The Belleville-type washers seal out the abrasive material, that can cause premature wear, and
extend pin and bushing life 20-30% over unsealed track. Sealed and lubricated track reduces fric-
tion, lowers costs for maintenance and increases the efficiency of the drive. The track supplied on
the 712 Series Feeder comes complete with split master chain links for easy track removal and re-
installation.
The return rollers on the 712 Series Plate Feeder are specially heat treated steel rollers with bear-
ing sleeves to support the deck on its return. The rollers are mounted on a stub shaft that is fabri-
cated onto a plate which is bolted onto the lower joist. This full assembly can be easily withdrawn
through a hole in the web of the lower joist.
SPROCKETS
The sprockets on the Plate Feeder are the bolt on segmental type made of wear resisting
manganese alloy steel. They are interchangeable and utilise the “Hunting Tooth” odd number of
teeth design which doubles sprocket life because contact of all teeth is only completed after two
revolutions. The sprockets are bolted onto keyed on hubs with high tensile bolts for ease of
replacement
SPROCKET HUBS
The sprocket hubs are accurately machined from alloy to successfully transmit the high torque
loads required to “Pull-out” from a fully laden start up. The tail shaft sprocket hub is of a lighter
design as the sprocket mounted on it acts only as a positive drive for the shaft and a directional
guide for the chain. Because the tail shaft sprocket carries none of the load, extremely long service
life is assured. With the drive and tail shaft sprockets being interchangeable, and the tail shaft
sprockets not doing a lot of work, by changing them around, a further increase in service life can
be gained.
DRIVE SHAFT
The MMD 712 Series Plate Feeder has a heavy duty drive shaft machined from high grade hot
rolled steel. It is machined for the sprocket hubs, bearing assemblies and the final drive unit. Each
end of the shaft is machined for a drive unit, even on installations with a single drive specification,
because in the event that one end should get damaged the shaft is handable and the other end
could be used.
TAIL SHAFT
The large diameter tail shaft on The MMD 712 Series Plate Feeder is machined from a hot rolled
high grade steel. The shaft is accurately machined to accept the tail shaft sprocket hubs and the
bearing assemblies. It is shorter in length than the drive shaft because it is contained between the
shaft bearing assemblies.
BEARING ASSEMBLIES
Large bearings are used on both the drive and tail shafts. They are designed to be grease lubricated
and have a reservoir for grease in the bearing blocks and end caps.
DECK
The MMD 712 Series Plate Feeder has a rolled alloy steel section with weld on cast end lap plates.
They are reinforced with a full longitudinal packer which runs in close proximity to the impact
rails thus preventing excessive loads to be taken by the carry rollers. The individual flights are
bolted to the track chain using high tensile bolts and overlap to provide a leak proof deck surface.
CHAIN TENSIONING
Any slack created in the chain can be taken up by pressurising the closed circuit hydraulic system
built into the tail end frame. Having done this, a gap will appear in the mechanical lock-out mech-
anism also built into the tail end frame. All that is left to do now, is determine the correct amount
of packers required to fill this gap and put them into place on the lock-out mechanism, and release
the pressure built up in the hydraulic system.
THE MAINFRAME
The section through the mainframe clearly illustrates its robust construction. Full length beams
run along the top and bottom of the framework on both sides presenting open flanges for conven-
ient and substantial mounting points. Central members tie the framework together with maximum
strength, whilst retaining an open construction. Bolted onto these cross members are the universal
beams which carry solidly mounted rails, allowing impact loads to be transferred directly into the
main framework. The carry rollers are mounted onto a rolled steel beam which is bolted directly
to the underside of the upper side beams. Firstly this facilitates roller maintenance. By lowering
the section down onto the lower beam it can be withdrawn and replaced. Secondly, being more
flexible than the cross members allows severe impact loads to be taken on the impact rails and not
the rollers.
O BEFORE ANY WORK IS CARRIED OUT ON THIS PLATE FEEDER, THE ELEC-
TRICITY SUPPLY MUST BE ISOLATED.
O Unless the above operation is carried out, no person or persons shall stand on the plate
feeder
O During operation of the plate feeder, no person or persons should violate the safety
guards and fences in its vicinity.
O MMD will not be responsible for the use or operation of the machine for any purpose
other than the specified/accepted operational requirement as stated in the official order.
O Ensure visually that the plate feeder is fully engaged in the working position.
O Check thoroughly to ensure that no person or persons can be injured when the machine
starts.
O Check drive components for signs of wear or obvious damage, leaks, etc.
O Check for excess spillage in and around the feeder’s operating area.
START-UP PROCEDURE
O The plate feeder should now start and the deck should move in the direction desired. If
the motor starts and the deck does not move, then the feeder is either stalled or the
hydraulic pressure relief valve has blown. Refer to the hydraulics section.
