2 FH 5442GB/0948 Operating Instructions MULTICOR® S40 , S80

Design and Operating Principle 1.4 Inspection and Maintenance Doors
2 Design and Operating Principle

This description is valid for MULTICOR systems of the following types:
S40 = up to 40m3/h
S80 = up to 80m3/h
The two variants differ only by size.
The type code of the system is shown on type plate and in order-specific TECHNICAL
DATA.
The system measures the CORIOLIS force of the material flowing through the device.
Applied through the measuring motor torque, the CORIOLIS force drives the measuring
rotor. The CORIOLIS force is proportional to the flow rate in kg/h.
To apply the CORIOLIS force to a load cell, measuring motor, driveline and measuring
rotor form a rotably-mounted low-friction unit.
A flexible connector protects the measuring rotor shaft from dirt and decouples the
measuring device from its housing.
A speed transducer measures the motor speed. To do so, an inductive proximity switch
with pole wheel generates a pulse frequency corresponding to the motor speed in form
of a “NAMUR” signal.
When determining actual flow rate, the weighing electronics microprocessor considers
any change in pulse frequency.

3.1 Device Housing Principal Components
3 Principal Components
3.1 Device Housing
Device housing consists of inner and outer housing the material flows through.
Housing cover supports measuring system and inlet pipe.
Outer housing is equipped with four fastening straps used to mount device on steel or
concrete platforms.
Discharge hopper is attached to outer housing using clamping rings and seal, but can be
removed.
Contact parts of inner and outer housing, housing cover with inlet pipe and discharge
hopper are made of stainless steel.
A threaded bolt at the flange of the inner housing discharges static electricity to the outer
housing and should be connected to the central ground bus.

Principal Components 3.2 Measuring System
3.2 Measuring System

Using lever arm L, the load cell measures reactive force F of measuring motor generating
this reactive force as a CORIOLIS force through its torque. The measuring wheel rotates
in sense of rotation n.
Frame with measuring motor, drive assembly and measuring rotor are rotably mounted
with low friction in an upper measuring bearing.
A highly flexible connector protects the measuring system from dust.

A tension spring produces a low tare preload on load cell.
Two lateral limit stops limit the swivelling range of the frame and protect the load cell
from overload and release of kinetic pulses.
The removable back panel offers access to the measuring motor.
A protective cover helps to avoid damage to measuring components and faulty
measurement caused by sudden touching.

3.3 Measuring Rotor Drive, Type S40 Principal Components
3.3 Measuring Rotor Drive, Type S40
The measuring motor drives the measuring rotor shaft via a coupling.
The motor cable must be highly flexible and run in a defined loop, without contact to
stationary components.
The complete drive assembly is an integral part of the measuring system’s swivel frame.
A flexible connector protects the stationary outer housing from dirt and leak air infiltrated
from the rotable drive assembly.
Two radial shaft sealing rings protect the lower measuring rotor bearing from the ingress
of material and escaping lubricant.
A special sealing ring protects the lower measuring bearing.
The speed transducer supplies a particular number of pulses per measuring motor
revolution. The proximity switch is located in coupling housing.
For the number of pulses, see TECHNICAL DATA of MULTICOR.

Principal Components 3.4 Measuring Rotor Drive, Type S80
3.4 Measuring Rotor Drive, Type S80

Principal Components 3.5 Measuring Rotor
3.5 Measuring Rotor

Measuring rotor geometry, shape and the number of vanes has been determined
experimentally. For abrasive material, the measuring rotors are equipped with
wear-resistant lagging. Each measuring rotor has been balanced dynamically.
With MULTICOR S40, measuring rotor rotates at measuring motor speed.

With MULTICOR S80, measuring rotor rotates at measuring motor speed reduced by the
downturn ratio.
Measuring rotor is attached to measuring shaft so that rotor can easily be removed for
replacement or inspection. See item 5.2.1 “Checking Measuring Rotor”.

3.6 Transit Restraint Principal Components
3.6 Transit Restraint

ATTENTION:
Always transport device with securing angle screwed down.
Screw down securing angle with frame beam being pressed against limit stop in direction
of travel so as to ensure sufficient air gap.
To protect load cell and bearings of measuring system, the transit restraint cannot be
dispensed with; cf. transit instructions given in INSTALLATION MANUAL
FH 5443.
Remove securing angle right before commissioning. Turn angle by 180°C and bolt it to
the measuring board to have it available for later use.

Interferential Forces Affecting Measuring 3.7 Wiring
3.7 Wiring
The generic circuit diagram shows how consumers are linked in cable junction boxes.
Observe order-specific circuit diagrams when performing work on the electrical system.
4 Interferential Forces Affecting Measuring

Accuracy
4.1 Platform Vibrations and Displacement
– Acceleration forces in the amount of < 0.1 g of any frequency resulting from platform
vibrations do not affect measuring accuracy.
– Platform displacement can produce temporary distortion and/or inclination.
Distortions transfered via device inlet have the potential to adversely affect
measuring accuracy.
The presence of interferential forces during operation can be identified by by watching

system behaviour:
– Bin levels, wind influence on bin, one-sided exposure to sunlight, etc.
– Changing load, e.g. caused by walking on platform.
If your observation does not suggest any clear solution, check by calculation whether the
building influences still correspond to the values specified in INSTALLATION MANUAL
FH 5443.
Any further action should be discussed with Schenck Process.

