B Example Enclosed Outlet Feeding Conveyor

2. Safety


Correct Use of the Bucket Elevator (Continued)3. Never operate with guards removed or inspection covers open.

4. Never open or work on the moving parts of the Bucket Elevator unless:

a. It has been run completely empty of grain. (A loaded elevator might result in unexpected movement of the belt and buckets even when locked out.)

b. It is locked out and tagged out at the main electrical isolator.

c. All equipment working with the elevator are also locked out and tagged out.

5. The elevator must be installed vertical in all directions and must not be used at any other angle.

6. Do not fix a hoist or other lifting equipment to the Bucket Elevator, nor to the ladders or platforms attached to the elevator.

7. Ladders and platforms attached to the elevator are for personnel access only and must not be used to carry or support heavy pieces of equipment.

8. Do not exceed the maximum ladder and platform load, noted on the warning decal (225 kg).

9. Never alter or adjust the elevator from it is original specification.

10. Always lock out and tag the electrical power to the elevator before working on it.

11. Do not use the elevator in an enclosed, potentially explosive area.

Working at HeightsThe equipment has been designed to operate primarily at ground level, at some stages during the life cycle it will be necessary to work at heights. For this reason the equipment has been provided with access ladders and platforms, to minimize the risk to health and safety. In addition attention should be paid to the following safety requirements.

1. The ladders, platforms and walkways are for use by competent and trained personnel only. NEVER allow children or members of the general public to gain access to the equipment, its ladders or access platforms.

2. Where the equipment is sited in an unsecured location, access must be restricted by use of security fencing and lockable gates.

3. Lower sections of ladders on the equipment should be fitted with a lockable safety gate, to prevent unauthorized access.

4. The equipment should be OFF and all power LOCKED OFF before work on or in the equipment. Ensure the power isolator is OFF and LOCKED and TAGGED to prevent inadvertent re-start. This must include all equipment attached to the elevator on which you are working. (See Figure 2B on Page 20.)

Maintenance

Routine Inspection

Elevators operating in hazardous environments must be inspected on a regular basis for signs of wear which could give rise to ignition sources. Elevators shall be installed with suitable, safe access ladders/stairs/platforms and catwalks to allow ease of access for inspection.

Daily:

1. Observe the elevator operating when empty and full and listen for sound of possible impact unusual sound of buckets on internal parts.

At least every 150 hours of operation:

1. Visually inspect the bearings for signs of over-heating, loss of grease and wear.

2. Check operation of the safety interlock switches:

a. Belt alignment

b. Shaft speed switch

c. Motor thermal cut out

3. Check operation of bearing temperature sensors if fitted.

4. Check cooling fans on motor and gear reducer are clean.

5. Check cooling fan and air inlets on motor and gear reducer – if fitted – are clear.

6. Check belt tension.

7. Check chain tension and condition of wear plates inside the elevator.

8. Check general condition of the elevator trunking.

9. Check for damage/loose connections of electrical cables into motors/switches.

10. Check condition of belts and buckets

All worn or damaged items must be replaced.

Repairs/Replacements

All repairs must be carried out in accordance with the product manual.

Replacement parts shall be matched like for like and be genuine GSI replacements. Failure to do so will render the elevator rating invalid.



ATEX Compliance of GSI Bucket Elevators

GSI Bucket Elevators are provided with three (3) levels of ATEX compliance:

1. Internal zone 21D, no external zoning (Ex II 2/-)

2. Internal zone 21D, external zone (Ex II 2/3)

3. Internal zone 21D, external zone (Ex II 2/2)

It is vital that you check the designation of your bucket elevator is correct for the zone into which it is to be installed. If in doubt consult an ATEX Expert. You will find the rating for your bucket elevator on the rating plate attached to the elevator boot. (See Figure 5B.)

Figure 5B

Ensuring the elevator continues to operate correctly and safety within the ATEX environment requires operator intervention at to ensure potential ignition sources cannot become active. See Pages 71-75 for a full list of identified ignition sources, with indication off the type and frequency of user intervention required.



