Introduction
The Cleveland Cascade loading chute is a specialist loading system designed to control the
flow of bulk materials in a mass flow, this is a single steam of material moving in high volume
at very low speed through the chute. In order for the chute to perform successfully in this
manner, the product feed to the chute should be as per the designed rate for which the chute is
arranged.
Any deviations from this design rate may adversely affect the chutes performance. A thorough and
detailed understanding of the Cascade chute is required in order to effectively commission a new
system to ensure safe and reliable long term operations.
Cleveland Cascades always recommends that CCL trained engineers are employed on site for the
chutes installation and commissioning when new, in order to ensure the system is arranged correctly
and commissioned to perform with optimum results.
In order to arrange site services for your Cascade chute, please contact Cleveland Cascades as
follows;
Brian Thirlwall (Commercial Dept)

Teesside Industrial Estate, Thornaby,
Stockton On-Tees, TS17 9LT United Kingdom
The Cascade system uses the principle of mass flow at low velocity. Mass flow reduces
the liberation of dust and low velocity down the Cascade virtually eliminates the movement
of dust-laden air within the surrounding shroud. The shroud eliminates the adverse effects
of side winds.
This manual covers the complete range of Cascade Chutes supplied for ship and silo loading.
A full description of all Cascade Chute assembly’s can be found in Section 1.
Please note that your system may or may not contain all of these assemblies,
depending on its specification.
To identify the parts described for your Cascade Chute, please use the Parts List and Drawings
in Section 4.
This manual contains important safety and operational notes that must be followed by the user/
operator. If there are any query’s regarding the operation of the Cascade Chute, contact Cleveland
Cascades Ltd for further information or assistance.
Cleveland Cascades Ltd cannot take any responsibility for damage caused from incorrect
use of the Cleveland Cascade Chute system.
The information in this manual has been carefully evaluated and checked.
We reserve the right to effect technical changes or amendments resulting in future developments.
1. Unloading
The Cascade Chute will have been supplied packaged for suitable transportation. Reference should
be made to the weights noted on each package prior to handling and suitable equipment and
methods selected to safely handle these loads.
2. Installation
Prior to undertaking any installation work a responsible person should read all the information relating
to the Cascade Chute as set out in the Product Manual.
A risk assessment should be undertaken for the installation work and all instructions and warnings
set out in the Product Manual, followed.
The particular risks identified in undertaking the installation are those associated with lifting the
equipment into position. In this case a competent person should consider the various factors such
as the weight to be lifted and the provisions provided for attaching, in selecting a safe method.
Particular reference should be made to the arrangement drawings where any specific points
regarding the installation, will have been noted.
Care should be taken in ensuring that the actual installation matches the details shown on the
arrangement and assembly drawings. If any aspects of the work are unclear then Cleveland
Cascades should be contacted for clarification.
Careful attention should be paid to the specification of the fasteners used in making the main load
bearing connections of the chute onto the material handling equipment. Details of these will be found
on the Technical Specification, and by reference to the item number on the arrangement drawing.
As the chute is fitted with electrical equipment, the connections should only be made by a competent
person and in strict accordance with the connection diagrams and instructions. Attention should be
paid to ensuring that proper electrical isolations are carried out when working on this or any other
part of the chute.
The hoist winch included within the chute should never be used for any other purpose than those
specified in the installation and operating instructions.
If required, our own engineers can assist in the installation of your Chute to your existing loading
equipment. Using factory-trained engineers helps you adhere to your completion schedules and
assists in system integration in the confidence that high standards of engineering practises are being
employed in accordance with our ISO9001 quality system.
Using an experienced Cleveland Cascades Ltd engineer to commission your loading chute can save
you time and money, by thoroughly checking the installation, but most importantly, by ensuring the
system is set up correctly to optimise throughput and minimise maintenance costs.
For additional information or to discuss how Cleveland Cascades Ltd can help you to maximise
performance and control costs, please contact us at [email protected]
3. Operation
Only competent persons, who have received suitable training and instruction in its use, should
undertake the operation of the chute. The chute should never be used for any other purpose than for
which it was specifically designed. The material being handled should not be different to that which
was specified for the chutes design. Any variations could adversely affect its operation and advice
should be sought from Cleveland Cascades prior to any change of use. The chute is a suspended
load and as such any persons should stand well clear of it, in a safe position. It is important that prior
to loading with the chute, the recommended pre-operation checks are carried out (see Section 2,
page 44). As the chutes control operates under a semi-automatic operation, personnel working in or
around the vicinity of the equipment need to be made aware that the chute can automatically move
without warning.
At no time should any additional load be suspended from the chute.
4. Maintenance
The chute should be regularly maintained in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Product
Manual (Section 2, page 47). In undertaking any maintenance on the chute the necessary isolations
of the electrical systems should be applied to prevent the risk due to the moving parts of the
equipment. Safe systems of access to facilitate maintenance should be carefully considered.
5. Guarding
The design of the chute is such that it contains moving parts and in particular areas where steel
ropes under load are moving. Where practical local guarding has been used to protect people in
the vicinity of the equipment from coming into contact with these parts. In some circumstances the
aspect of guarding due to the positioning of the moving parts on the existing equipment will have to
be considered by the operator of the equipment. This should be considered in conjunction with the
guarding policy used on the equipment to which the chute is fitted.
6. Sound levels
Operation of the Cascade Chute with powder materials will not likely give rise to sound levels
exceeding 70 dB at a typical operator position, 5m from the chute. For other materials and
particularly granular and lumpy materials, the sound levels could be in excess of 70 dB.
Section 1
Head Chute Assembly
The head chute connects the end of the boom conveyor to the Cascade
Chute. The head chute controls the material feed from the end of the conveyor
and directs the flow into the Cascade Chute by a series of deflector cones.
The head chute is designed to suit the loading boom. There are fixed, pivoting and
double pivoting types.
To guide the material from the boom conveyor into the Cascade chute a number of deflector
cones are fitted. The defectors may be adjustable; these can be adjusted during commissioning,
for details see the general arrangement drawing for head chute type.
The deflector cone adjustment allows the correct flow into the Cascade cone.
Electrical connections are terminated at the head chute level or connected by a reeling drum
system where fitted.
The shroud is suspended from anchor brackets fixed to the head chute cowl.
The shroud can be fitted by lifting the top section of the shroud and connecting the six hooks to the
cowl anchor brackets. An elasticated cuff at the top of the shroud forms a seal with the head chute.
The three strop mountings are on the underside section of the head chute, the shroud must be
lowered to gain access to these.
The head chute cowl section must remain horizontal +/- 0.5°, when the Cascade chute is in
operation.
On a fixed head chute installation, this must be checked and adjusted before the Cascade is
operated. Where the boom can operate at a range of angles, the lower head chute section must
remain horizontal, this can be achieved by adjusting the counterweights, supplied. See general
arrangement drawing for details of the range of angles that the head chute will function correctly.

Cable Reeling Drum/Catenary
The cable grip transfers all of the pulling force of the reeling drum to a long section of the
cables outer insulation, it eliminates any pulling force on the terminal box cable gland.
The cores of the reeling drum cable are ferruled and have markers attached.
These cores need to be connected to the terminals bearing the same title as the cable markers within
the carrier terminal box.
Follow the drawings in Section 4 for details of wiring connections.
Maintenance
The areas of maintenance that require inspection are
1. Condition of the cable. Check for cracks in
the outer cover, check the security of the
compression glands. JUNCTION BOX
Catenary
This is used when you are unable to use/fit a reeling drum onto the head chute.
This is connected from the head chute, along the shroud and connected onto the carrier.
The catenary is a flexible cable which will move up and down with the chute, when the chute is
extended or retracted.
Section 1
Winch Assembly & Limits
The winch units fitted to operate the Cascade chute are normally of two types.
1. Triple spool winch, normally fitted directly to the head chute.
2. Drum winch. Normally mounted along the boom away from the Cascade Chute.
Note: Some gearbox units are supplied without oil and require filling before use.
1. Triple Spool
The hoist winch consists of a braked geared motor that is mounted to the side of the head chute.
The upper end of the output shaft from the gearbox has a triple rope spool arrangement
mounted to it, which collects the hoist ropes. The spool shaft is used to drive a rotary limit switch
to provide the operating limits for the winch. The triple spool has three anchor points near the
centre of the spool, three nuts lock the rope ends to the centre of the spool. The length of the
lifting ropes allows for three safety turns, the safety turns lock the rope to the spools. The rope
anchors only secure the rope to the drum they are not designed to hold the Cascade loads.
To check the oil level in the gearbox the mounting position needs to be referred to in the
manufacturer’s manual.

