6.4.2 Install screening element


Make sure the new element is of the same size and is provided with the
correct type of hook strips at both ends.

NOTE! Different types and sizes of screening elements need matching tensional
forces. It is impossible to provide exact data for all available elements.
General guidelines:
- rigid metal elements need more tensional force than thin rubber elements
- tighten tensional screws alternately in small steps
- elements should not flutter during operation
- attend to any jarring sounds during start-up
a) Carefully position the screening element through the feed, and push it
into place.
b) Adjust the tensional screws alternately clockwise in small steps. Make
sure the hook strips on the element grip the hook plate on the screen
body and the tensional hook plate.
CAUTION! The tensional force must match the type of element installed.
Tightening the tensional screws too much can cause damage on hook
plates, screening elements and support bars.

c) Continue adjusting alternately in small steps until the element is


sufficiently tensioned. Make sure the element takes the correct position.

6.4.3 Blinding
The screen deck can be temporary or permanently blinded by exchanging the
screening element to a rubber coated plate, using the same dimensions and
design as the corresponding screening element.

7.3.1 Lubrication and greasing


The bearings must be re-lubricated periodically. Grease nipples fitted as
standard on the motor housing. Before refilling, ensure that they are clean to
prevent contamination.
Recommended grease is Esso Unirex N3. If mixing of grease is unavoidable,
use only Lithium complex alternatives.
Grease cavities should never be filled above one third of their capacity and
bearing caps should be removed occasionally to clean out excess grease.
CAUTION! Overgreasing causes overheating of the bearings and must be avoided.
Old grease should periodically be removed and the bearings should cleaned
and repacked with new grease.
Re-lubrication intervals are based on continuous operation in ambient
temperature up to 20º C and should be reduced as follows for increases in
ambient temperature 25º C x 0.8, 30º C x 0.65, 35º C x 0.5, 40º C x 0.4.
Above 40º C, consult Sandvik.
Data is provided as a guide only and intervals should be shortened/
lengthened based on service experience with the particular application.

7.3.2 Exchanging bearings

Remove bearings
a) Remove the end cover (4).
b) Remove circlip and both out of balance weights (6) (noting position of
weights to keep the same setting after re-assembly).
c) Remove the outer grease retainer (3).
d) Use an extractor tool to remove the outer race, cage and rollers (12) from
the bearing housing.
e) Use an extractor tool to remove the inner race from the rotor shaft.

Cleaning
Clean out old grease before refitting new bearings.

When refitting bearings, smear inside recess in housing with grease, lightly
pack the outer race and rollers (12) with grease, forcing some well into the
working parts.
a) Refit into the bearing housing (2) using either a small press or a soft
metal drift and hammer. Since some of the interference fit can be lost by
removing and fitting new bearings they should always be re-fitted using
Loctite 638 or equivalent.
b) Place the inner race of the bearing in a bath of clean mineral oil and heat
up to a temperature of 80° C (180° F).
c) Push the inner race into place and hold against the shaft shoulder until it
contracts sufficiently to grip the shaft.
d) Place the rotor (5) carefully inside the stator bore.
e) Fit bearing housing (2), outer grease retainers (3), weights (6), circlips
and end covers (4). Use Loctite 242 (or equivalent) on screws when
refitting bearing housing.
f) Check that the rotor shaft has correct float.