V-Belt Drives

Certain models of elevator are fitted with V-belt drives. To ensure continued safe operation, the V-belts must be installed, tensioned and maintained according to this manual.

Tensioning is vital to ensure minimal slipping and frictional heating. Refer to the belt tensioning plate attached to your elevator.

Figure 5C

Pulley speed sensing is to be used to detect potential belt slippage where bucket elevators are installed in ATEX zone 21D. The speed sensing should be set to shut down the elevator if the driven pulley speed drops below Scrit, identified on the rating plate. This is the critical speed at which frictional heating caused by belt slip may result in high belt temperatures. Snorm marked on the same plate is the normal speed at which the pulley should run.

When tensioned correctly, the belt should deflect 10 mm when the weight shown on the plate is applied to the centre of the belt, as shown:

Figure 5D

Where the belt is becoming frayed or damaged, it should be replaced immediately, using the same make and model of belt as was originally supplied.



Elevator Flat Belt

Correct installation of the elevator belt and buckets are critical to ensuring and maintaining ATEX compliance. The belt must have the correct pre-tensioning and run in true alignment. True alignment can be checked by use of belt alignment sensors. Refer to the belt decal applied to your elevator boot for correct tensioning arrangements:

Where the belt pre-tension is provided by standard take-up screws, the rating plate will show Tp and a figure in mm. When initially installing the belt, this is the approximate stretch required to provide the correct pre-tension.

If accessible, the deflection at the middle of the belt may be checked by applying a horizontal force across the width of the belt and checking the deflection is approximately 25 mm.

Figure 5E



On elevators where the belt pre-tension is provided by a gravity take-up, the plate will show Tp and a figure in kg. This is the approximate mass that should be installed in the gravity take-up weight box to provide the correct pre-tension. Note that this figure may present as zero, due to the mass of the take-up mechanism itself be adequate to provide belt pre-tensioning.

Slipping elevator belts may result in frictional heating of the belt. This is avoided by maintaining the correct tension, and by monitoring the boot pulley speed, according to the value Scrit given on the elevator belt rating plate. In the event, the pulley speed drops below this value, the elevator should be stopped.

Figure 5F



Damage to the belt should be checked for, and if necessary the belt replaced. The belt may only be replaced using the same make and model of belt supplied at first installation. Failure to do so could result in an ignition source becoming active.

Figure 5G

Bearing Temperature Monitoring

Where the elevator is installed in ATEX zone 21D, bearing temperatures shall be monitored, in accordance with Tcrit give on the elevator rating plate. This is the critical temperature which if exceeded shall result in elevator shut down. In this event, the bearings should be checked for signs of failure, loss of lubrication and should be replaced or repaired before re-starting the elevator.


6. Bucket Elevator Foundation

1. The Bucket Elevator foundation must be designed by a qualified civil engineer and installed by a qualified contractor.

2. Always consider the additional weight of live loads, dead loads, wind loads and soil bearing loads.

3. Always provide for proper moisture run-off on the top of the foundation.


7. Boot Section

Boot sections are pre-assembled at the factory. Boot inlet hoppers are typically shipped separately.

1. Before installing boot on foundation, examine boot for damage or loose hardware. Do not attempt to install if parts are damaged.

2. Proper position of boot is critical for successful installation. Boot inlet section can be installed as an up-leg or a down-leg inlet.

3. Identify the up and down side of boot. (See Figure 7A.)

NOTE: The up-leg inlet position is approximately 152.0 mm higher than the down-leg side.

Attaching Boot to Foundation

1. Remove the nuts and inlet blank plates to attach boot inlet hopper.

2. Anchor and level boot. Boot must be level and plumb. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this. GSI recommends that you shim to the perimeter, secure with hold-downs and grout the base.

3. Set boot in place.

4. Level in all directions prior to anchoring.

5. Use anchor bolts and mounting brackets (not supplied) to secure boot to foundation.

6. Check boot levelness and plumbness periodically throughout the installation process to ensure proper elevator erection.

7. Boot Section


Inspection Sections

The inspection section of the GSI Bucket Elevator has been designed for easy installation and maintenance.

