 INSTALLATION

If your Floatex is not a Portable type, it will reach you "knocked down"
for assembly at your plant. Assembly is accomplished as follows

1. Bolt the spring pads to the structural steel or concrete supports

(which you provide), using the anchor-bolt plan diagram on the general
arrangement drawing supplied.

2. Set the supporting coil springs in place over the centering plugs on
the spring pads and lower the vibrating frame onto the springs.

WHEN FRICTION CHECK ASSEMBLIES ARE; PROVIDED:

1. Assemble each pair of friction check brackets (F-76) to each base beam
but do not draw bolts up tight.

2. Assemble a friction check housing (F-73) to mounting member on each

end of live frame and bolt securely. This part may have been assembled
prior to shipment, on some models.

3. Thread a friction check assembly (two plugs, one spring) through each
friction check housing.

4. Lower the vibrating frame onto the supporting coil springs, being
careful to see that all the centering plugs on the vibrating frame register
with the springs. At the same time, spread the friction check assembly to
position itself.

5. Draw up friction check bracket bolts so that brackets are securely

fastened to the base beams. The friction check assembly will now be in a
working position, with the friction check spring compressed and the friction
check plugs bearing flat against the brackets.

DRIVE INSTALLATION:

Place the pivoted take up motor base in position as shown on the general
arrangement drawing and bolt down securely. Final assembly (with belts and
motor in position) is proper when the pivot plate is horizontal and
approximately in the center of the adjustment range. The following procedure
may be used to accomplish proper installation:-

(a) Locate motor base from dimensions furnished on general arrangement

drawing and bolt down securely.

(b) Mount motor on pivot plate. Tight, or pulling, side of belts ----
 should be nearest pivot shaft (Recommended Condition). If direction
of rotation must be such that slack side of belt will be nearest
pivot shaft, move motor as far from pivot shaft as possible, to
increase moment and minimize belt slippage at startup (Alternate
Condition).

IMPORTANT: When fully assembled, motor shaft must be parallel with

pivot shaft for proper drive belt alignment.

(c) Install V-belts. Be sure that drive and driven sheaves are in line.

(d) If pivot plate is not horizontal, make final adjustment by loosening

the four bolts that clamp sliding section of base to anchor plate. Turn
single adjusting screw until pivot plate is horizontal (with V-belts
assembled) and retighten four clamping bolts. Note: Blocking up pivot
plate in horizontal position, with load off belts, will ease adjustment

OPERATING YOUR FLOKTEX SHAKEOUT

When starting your Floatex for the first time, insure that stationary
structures are far enough away from the vibrating frame so that there will
be no possibility of contact between them when the Shakeout is operating.
3-3/4" - 4" is desirable to provide for deflection of the unit on the springs
when load is applied.

Remember to KEEP all bolts tight (see torque table) and to replace the
friction check plugs (if furnished) when they become worn.

Your Floatex has an adjustable stroke which has been set for your
particular purposes. DO NOT ALTER THIS STROKE OR INCREASE OPERATING SPEED
without first consulting your Hewitt-Robins representative.

IMPORTANT

The Hewitt-Robins Shakeout is equipped with heat treated bolts and nuts for
most connections. These may be identified by the flat clipped washer under
the nut and under the head of the bolt. Due to their high initial tightening
torque, heat treated bolts and nuts will not loosen as readily as ordinary
ones, but their tightness should be checked occasionally using a torque
wrench. If no torque wrench is available, correct tightness may be estimated
by pulling up the connection until it is just snug, then tightening the nut
1/2 turn more.
The proper torque values for various sized heat treated bolts and nuts
are shorn in the following table:

Bolt Diameter Torque Required

1/2" 100 ft. lbs.
5/8" 200 ft. lbs.
3/4" 350 ft. lbs.
7/8" 525 ft. lbs.
1" 790 ft. lbs.

On connections where other than heat treated bolts and nuts are used,
make a tightness check after the first 40 hours of operation. Following
this initial recheck, subsequent re-tightening of these bolts should be
accomplished approximately every 200 hours of operation. Keeping all
structural members tight is a very important part of the operation of
all vibrating equipment, since the forces generated will tend to loosen
parts and lead to eventual failure.

To Replace Coil Supporting Springs or Friction Check Plugs

1. Disconnect the V-belts from the driven sheave.

1. Raise the vibrating frame off the coil supporting springs, insuring
that the friction check plugs do not fly out of their housings as
the friction check spring compression is relieved.

3. Replace the required parts. Reassemble in reverse order, again noting

that the friction check plugs enter smoothly between their compression
plates, without cocking.
I
1. Refer to accompanying illustrations for required motor location with
respect to vibrator sheave or refer to General Arrangement Drawing of
unit to be driven. For Eliptex units furnished with concentric bored
sheaves, the center line of the drive must be perpendicular to the line
of action. Any other motor location will require a vibrator sheave with
e special eccentric bore and keyway location to suit the
specific motor location. Vibrex units must use eccentrically bored
sheaves to suit the stroke at which operating.