2. Drum Winch
Winch assembly and limits
The hoist winch unit consists of a braked geared motor that is directly mounted to the side of the
winch drum. The drum is divided into three sections for each rope that connects to the Cascade
carrier. A bearing supports the non-drive end of the drum shaft and the shaft is used to drive a rotary
limit switch to provide the operating limits for the winch.
The drum has three anchor points for each rope. The length of the lifting ropes allows for three safety
turns, the safety turns lock the rope to the drum. The rope anchors only secure the rope to the drum
they are not designed to hold the Cascade loads.
To check the oil level in the gearbox, the mounting position needs to be referred to in the
manufacturer’s manual.
The winch frame must be mounted with bolts suitable for the maximum safety loads that winch
ropes are designed for. Please refer to your technical information and drawings for bolt-specifications.
Please note: Check oil label on the gearbox for type and quantity.
MOTOR BRAKE
DRUM MOTOR
LIMIT SWITCH
Section 1
Winch Assembly & Limits
Winch brake
The winch brake is integral with the winch motor and operates when the supply to the hoist motor is
removed. The operation of the brake needs to be connected for fast action to reduce the over run of
the winch motor.
When the chute is lowering and the winch contacts are de-energized, the momentum of the chute
and residual magnetism in the motor will cause the motor to become a generator. If the supply for
the winch brake is derived from the motor phase supply, then this generated e.m.f will continue to
energize the brake causing the motor to run past the point when the winch contact was de-energized.
The use of auxiliary contacts on the winch contactors to isolate the brake supply prevents this motor
run on and gives fast acting brake functionality as explained below.
The winch motor is designed for direct on line start and should be controlled via a motor reversal kit
(two mechanical and electrical interlocked motor contactors with overload unit). Two auxiliary contact
blocks on the winch motor contactors, WINCH UP & WINCH DN, should be used for fast acting
brake functionality. The winch brake unit is fed from either a six terminal rectifier, or from a three
phase supply. The brake should be supplied through normally open auxiliary contacts on the motor
contactors, (the brake is a failsafe unit, this means that it has to be energised to release it) the brake
supply can then be broken immediately via these external contacts when the motor supply contactors
are de-energised, thus the brake is applied immediately.
See electrical specification for project specific brake wiring.
Winch limits
The winch limits allow for adjustment of the Cascade Chute from fully extended to fully retracted
positions, as shown in the general arrangement drawing with the maximum and minimum chute
lengths. Care must be taken when adjusting the top limit so that when the chute is raised into the
head chute, no collision occurs which could damage the top cone. When the lower limit is set, do
not allow the last cone to lift out of the carrier section and check that the rope is not beyond the three
safety turns on the spools.
To adjust the limits see the manufacturer’s manual in Section 5.
Ropeways
The ropeways connect the winch to the Cascade carrier; the three ropes
are routed to positions around the top of the head chute with sheaves, WINCH LIMITS
the ropes then hang vertical and pass through rope guides connected to
the shroud rings.
The sheave assembly consist of the bracket with a pin-mounted sheave;
If nylon sheaves are used, they have self-lubricating properties, but
should be greased regularly from the grease point at the end of the pin.
The rope guide keeps the rope in contact with the sheave at all times.
Note: The rope and related equipment must be inspected at the GEARBOX
beginning of each work period and particularly following any incident
that could have damaged the rope or installation. The entire length
of the rope should be inspected and particular attention paid to the
winch, sheave assemblies and terminations at both ends of the rope.
Section 1
Hand Winding Instructions
Overview
The main winch motor has been supplied with a double ended output shaft which can be utilised in
the event of power failure to hand wind the motor to extend /retract the chute as required.
Safety
Hand winding must only be carried out by authorised personnel who have received suitable
training and instructions in the chutes operation as failure to follow instructions and procedures
may result in injury or damage.
The electrical supply to the winch must be isolated before commencing hand winding.
The hand crank and brake release lever must only be fitted during hand winding and must be
removed prior to returning to normal service.
Hand winding is physically demanding and could take a considerable amount of time so it is
recommended that more than one operative is present.
Operation
Attach brake release lever to brake using fixings provided ensuring that there is no accidental
operation of brake.
Attach hand crank to motor shaft using key and fixings provided.
Constant pressure must be applied to the hand crank prior to operating the brake,as manually
overriding the brake may cause the chute to move.
With the brake release lever operated (brake lifted) proceed to wind the hand crank until the chute
reaches its desired height.
Release pressure on the brake (brake operated) and proceed to remove the hand crank followed
by the brake release lever before returning the chute to normal operation
GEARBOX
MOTOR
Typical spool winch with manual brake release and hand winding.
Note: A typical gear ratio would be in the region of 280:1 meaning hat the motor would need
rotating 280 times to rotate the output shaft on the gear once, in real terms this means each
time the crank is rotated the chute will extend/retract by ~5mm.

Overload Monitoring System
The load detected by the overload system is the static weight of the Cascade section (see Cones
& Liners and Strops) plus the weight of the material running through the cones. The reading on
the display is summed to give the total load of the chute section being weighed.
The system measures the mV output from a load cell. This mV signal is then processed to give 2
adjustable alarm trigger points which are relayed through two volt free relay contacts. The processing
unit can also provide a variable analogue output current (4-20mA) which can be relayed to a second
remote processing unit or PLC.
Description
There are two variants of the Overload System one for non-explosive atmospheres and the other for
explosive atmospheres.
The non-explosive atmospheres system comprises of a load cell with 10m of cable attached (CC-
LC1), a hinged junction box (CC-SJB2), to be located by the customer and a London Electronics
Process Meter housed within CC-SJB2.
The explosive atmospheres system consists of a certified load cell with its cable terminated in an
intrinsically safe terminal Box attached to the head chute assembly and a certified signal converter
which is to be located in a designated safe area by the customer.
Load cell
The load cell is pre-calibrated to give 2mV/V output at full load. The London Electronics unit has a
10V supply to power the cell which will give a span of 0 to 20mV. The signal converter unit has a 5V
supply to power the cell which will give a span of 0 to 10mV.
Note: The load cell should be removed from the head chute or the connections earthed
if during construction, any electrical welding sets are being used in this area.

This enclosure must be mounted in an easily accessible area, within 10m of the load cell. The
enclosure contains the London Electronics Meter which processes the mV signal to give two relay
outputs which are configured as overload and under load alarm indicators. The meter can also give
an analogue 4-20mA output signal to be used with another remote meter (the maximum length of the
signal cable is 500m) for display and alarm indication.
Test function
Inside SJB2 a variable mV signal simulates a load rising from zero to full scale and enables operation
of the set points to be verified. Operation of a toggle switch and variable pot give this function.

Section 1
Cascade Cones & Liners
The suspended Cascade cones are alternate type ‘A’ and type ‘B’ cones.
Each cone is alternately inclined towards the adjacent cone, controlling
the flow of material.
The angle and spacing of the cones is set with the strops, which are supplied based on design
throughput output rates as per the supply agreement. Experience tells us that these ideal, steady
rates are often difficult to achieve and so it is recommended that Cleveland Cascades service
personnel are employed to commission the chute. They will ensure that the cascade setup at it’s
optimum to cope with the actual loading rates / fluctuations seen on site.
Each cone is fitted with a suitable liner, details of which can be found in the Parts List in Section 4.
Cone Liners
Wear resistant liners are fitted to the cones. The abrasive nature of the product being loaded in the
Cascade Chute, will be a factor in the choice of liner material fitted. Other factors have been taken
into consideration, for example material size, normal running temperature and feed rate.
The Parts List in Section 4 of the manual gives the details of the liners fitted in the Cascade Chute.
Note: The performance of the liner may be affected if specification of material being loaded
is changed. Consult Cleveland Cascades for details.
Strop Connection
The cones are suspended from three strops; each cone has 3 attachments moulded into or bolted
to the cone rim. See Section 1, page 21 for strop assembly description.

The removal of cones from a Cascade Chute during service / strop change procedure
In order to remove cones from the Cascade cone stack, the following steps should be followed.
1. Place the Cascade chute into its parked position (fully retracted at high limit).
2. Disconnect the shroud from the head-chute cowl in order to expose all three strop /
head-chute connections (See Figure 1).
3. Disconnect all three strops from the head-chute by removing the strop pins from the
strop brackets (If fitted, ensure the anti-static lead attached to the head chute is disconnected).
4. Lower the Cascade chute into its maintenance stand or trailer, or into a position where
the skirt assembly can easily be removed (approximately 1m from the quay).
5. Remove the skirt assembly.
6. With the skirt assembly removed, check to see if the material detection probes are protruding
beyond the exit of the chute and if so, raise their position until the tips of the probes are well
inside the steel carrier cone.
7. Lower the chute onto the quay.
8. Disconnect all three hoist ropes from the carrier eye bolts and transfer them to the lifting eyes
situated on the shroud bottom ring.
9. Because the hoist ropes are now connected to the shroud assembly, the hoist can now be used to
raise the complete shroud clear of the Cascade cone stack, and therefore fully exposing the cones
(See Figure 2).
10. Disconnect the three strops from the cone eye connections.
11. Using all three of the strop anchor points, remove each cone individually via a safe means of lifting.
Please note: Prior to attempting this activity, it is important to take reference from the technical
specification document in order to determine the combined weight of the cone and liner.