1. The removable panels can be installed in any order, to allow for the installation of inspection doors at any preferred locations.

NOTE: Typical installations often place the inspection section directly above the boot on the up-leg side as the first trunking section.

NOTE: Installation will vary and depend on the configuration and application.

NOTE: Along with the inspection section, you will receive installation hardware and two (2) tie angles. Units containing 42" diameter pulleys and larger, will include a cross tie on the legs, which will be included. (See Figure 7B below and Figure 8B on Page 39.)

NOTE: Always assemble trunking sections on a level surface.

1. Section together to make double trunking.

2. Attach tie angle to single trunking as shown in Figure 8C. (If 42" diameter or larger install cross tie angle.)

3. Multiple sections can be ground assembled.

4. Make sure sections are assembled straight, without twist.

5. Caulk all mating companion angle surfaces to ensure water and dust resistance.

NOTE: Do NOT assemble more than nine (9.0) linear meter at any time.

NOTE: It is important to maintain plumb and square trunking in all directions.

• Guy and plumb trunking in all directions after installing each section.

• Check levels through legging installation process.

• Check all connecting hardware is secure after each installation.

NOTE: Attachment bolt holes in the tie angles are intentionally tight for the M12 diameter bolts. This helps ensure more precise plumbing of the trunking. Never drill these holes out for easier installation.

11. Belting, Splicing and Buckets

BeltsThe belt for the elevator leg has been specifically chosen based on leg height, grain, weight, pulley diameter, etc.

The belt has been pre-punched to accommodate special buckets with specific spacing.

Installing the belt can be accomplished several different ways. GSI recommends the following:

1. Prior to installing the belt, raise the boot pulley to its upper most point to allow for proper tensioning.

2. On shorter installations, consider assembling the buckets to the belt before installing the belt. While this may be less time consuming, the additional weight of the buckets and connecting hardware may make the belt more difficult to handle.

3. Feed belt up through the inspection section, over the head pulley, through the down-leg, around the boot pulley and back up to the splice.

SplicingAfter connecting the ends of the belt together, a winching device such as a come-a-long may be required.

GSI recommends splicing the belt by overlapping the belts or by using the bar splice method.

1. When overlap splicing, draw a 1.5 m minimum of the belt (B) coming up from the bottom of the boot over belt hanging down from head. (See Figure 11A.)

2. An alternative method, the bar splice (not included) is accomplished by turning the ends of the belt out and affixing the manufactured bar splice components per the manufacturer’s recommendations.

NOTE: Lacing and other specific types of belt splicing are NOT recommended.

Belt Installation

Installation of textile elevator belts with BC1 and supergrip numbers 3, 4 and 5 belt fasteners.

These instructions are intended to assist the erector to install correctly the BC1 and supergrip numbers 3, 4 and 5 belt fasteners.

Before commencing any work, advice should be sought from the safety. Advisor and relevant personal protective equipment should be worn.

Only skilled fitters should assemble the belt and belt connectors.

It is recommended that any safety instructions are followed explicitly.

General Information

The elevator belt is in a roll and should be treated with care the roll should not be unloaded by dropping onto rough ground and should not be rolled on rough ground storage should be in a dry environment away from sunlight, UV lighting, ozone, oils, acids and solvents.

Prior to Installation

Tools and equipment required.

• Belting clamps with D shackle location holes positioned 50 mm wider than the belt.

• 2 x 1-1/2 Tonne chain blocks or two (2) adequately strong screw.

• Turnbuckles, electric or pneumatic drill m/c with 14 mm and 16 mm diameter drills.

• D Shackles.

• M14 and M16 threaded rods 300 mm long each with a nut welded to one end.

• M14 and M16 sockets, ring spanners and torque wrench.



Installation

Remove the head cover and the inspection doors immediately above the boot. The inspection doors (A) should be about 70 mm wider than the belt for ease of access. Lift the elevator boot pulley to its highest position. Isolate the elevator drive and electric power in the elevator. Position the elevator belt in front of the down side inspection doors (A) above the boot.