2. Mount motor on hinge plate of pivoted motor base and install so that
pivot shaft is located between motor and vibrator shafts. Fasten motor
base securely to support.

3. Tight side of belt must be at bottom of drive between motor shaft and
pivot shaft for proper operation or additional spring leading may be
required.

4. Motor shaft, pivot shaft and vibrator shaft must be parallel and sheaves
aligned for proper operation.

5. Motor base should initially be installed with the hinge base near the
center of the adjusting slots and in a horizontal position. As belts
stretch, the motor and hinge plate will tilt downward to maintain belt
tension. The hinge plate can be returned to the horizontal position by
loosening the four hinge base mounting bolts and adjusting by tightening
the adjusting screws until the hinge base has moved far enough to return
the hinge plate to its horizontal position. This must be done before the
hinge plate tilts far enough to contact the base plate at any time during
operation of the unit. Re-torque mounting bolts (200 ft., lbs., for 5/8";
350 ft., lbs., for 3/4").
5. When aligned, the motor base spring should be compressed by means of
the adjusting screw or nut above it to provide adequate belt tension
to prevent slippage during operation. Do not over tighten since
excessive tension reduces belt and bearing life.

7. The pivot shaft rotates in pre-lubricated snit-friction bearing

units. Under extremely dirty or wet conditions, it is advisable to
re-Tube approximately once a month.
 Although mounting hole patterns are identical, when replacing the X21000 (DM
6686 & 6687) and 520999 (DM 6688 & 6689) with the rev Anti-Friction Bearing Style
Pivoted Motor Danes 052568 and 052550, the bases oust be relocated to alloy for the
difference between the pivot and center of the rotor.
Since belt tension can be increased with an adjustable spring on the rev motor
bases, the motor is counted closer to the picot than on the older bases, requiring
the base to be located closer to the vibrator shaft.
On circular motion Vibrex Screens where motor location is not as critical as
on the Eliptex snits, shorter V-belts nay be used instead of relocating the motor
if the sheave center distance is adequate.
The following chart and illustration indicates the usual motor location on
both types of bases and indicates the distance required to relocate the rev bases
from the old for operation without changing belt size.
 LUBRICATION

Experience in the field has shown that some types of greases are more

suitable than others for proper lubrication of precision anti-friction

bearings as used in your vibrating equipment. Hewitt-Robins has worked

closely with the various lubricant manufacturers to obtain lubricants of the

correct consistency, lubricating value and staying power for best service

from your unit.

The recommended greases of some of the major manufacturers are listed

below. If you desire to use a grease which does not appear in the following

list we will be glad to furnish a recommendation as to its suitability.

Manufacturer Designation

N.Y. & N.J. Lubricating Co. F-925*

*suitable for hot applications

The quantity of grease to be used depends upon the size (bore measurement) of

the bearings, while the frequency of lubrication should be governed by the type

of operation. This includes the amount of dirt, dust, or moisture present and

the operating schedule of the machine.

With regard to the quantity of grease to be added, it should be borne in mind

that it is better to over grease somewhat than not to add enough. The

explanation of this is that the seals in Hewitt-Robins Vibrating Equipment,

whether neoprene or piston ring type, are not designed to retain grease as much

as to exclude moisture and dirt. In order to accomplish this, it is necessary

that the bearings be purged at regular intervals with new, clean grease. The

more wet or dusty the application, the more important it is to be sure that the

bearings receive sufficient grease at the correct intervals. In extreme cases,

it may be found desirable to grease the equipment as often as each four hours of

operation - - cutting, the amount of grease in half.

The following table may be used as a general guide to show the amount and

frequency of lubrication required by each bearing under various conditions. If

desired, we will be glad to review your specific operating conditions and

furnish more detailed recommendations based upon the information furnished.

 OPERATING CONDITIONS

160mm 4 oz. each 4 oz. each 2 oz. each
40 hours 8 hours 4 hours

Automatic grease guns are not recommended since most models deliver a large

quantity of grease with high pressure, the amount of which is difficult to

gauge. A good hand grease gun is preferable. Before lubricating, pump grease

from gun onto a scale in the amount to be used and count the number of pumps

required (28 grams = 1 oz.). From then on be sure that the correct number of

pumps of gun is applied to each bearing as scheduled. Rigid adherence to this

will pay off many times in decreased down-time due to bearing failure.

An important additional consideration is to be sure that the grease

Keep all grease in tightly covered containers and be sure to wipe each

lubricating fitting before the gun is applied.

If operating schedules make proper greasing difficult, there are on the

market today several excellent systems of automatic lubrication. These are

either the grease or oil mist type, and both have been found to work well

with our equipment. With the grease system a measured amount of grease is

delivered automatically to each bearing as required, while the oil mist

system maintains a constant air pressure within the bearing, at the same

time coating all parts with a thin film of oil. The oil is supplied in the

correct amount for proper lubrication, while the air pressure inside the

bearing housing insures that no dirt or dust can enter. Either of these

systems can be supplied with new equipment, or can be added later in most

cases.

We will be glad to cooperate in specifying an automatic lubrication

system for your installation, or in analyzing any other lubrication

problems which may arise on your Hewitt-Robins equipment.

