortages not appearing on the bill of lading should be reported immediately. I. INSTALLATION The following information provides the proper instal- lation procedures for an efficient and safe operation. Please follow the recommendations closely. As always, adequate working space, walkways, and handrails should be considered. A. LOCATION AND SUPPORT 1. The unit(s) must be level in both directions to ensure even fluid distribution. 2. Do not weld or attach discharge throughs to the vibrating deck.SECTION THREE - UNIT PREPARATION IMPORTANT: Read, the following instructions carefully. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the unit. AL I. REMOVE THE FOUR (4 ea.) SHIPPING BRACKETS AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE FOR REUSE. Remove the right counterweight cover and the belt guard cover plate and check: 1. Pulley alignment - end to end with a straight edge. 2. Nuts and bolts on pulleys, counterweights, bearing flanges. 3. Belt tension = proper belt deflection is 1/2" to 3/4" at the center, If belt is too tight or too loose, see Item 7.3 for adjustment. 4, Counterweight timing and alignment - see Item 7.3. 5. Rotate pulleys to ensure free rotation. 6. Replace cover , nuts, and lock washers. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and fasteners on shaker, par- ticularly those on the motor support and adjustment plates and vibrating basket. All nuts and bolts on the unit should be assembled with lock washers (other than screen tension bolts). Check to ensure the basket incline setting is the sane on beth sides and the safety pins are properly inserted. You are now ready to connect power (see 3.1) and install screens (see 3.2).ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Carefully proceed through this list to assure proper and safe operation of the unit(s): Determine voltage supplied to unit. Disconnect power from power supply te unit. Install power supply Install proper heaters (3 ea.) in starter box to match voltage supply. Remove cover on round junction box located at the center of the channel cross member above the the screens. Check wire connections for proper voltage. Note: The junction box on the motor is pre-wired and should not be changed. However, check for loose connections. Turn on power supply to unit. Push start button on starter box. NOTE: The pulley cover will not completely silence belt noise. However, if you hear any metal-to-metal contact or unusual noise, shut off the unit immediately for corrective measures. To shut down the unit, simply push the "OFF" button. IMPORTANT - Wire connections or wire nuts in motor Junction box must not be allowed to touch the inside of the J-box. Each connection should be (1) taped separately, (2) all wires bundled and taped, and (3) foam type packing placed around bundled wires.Il. SCREEN INSTALLATION Screen installation requires little time and effort. However, if you do not follow these basic steps, the result may be poor screen life and solids bypassing into the system. B. While the shaker is running, wash down the screen. C. Shut down shaker. D. Back off the four (4 ea.) coupling nuts on both draw bars - do not remove the nuts completely. E. Turn "fT" bolt 90 degrees and push through draw bar slot - remove draw bars. F, Remove screen panel. G. Important: Wash down panel area prior to instal- Ting ner new screens . Replace worn or missing rubber cushions. T. Carefully lay in new panel. J. Important: Do not bend a kink in screen panel. K. Important: Install and tighten draw bar on motor Gmc -EIsst. “There io a steip of oquare bsr stock (1/2"-x 172") welded along the hook strip edge which serves as an alignment guide. The screen panel must be aligned and tightened in this side first. L. Check to see that the screen panel edges do not hang over the flat rubber cushion or overlap the step down. M. Tighten opposite draw bar. N. Retighten all coupling nuts after 15 minutes of running. This can be done with the unit running.111. OPERATION The following sections will provide instructions for normal operation. Basically, the only changes or adjustments which can be made are screen mesh ang basket angle. These adjustments will depend upon your specified parameters, such as cir~ culating volume, viscosity, etc. If you are not familiar with screen selection, the flow chart (page ) will provide a guide and/or starting point. A. Angle of basket - The elevators adjust the dis- charge end of the vibrating basket from flat zero (0) degrees to an uphill five (5) degrees. CAUTION: Do not raise or lower one side more Than two (2) degrees at a time without adjusting the opposite side. It is recommended that the basket be set at three (3) degrees for normal conditions. This setting allows for an addi- tional two (2) degrees uphill incline to handle an increase of solids from surges. Note: Raising the deck angle moves the liquid pool towards the back of the shaker. sticky clays generally convey better at zero (0) degrees (or flat). B. Maximum efficiency setting - Maximizing the Full- Flo's efficiency is easily achieved. Processing 100 percent of the flow using the finest mesh Screens possible is the basic objective. Cuttings are generally dry enough for most applications with the end or “horseshoe” of the iiguid pool approximately one-third onto the end screen. C. SWECO recommends using the same mesh screen for all three panel sections. The cut point will normally be only as good as the coarsest mesh Screen. If you install a coarser mesh screen for any reason, it should be installed at the discharge end, D. If screens plug with sand, there are several methods by which the screens