Liner Anti-Static System
The Cascade cones are fitted with conductive liners that path to earth
to discharge any static build up.
Liner Anti-Static System
The purpose of the liner anti-static system is to prevent electrostatic charge accumulation within the
cascade chute. The system consists of UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) polyethylene liners on
all chute running surfaces, these have a very high impact strength and a low surface resistivity, p ≤
10^9 Ohm . All liners have stainless steel bonding strips attached, which in turn connect to the cones
stainless steel bonding links. The interconnecting cone links, carrier assembly links and head chute
assembly links form one statically conductive path to earth and when connected correctly should
have a resistance value of ≤ 10^6 Ohm.
Prior to leaving our factory the ‘liner material’ and ‘static bonding path to earth’ for each chute are
tested in accordance with BS EN 60079-32-2:2015 and BS EN 61340-2-3-2000, to ensure that all
electrostatic hazards have been reduced to an absolute minimum.
Due to packaging constraints during transportation the cone stack may be separate from the carrier
and head chute assembly on arrival at site. The cone stack will have all anti-static interconnecting
links made with two free ends at the top and bottom of the cone stack. These must be connected to
the respective anti-static links of the carrier and head chute during chute assembly. Once the chute
has been assembled a continuity test of the anti-static bonding system to earth must be carried out
before any material can be loaded. The test can be carried out with a meter capable of measuring
resistance, the value of resistance measured must be ≤ 10^6 Ohm. Note, on delivery to site, all
free ends of the anti-static bonding system will have a laminated A4 sheet attached with a message
reminding the construction team of the importance of connecting all free ends of the anti-static
bonding system.
Special Anti-static measures for sulphur loading chutes
We give special consideration to the selection of liner material for sulphur
loading chutes, due to the special properties of sulphur with reference to dust
cloud formation. The minimum ignition energy (MIE) for a sulphur dust cloud is
very low, 15mJ at 35g/m³ given an average particle size of
< 150µm therefore it is essential that any charge build-up be dissipated as
quickly as possible. It is for this reason that, for sulphur loading chutes we use a
liner material with a surface resistivity r ≤ 10^6 Ohm. This value is the same as
that recommended by BS EN ISO 284:2012 for antistatic type conveyor belts. STATIC
EARTH
To ensuring that electrostatic discharge is kept to an absolute minimum within STRAP
sulphur loading chutes it is a requirement that the ship loader delivery system
and delivered material comply to the following:
1. The Rubber used on the conveyor systems taking the material into our
chutes should be anti-static and adherent to the British Standard BS EN ISO EARTH STRAP
CONNECTION
284:2012
2. The sulphur should be in the form of prills, granules, pastilles or flakes EARTH
STRAP
3. The moisture content of the material should be a constant minimum 3% LINER
Static earth connections are placed on all connecting parts, with separate connection supplied from the
head chute to the clients steelwork. Most connections will be fixed in place by CCL trained technicians,
any connections that are loose due to transport/packaging restrictions will have a laminated sheet
attached showing instructions of where to connect.

Maintenance
As the Strops act as the main support for the Cascade Cones and also give the correct spacing,
it is important that the Strops are inspected and replaced at regular intervals. Check for fraying in
the main strop and attachment loop. Although the strops are designed to take 7 times the normal
running load, the strength can be significantly reduced if the strops are worn or damaged.
The life span of the Strops can differ due to the environmental conditions in which the Chute
operates, usage of the Chute, and the product passing through the Chute. A good preventative
maintenance plan and inspection routine is an effective method of ensuring Strop failures do not
occur. If you operate a “High Duty” Chute, we would recommend that your Strops be replaced
every 12-18 months, or every 2,000,000 tonnes of product handled, whichever occurs first. If you
are operating a “Low Duty” Chute, we would recommend replacing every 18-24 months, or again
every 2,000,000 tonnes handled, whichever occurs first.
This kind of maintenance ensures that the Strops in service are always in good condition with
a High Factor of Safety in respect to the Chute’s normal working load.
Information on your Chute’s duty rate is available from Cleveland Cascades Limited.
PLEASE NOTE
These guidelines are based on generalised information, each product and site environment differs
and so the life of strops cannot be guaranteed, they are a wearing part within the chute and the
operations and maintenance of the chute should treat them as a critical item. Care should be taken
to monitor the condition of the strops over their service life and develop an understanding of their
safe working life. The chute is designed for the confirmed rates, any deviation on the material rate,
may result in problems and reduce the lifespan of the strops. Please contact Cleveland Cascades if
unsure.
Section 1
Shroud Assembly
At the bottom of the shroud is a steel ring that locates on the carrier. On this ring are three lifting
lugs. These lugs enable the hoist winch to be used to lift the shroud from the carrier over the stack
of cones for installation / removal. The intermediate shroud connecting rings have three rope guides
attached to them, through which the winch ropes pass.
Maintenance
The shroud requires a visual inspection of the fabric, small tears and rips can be patched, but shroud
sections should be replaced if they have excessive areas of wear and tear, or large holes.
The Cascade Chute should be fully extended at the end of each loading cycle to clear any trapped
material that may be trapped within lower folded shroud sections.

Carrier Assembly
Two or more openings are provided in the carrier to give access for inspection or adjustment of the
material detection probe. These openings are fitted with a spilling hatch that will protect the chute
from blocking if any of the detection systems fail (See carrier spill doors, page 28).
The skirt assembly or trimming spout attaches to the underneath of the carrier, to minimize dust
emission from the top of the material pile.
ROPE ANCHOR
Section 1
Carrier Spill Doors
The spill door is designed to open when material builds up behind it.
During normal chute operation material will flow through the chute, however, due to a
mechanical / electrical component failure or overfeeding of the chute, it is possible
that material can spill and build up behind the spill door. In these circumstances the spill
door will be forced open. The spill doors are sized to allow spilling at an equal rate to that
of the chute’s feed rate, in order to contain the blockage within the carrier.
Description
The spill door is a membrane stretched over a circular outlet and secured using an elastic cord
with a safety lanyard.
The membrane is made from PVC coated Polyester and the elastic cord is a polyester braided rubber.
Operation
The membrane will be forced off by the pressure of material building up behind it and is retained
by the lanyard attached to the door. If the membrane is forced off, the cause should be investigated
and the membrane refitted.
Maintenance
Remove the membrane weekly and check that no dust has accumulated behind it. Clean the
membrane, check the tension in the elastic cord and refit.

Material Detection System
The probe needs to be positioned so that it detects material as the material pile builds, but is out
of the direct material flow. The adjustment allows the positioning to give the best control of
the hoist winch raise system.

VIBRATION PROBE
Operation
Inside the probe head the control unit has a relay output, this is a single pole changeover contact, as
the probe changes state the contact gives a choice of normally open and normally closed connections.
The connection of the probe to the Cascade control needs to be considered for fail-safe operation.
All material detection systems are wired with normally closed contacts, when the vibration probes
are in their normal state (uncovered).
When the vibration probe detects material the relay connection opens to operate the winch control
timers. The opening connection in the probe allows the whole system of wiring to be fail-safe, if there
is any damage to the reeling drum cable or the wiring in the terminal boxes back to the control panel
the fault would react like a signal from the probe. As with the fail-safe for the probe failure, the chute
would initially raise and then shut down the material feed conveyor.
Section 1
Skirt Assembly
The skirt sits over the apex of a material pile during loading to form a seal between the material and
the chute.
The two connection brackets are to allow easy connection to the flange fitting on the carrier, two bolts
can be used to hold the skirt assembly in position through these brackets while the flange is bolted.
The segmented skirt opens as the pile of material builds below the carrier. The dust seal is maintained
provided that the skirts maintain contact with the material.
Maintenance
Check the inner rubber leaves for wear, the rubber leaves should hang free. Replace leaves
which are excessively worn or damaged.
Change the canvas outer skirt if the bottom edge becomes ripped or frayed.
CONNECTION BRACKETS
Section 1
Closed Hatch Loading
The Hatch Charger is designed to be used when filling a closed hatch vessel.
This section attaches to the carrier assembly and is used to guide the falling product into
the ships hatch.
The skirted outlet must be removed from the loading chute, and the hatch charger
installed in it’s place.

Trimmer Control
The trimmer motor requires a reversing control from a three phase supply.
Operator controls should be push button for clock and anti-clock directions.
Note:- Trimmers fitted with tilt switches, have a proximity switch set to limit rotation to 350º,
this will prevent the cable becoming entangled.
Section 1
Resitain Valve
The resitain valve is fitted on the base of the speed reducer or carrier.
The valve is designed to close the exit of the Cascade Chute when the
loading operation has been completed.
A motor driven actuator operates two ‘trap doors’. The doors hang vertical when the valve
is open and swing together and seal the exit when closed.
A set of pre-adjusted limits are fitted and tested by Cleveland Cascades Ltd during the assembly
of the Chute. These limits will be set at the fully open and fully closed positions.
Note:- The Resitain valve should be in the closed position when manovering the chute around.
The resitain valve should not be allowed to close during loading. An Interlock should
be provided to isolate the feed conveyor when the valve is closed. The valve should also be
open before loading and conveyors should be unable to start until the valve is open.

