Installation & Operating Instructions
Metalfab Live Bins
Description
Metalfab Live Bins are a complete package of a bin with an attached vibrator and
a support stand. The bin has vibration isolators between the bin and the stand.
Instructions
The unit should be lifted by the support stand only.
If the bin itself is lifted, undue strain will be put on the isolators and may cause
their failure. The unit should be installed on a level, firm support floor. There
are bolt down holes provided in the frame leg brackets.
The vibrators are dual voltage and should be wired according to the diagram in
the conduit box and the manufacturers instruction manual. Because the bin is
vibrated, the wiring must be flexible to prevent failure. Neoprene covered
braided wire is suggested.
There should be NO hard connections to the Live Bin. A flexible connection
should be at both the inlet and outlet of the bin.
Because the bin is supported by elastomer isolators, the only ground connection
is through the motor leads. If further grounding is required, use a braided cable
from the bin to the support stand or any other ground connection.
After the unit is wired (rotation can be either clockwise or counter clockwise, it
should run for ten (10) minutes and then all bolts should be checked for
tightness per the chart below:
3/8Åh BOLT...........................................................................35 FOOT POUNDS
1/2Åg BOLT.........................................................................125 FOOT POUNDS
5/8Åh BOLT.........................................................................160 FOOT POUNDS
3/4Åg BOLT.........................................................................310 FOOT POUNDS
THE TIGHTNESS SHOULD BE CHECKED PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER.