may be unplugged. If the screens are in the unit, rub the screens in a circular motion with a cloth rag or cloth gloves. Or, you may try blowing out the solids with high pressure air or water from the bottom. The screens must be removed for this. Caution: Never use a wire or stiff fiber brush on the Screens. Salt water will sometimes allow calcium deposits to coat the wires in the screen.OPERATION (Continued): As the layer of calcium increases in thickness around the wires, the openings become plugged off. This usually results in flooding. Steam cleaning will usually remove the calcium deposits. Other additives or chemicals which coat the screen wires can sometimes be removed with dilutea muratic acid. Use five (5) parts water to one (1) part muratic acid to wipe off screens. Flush screens and unit with water immediately after using. Caution: Muratic acid will cause skin and/or eye burns. Flush with water if skin, eye, or clothes contact is made.SECTION FOUR ~ MAINTENANCE The SWECO Full-Flo Shaker requires very little maintenance. However, there are several maintenance checks which, if done on @ regular basis, will provide extended service and performance. 1. LUBRICATION The spherical roller bearings at each shaft end (4 each) will provide thousands of hours of dependable service if lubricated on a reular basis with the Proper lubricant. There is a separate grease fitting located adjacent to each bearing (outside the weight covers). A. Shaft bearings ~ 10 shots of grease every days. Use only Texaco Premium RB Grease (Code No. 1939). C. Elevator thrust bearings - 5 shots every week. D. Elevator acme threaded stems - Wipe on grease ally, if required. E. Electric motor ~ No lubrication is required (sealed bearings). TI. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECKS A. Screen "I" bolts/coupling nuts - Check daily for tightness and replace any bent “T* bolts. B. Timing belt tension - Belt should be running within pulley flange surfaces, If there are signs of belt wear on teeth or edges, pulleys are either not alianed or belt is too loose. Check weekly for proper tension. D. Elevator pins - Pins should be inserted in proper holes to provide a leyel deck and take the load off of the stem assembly. 10ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECKS (Continued) Ee G. Te Discharge skirt - Check to ensure the rubber dis- charge skirt is not pushed back into the unders compartment. This will allow solids to re-enter the active mud system. i Unders compartment ~ Clean out any solids buildup which may ceuse the vibrating deck to bottom out or interfere with screening. Screen - Check for torn screens. Repair or replace. Screen rubbers - Check crown and flat rubbers for damage or wear. Replace. Nuts, bolts, fasteners - Ensure all nuts, bolts, and lock washers are in place and tight, particu- larly on the motor base assembly and vibrating deck. Listen for any loud or unusual noise - bearings, etc. eeSECTION FIVE - GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND INFORMATION Gumbo or sticky clays generally convey better on finer mesh screens (50's, 70's, and 80's) rather than coarse mesh screens (20's, 30's, and 40's). Finer mesh screens Provide a much smoother surface than coarse mesh. Gumbo and clay tend to plug the larger openings much more readily. Even though it appears finer mesh screens would not handle the volumes much of the time screening finer provides an immediate solution. Experiment with the basket elevators to determine the best setting. An industry-first, this fast and simple adjustment can be made while the unit is operating. Again, elevate each side no more than two degrees at a time. Do not allow substantial amounts of mud to build up inside the vibrating deck. This may affect the unit's performance. A buildup of solids on or around the motor may cause overheating. If solids being discarded are too wet or channeling to the sides of the end screen, 2 1/2" wide bead of silicone applied to a clean dry screen will generally help. To do this, see Pigure 6.DISCHARGE 1/2" WIDE SILICONE BEAD FIGURE 6 SILICONE BEAD APPLICATION (corrective CHANNELING OF SOLIDS OF END SCREEN ONLY. NOTE: Silicone can be applied with screen on unit or prior to installation, screen must be clean and dry. The timing belt will whine loudly if installed too tight. This will result in motor shaft failure. Occasionally check basket openings for bottoming-out. Worn or weak springs my allow the vibrating deck to bottom-out. This will soon cause damage to the unit. Replace springs immediately. The flat bed rubbers provide a positive seal around the screen panel. Worn or missing Fiat rubbers will result in solids bypassing into the active system. Always wash down screens before shutting down the unit for any length of time or before storing the screens. The basket elevators can be used to compensate for unlevel tanks for stands. However, it is recommended that the unit be shimmed, particularly if the job runs in this mode for any length of time. Otherwise, the basket load will be on the elevator threaded stem and not on the safety elevator pin. Relying on the locator pins is also faster and ensures a level screening area when changing basket angles. Walking or laying tools on the screens will generally result in screen damage. 