MECHANICAL
O Carry out full check of all items against part list and drawings to ensure that
everything is installed as per the contract. Visual check only.
O Check for any obstructions or fouling on the deck sections and rotating components. Trim
as required to achieve free running fit.
O Run feeder under no-load conditions for four (4) hours. Check for excessive noise, heat
or vibration. Refer to trouble shooting guide if any adverse effects are noted. Rectify as
necessary.
O Check the hydraulic fluid levels of both the drive and chain tensioning circuits.
O Re-site machine and run under full load conditions for eight (8) hours. Check for exces-
sive noise, heat or vibration. Refer to trouble shooting guide if any adverse effects are
noted. Rectify as necessary.
CHAIN TENSIONING
Unless there are problems with the Plate Feeder Chain tension should be checked monthly, to tension
the Plate Feeder Chain use the following procedure:-
O Operate the Hand Pump and Pump out both sides of the Tail Shaft Assembly, whilst
doing this measure from a fixed point on the Plate Feeder Frame to the rear face of the
Tail Shaft Bearing Housing on both sides of the Tail Shaft Assembly and ensure both
displacements are equal.
O Insert packers into to the space that has been achieved, and ensure that the packers are of
equal dimensions.
O When the Tension is correct, the slack Chain thrown between the Drive Sprocket, and the
1st Return Carrying Roller should have the smallest bow, possible without being
absolutely tight.
First step is to determine the speed of the noise. If it is a slow rhythmic or regular noise it is likely
to be coming from the shafts. This could indicate that there is a broken or loose bolt. Fully check
the feeder without any material upon it, to determine the cause.
O Fluid/Lubricant Leaks - It is essential that all fluid and lubricant levels be fully checked
and replenished in accordance with the maintenance schedule recommendations. If any
leak is found, action must be taken immediately to correct it, i.e. find source of leak,
determine cause of leak by reference to manual and identify parts required to rectify leak
When this has been done, the feeder must be stopped at the first opportunity so that the
work may be carried out.
O Obvious Damage - A regular visual inspection whilst the feeder is unladen, (i.e. at the
beginning/end of the working day/shift,) will make any damage to the deck sections obvi-
ous. It is good practise to check all fasteners on a regular basis as preventative mainte-
nance is quite often less expensive than lost man hours due to breakdown and repair.
O If vibration or noises appear to be from the chain then refer to the Chain Tensioning Pro-
cedure.
1. DRIVE SHAFT
O Before commencing the removal of the drive shaft, it will be necessary to create a safe
platform from which to work.
O Remove all guards and skirting that prevents access to and removal of the drive shaft
assembly.
O Locate and move local to the drive shaft sprockets, a split master link in the chain group.
Remove enough deck sections on each side of the split master link deck section to enable
the chain group to be secured in order to prevent it falling off of the feeder. The split mas-
ter link deck section can now be unbolted, there-by splitting the chain group.
O Having previously taken the weight of the electrical drive unit with suitable lifting equip-
ment, loosen off the coupling torque bolts and remove the drive unit as directed in the
electrical systems section.
O Support the shaft assembly with suitable lifting equipment before splitting the bearing
housings, leaving the main housing body attached to the head frame, and allowing the
shaft assembly to be withdrawn from the feeder to an
area suitable for maintenance work.
2. TAIL SHAFT
O Before commencing the removal of the tail shaft, it will be necessary to
create a safe platform from which to work.
O Remove all guards and skirting that prevents access to and removal of the
tail shaft assembly.
O Locate and move local to the tail shaft sprockets, a split master link in the chain group.
Remove enough deck sections above the split master link deck section in order to secure
the chain group and prevent it falling off the feeder. The split master link deck section can
now be unbolted, there-by splitting the chain group
O Support the shaft assembly with suitable lifting equipment before splitting the bearing
housings, leaving the main housing body attached to the tail frame and allowing the shaft
assembly to be withdrawn from the feeder to an
area suitable for maintenance work.
O Follow the procedure for removing the shafts until the shafts are fully exposed and in an
area suitable for maintenance work.
O The bearings are mounted on adapter sleeves and can be removed by firstly loosening the
nut a few turns and then using a hammer and drift. Only a few blows to the inner ring face
should be necessary to loosen the bearing. Remove the nut and then the bearing from the
shaft, the adaptor sleeve should now slide easily from the shaft.
SPROCKET HUBS
O Follow the procedure for removing the shafts until the shafts are fully exposed and in an
area suitable for maintenance work
O Follow the procedure for the removal of the bearings. Unbolt and remove the sprocket
segments from the sprocket hubs. For removal of the sprocket hubs themselves there are
two methods:
O Using oxy-acetylene equipment. Stand the shaft vertically on end with the sprocket hub
closest to the floor being the hub for removal. Heat the hub with the oxy-acetylene equip-
ment until it expands and falls onto packing placed around the shaft.
