    Feed valve stops feed to the machine.


    Throttling nozzles close to full pressure.
    Machine brakes to rinse speed and rinse water comes on.
    Throttling nozzles open fully.
    Rotor contents drain out through the heavy fraction discharge head.
    Rinse function times out, rinse water turns off and machine accelerates to middle speed.
    Throttling nozzles close to full pressure and feed is re-introduced.
    Start underflow delay times out, then throttling nozzles adjust to operating pressure.
    Middle speed timer begins, times out, then machine accelerates to operating speed.

    5.6

    Shut Down

    It is important to note if the feed valve is working correctly, stopping the flow of material before the
    concentrator begins to decelerate. If not, adjust the underflow delay set-points as described in 4.4
    Programming.
    Pressing the normal STOP button initiates the following procedure:
    1.
    2.
    3.

    Feed valve stops feed to the machine.


    Throttling nozzles close to full pressure.
    A rinse delay cycle begins, times out.
    Machine decelerates to rinse speed and rinse water comes on.
    Throttling nozzles open fully (zero pressure).
    Throttling nozzles cycle open and closed according to set-points.
    Rotor contents drain out through the throttling nozzles.
    Rinse cycle times out.
    Rinse water stops and machine runs at rinse speed for dry time.
    Machine comes to a stop.

    Pressing the red EMERGENCY STOP button initiates the following procedure:
    1. Feed valve stops feed to the machine.
    2. Throttling nozzles close to full pressure.
    3. Machine decelerates quickly until stopped.
    4. Throttling nozzles open fully (zero pressure).
    The machine cannot be started again until the EMERGENCY STOP button is cleared or pulled out.

    5.7

    Vibration

    Prior to leaving the factory all machines are started and balanced at the anticipated running speed for the
    application. Upon installation some vibration of the unit during operation is normal and safe as the feed
    material may cause varying degrees of imbalance in the rotor.

    Caution: Vibration means that there is something out of balance. Rectify before
    recommencing operation.

    Installation, Operations, and Maintenance Manual

    Common causes for vibration are listed below. Excessive vibration may be the result of improper operation
    or handling during shipping and may require repair, re-balancing or replacement of rotating components.
    The following causes should be thoroughly investigated before contacting a service representative:
    1. Improper feed conditions causing excessive heavy fraction retention. Adjusting the feed characteristics
    (density, particle size, etc.) to specifications should eliminate the problem.
    2. Improper AutoPac settings, such as rotation speed too high for application.
    3. Foreign matter in the rotor such as grinding balls, oversize, dropped tools, etc.
    4. Structural damage to the bowl, rotor, shaft, discharge head, etc.
    5. Plugged or blocked throttling nozzle orifices and/or flow channels.
    6. Worn rotor and/or throttling valve components causing improper operation.
    7. Damage to the frame due to improper lifting of handling.
    8. Improper maintenance practices. During maintenance every effort should be taken to maintain the
    balance of the machine.
    9. Worn, damaged or mis-aligned bearings.
    10. Improper mounting of the equipment (load not distributed evenly, etc.).
    In many cases vibration can be decreased by changing feed and/or operating conditions such as increasing
    feed, decreasing feed density and/or reducing speed.
    If the above causes are investigated and vibration is still present, it may be necessary to field balance the
    unit. This is a relatively simple operation, and various companies throughout the world are can perform
    this. Sepro Mineral Systems is prepared to send a factory representative to site at a minimal cost to perform
    a field balance if requested.

    Caution: Do not add any weight to the rotating mass without having a field balance done by a
    qualified technician.

    5.8

    Centrifugal Force

    The rotational speed of the rotor bowl determines the G forces impacted on the material moving through
    the machine. This is calculated by the formula:
    G-FORCE = Rotor (inches) x r.p.m.2
    70471
    Generally, the fine streams (< 50 microns) require higher Gs for optimal recovery and coarser streams
    lower Gs. The rotational speed can be set in Hz. See also Table 5.8.2 RPM vs. Gs.