Tilt Switches
The two tilt switches are suspended from chains anchored to the
Carrier or Speed Reducer.
The main purpose of having a tilt switch installed, is to prevent downward movement from
the chute as the tilts touch the top of the material pile.
The Tilt Switch probe should be positioned to a point near the bottom of the Skirt
(approx 200mm above).
Adjusting the chain links can alter the height of the tilt switches to give the correct level of control.
The tilt switches open circuit when the angle of the body is beyond 25 degrees from vertical.
The two tilt switches have normally closed contacts and are wired in series to the contacts T1
& T2. The circuit requires a true off delay time to operate the control circuit. See the electrical
control requirements in Section 2.
The timer is required to remove spurious trips if the tilt switches are knocked or vibrated.
The time delay for the switching should be 0.3 to 0.5 secs.
If the loading operation requires the chute to be moved down the side of a loaded pile, the tilt
switches may interfere with the loading operation of the winch and will require to be overridden
to allow the chute to be lowered and still placed close to the pile to give good dust control.

Cascade Installation Instructions
PLEASE NOTE: These are generic Installation Instructions. Bespoke Installation Guides
are available upon request from Cleveland Cascades Limited.
Four suitable lifting points are provided on the head chute near the cowl section. Lifting equipment
should be provided to lift the complete head chute in one single lift. The upper pivoting section
should be locked / lashed in to a position that will mate with the boom interface flange when the
head chute is lifted. A transportation link is provided with pivoting head chutes to allow the head
chute to be lifted in a rigid position.
Lift the complete head chute and bolt up the interface flange (refer to the supplied Bolt Torque
Tightening sheet and Head Chute flange connection document for further guidance). Remove any
temporary lock / lashing to the upper section if fitted. Check the alignment of the rope ways from
the winch location, and position of the head drum feed in to the top deflector cone. Adjust the top
deflector to an angle specified in the general arrangement drawing.
Fit any covers seals and guards to the head chute. The winch ropes should be run from the head
chute through the rope sheaves and to the winch location.
Section 2
Cascade Installation Instructions
Electrical Connections
Cleveland Cascades supply all cables up to the head chute section. Any cables from the ship
loader control panel to the cascade chute and operator station to the cascade chute are to be
supplied by the customer, unless previously agreed.
The overload panel SJB2 requires mounting in a location near the load cell on the head chute.
If a single box system, a defence standard cable should be ran to this panel from the ship loader
control panel, again this cable is to be supplied by the customer unless previously agreed. If a two
panel system the panel MPB1 can be located in the main control panel for the cascade controls
and a cable ran between the two.
If possible the cable should be run away from power cables with large inductive loads.
The overload system is tested before delivery; only function tests are required on installation.
The material detection level probes, tilt switches, trimmer motor power and resitain valve (when
supplied with the chute), wiring is terminated in a terminal box / box’s on the carrier assembly
prior to dispatch. The continuity of these connections is then followed through the reeling drum /
drum’s cable to the head chute. A cable is then required to be run from the main control panel
to the head chute.
A chute control philosophy is supplied with the chutes Electrical specification. This details the
equipment function and how the various pieces of electrical equipment should be controlled. This is
to aid the customers control system designer to incorporate the chute control, into the ship loader
control system.
Section 2
Cascade Installation Instructions
Cascade Connection
Because of transport height restrictions the Cascade cones stack is normally supplied partly
assembled on the carrier section. The instructions below may include work that is complete
in our workshop. With the head chute assembly fitted to the boom use the following procedure
to connect the cascade section. Reference should be made to the drawings contained in
Section 1 of the manual.
1. The partly assembled Cascade Chute should be positioned on the ground. Using a crane or other
suitable lifting device the cones on the separate pallet should be lifted into the existing stack of
cones on top of the carrier. Care should be taken when lifting the cones. Lift one cone at a time,
each cone is to be lifted from the three connection eyes around the cone rim. It is important to
ensure that the sequence of alternate type ‘A’ and type ‘B’ cones is built up, finishing with the
correct type of cone at the top of the stack, see the general arrangement drawings. It is important
to ensure that the ‘A’ and ‘B’ type cones are orientated correctly so that when chute is extended
the liner faces on successive cones are opposite each other.
2. The next stage is to complete the attachment of the three strops to the cones that have been
added to the stack. This work should be carried out starting from the lowest cone working
upwards. There are two types of cone eye connection used, refer to the Part List for the cone
attachment type used on your chute. The standard (light duty) type uses a centre ferrule and two
outer bushes. The centre ferrule is placed in the hole through the cone connection eye in the cone
rim. The bushes are inserted into the strop loop with the flange facing inwards. The two washers
are located on the outside of the loops. The bolt should be passed through the whole assembly
and the locking nut tightened so that the whole assembly is free from movement. For the single
bush type. The metal tube insert is placed inside the nylon bush. The bush is then inserted into
the single loop on the strop. The washer is then placed on the outside of the loop. The assembly
is then fitted to the cone bracket (heavy duty) and fixed with the bolt and nut. This process should
then be repeated for each strop on each cone, taking care to make sure that there are no twists
in the strops.
3. The shroud should be lifted on to the carrier using the lifting lugs provided on the bottom ring.
The shroud should be placed on the carrier so that the rope guides sit above the rope attachment
points on the carrier and the lower shroud ring creates a good dust seal on the foam strip.
The Cascade Chute may be supplied complete with the cones and strops attached the shroud
may also be fitted if there are no height restrictions in the container.
4. Having completed this work, the Cascade Chute can then be installed onto the loading unit.
The Cascade should be moved into position, directly below the loader unit taking care to ensure
its correct orientation for connection on to the head chute. Reference should be made to the
general arrangement drawing which shows the connection position for the ‘A’ strop. The green
patch, sewn at the top of the strop, can identify this strop. With the chute in position the hoist ropes
should be lowered down towards the carrier. The thimble eye connections on the end of the ropes
should be passed through the holes on the rope guides attached to the shroud and connect to
the eyebolts on the carrier, using the shackles provided.
Section 2
Cascade Installation Instructions
5. The hoist winch should then be connected in order to raise the chute up towards the feed chute
and cowl, to enable connection. The winch brake should be checked for fast action braking at this
stage by lifting the carrier 0.5m off the ground and checking to see that the winch does not run
on. At this stage the carrier should be checked to make sure that it is suspended level from the
three hoist ropes. Before checking the level, run the system up and down a few times to allow the
hoist ropes to find their natural position in the spool. Adjustment can be made to the level at the
eyebolts on the carrier should this be necessary. If adjustment is required in excess of provided
doughnut spacers on the eyebolts then this should be undertaken at the rope anchors on the
hoist winch. Check that the ropes are running in the spools / drums before adjustment.
6. Electrical connections should then be made to the terminal box / box’s on the carrier from the
cable reeling drum. An anchor point on the carrier locates the cable grip on the reeled cable.
The cable end is glanded or plugged into the terminal box / box’s mounted on the carrier.
7. The chute should be raised to a height, that allows the strops to be connected to the head chute.
Care should be taken when raising the chute, to prevent the cones from colliding with any part
of the supporting structure, this could result in damage to the cones (This is due to the winch
limits not being set). With the chute in position, the three strops should be attached to the strop
connection brackets by removing the pin, placing the strop loop through the bracket and then
replacing the pin (passing it through the loop at the end of each strop). With the pin in position
within the bracket and through the strop, the retaining clip should be passed through the hole at
the end of each pin.
Because the adjustment of the winch limits is carried out during commissioning it is
important that the maximum and minimum chute extents are not exceeded until the
limit switch is correctly adjusted. After successful commissioning the shroud should be
connected to the head chute by raising the shroud assembly top ring to the head chute
cowl and attaching the six hooks onto the head chute.
Section 2
Cascade Commissioning Procedure
Note: The reeling drum springs have a limited pull off beyond the range of the Cascade Chute
length. If too many pre-turns are given to the drum before the cable is connected, it is possible
to reach the spring pull off limit before the cable is fully extended. This can result in damage
to the cable / reeling drum.
7. The chute should be raised and the winch upper limit switch operating position set. Reference
should be made to the minimum retracted position indicated on the arrangement drawing when
setting this limit switch position. The ultimate limit switch should then be let to operate 250mm
above the winch limit.
8. Check the angles of any adjustable deflectors in the head chute and set at the angle shown in
the general arrangement drawing.
9. Extend the chute, check that tilt activation stops the chute extending, continue to extend the
chute to it’s full extension. Visually check to see that adjacent cones and liner faces are inclined
towards each other and that the A and B cones form a symmetrical pattern from the top cone
to the lowest cone. Check that there are no twists in the 3 strops connecting the cones.
10. Measure the inclination angle of each cone and compare this against the angle specified in the
technical specification. The angles measured should be within 0.5 of a degree either way of the
angle specified.
Section 2
Cascade Commissioning Procedure
11. Small adjustments can be made to the cone angles by adding or removing shims on the