THINGS TO CHECK
O Bearing labyrinth - check for scoring on seal surface. Also check for any wear on laby-
rinth shoulders. If any dimension has been reduced by 30% or there is any scoring on the
seal surface, then the labyrinth must be replaced.
O Check the condition of the “O” section rubber cord. If there is any sign of damage at all,
this cord must be replaced. As a company policy, MMD recommend that all seals be
replaced when they are removed for any reason.
O Bearing block/housing - if there is any obvious damage or any sign that the bearing has
been turning in the capsule, then it must be replaced. The tolerance between the bearing
and capsule is very fine and any damage inside this capsule is not acceptable.
O Fit the keys to suit both the shaft and the sprocket hubs noting which key has been fitted
to suit which sprocket hub and shaft keyway. It is important not to get the fitted keys
mixed up, as this could cause problems on assembly.
O Warm the sprocket hubs in an oil bath up to 100oC. Remove from the bath and push over
the keys and onto shaft immediately. Alternatively use oxy- acetylene equipment to heat
them up evenly and then push them over the keys and onto the shaft immediately. Screw
on the locknut to hold the sprocket hub onto the shaft shoulder while cooling down.
When the sprocket hub reaches the ambient temperature, re-tighten the locknut and fit the
locking clip.
O Fit the “O” section rubber cord into the inner bearing location rings. These are then a
push fit onto the shaft.
O Slide the adapter sleeve onto the shaft, followed by the bearing and the lock nut and
washer. Turn the nut onto the adapter sleeve clamping the bearing very lightly.Using
some feeler gauges, measure the internal clearance of the bearing, measuring between the
outer race and an unloaded roller. Make a note of this dimension and keep it safe.
DO NOT TIGHTEN THE ASSEMBLY UP.
O Fit the “O” section rubber cord into the outer bearing location rings.
(Drive shaft only.) Push fit onto the shaft.
O Re-assemble the feeder in reverse sequence to that stated in the shafts section. Align the
shaft up symmetrically about the machines centerline and position the bearing assembly
in the bearing block housing left on the machine when dismantling it. Turn the lock nut
towards the bearing until the internal clearance between the outer race and an unloaded
roller, decreases by the amount specified below. This is important as incorrect tightening
could result in premature failure.
O Position the inner and outer location rings correctly in relation to the bearing housing still
on the relative frame. Locate the shaft assembly in position on the feeder, place the loose
bearing housing half over the bearing assembly and bolt it on securely.
O Re-assemble the chain group and grease the re-assembled bearings sufficiently, prior to
running at any speed or load.
DAILY
Visual and audible examination for excessive vibration or noise.
Apply 25cm³ of grease to each bearing per hour, via the ¼” BSP grease nipple at the remote cen-
tralised greasing point. Alternatively, where a automatic centralised greasing unit is fitted, it
should be regulated to provide this amount as a minimum.
Recommended Lubrication: NLGI EP1 Lithium complex grease. (Winter - Period of year
when temperature can fall below 0°C for a period of
more than a week).
Check deck sections and fixings for damage, and replace as required.
WEEKLY
Check bottom rollers for any excessive signs of wear or damage.
Where a centralised auto-greasing unit is fitted, check the greasing unit reservoir for grease, and
top-up if required with the recommended lubricant.

This specification covers quantities of grease to be fed to sizer and feeder bearings via automatic
lubrication system. Also types of grease.
Grease Types
NLGI EP2
Lithium Complex, extreme pressure grease. (e.g., Shell Calithia EPT2)
If for a period of the year, the potential for ambient temperatures to be below -10°C exists, for that period
use.
NLGI EP1 (eg., Shell Sterak 1)
If the temperature is likely to drop below -30°C pipe heating may be required.
Grease Quantities
Feeder D4 10
Feeder D7 20
Feeder D9 50
When sizer bearings are greased by hand 200cc should be applied to each bearing each week.
Notes
When grease is fed by an autolube system, the grease must be fed continuously whenever the machinery
runs. It is also strongly recommended to run the grease feed for 2 hours after each running period.
When seperate feeds are required for labyrinth and bearings a fifth pump element must be fitted and set to
same setting as other 4 elements. This outlet must be piped to a splitter valve and then to bearings. The
other 4 elements are to be piped individually to the labyrinths.
ISO VG 320 premium quality, heavy duty, Sulphur Phosphorous EP Gear Lubricant, 320 centistokes viscosity at
40°C, viscosity index IP226 85 to 95. The lubricant should have good water shedding (minimum FZG load stage 12).
e.g. SHELL OMALA 320
ISO VG 220 premium quality, heavy duty, Sulphur Phosphorous EP Gear Lubricant, 220 centistokes viscosity at
40°C viscosity index IP226 85 to 95. The lubricant should have good water shedding (minimum FZG load stage 12).
