Cement Unit RCS - Boltec 1 Introduction

1 Introduction

1.1 Safety First

Always read the information in the Safety manual before starting to use the machine or
starting maintenance work.

1.2 Purpose of this Publication

This manual is intended to:
• Give an overall description of methods, required calculations, and settings.
• Give an overall description of machine features.
• Instruct the operator in applicable controls, handling, and operation.
• Instruct the operator in operator maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Detect and rectify faults at an early stage so that breakdowns, costly secondary dam-
age, and accidents can be prevented.
• Regular maintenance is a precondition for planning necessary interruptions in opera-
tion such as reconditioning and repairs.
• Allows maintenance to be carried out when most suitable with regard to production in-
stead of causing complete breakdown.

1.3 Target Group

The information in this publication is intended for everyone involved in the application, op-
eration, and maintenance of the machine and related equipment. All readers are expected
to possess basic competence regarding mining methods, construction methods, and the
machines used for that kind of operation.

1.4 Product Warranty

The product warranty relies on correct use, maintenance, and repair of the machine and its
components at all times.
• Use only Epiroc original parts. Any damage or operational interruptions caused by us-
ing spare parts of other manufactures than Epiroc will not be covered by warranty.
• Epiroc is not liable for any damage caused by unauthorized modification to the ma-
chine and its equipment.
• Epiroc is not liable for damage caused by inappropriate use.
• Overloading the machine can result in damage to the structure which is not noticed
during normal usage. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
• Damage that occurs as a result of inadequate maintenance, substandard repairs, or
damage to equipment that is attributable to older unrepaired damage, is not covered
by the warranty.
• Read Epiroc policy warranty.

The objective for the daily inspection of the machine is to:

• Detect faults at an early stage
• Facilitate servicing
• Allow scheduled maintenance and planned reconditioning work to be performed
• Prevent costly secondary damage
• Prevent breakdowns
• Prevent personal injury

! NOTE: Operate the machine or the machine equipment, only if all the faults are recti-
fied.

! NOTE: Certain points must be checked repeatedly in a day. For example, before each
work shift.

The water is filled through water valve. When the valve closes there is always a certain
amount of the residual running water.
The valve must be closed immediately when the correct amount of water is filled in the
mixer.
Shut off water valve weight diff: Sets the estimated volume of water that flows after the
water valve has closed.
Water weight timeout: An absolute maximum time limit for how long water filling is al-
lowed to continue. The procedure is stopped automatically when the maximum time is
reached, and the operator receives an error message.

3.1.4 M8.3.2 Cement Parameters Cement Unit

When the water is filled to the correct volume in the cement mixer, the filling of cement
powder starts. Use weighing instrument to weigh the cement powder.
When the filling of cement powder starts, a small percentage of the dry cement is filled.

! NOTE: Start phase 1 is only activated for the first mixing after a pre-wash has been
done.

Cement screw speed, phase 1: Set the speed of the cement screw in phase 1.
Start phase 2: Set the percentage value of cement powder to be filled before phase 2
starts.
Phase 2 starts when the set percentage value is filled, and continues to fill cement powder
till the value of Pulse cement weight diff remains.
Cement screw speed, phase 2: Set the speed of the cement screw in phase 2.
Pulse cement weight diff: Set the value (kg) of cement powder to be filled during the final
pulse phase.

When the set value remains the final pulse phase starts. The remaining quantity of cement
powder is pulsed in with small doses.
Cement pulse length and Cement pulse delay: Set the dosing size of the remaining ce-
ment powder to be pulsed.
Cement weight timeout: Set the absolute maximum limit for how long time the cement fill-
ing must be allowed to continue.
For example, the cement container is empty or another fault exists that prevents the sys-
tem from filling the correct quantity of cement powder, then the procedure is stopped auto-
matically when the maximum time is reached, and the operator receives an error message.
Cement screw speed: Set the speed that is required in the event of manual filling from the
mixing station panel.
Cement screw, reverse speed: Set the time for which the cement screw is run backwards
to prevent it from pinching in.
Cement screw, reverse interval: Set for how often the cement screw must run back-
wards.
Vibrator run time and Vibrator interval: Determine the intervals of the vibrators to pre-
vent the cement powder from binding to the walls of the mixer.
The Injection pump speed, up: Set how fast the mixed and ready cement must be
pumped into the drill hole.
Injection pump speed, down: Set how fast the mixed and ready cement must be pumped
into the drill hole.
Injection pump min speed: Set how fast the mixed and ready cement must be pumped
into the drill hole.
Cement pump warning time: The system sends a warning to indicate that the cement
pump, and accordingly the cement, has stood still the set time.

Washing max weight: Set the max water level in the mixer during final cleaning. The
value determines when the washing valves close. This parameter must be set so that the
mixer is not overfilled, resulting in unnecessary water splashes.
Washing min weight: Set the min water level in the mixer during final cleaning. The water
level in the mixer drops gradually. When reaching the set value, the washing valves open
and the valves fill again to Washing max weight.
Washing time, pump: Set time for cleaning the cement pump and cement hose.
Injection pump cleaning speed: Set the speed of the pump during pump cleaning. This
parameter does not affect pump speed during cement injection.
Dust collector speed: Set the speed of the dust collector. The dust collector is used to
suck up cement dust when filling the cement silo.