Prepare one end of the elevator belt about 400 mm from the end to accept either the BC1 sections or the numbers 3, 4 and 5 belt fasteners at 55 mm each shoulder to shoulder starting from the middle, by using a 3 mm thick steel template with pre-drilled holes as required for the belt fastener. The template must be at an exact right angle to the belt side and when correctly positioned, drill the mounting holes through the template in the belt end.

Lift the belt by means of clamps and shackles into the elevator either by means of a winch threading the belt under the boot pulley, up over the head pulley and down the down side to the inspection door (A) or by a crane lowering the belt down from the head pulley. (See Figure 11B.) Ensure that the prepared end is uppermost at the inspection door (A).

Once the belt has been tensioned and tracked centrally, run the belt at full speed for 30 minutes. At the end of this period stop the belt and with the inching drive position the belt fastener within the inspection doors. Re-check the bolt tensions with a torque wrench starting from the centre bolts and working alternatively towards the outsides of the belt.

The belt clamps should be checked every month to ensure the correct torque.

Ref # Description

N 210 Minimum Overlap

Clamp material = Mild steel zinc plated



Installing the Buckets1. Install the buckets to the belt in sections, so as not to unbalance the whole assembly and torque up

the bucket bolts to the required tension.

2. When all the buckets are installed, operate the elevator on full load for about 12 hours and then check that the belt is running centrally on the pulleys and re-tighten all the bucket bolts.

3. Check the bucket bolt torque once a month.

Installation of Light Narrow Belts1. Lift the boot pulley up to its highest point in the boot prepare one belt end with the holes for

the fasteners.

2. Install the belt into the elevator with the two (2) belt ends situated at the lower inspection doors. Overlap the two (2) ends and attach securely two (2) clamps about 1500 mm apart. One on the top belt part and one on the bottom part of the belt. Attach to the clamps on each side of the belt either chain blocks or adjustable turn buckles. Tighten these tensioners up until the belt is tight and the two (2) ends are easy to fold out to work on.

3. Bend out the prepared belt end and bend out the other end immediately under the prepared end. Mark out and drill the lower belt fastener holes at right angles to the to the belt side. It is essential that the fasteners are at right angles to the belt otherwise the belt will not track correctly. Clamp the belt fasteners to the belt with the tongue part in between the belts with the 300 mm screwed rods starting at the middle of the belt. Install all the bolts and nuts and fasten and torque as in the previous instruction.

BucketsBuckets are attached to belting using elevator bolts pushed through the belting back side, through the elevator bucket, a flat (fender) washer, a lock washer and a nut.

1. Secure bucket by tightening nut to slightly indent belt back with bolt head.

2. Remember to leave buckets off near the splice area, if installing buckets prior to belt installation.(See Figure 11J on Page 55.)

Torque requirements are as follows:

• 5 N-M (44" pounds) for M6 bolts



3. ALWAYS re-check bolts for correct torque after initial start-up and periodically thereafter.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN BOLTS.

Over tightening can lead to breakage.



Belt Slack Removal

Remove any slack in belt after splice connection by lowering boot pulley. It is important that the boot pulley and shaft are checked and maintained to be horizontally level.

Manual Screw Take-Ups

1. Turn the take-up screws on each side of the boot to control the boot pulley position.

2. After each adjustment, ALWAYS lock each take-up screw in position with the lock nut provided.

Gravity Take-Ups

Weight provides the tensioning method for gravity take-up.

NOTE: The weight box may not require any additional weight because the weight of the belt, cups, weight box assembly and boot pulley assembly provide adequate tensioning in the belt to eliminate slippage at the head pulley.

If additional weight is needed:

1. Add weights (not included) - Do not use increments of greater than 45 kg (100 pounds).

2. Equally distribute weight from side to side for proper belt tracking.

3. Use the bearing plate adjustment screws to level the boot pulley after any needed weight is added.

4. Loosen the bolts attaching the channels of the weight frame assembly to the bearing plate assembly before adjusting the bearing screws.

