Electrical fault. Check wiring and components and correct. 2. Too high oil viscocity Chnage oil to correspond ambient temperature. 3. V-belts slipping or broken. Check condition and tension of belts. 4. Timing belt broken. Check condition and tension of belts. Screen running incorrectly (in motion). 1. Screen contacts something during operation (base,m chute, material, ice etc.) Arrange space for screen to run correctly. 2. V-belt/timing belt pulleys and/or V- belts/timing belts are worn. Change new ones. 3. Drive equipment is wrongly positioned in relation to vibrating shaft. Move and adjust according to instructions. 4. Screen base not solid enough. Support. 5. Springs broken or tired Change springs. Screen is galloping overloaded add springs. Sandvik Mining and Construction Vibrating 5creens & Feeders TroubIe shooting Trouble Possible cause Correction Drive equipment deflects and vibrates too much. 1. Fastenings has loosed. Tighten the fastening bolts. Screen supporting frame deflects and vibrates too much. 1. Construction is too light or insufficient bracing. Add support and brace. 2. Foundations of screen frame are not strong enough. Build up foundations. 3. Support structure critical frequency too close to to operating speed. Build up foundations. Unusual noise during operation. 1. There are loose or damaged parts in the screen. Tighten, repair or change the part. At the same time check all screws for tightness. Check the reason for damage. 2. Screen contacts something during operation. Arrange space for screen to run. 3. Screen meshes are loose. Tighten according to instructions 4. Bearing damage. See bearing damage. 5. Broken spring. Change spring after checking the cause. Sandvik Mining and Construction Vibrating 5creens & Feeders TroubIe shooting Trouble Possible cause Correction Unusual noise during operation (continued). 6. There are stones, dust, tools etc inside the counterweight guards. Clean regularly. 7. There are stones between springs. Clean the spring systems regularly and prevent material from building up between the springs. Screen bearings overheat. 1. Incorrect amount of oil in vibrating shaft. Check oil level. 2. Wrong type or old oil in shaft. Change oil. 3. Bearing damage. See bearing damage. 4. High temperatures in the environment or material. Arrange ventilation and change the oil suitable for high temperatures. 5. Too high speed. Lower speed. Sandvik Mining and Construction Vibrating 5creens & Feeders TroubIe shooting Trouble Possible cause Correction Bearing damage. 1 Normal life of bearing exceeded. Check amount of operating hours and always replace damaged bearing with a new one. Check also possible reasons for the damage. 2. Insufficient lubrication. Check lubrication maintenance and possible oil leakages. 3. Unsuitable oil. Change oil type. 4. Foreign material (steel, sand etc.) in oil. Check the cause (some damaged part, dirty conditions during oil change, dirty cans in handling of oil etc.) 5. Shaft is not in level position, when the other bearing is overfilled and the other underfilled with oil. Adjust the screen to the right position according to instructions. 6. Axial loads bearing stuck on shaft. Use corrosion protection lubricant between shaft and bearing. See item 6.8 Sandvik Mining and Construction Vibrating 5creens & Feeders TroubIe shooting Trouble Possible cause Correction Bearing damage (continued). 7. Too high speed. Lower speed. 8. Too high G-force. Reduce stroke length/speed. Oil leakage. 1. Breather is clogged. Clean or change breather regularly. 2. Seals are worn out or damaged (for instance during assembly). Do not reuse old seals Change the seals being careful that the new ones are not damaged during installation. 3. Wear ring is worn out. Change wear ring to a new one. It is advisable to change a new ring at the same time with shaft sealing. 4. Oil level assembly loose or leakage. Tighten it. Sandvik Mining and Construction Vibrating 5creens & Feeders TroubIe shooting Trouble Possible cause Correction Aperture in screen meshes is clogging or screen capacity is insufficient. 1. Stroke angle or form incorrect. Adjust according to instructions. 2. Stroke lenght is too short. Adjust counterweights according to instructions. 3. Too low frequency. Alter V-belt ratio by changing sheave. 4. Unsuitable meshes (for instance too thick meshes in relation to aperture, shape of opening unsuitable, too small net opening percent etc). Install suitable mesh. 5. Material includes plenty of clay, mud or other impurities. Wash material before screening. 6. Too high feed rate to the screen. Reduce the feed rate. 7. Incorrect rotation direction of the stroke. Change the rotation direction. Sandvik Mining and Construction Vibrating 5creens & Feeders TroubIe shooting Trouble Possible cause Correction Material flows mostly on one side of the screen. 1. Incorrect feed to the screen. Re-position the feed so that it is evenly spread across the whole width of the screen. 2. Screen is not running in the right position. Check the horizontal position of the spring pedestals. Too much material collecting at feed end of the screen. 1. Conveying rate of screen too low. See corrections above. 2. Too high feed rate or uneven feed. Adjust feed rate. 3. Material fed against the conveying direction of the screen Arrange feed as per manual chapter 3.2. 4. Direction of the screen rotation incorrect. Check direction of rotation and change if necessary. 5. Too heavy material load from the chute above. Adjust feed chute to remove head load. Sandvik Mining and Construction Vibrating 5creens & Feeders TroubIe shooting Trouble Possible cause Correction Screen meshes wear or break in some places rapidly; unusual high wear of meshes. 1. Wrong tensioning of meshes in some places, or generally in the whole screen. Check and retighten screen meshes according to instructions regularly. 2. Fed material falls onto the screen mesh instead of the receiving area. Re-position feed arrangement. 3. Screen mesh unsuitable for screened material. Change the mesh. (for instance steel wire mesh to rubber mesh). 4. High capacity of screen and highly abrasive material. Change the mesh. (for instance steel wire mesh to rubber mesh). Material spills from chutes onto maintenance platforms etc. 1. Feed or discharge chutes unsuitable or incorrectly installed. Re-install and seal. It is not permitted to connect extra parts to the screen body as this can impair the operation or damage the screen. 2. Screen worn so badly that material is leaking from feed or discharge areas or side plates. This can happen if wear plates are not changed in good time or if they are loose. Check the condition and fixing of wear plates and change in good time according to instructions. Check also tightening of the bolts regularly. Sandvik Mining and Construction Vibrating 5creens & Feeders TroubIe shooting Trouble Possible cause Correction In dust sealed screens, dust escapes. 1. Leak in the dust enclosure. Seal. 2. Insufficient suction in the dust enclosure. Increase suction of vacuum inside the enclosure. Supporting springs of the screen tilt too much. 1. Fastening screws in the springing system loose. Tighten and change if necessary.