43SECTION SIX - REPAIR This section covers those unscheduled repairs which can be made in the field without special tools. ri It. SCREEN TENSIONING COMPONENTS No one component of this system is particulary prone to failure. In order to replace a “T" bolt, the draw bar has to be removed. DRIVE AND VIBRATOR SYSTEM The only field repairs to the drive and vibrator system are the replacement of a worn bearing, a shaft, or a belt. NOTE: SWECO vibrator bearings are pressed into their housings with special equipment. For this reason, field repair should not be attempted on the vibrator bearing assembly - get a new one. Replace the entire assembly as a unit. Bearing or shaft replacement procedure: A. Turn off power supply to shaker. B. Remove the drive side belt guard cover. €. Loosen all four 1/2" nuts under the motor slider plate and the belt tensioning bolt and slide the motor towards the shafts to slacken the belt. D. Remove the belt. E. Remove the sheave from the motor shaft. F, Remove the helt guard and the counterweight cover. G. Remove the sheave, bushing, and the counterweight from the shaft to be replaced. Remove the shaft key. H, On the drive side, unbolt and remove the bearing cap. The bearing should then be visible. I, Using appropriate snap ring pliers, remove the snap ring on the shaft. J. Two 1/2" bolts can be screwed into the tapped holes on the bearing bracket to help pull the bracket out of the mounting ring. 14III. K. Carefully remove the loose bearing bracket assembly. Do not score the shaft. L. On the floating side, remove the bearing bracket assembly by repating Steps C - X. There is no snap ring on this side, so ignore Step F. M. The vibrator shaft should now be free and laying in the shaft tube. At this point, the vibrator shaft or the vibrator bearing assemblies can be replaced with new ones. Reinstallation is basically a reverse of the preceding steps with the following exceptions: N. The journals of the shaft or replacement shaft and taper lock bushings are to be greased with an aluminum base grease prior to reinstallation. ©. Do not forget to place O-rings around the bearing bracket and the bearing cap. P. If new vibrator bearing assemblies are used, each bearing should be greased wilh 50 strokes of grease. Q. Tighten the eight 1/2" bolts to 35 ft./lbs. R. Also the drive belt can be replaced at the same time; however, the proper timing procedure is described in the next chapter. TIMING OF COUNTERWEIGHTS The key to the linear motion of the SWECO LM-3 Full-Flo Shaker is the proper timing of the rotation of the two shafts. If the timing is not correct, the motion of the shaker is no longer linear, therefore affecting the performance of the unit. Follow these steps to establish a proper timing when installing a new belt: A. Loosen all four 1/2" nuts and the belt tensioning bolt of the motor sliding plate and push the motor all the way toward the shafts. B. With the belt guard in place and the belt guard cover removed, remove old belt by pulling it away from the unflanged center pulley. C. Install new belt around the two flanged pulleys. 15D. Hold the two shafts so that the straight top sections of the two counterweights are on a straight line. See Figure 7. While holding the shafts in place, push the belt over the unflanged pulley. Carefully rotate the belt tensioning bolt to pull the motor away from the shafts to increase belt tension. Check belt tension after tightening the slider plate nuts since this will increase belt tension. Proper belt deflection is 1/2" to 3/4" at the center. Tighten the jam nut on the belt tensioning bolt and replace the belt guard cover. TWIN TIMING BELT COUNTER WEIGHT VIBRATING BASKET FIGURE 7 LINEAR MOTION 16Iv. VARYING VIBRATING BASKET AMPLITUDE The amplitude of the SWECO LM-3 Shaker basket has been set at the factory to provide maximum solids conveyance and screen life under a broad range of eperating conditions. It is possible, however, to decrease or increase the amplitude to accommodate special operating requirements. IMPORTANT: Since increasing the amplitude will have “~~~ a negative effect on the screen life, as well as on the bearings and basket life, contact your nearest SWECO representative for further information prior to increasing the amplitude. Follow these steps to change the vibrating basket amplitude: A. Loosen all four 1/2" nuts and the belt tensioning bolt of the motor sliding plate and push the motor all the way toward the shafts. B. With the belt guard in place and the belt guard cover removed, remove belt and loosen all three pulleys from their bushings. C. Remove the belt guard, pulleys, and the bushings from the vibrator shafts. D. The two drive side counterweight assemblies are now accessible and this quantity of the weight Plates can be changed by removing the three 1/2” nuts on each counterweight bracket. E, Two 1/4" thick counterweight plates are installed by the factory, and by reducing the number of plates, the amplitude will be reduced approximately by 25% per each 1/4" plate. Increasing the number ef plates will increase the amplitude. WARNING: Do not exceed three (3) 1/4" thick counterweight plates on each counter- weight bracket or serious structural damage to the vibrating basket can occur. F. To change the plates on the opposite side of the basket, simply remove the cover and the counter~ weights are readily accessible. vvIMPORTANT: Make sure that all four counterweight brackets have the same number of same type of counterweight plates and the nuts are properly tightened. G. When reassembling the bushings, pulleys, and covers follow the instructions in Section Six, Items II and III. 18Item Part No. 1m3¢11000 04-125 LM3C00096 05-176 93-145 05-109 03-131 04-585 14310010 14310009 14300087 Lm3N00095 14300071 La3c00041 Lm3N00076 1M3C10316 1M3C10307 05-103 03-132 Lm3C30413 07-332 LM3K10026 05-150 04-623 04-709 £M3010413 143000036 TS4K04102 LM3800044 LM3C10300 143800152 143810013 03-272 03-161 04-217 “Tension bolt.