5. After adjustments have been made, re-tighten bolts and snug the bearing plate adjustment screw lock nuts. (See Figure 11J on Page 55.)

NOTE: Lowering the bearing plate which the belt is tracking towards on the boot pulley should cause the belt to track back towards the center of the pulley. Inversely, raising the bearing plate which the belt is tracking away from will also center the belt.

13. Final Checks, Tracking, Start-Up and Maintenance

General Final Checks

1. Adjust the throat plate in the head discharge so there is approximately 6.0 mm clearance between it and edge of the buckets on the lap splice. (See Figure 13A.)

Figure 13A Throat Plate

1. Check clearance at the mechanical splice.2. Do a final check of all parts to be sure all hardware is tight and no foreign objects or tools are left inside elevator.3. Check all guards, inspection doors and removable plates to be sure they are in place and secure.4. Tighten the take-up screws on the boot evenly to tighten the belt on the pulley, keeping bottom pulley level and work from side to side in small amounts until belt is tight.5. Rotate by hand or carefully jog drive to check for proper rotation, clearance and operation of entire unit. Make any adjustments necessary.6. Jog the drive a minimum of one complete revolution of belt. If no problems exist, carefully run the Bucket Elevator.



Belt Tracking

Tracking of the belt is very important for optimum results.

1. To correct any tracking problems.

• First adjust the boot bearing plates.

• Adjust the take-up screws downward on the side that the belt is tracking toward.

2. If this does not correct the problem or if the belt is tracking properly on the boot pulley but not the head pulley, further adjustments to the head pulley may be required.

3. The bearing side that the belt is tracking toward may need to be shimmed to compensate.

• Loosen the head bearing bolts that go through the head angle.

• Use the jacking screws to raise the bearing.

• Place a full shim the bearing base.

• Back off the screws.

• Re-tighten the bearing mounting bolts.

NOTE: Use thin shims to make small adjustments until the belt tracks properly.

Start-Up

Once you are sure all installations, safety checks, adjustments and lubrications have been completed:

1. Run the elevator for WITHOUT LOAD an initial break-in period of several hours.

2. Look and listen for any irregularities before running any material through the unit.

3. Re-check all moving parts and adjust as needed.

4. Adjust belt for final tension under load as needed.

Maintenance

Regularly scheduled maintenance helps ensure long life and safe operation of the unit.

1. Routine maintenance checks may include general wear, loose nuts and bolts, electrical wiring, contacts, switches, misalignment, guy wire inspection, bearing seals and lubrication and oil content for gearbox.

2. The belt will stretch after installation and may need further adjustment. Expect some stretching during the first few weeks of operation.

3. On manual take-up boots, belt tension should be maintained by turning the boot take-up screws slowly and evenly to maintain proper tracking. When the screw adjustment is completely used, the belt will have to be re-spliced.

NOTE: Good belt tension is critical for proper traction on the pulley and optimum performance.



Dealing with Elevator BlockagesElevator blockage is an unlikely event, but can occur if the equipment being fed by the elevator becomes blocked. To resolve this, take the following steps:

1. Stop the elevator and run the down stream equipment to eliminate any down stream blockage.

2. Attempt to re-start the system.

3. If the elevator has become so blocked that it will not start freely, it may need to be emptied. Do not continually start and stop the elevator motor, as this will result in motor over heating and equipment damage.

4. Turn off the elevator; lock out all power, lock and tag the electrical power isolator so that the equipment cannot be re-started inadvertently. (See Figure 13B.)

Figure 13B



Dealing with Elevator Blockages (Continued)5. At the boot of the elevator, un-bolt and open the clean-out doors. (See Figure 13C.)

Figure 13C

6. Allow grain to drop by gravity and remove by hand.

a. Do not attempt to run the elevator with the clean-out door open.

b. Do not attempt to have the elevator ‘dig’ itself out by running it with the clean-out door open.

7. Once grain has stopped running by gravity, replace the clean-out door and tighten all bolts.

8. Check that all other people are clear of the elevator and other equipment.

9. Unlock the electrical power and attempt to re-start the elevator.