 To Disassemble the Vibrator

(See Drawing for Applicable Style)

1. Remove V-belts.

2. Remove the Grease Fittings, End Caps, Flywheels, Dust Flingers and

Piston Ring Sleeves.

3. Remove nuts from circle of bolts which holds Bearing Flange Unit to

Frame.

4. The Bearing Housing has two tapped holes, without bolts. Into these

holes, insert two ordinary bolts. Screw these bolts up tight to jack

the entire Bearing Flange Unit off the Shaft.

5. To remove remaining Bearing Flange Unit, if required, repeat steps 1

through 4.

h . Protect end of Shaft with block of wood and tap Shaft through Bearing

from side you are working on. Remove Bearing Flange Unit and Shaft.
 To Disassemble Bearing Flange Unit

First, take the Unit to a clean place before taking it apart. Keep it free of
dirt, grit or sand. Then remove the capscrews and the Bearing Closure
together with the Piston Rings and Collar. The Bearing is then readily
accessible for inspection or replacement.

NOTE: The Bearing is a slip fit on the shaft and a slight press fit in the
Housing. It is important to maintain these fits for proper operation.

Any marks indicating that the housing has been worn oversize and that outer
race rotation has taken place call for a replacement of the housing.

Inspect the piston ring sleeve and piston rings for wear. The rings should
turn freely in the grooves, and should not be permanently compressed. If the
rings have been sticking in the grooves and rotating with the sleeve,
corresponding grooves will have been worn by the rings on the inside diameter
of the bearing closure. If such grooves exist the closure and rings should be
replaced, since improper sealing of the new bearing will result.

To Reassemble Bearing Flange Unit*

1. Carefully press the new bearing into the housing, taking care that it is not
cocked during the process. (The new bearing should be kept in its original
wrappings until the last minute, as it is extremely important that the utmost
cleanliness be observed and that no particles of grit or dust be allowed to
enter, leading to premature failure).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not press the bearing into the housing by pressure on the
inner race or rollers, since this may cause indentation, or
brinelling, of the races. Pressure should be applied only
through the outer race to avoid internal damage to the
bearing.

Fit of the new bearing in the housing should be approximately .0015" tight. To
verify the correctness of the fit a .002" feeler should pass over the top
rollers (both front and back). This will double check that proper internal
clearance exists.

2. If the unit is grease-lubricated carefully hand-pack the bearing with the

specified grease, taking extreme caution to insure absolute
cleanliness during' the operation.

3. Reinstall the closure, making sure that the gasket is in good

condition.

4. Do not apply too much torque to the cap screws but draw them up
snugly, tightening first one side and then the other to insure that the
closure is squarely seated and that no dirt can enter.

5. Be sure that a lock washer is beneath the head of each cap screw or
that all screws are safety wired if holes are provided. Safety wiring is
the preferred method to prevent loosening.

*Because of the special internal clearances specified for the roller

bearings on vibrating equipment, it is recommended that replacement
bearings be ordered from Hewitt-Robins.
 To Assemble the Vibrator

1. Be sure that all parts are clean. Make certain that inside of
vibrator tube is clean of sand and dirt before replacing shaft.
Polish shaft bearing journals to insure slip fit of bearing inner
race.

2. Before installing the bearing flange unit, be sure that the

machined mating surfaces between the bearing housing and live frame
are flat, clean and free to any distortion.

3. Coat this surface with a film of Permatex #2 (non-hardening) so as

to insure a tight seal against the entry of dust, dirt or
moisture.

4. With shaft in position, assemble bearing flange unit to each end of

shaft. Bearings are slip fit on shaft and should go on without using
excessive force. Install vibrator bolts and draw up nuts to proper
torque value.

NOTE: Vibrator has provision for shaft to float, with one "tight
side" and one "float side". On "tight side", shaft
shoulder bears against inner race of bearing and width of
the shaft journal is less than on the "float side".

5. With both bearing flange units supporting the shaft and bolted securely
to live frame, reassemble "tight side" of vibrator first, to properly
position the shaft. After lubricating thoroughly around the rings,
install the piston ring seal assembly on the shaft, compressing the
rings so as to slip inside the closure.

6. With dust flinger in position, assemble flywheel and end cap,

torquing capscrews as specified on drawing. Safety wire capscrew
heads together.

7. Rotate shaft slightly to check for binding. Tap shaft lightly, on

"tight side" end, to relieve if binding occurs.

8. Reassemble "float side" of vibrator.

To reinstall one bearing flange unit only, you should be aware of the
conditions outlined in the instructions above, and simply reverse the steps
as specified for disassembly. If rotating the shaft slightly encounters
binding, tap the shaft end slightly from the side you are working on.
NOTE: The possibility of a slight binding condition will be due to a
thrust loaded condition on the bearing during assembly. Tapping
the shaft lightly should provide proper relief.

It is recommended that a spare bearing flange unit be kept on hand to

speed up vibrator bearing changes. The bearing flange unit removed can
then be reconditioned at a later date.