‘A’ strop bracket.
12. Check that the head chute is hanging level. Adjust the level, add or remove counterbalance
weights to the front of the head chute if a pivoting chute is fitted. The ‘A’ strop bracket can
be adjusted with shims if required.
13. Check the operation of the material detection system. This can be carried out by simulating the
presence of material against each of the material detection probes. The chute should then raise
automatically by a maximum height of 200mm. If the raise height is greater than this, then it will
be necessary to make adjustments to the timer settings in the winch control circuit that controls
the duration of operation of the hoist motor. There should not be a delay between the material
detection probe operating and the operation of the hoist winch. The tilt switches, if fitted, can also
be simulated by tilting the body beyond 15º from the vertical position. There should be a delay
setting of approximately 0.5 seconds applied to the tilt switch controller to remove spurious trips
from the tilt switches.
14. The shut down operation of the material detection system should be checked by continuing to
operate the probe after the chute has automatically raised. The feed conveyor to the Cascade
Chute should stop within 3 to 5 seconds after the chute has risen if the probe remains activated.
15. The operation of the load cell overload system should be checked. This can be carried out by
the use of the test signal from the toggle switch and variable test pot SJB2. As the test signal is
increased operation of the programmed alarm points and stopping of the material feed conveyor
can be verified. A power failure check should be undertaken to make sure that this also stops
the material feed conveyor. Return the toggle switch to read the load cell when this is completed.
16. The operation of the resitain valve should be checked so that the conveyor start signal is healthy
when the valve doors are opened and the conveyor shuts down or fails to start when the valve is
closed.
17. The rotating trimming motor should be fully rotated in both directions to check that the
meshing gears run smoothly and the directions are correct. Also if electrical limit switches are
incorporated, their functionality should be verified.
Only after all of the above checks have been fully completed, should any tests loading material
be carried out.
18. Before any loading with material commences, the shroud should be disconnected from the
head chute if not already, so that it is possible to observe the material flow within the cones.
19. The initial loading trial should commence with a loading rate of less than 50% of the maximum
required rate. The chute should be extended so that it is positioned approximately 300mm above
the floor of the ship, with the skirt at the bottom of the chute in contact with the floor.
20. The conveyor system feeding the material should then be started and the material flow through
the cones should be observed.
Section 2
Cascade Commissioning Procedure
21. The rate should be increased in increments up to maximum capacity. At each stage, the level
to which material is building within each cone should be recorded together with the loading rate.
At maximum rate, the material should be building up within the cones to a level not exceeding
the top of the cone liner.
If the material is building up above the liner or it is not filling the cones to the correct level, the
system should be stopped and a new set of strops with a different cone angle fitted. If in doubt,
contact Cleveland Cascades Limited for advice. Additional strops are not always supplied.
At each stage of increased loading rate, observation should be made of any oscillation of the
cones. If violent oscillation of the cones is observed, then the system should not be operated at
that particular loading rate, as this would result in premature wear to the strops. If operation is
required at a loading rate where oscillation occurs, it will be necessary to fit a new set of strops
with a different cone angle. Should material spillage occur from the adjustable deflector in the
head chute, the angle of the deflector should be increased to stop the spillage.
22. The operation of the material detection system should be checked. As the material builds
beneath the chute, and the exit starts to block, the hoist winch should automatically raise the
chute. The height which the chute is raised should be a maximum of 200mm, with the skirts
always in contact with the pile of material already loaded. If this is not correct, the timer in the
control circuit for the winch should be adjusted accordingly. The probes should be positioned as
low as possible in the carrier but out of the material flow, adjustment of the probe height is by the
two M10 bolts on the probe bracket mounting. If the probes are mounted too high in the carrier it
is possible that the probe will not detect the material.
23. The overload system will require to be set up. The over load system is pre-set with a value below
the weight of a blocked chute. The recommended value is based on taking a measurement of the
chute when it is running at full rate and maximum extension.
The measurement that is taken will represent the maximum normal load that the chute should reach.
The setting that we recommend is 5% higher than this figure; a typical cone at normal running weight
would increase the weight by 300 – 400% when it is fully blocked. This method of setting the alarm
will give the earliest shut down of the conveyor feed without introducing nuisance trips.
To alter the load setting for the alarms 1 to 4: Pressing the alarm button momentarily will allow
you to view the current settings. Each press will illuminate in turn alarm AL1 to 4 annunciators.
To change alarm settings, keep the button held for 3 seconds, which will cause the value
to have one digit brighter than the others. This may be changed in value using the up /
down buttons, and the digits may be selected using the digit select push button.
The alarm action is determined by the first character H – high, L – low, o -off.
Each alarm has a hysteresis value with a HY prompt.
Note: No hysteresis values are set for chute applications..
When changes have been made to the settings press OK. The display will return to the KG reading.
24. The shroud should then be reconnected to the cowl, using the six connecting hooks. The chute should
then be extended and retracted, to ensure that the shroud collects neatly and that the hoist ropes pass
smoothly through all the rope guides attached to the connecting rings between each shroud section.
Observation of the Cascade Chute should be carried out during the first loading periods; changes
in loading rates or material density may affect the performance of the Cascade Chute. If there is a
change of material, re-check the Cascade Chute operation when this material is loaded.
Continued operation at low rates may increase the dust emission and will shorten cone liner wear.
Section 2
Cascade Commissioning Procedure
Use this check sheet (below) before putting the Cascade Chute into operation.
Section 2
Cascade Loading Instructions
These instructions are written on the understanding that all the installation work is complete,
and all functional tests have been undertaken by qualified personnel.
It is also on the understanding that the material being delivered is of the same specification as stated
in the questionnaire, and is being delivered at the specified rate in a consistent manner.
Before commencing operation of the chute for the first time, please ensure that all the checks listed
on the Pre-Operation Check List have been carried out. Thereafter, the Pre-Operation Check List
should be followed at a frequency set by the Operations Manager, but certainly no less frequently
than once per month.
Section 2
Cascade Loading Instructions
9. If during loading, the Cascade chute MDS system or Overload system (load cell for chute weight
monitoring) are tripped the cause will be a blockage of material either cause by a surge in feed –
excess material backfilled, or perhaps a physical blockage within the chute caused by a lump
or foreign body trapped inside the chute at some point.
In order to relieve this blockage and re start loading the fault condition must be cleared.
Firstly, attempt a small raise of the chute using the remote control or operator panel controls.
The chute should be lifted by around 200mm in order to create some clearance between the
chute and existing product pile or vessel base, this clearance will create free space for product
inside of the chute to flow out. Observation should be made at the base of the chute following
this raise to see if product leaves the chute. If product pours out from the chute then this process
should be repeated until no product pours from the chute, following the recommended method
detailed in the control philosophy of the Electrical specification. Once product has stopped
running from the chute, the chute can be assumed to be empty. The panel signals should be
checked to see if the fault condition / alarm has cleared, if this is the case loading can be re
started.
Note – similar to lifting the chute using its hoist to create free space, the loader can also be
slewed off the pile or shuttled forwards / backwards off the pile by approximately 200mm to
give the same effect.
Note – should these methods not clear the chute, i.e. no product runs from the chute when
free space below is created – then it must be assumed that there is a physical blockage holding
material within the chute. In this case the chute must be inspected in order to find and remove
the blockage before loading can continue. Lowering the shroud and extending the chute can
facilitate this.
Section 2
Cascade Maintenance Instructions
N.B. Some of the chute options may not be included on your chute.
If defects or damage are detected, the shiploader should not be put into operation.
It should only be put back into service when the defect has been eliminated.
Prior to each loading session, a visual inspection of the chute should be carried out:
1. Check the telescopic shroud section for wears or tears.
2. The outlet section should be hanging level on the three ropes and the ropes should show
no signs of wear.
3. Clean any adhering material that may be on the chute components.
4. The material detection probes must be cleared of material build-up to give
maximum sensitivity.
5. Check that the electrical cables are free from fraying and damage.
6. The rope and related equipment must be inspected at the beginning of each work period and
particularly following any incident, which could have damaged the rope or installation. The entire
length of the rope should be inspected on a 3 monthly basis. With particular attention paid to the
winch, sheave assemblies and terminations at both ends of the rope. Excessive wear, broken
wires, distortion and corrosion are the usual signs of deterioration. An authorised competent
person must examine the ropes in accordance with the appropriate regulation.
7. The strops will need regular inspection; the stitching on each loop and the main strop attachment
loop should be examined. Check for fraying in the main strop and attachment loop. Replace if
worn or damaged.
Carry out a function test of all control components before loading commences.

