For Safety's Sake
Introduction:
Kason Vibroscreen Vibratory Separators are self-contained, compact
production machines that make precise mechanical separations according
to particle size through efficient use of multiplane inertial vibration
techniques. They are designed and built to solve the most difficult
classifying, separating and dewatering problems.
Important Safety Information:
Proper installation, maintenance, and safe operation procedures
are the responsibility of the purchaser. To ensure personal safety,
all persons who use this equipment must read and understand the
Instruction Manual before operation or performing maintenance.
Should you have any questions, comments, or suggestions concerning
this manual, please contact us.
To aid in the creation of a safe working environment, each Vibroscreen
unit is labeled as shown below. Should these safety labels become
defaced or destroyed, please contact Kason Corporation for free
replacements.
As a further safety precaution, each Vibroscreen separator features
a safety switch which, when properly connected, will cut power to
the motor if the access door in the base is opened. Wiring instructions
are shown below. Note that the power supply to the machine must
be locked out in accordance with OSHA standards before performing
adjustments or maintenance.
Important Installation Tips:
- DO NOT REMOVE SHIPPING BRACKETS UNTIL THE SEPARATOR IS FINALLY
LOCATED ON ITS FOUNDATION (TO MOVE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE BRACKETS
IN PLACE RISKS DISTORTING THE SUPPORT SPRINGS BEYOND THEIR LIMIT).
- UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MOTOR BE ROTATED UNDER
POWER WITH SHIPPING BRACKETS IN PLACE.
- Shim the base to level the screen, then mount the Vibroscreen
Unit on a steady foundation using the mounting holes in the lower
flange of the base. Avoid supports that resonate with Kason frequency
(RPM). The separator has an access door in the base for adjusting
the lower eccentric. Locate the separator so this door is accessible.
- Remove the shipping brackets which secure the table and deck
assembly to the base.
- Never mount the base of the Vibroscreen over an opening through
which one could put one's head or limbs. Any such opening should
be covered by a metal grille (meeting OSHA standards).
The Vibroscreen unit must be mounted on NON-COMBUSTIBLE flooring,
or on a steel plate if the floor is made of a combustible material.
Electrical sparks can ignite combustible flooring.
If in wet service, make a drain so stray liquid cannot accumulate
in the base.
- Please refer to the installation manual covering your model
for more installation instructions.
