Precautions for installation and use of trommel screen

Preface: The trommel screen is an efficient screening equipment, which is widely used in the screening operation of various materials. In order to ensure the normal operation of the trommel screen and extend its service life, the following matters need to be paid attention to during installation and use.

A. Precautions for installation of trommel screen

1. Foundation preparation: The trommel screen should be installed on a solid and flat ground to ensure that the equipment will not shake or move due to uneven or soft ground during operation. At the same time, according to the size and weight of the equipment, prepare the corresponding foundation in advance, such as concrete foundation, etc.

2. Horizontal adjustment: When installing the trommel screen, the horizontality of the equipment should be ensured, and the horizontal deviation requirement is not more than 1 mm/m. This can be achieved by adjusting the feet or gaskets at the bottom of the equipment to ensure the stability and screening effect of the equipment during operation.

3. Connection and fixation: The motor is connected to the drum device through the reducer through the coupling, and the drum device is driven to rotate around its axis. During the installation process, it should be ensured that the connection between the components is firm and reliable, without loosening. At the same time, all fasteners of the equipment should be tightened firmly to prevent loosening due to vibration during operation.

4. Cleaning and inspection: After installation, installation tools and other debris should be removed to ensure that there are no residual foreign objects inside and outside the screen drum. At the same time, check the various components of the equipment to ensure that there is no damage or missing.

B. Precautions for the use of trommel screens

1. Startup and shutdown: Before starting the trommel screen, check whether the various components of the equipment are intact and lubricated. When starting, the trommel screen should be turned on first, and then the feeding equipment should be turned on. When shutting down, the feeding equipment should be turned off first, and the machine can be shut down only after the material in the screen drum is completely discharged. It is strictly forbidden to adjust or repair the equipment while it is running.

2. Uniform feeding: When using the trommel screen, ensure that the feeding is uniform to avoid material accumulation or overload. This can not only improve the screening efficiency, but also reduce the wear and failure rate of the equipment.

3. Lubrication and maintenance: The bearing seat, gearbox and other components of the trommel screen need to be regularly filled with grease to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life. At the same time, the lubrication of the equipment should be checked regularly, and the grease should be replenished or replaced in time. In addition, the various components of the equipment also need to be cleaned and maintained regularly to keep them in good working condition.

4. Safety inspection: When using the trommel screen, you should always check whether the various parts of the equipment are firm and reliable, and whether the rotating parts are flexible. If abnormal sounds, vibrations or excessive temperature rise are found, the equipment should be stopped immediately for inspection and troubleshooting. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to perform maintenance and repairs while the equipment is running.

5. Handling after shutdown: Equipment that has been out of service for a long time should be remotely measured for motor insulation before restarting to prevent it from burning out. At the same time, dust and debris on the equipment should be removed after shutdown to keep the equipment clean and dry.

C. Other precautions

1. Operator training: The operator of the trommel screen should undergo professional training and be familiar with the performance, operation methods and safety precautions of the equipment. During operation, the operating procedures and safety regulations should be strictly followed.

2. Equipment maintenance: The maintenance personnel of the trommel screen should frequently inspect the operation of the equipment and promptly discover and deal with potential problems. At the same time, a complete equipment maintenance file should be established to record the maintenance history and maintenance status of the equipment.

PS: The installation and use precautions of the trommel screen cover many aspects, including foundation preparation, horizontal adjustment, connection and fixing, cleaning and inspection, startup and shutdown, uniform feeding, lubrication and maintenance, safety inspection and post-shutdown treatment. Only by strictly following these precautions for operation and maintenance can the normal operation of the trommel screen be ensured and its service life be extended.