The maintenance periods listed are indicative. Ultimately, the Maintenance Manager will decide
on the required frequency based on the conditions and usage of the system.

Section 2
Cascade Cleaning Procedure
General
By its nature, the Cascade Chute has a large internal surface area which fine dust can stick to. Some
dusts will tend to accumulate but others may not. The main components of the Cascade system are
the head chute, Cascade, shroud and carrier and these are made as far as possible in such a way as
to reduce the potential for material to build up.
Cascade
The Cascade is designed around the need to maintain control of the material and the need to be
able to telescope the chute. The cones are made with as few material trapping surfaces as possible
but some materials will stick and the surfaces can only be inspected and cleaned when the cones
are extended.
Shroud
The shroud folds as it is gathered onto the carrier when retracting the chute. It is designed to be up to
one metre longer than strictly necessary and this extra length remains folded on the carrier when the
chute is fully extended to provide a good seal. Dust can adhere to the shroud and material, both dust
and grains, can gather in the folds. Any material gathered in the folds can only be cleaned by fully
extending the shroud and this would normally mean extending the chute to up to one metre beyond
the operating limit.
Carrier
The carrier is a conical steel construction with two or more hatches for access to the material
detection probes and an inset for safe location of junction boxes and positioning any slewing
equipment. Internal fittings are kept to a minimum.
Section 2
Cascade Cleaning Procedure
Cleaning Procedure
Head chute
Open the hatch at the conveyor delivery or inspection windows and brush down. There will be no
places for material to gather in the conveyor chute, trolley chute or luffing pivot part of the head chute
permanently fixed to the trolley.
The washing water will then enter the Cascade head chute and tend to be retained inside the cones
and be delivered through the carrier.
The area of the head chute at the cowl level, where the shroud attaches, can be cleaned by lowering
the shroud and washing. Where access is not possible because the chute is in an operating position
and not brought back to the maintenance station, a wash ring could be installed to blast water at
these areas.
Cascade
Each cone can only be cleaned down when it is suspended clear of its immediate neighbour cones.
The standard way of achieving this is to provide a platform at the top of the stack of cones and raise
the cones on their strops using a winch. As each cone passes the platform it can be cleaned down
using a brush, compressed air or water.
Where the Cascade can be fully extended with the shroud lowered, the cones can be cleaned down
if adequate access can be provided.
Shroud
To free all the loose particles held in the folds of the shroud the shroud must be fully extended. If it is
then washed and raised and lowered any particles which can fall off will fall off. To wash the shroud in
situ, a wash ring will need to be installed below the cowl and the carrier lowered to a level below the
normal operating limit to ensure that the shroud is fully extended. This could be done with the boom
fully luffed so that the Cascade is over the berth.
Carrier
The carrier will be part-cleaned by the shroud washing water and can be checked by opening the
access hatches or opening the Carrier Spill Doors. Further cleaning can be carried out by either
brushing, compressed air or water through the opened Carrier Spill Doors.
Section 2
Cascade Control Requirements
Use this information for guidance to the operation requirements for the control system that
will operate the Cascade Chute. If the Cascade Chute is supplied without the control panel
we recommend that this information is followed for correct operation of the Cascade Chute.
Do not hesitate to contact Cascade staff for further information if required.
The control circuit shown below is for the timer circuit for lifting the chute when the material reaches
the probe.
Although the Cascade Chute has two level probes, the probe relay signals are connected in series
so they work as one single level switch.
The level probes are mounted on opposite sides of the carrier section and monitor the material
on both sides at the base of the cone stack.
The chute receives a signal from the two level probes; the signal operates two timers (TMR1 & TMR2)
to give 2 different operations. The level probe detects the material as it rises up inside the carrier
section. The signal from the level probe opens a relay contact in the head of the probe and the signal
operates simultaneously the 2 timers TMR1 and TMR2.
TMR1 raises the Cascade Chute
TMR2 stops the material flow into the Cascade Chute
In the drawing on page 52, the connections 1 & 2 are the supply, the probe relay contacts 5 & 6 are in
series. The relay LR1 is energized from the probes when there is no material detected. When the
relay LR1 is energized the two contacts LR1-1&2 are open, when the material is detected by the
probe the contacts LR1-1&2 close and energises the timers.
Section 2
Cascade Control Requirements
Operation of TMR1
The timer relay TMR1 operation is connected into the part of the control circuit that operates
the winch. The winch control will raise and lower the chute. For the standard chute application
the timer TMR1 is connected to operate the winch raise relay C1.
The winch operation raises the chute at a speed of approximately 6 meters per minute; this would
give 100mm of lift for each second the timer relay is closed. From the instant the signal from the relay
in the head of the level probe energises the timer TMR1, the timer relay operates the winch to raise.
The timer will keep the relay contact closed for the duration set. As soon as the timer has completed
the sequence the winch will stop raising the chute.
For the chute to rise for a second time, the timer must have a falling signal from the previous probe
operation. The timer cannot raise the winch for any longer than the set time duration will allow.

Cascade Control Requirements
The contact from TMR2 is shown in the retaining line for the relay SIR. If the probe is covered for a
longer period of time (5 to 10 secs) the contact will open and de-energise the relay SIR. The main
function of the relay SIR is to monitor the healthy circuits form the stop circuits, overload system,
winch motor overload and the timer TMR2. If the Relay SIR de-energises the material feed to the
chute must be stopped.
We consider this to be the most suitable way of providing a fail-safe operation. The drawings are for
guidance only. The actual circuit diagram may differ for the drawing but it should contain the main
elements of the controls shown.

Cascade Control Requirements
Tilt Switches
For tilt switches supplied with a control unit to provide an intrinsically safe system,
the control unit has a built in timer to take out spurious trips. For other applications see below.
For other applications the tilt switches timer needs to be connected into the control circuit. A ‘True Off
Delay’ timer is required. This timer is used to take out spurious trips. For example, the tilt switch will
operate if it is swinging around on the bottom of a chain. The signal will be a constant pulse on and
off as it swings. The true off delay timer will ignore the spurious trips and react only to full tilt signal.

TILT SWITCH ON

RELAY OFF
Every time the tilt switch operates, the timer starts the timer sequence. Unless the tilt switch
gives a signal longer than the time set the output relay will not operate.
Although an On Delay timer would operate with this sequence, if the tilt switch has an opening
contact, it is not possible to connect an opening contact to an on delay timer unless it is a True
Off Delay with a constant supply.
Section 2
Cascade Fault Finding
Horizontal oscillation of chute Too low feed rate for cone inclination. Increase feed rate
or change strops to give reduced cone inclination.
Chute automatically lifts on start up Material build up around the probe. Check for build
up and clean.
Faulty switch operation. Check switch operation by
simulating material.
Chute fails to lift when blocked by Probe not correctly adjusted. Check sensitivity setting
pile of material inside probe and vertical position of probe.
Power supply failure to probe. Check power supply
connections at probe.
Failure of switched signal. Check electrical connections
and wiring to probe.
Winch runs on after stopping Brake not connected for fast action operation.
See wiring diagram.
Lining on brake worn. Inspect and adjust / replace

Section 2
Head Chute Flange Connection
Remove all items from the area of work to prevent any injury and barrier tape off your working
area to prevent any unauthorized person entering your work area.
Select the ideal lifting method for installation of the head chute connection flange. The selection
should be based on accessibility around the connection point, availability of the equipment and
overall weight of the lift. Common methods of lifting the head chutes to their connection flange
include cranes, forklift trucks and chain blocks. All equipment should be fit for the purpose and
should be accompanied by certified lifting accessories.
When installing the head chute difficulties may be encountered when trying to align bolt holes
between the two separate flanges. Two possible methods that can overcome the difficulties are
transferring the lift to chain blocks located close to the connection points or the use of larger slave
bolts. Remember to replace the slave bolts on completion with the specified nut and bolt.
With all connection points aligned, put all bolts into position. Apply the required grease to the bolt
covering the threads and also apply grease to the nut before fitting to the bolt.
The bolts should be tightened in a sequence to ensure a good seal. The sequences for tightening
the bolts are shown in the diagrams below.

Modular Explosion Proof Brakes
IECLine
2013 rev 0
INDEX
Thanks to this large experience, on 2005 we invented VIS, the modular ATEX brake system.
Our idea was based on the market demand of a easy solution to make a brake motor without modifica-
tion of the motors or extension of the certificates.
With more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing brakes, we defined a new oversized stand-
ard, able to guarantee a range of modular brakes designed for heavy duty.
More than 35 controls made in the production process make each VIS brake as a master piece.
All the components are tested 100%, all the working parameters controlled with functional tests made
on each brake.
The VIS brakes range is in continuous development in order to make the quality and performance
better and better.
For hoisting, travelling, positioning in Hazardous location the VIS brakes are the safe and reliable
solution.
What’s VIS?
The VIS Atex brake is an innovative modular flameproof spring applied disc brake unit.
The new concept is to apply an independent brake unit to a standard flanged explosion proof motor or to
a transmission unit. The flangess input and output follow both IEC or NEMA standards. The VIS brakes are
certified as independent components. It means that there are not coupling procedures in order to define
the certification.
Why VIS?
The VIS brake is available in B5 flange face to face version (IEC 63 to 280 ), NEMA standards (56 to 405)
and compact version for mounting in the rear part of a motor or to a transmission unit. This catalogue is
related to IEC Line.
Choosing the VIS brake, it’s very easy to make an explosion proof brake motor, reducing costs and
delivery time.
The performance of VIS brakes is particularly high and the strong structure makes them suitable for
very heavy duty and for every kind of application (hoisting, travelling, positioning...).
VIS brakes don’t need periodical maintenance such as adjustment of gap on work site.
The braking torque values are included between 5 to 2000 Nm (depending on frames) and the elec-
tromagnets fitted inside the VIS brakes can be AC three phase or DC for IEC and DC for NEMA.
The cost of a standard explosion proof motor plus the VIS brake is considerably lower than an
explosion proof brake motor and the delivery time and reliability are much better.

