Installation and maintenance of eddy current separator

Preface: The installation and maintenance of the eddy current separator is the key link to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life. The following is the content of the installation and maintenance of the eddy current separator introduced by the editor:

A. Installation of eddy current separator

Eddy current separator

1. Foundation construction: Design and construct a suitable foundation according to the size and weight of the eddy current separator. The foundation should be flat and stable, and be able to withstand the full weight of the equipment and vibration during operation. After the foundation construction is completed, it is inspected and accepted to ensure that it meets the design requirements.

2. Equipment assembly: Assemble and install the various components of the eddy current separator according to the drawings and instructions. During the installation process, pay attention to the connection and fixation between the components to ensure the overall stability of the equipment.

3. Preliminary inspection: After the installation is completed, conduct a preliminary inspection to ensure that the components are installed correctly and without damage.

4. Power connection: Connect the power cord of the eddy current separator to a suitable power supply to ensure that the voltage, current and other parameters meet the requirements. Before connecting the power supply, check whether the insulation of the power cord is good to avoid electric shock accidents.

5. Control system connection: Connect the control system of the eddy current separator to the power supply, sensor, actuator and other components. Debug according to the instructions to ensure that the control system can work normally.

6. Trial run: In the absence of materials, start the eddy current separator for no-load trial run. Observe the operation of the equipment and check whether each component is operating normally and there is no abnormal sound and vibration. Check the operation of the control system to ensure that the start, stop and speed regulation functions of the equipment can be accurately controlled. After the no-load trial run is normal, gradually add materials for load trial run. Observe the sorting of materials and check whether the sorting effect meets the requirements. Adjust the parameters of the equipment according to the sorting effect, such as magnetic field strength, vibration frequency, belt speed, etc., to achieve the best sorting effect.

B. Maintenance of eddy current separator

1. V-belt tightness adjustment: When the V-belt is too tight, the motor bearing will heat up; when it is too loose, the speed will drop and the V-belt may slip. These will affect the service life of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the tension of the V-belt regularly. When adjusting, loosen the bolts that fix the motor seat, and use the scheduling bolts to change the position of the motor on the slideway so that the V-belt reaches the required tightness, and then tighten the fixing bolts.

3. Motor lubrication: After the motor has been operating for a period of time, it is necessary to add lubricating oil or clean the bearings and refill the lithium-based lubricating oil to restore the lubricity of the bearings.

4. Tool inspection and replacement: If the eddy current separator's tool breaks or wastes, it may be caused by the inconsistency between the rotation base of the shredder's spindle and the base of the tool during processing. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the wear of the tool and replace the severely worn tool in time. At the same time, ensure the concentricity of the spindle and the tool to avoid affecting the molding degree of the processed material and the product yield.

5. Power cord inspection: The power cord of the eddy current separator should not be too long or winding. The operating voltage of the motor is 380 volts, and the working current is indicated on the motor nameplate. The rated current of the wire must be greater than the rated current of the motor, otherwise the motor may heat up or burn under undervoltage or undercurrent conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check whether the insulation and rated current of the power cord meet the requirements.

6. Daily cleaning and inspection: After the operation is completed every day, the machine should be cleaned in time to check whether the screws of various parts are loose and the wear of the claws, sieves and other wearing parts. For easily worn parts, especially the conveyor belt, its wear should be observed frequently and replaced in time.

7. Regular maintenance and repair: After the eddy current separator has been working for one year, in addition to the above inspections, other parts should also be inspected, repaired and replaced.

C. During the installation and maintenance of the eddy current separator, the following points should also be noted:

1. During the installation and commissioning process, the operating procedures and safety specifications of the eddy current separator should be strictly followed. It is prohibited to operate the equipment or change the equipment parameters without authorization.

2. The installation and commissioning work should be carried out by professionals to ensure correct and safe operation. Professionals should have relevant electrical and mechanical knowledge and skills, and be able to handle equipment failures and abnormal conditions skillfully.

3. Pay attention to the electrical safety of the equipment to avoid electric shock accidents.

PS: The installation and maintenance of the eddy current separator is an important measure to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life. Only by operating and maintaining in accordance with specifications can the stability and reliability of the equipment be ensured.