Technical data
General information
The spring-applied brake VIS is a single-disk brake with two friction surfaces.
The compression springs create the braking torque by friction locking. The brake is released electromag-
netically.
The spring-applied brake is designed for the conversion of mechanical work and kinetic energy in heating.
For operation characteristics see related paragraph.
The manual release is an option available, it gives the possibility to release the brake in absence of current.
It is a mechanical lever mounted on 2 fulcrums points moving the mobile anchor.

The VIS brakes can be equipped with a microswitch for air-gap or wear monitoring or for hand relase
opening monitoring. The user must provide the corresponding electrical connection.
Thermistors
All the VIS brakes are equipped with a PTO thermal protection with temperature limit related to the
temperature class of the brake required. It must always be connected when operating in order to prevent
extra heating in hazardous areas.
In alternative, we can apply a PTC thermistor to have a constant monitoring of the brake temperature
through an exthernal PLC.

Technical data
Loads
IEC VIS brakes line is designed to be mounted in front of a flanged motor; the bearing used in the input
shaft has the only function to support the coupling between the motor and brake sahfts and cannot be
subjected to additional axial or radial loads. The output shaft admissible radial loads of IEC VIS brakes line
are described in the following tab.
Braking time
VIS brakes are suitable for application with disk sliding of the disk of 0,5 seconds maximum.
In case of longer time of sliding of the disk calculation, please contact us.
You can use the following formula in order to define the braking time:
Jtot: inertia moment at the motor shaft (Kgm2)
J tot x n tx
n: speed r.p.m.
+ Mf: braking moment (Nm)
± Mload) tx: brake time response (ms)
9.55 (Mf 1000
Mload: resistent moment to the load applied (Nm), positive or
negative depending on concordance with braking moment.
Note: for calculation of sliding time of the disc, consider the “tx” value at “0” .
Brake choice
AC or DC?
When you choose a VIS brake, it is important to define which version is better suitable for your applica-
tion and/or for your electrical equipment.
The 3 phase version is very quick both in engagement and braking times, so it is suggested for applica-
tion where there are high number of cycles per hour.
Since this brake is very quick it also creates more impact vibration in starting and braking operation compared
to DC.
The 3 phase brake is suitable to be connected direct on line with the same voltage of the motor you have
and without rectifier and it is available with voltages from VAC24 up to VAC690 Hz 50 or 60.
The DC version has a smooth perfromance, but can also be quick using a special rectifier for fast
braking connection cutting the DC current.
It is available from 24 to 300 VDC with rectifier.

Brake choice
Dimensioning
The size of the brake is mainly determined by the braking torque and the relevant inertia of the load,
braking time, speed, number of starts per hour.
The calculation of the brakes is generally related to the permissible friction energy. Since the VIS is an
explosion proof unit, we simply defined a limit related to the maximum parmissible sliding time of the
disc in dynamic application (see page 6 for more details).
This solution gives a simple parameter to choose the brake in a correct, easy and safe way.
If the brake is used as parking brake (coupled with a motor used with inverter), the calculation is not
relevant except the value of brake torque necessary; we suggest always to consider a brake torque
between 1,5 and 2,3 times the motor torque.
For further information or exact brake calculation choice, please contact us.
Versions
- IEC dimension for front mounting on B5 motor and output B5 or B14 or reduced B5
- NEMA dimension for front mounting on nema motor (for dimensions please contact us)
- Closed version for mounting in the rear side of a motor prepared for it.
Except theese configurations, we can manufacture customized versions with output flanges and shafts
made on specific request.
Voltages
AC 3ph Brakes
The AC 3ph brakes work in star/delta configuration like a common 3ph motor - the standard voltage is 230/
400 V 50Hz.
We can produce any AC voltage, 50 or 60 Hz with maximum 600V. The voltage tolerance on the nominal
one is +/- 5% on standard brakes. Different tolerance can be supplied on request.
DC Brakes
The DC brakes are supplied as standard rectifier inside the terminal box in order to supply the brake with
2x AC phases. The standard voltage is DC 195 with 400 VAC to the rectifier. We can produce different
voltages on request with a maximum of 300VDC coil.
DC brakes are stard supplied with WR2008 half wave rectifier providing fast engagement and braking
times.

The wire ropes from the winch unit are attached to the carrier frame, the cascade cones are
attached to the head-chute section via three strops and are not physically attached to the
ropes or carrier section. If the chute is retracted from the fully extended position then the
cones are collected by the carrier section as it travels up, the cones sit one within the other,
supported by their rims.
The winch limit switch (CC-RC1) is a geared cam switch that is coupled to the winch output
shaft. The two cam switches are set independently during commissioning to indicate the
fully retracted / extended positions of the chute. The switches are wired normally closed.
When the chute is fully retracted, the switch designated as the high limit will be opened by
the corresponding cam. The control system should be configured so that an open high limit
contact will prevent the winch-up contactor from energising. When the chute is fully
extended, the switch designated as the low limit will be opened by the corresponding cam.
The control system should be configured so that an open low limit will prevent the winch-
down contactor from energising.
The ultimate high limit switch (CC-UH1) is a lever arm position switch mounted on a bracket
located underneath the head-chute section. It is mounted so that there is a small clearance
between the lever arm and the top cone when the chute is in its fully retracted position. This
clearance is normally set to approximately 50mm during the commissioning stage, note that
the lever arm is adjusted to suit individual chutes and that if a replacement switch is fitted
then this lever arm will need to be adjusted to maintain the correct setting. The switch is
wired normally closed and acts as a back up to the winch high limit. Material can build up on
the cone rims overtime which increases the height of the cone stack. This increase in height
will not be detected by the winch limit switch and, if the chute is not cleaned regularly, the
cones are at risk of colliding with the head-chute. If the height of the cone stack increases
more than the clearance gap that has been set, the rim of the top cone will operate the lever
arm and open the switch contacts. The control system should be configured so that an open
ultimate high limit contact will prevent the winch-up contactor from energising. An open
ultimate high contact should also give an indication that the chute should be cleaned. It is
recommended by CCL that the operation of the ultimate high limit switch should be viewed
as a fault by the control system as it is regarded as a back-up limit which should not be
operated under normal conditions.
The slack rope limit switch (CC-SR1) is a top roller plunger position switch. It is mounted on
the rope sheave and is operated by a pivoting arm connected to a spring.
The switch is wired normally open. When there is adequate tension on the winch ropes,
there will also be tension on the spring and the pivoting arm will be holding the roller
plunger down, closing the switch contacts. If tension in the winch ropes is lost, the spring
returns to its original length, lifting the pivoting arm and the slack rope limit switch contacts
will open. The control system should be configured so that an open slack rope contact will
prevent the winch-down contactor from energising. When there are multiple slack rope
switches, they are wired in series.

The collision detection limit switches (CC-TILT1 / CC-TILT2) are tilt switches that are attached
to supporting chain and hang vertically from the carrier section. They are wired normally
closed in series. The tilt switches should operate if they come into contact with the bottom
of the loading vessel or the skirt fitted to the carrier section. The control system should be
configured so that when the tilt switch contact is open the winch-down contactor will be
prevented from energising. It is recommended by CCL that the tilt switches operate on a one
second delay to filter out false signals when the tilt switches are moving in the air.
The material detection limit switch (CC-MDS1 / CC-MDS2) is a rotary paddle switch mounted
on an adjustable bracket inside the carrier section. The paddle is wired normally closed.
During loading, the material will pile up and come into contact with the paddle and the relay
contact will open. The control system should be configured so that when the relay contact
opens, the winch-up contactor is energised for a short period of time to lift the carrier out of
the material whilst allowing the skirt to remain in contact with the pile. It is recommended
by CCL to configure the control system so that the auto-raise time period can be easily
adjusted to aid the commissioning process. If the paddle remains in contact with the
material for more than five seconds, the control system should assume the chute is blocked
and remove the material feed to the chute. This condition should indicate a blocked chute
fault and restrict up travel to two second bursts with a delay in between to allow the
operator to try and loosen the blockage. Allowing the chute to be moved up continuously
with a blockage increases the chances of a motor overload and damage to the chute. The
control system should be configured so that the blocked chute timer can be easily adjusted
to aid the commissioning process.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There are delays built into the switching mechanism for the paddle
switches. There is a 1 second delay between the paddle stopping and the switch contacts
opening. There is a 3 second delay between the paddle resuming rotation and the switch
contacts closing.
These delays will need to be considered when setting the auto-raise and blocked chute
timers.

If there is a fault on the chute, the material feed to the chute must be stopped. All faults
must stop the winch operating apart from the following exceptions:
- Ultimate High Limit: Should be able to travel down until ultimate high contact closes.
- Blocked Chute: Should be able to travel up in 2 second bursts with a 2 second delay
in between.
-
The control system should be able to detect the following faults:
- Phase Failure
- Ultimate High Limit
- Winch Thermistors
- Winch Overload
- Blocked Chute
- Overload Alarms (high and low)
- E-stop Pressed (E-stop push button is not supplied by CCL)
The above list is a recommendation by CCL and is not exhaustive. More conditions can be

The switch and black pot within the overload unit control cabinet are there to perform a
trigger point check on the alarm value that is set, with the switch activated the black pot can
be rotated, this will alter the displayed value, to increase the value turn clockwise and anti-
clockwise to decrease the value, the pot is turned until the alarm trigger point is reached,
the alarm relay should then change state.
We send the display instrument out with the alarm value pre-set to our best estimate based
on modelled components. The alarm value figure should be checked during hot
commissioning, this is when the chute is fully extended and the correct amount of material is
flowing through it. You should note the indicated value during hot commissioning, take 5%
of this value and add this to the indicated value noted. This calculated result should be
checked with the pre-set alarm value we set, if different then you should enter your
calculated value as the alarm value.
To check and change the pre-set alarm value, press OK button successively until the AL2 LED
on the side of the instrument illuminates, the pre-set alarm value will be displayed, press
and hold the OK button until SET.Pnt is displayed then release the OK button, you can now
edit the value, the right most digit will be brighter than the others this indicates that this
digit can be increased or decreased by the arrow buttons, to move to the next digit press the
digit button and the next digit will illuminate brightly again this digit can be increased or
decreased, continue in this way until you have entered your calculated value, then press the
OK button.
To test that the new alarm trigger value has been accepted, press and hold the silver switch
and rotate the black pot until the display exceeds the new alarm value, the alarm relay
should change state.
Normally we would use a load cell, suitable for the calculated load the chute will encounter,
mounted to the head chute assembly and the ‘A’ strop. The cell is electrically connected to a
process meter with relay outputs, these are set to activate when preset load values are
reached. The overload value is initially set at 5% above the calculated dynamic load with the
chute fully extended, this value can be changed during commissioning to account for
differences in the calculated dynamic load value (based on ideal cone models) and the
measured value. This means of overload detection has its limitations, since the dynamic load
changes as the chute retracts, however the overload value is set at the worst case position,
so the designed load limit of the boom will never be reached before an overload alarm is
triggered.

The T95 range comprises of a stainless steel load cell complete with tough, painted mounting assembly.
Although the assembly is used in compression, the cell is mounted in a pendulum and operated in tension. This
ensures that the load point is always maintained through the central axis of the cell, even when the assembly is
subjected to considerable movement or misalignment.
The T95 is most suitable for high accuracy applications where movement or vibration is present, eg mixers,
catalyst vessels, weighing platforms, axle weighers and vehicle weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems. The T95 load
cell is also available with ATEX intrinsically safe certification for all gas and dust zones.
For applications in aggressive environments where stress corrosion or acid attack is an issue, a special parylene
coating can be specified as an option. High temperature variants for operation up to 150°C are also available.
■ Stainless steel load sensor ■ Tough and durable paint finish with
Stainless Steel option
■ Fully welded construction sealed to IP68/IP69K
■ 5 year warranty
■ Ease of installation
■ Integral lift off prevention
■ Load cell is always in tension
■ Ideal in vibrating applications
■ OIML C3 approved
■ Unique damping feature

INDEX
Thanks to this large experience, on 2005 we invented VIS, the modular ATEX brake system.
Our idea was based on the market demand of a easy solution to make a brake motor without modifica-
tion of the motors or extension of the certificates.
With more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing brakes, we defined a new oversized stand-
ard, able to guarantee a range of modular brakes designed for heavy duty.
More than 35 controls made in the production process make each VIS brake as a master piece.
All the components are tested 100%, all the working parameters controlled with functional tests made
on each brake.
The VIS brakes range is in continuous development in order to make the quality and performance
better and better.
For hoisting, travelling, positioning in Hazardous location the VIS brakes are the safe and reliable
solution.
What’s VIS?
The VIS Atex brake is an innovative modular flameproof spring applied disc brake unit.
The new concept is to apply an independent brake unit to a standard flanged explosion proof motor or to
a transmission unit. The flangess input and output follow both IEC or NEMA standards. The VIS brakes are
certified as independent components. It means that there are not coupling procedures in order to define
the certification.
Why VIS?
The VIS brake is available in B5 flange face to face version (IEC 63 to 280 ), NEMA standards (56 to 405)
and compact version for mounting in the rear part of a motor or to a transmission unit. This catalogue is
related to IEC Line.
Choosing the VIS brake, it’s very easy to make an explosion proof brake motor, reducing costs and
delivery time.
The performance of VIS brakes is particularly high and the strong structure makes them suitable for
very heavy duty and for every kind of application (hoisting, travelling, positioning...).
VIS brakes don’t need periodical maintenance such as adjustment of gap on work site.
The braking torque values are included between 5 to 2000 Nm (depending on frames) and the elec-
tromagnets fitted inside the VIS brakes can be AC three phase or DC for IEC and DC for NEMA.
The cost of a standard explosion proof motor plus the VIS brake is considerably lower than an
explosion proof brake motor and the delivery time and reliability are much better.

Technical data
General information
The spring-applied brake VIS is a single-disk brake with two friction surfaces.
The compression springs create the braking torque by friction locking. The brake is released electromag-
netically.
The spring-applied brake is designed for the conversion of mechanical work and kinetic energy in heating.
For operation characteristics see related paragraph.
The manual release is an option available, it gives the possibility to release the brake in absence of current.
It is a mechanical lever mounted on 2 fulcrums points moving the mobile anchor.
Microswitch
The VIS brakes can be equipped with a microswitch for air-gap or wear monitoring or for hand relase
opening monitoring. The user must provide the corresponding electrical connection.
Thermistors
All the VIS brakes are equipped with a PTO thermal protection with temperature limit related to the
temperature class of the brake required. It must always be connected when operating in order to prevent
extra heating in hazardous areas.
In alternative, we can apply a PTC thermistor to have a constant monitoring of the brake temperature
through an exthernal PLC.

Technical data
Loads
IEC VIS brakes line is designed to be mounted in front of a flanged motor; the bearing used in the input
shaft has the only function to support the coupling between the motor and brake sahfts and cannot be
subjected to additional axial or radial loads. The output shaft admissible radial loads of IEC VIS brakes line
are described in the following tab.
Braking time
VIS brakes are suitable for application with disk sliding of the disk of 0,5 seconds maximum.
In case of longer time of sliding of the disk calculation, please contact us.
You can use the following formula in order to define the braking time:
Jtot: inertia moment at the motor shaft (Kgm2)
J tot x n tx
n: speed r.p.m.
+ Mf: braking moment (Nm)
± Mload) tx: brake time response (ms)
9.55 (Mf 1000
Mload: resistent moment to the load applied (Nm), positive or
negative depending on concordance with braking moment.
Note: for calculation of sliding time of the disc, consider the “tx” value at “0” .
Brake choice
AC or DC?
When you choose a VIS brake, it is important to define which version is better suitable for your applica-
tion and/or for your electrical equipment.
The 3 phase version is very quick both in engagement and braking times, so it is suggested for applica-
tion where there are high number of cycles per hour.
Since this brake is very quick it also creates more impact vibration in starting and braking operation compared
to DC.
The 3 phase brake is suitable to be connected direct on line with the same voltage of the motor you have
and without rectifier and it is available with voltages from VAC24 up to VAC690 Hz 50 or 60.
The DC version has a smooth perfromance, but can also be quick using a special rectifier for fast
braking connection cutting the DC current.
It is available from 24 to 300 VDC with rectifier.

Brake choice
Dimensioning
The size of the brake is mainly determined by the braking torque and the relevant inertia of the load,
braking time, speed, number of starts per hour.
The calculation of the brakes is generally related to the permissible friction energy. Since the VIS is an
explosion proof unit, we simply defined a limit related to the maximum parmissible sliding time of the
disc in dynamic application (see page 6 for more details).
This solution gives a simple parameter to choose the brake in a correct, easy and safe way.
If the brake is used as parking brake (coupled with a motor used with inverter), the calculation is not
relevant except the value of brake torque necessary; we suggest always to consider a brake torque
between 1,5 and 2,3 times the motor torque.
For further information or exact brake calculation choice, please contact us.
Versions
- IEC dimension for front mounting on B5 motor and output B5 or B14 or reduced B5
- NEMA dimension for front mounting on nema motor (for dimensions please contact us)
- Closed version for mounting in the rear side of a motor prepared for it.
Except theese configurations, we can manufacture customized versions with output flanges and shafts
made on specific request.
Voltages
AC 3ph Brakes
The AC 3ph brakes work in star/delta configuration like a common 3ph motor - the standard voltage is 230/
400 V 50Hz.
We can produce any AC voltage, 50 or 60 Hz with maximum 600V. The voltage tolerance on the nominal
one is +/- 5% on standard brakes. Different tolerance can be supplied on request.
DC Brakes
The DC brakes are supplied as standard rectifier inside the terminal box in order to supply the brake with
2x AC phases. The standard voltage is DC 195 with 400 VAC to the rectifier. We can produce different
voltages on request with a maximum of 300VDC coil.
DC brakes are stard supplied with WR2008 half wave rectifier providing fast engagement and braking
times.