4.2 Air Flow and Pressure Variations in Interferential Forces Affecting Measuring
4.2 Air Flow and Pressure Variations in

Measuring System
Air flowing through device in place of feed material simulates a flow rate as a measuring
result.
· Make sure the handling routes between silo and measuring device are closed and
tight.
· Avoid air pressure variations from ambient atmosphere below the device in the down
spouts towards the downstream process.
4.3 Measuring Rotor Build-ups and Wear

Material build-ups on measuring rotor do not falsify measurement as long as they do not
increase and cause material particles to lift off measuring rotor vanes.
Avoid increasing and uneven thickness of build-ups. If such build-ups manifest
themselves in housing cone, appropriate lining might solve the problem.
Build-ups may be caused by:
· adhesive substances in material and/or
· increased moisture.
Abrasive material has to potential to wear off measuring rotor vanes and bottom. When
feeding abrasive materials, use a wear-resistant lining on measuring rotor (option).
· Check measuring rotor for wear. Make sure vanes are 2mm thick overall.
· Wear normally occurs first on outer diameter and can thus be checked easily with the
use of a measuring gauge.
· During commissioning and upon any system shutdown, check measuring rotor for
the presence of the above incidents.
· If the above incidents cannot be excluded, regularly check measuring rotor also
during operation.
SAFETY HINT
Before opening your device, disconnect, lock out power, and wait for standstill.
4.4 Pulsating Material Flow

Pulsating material flow into measuring rotor produces a load cell signal associated with
vibrations, thus being less accurate.
– Starfeeders should be designed with overlapping vanes.
– Feed screws should be equipped with a feed star at discharge point and operate at a
high speed.

Maintenance 5.1 Maintenance Details
5 Maintenance
GENERAL SAFETY HINTS
o Before opening device, check to see that
- measuring system is disconnected and power locked out
- measuring motor has come to standstill
o no object has dropped into device.
o Immediately remove dropped objects. There is risk of consequential damage.
5.1 Maintenance Details

Regularly check device for abnormal noise.
NOTE: Never touch measuring system / measuring motor during operation.

This would produce errors in measurement.
· Check measuring rotor and inlet cone for material build-ups.

· Check measuring rotor for wear if the material is liable to cause such effect.
· Use the type of lubricant specified in Lubricating Instructions F 014 549 / 01.

Maintenance 5.2 Inspection and Maintenance
5.2.1 Removing / Installing Measuring Rotor

· Remove measuring rotor if build-ups and wear cannot be reliably excluded.
· Before removing measuring rotor, dismount discharge hopper as described below.
ATTENTION
Retain measuring rotor to protect it from dropping.
Measuring rotor weights: type S40 = apr. 10 kg / type S80 = apr. 13 kg
To remove:
1 Loosen the 4 anti-fatigue bolts (1) as depicted below (do not turn out).
2 Remove bolt (2). Measuring rotor detaches from coupling disk.
3 Retain measuring motor shaft (S40) to protect it from turning, e.g. grasp fan wheel.
Lift measuring rotor and turn it by 90° in clockwise or counterclockwise direction so
that the flattened hole in measuring rotor bottom is flush with flattened measuring
rotor shaft.
· Remove build-ups from measuring rotor and turn to SCHENCK if material properties
cannot be changed so that build-ups will be durably avoided.
· Install wear-resistant measuring rotor. If you feel the life of your rotor is too short,
turn to SCHENCK.

To install:
1 Lift measuring rotor under measuring rotor shaft so that the flattened hole in
measuring rotor bottom is almost flush with flattened measuring rotor shaft.
2 Center measuring rotor on coupling disk during lifting.
3 Push measuring rotor onto flattened measuring rotor shaft to stop. If necessary, turn
measuring rotor of shaft into proper position.
4 Turn measuring rotor against shaft by 90° in clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

Shaft collar retains measuring motor and protects it from dropping.
5 Screw the 4 anti-fatigue bolts into coupling disk and tighten to 15 Nm torque in steps.
6 Turn in and tighten bolt (6).

5.2.2 Checking MULTICOR S80 Gearbox

Gearbox is lubricated for life with
the use of high-quality synthetic
grease.
Gearbox damage is suggested by:

– Abnormal noise (rough or
knocking)
– Gearbox temperature = >80°C,
– Lubricant escape
· Check for the above incidents
during operation. If gearbox is
in perfect condition, it
produces a continuous
“humming” noise.
· Check MULTICOR zero point.
Bigger deviations over several
measure- ments suggest
excessive play between driving
and driven gear shaft.
When you note gearbox damage,

replace unit. Repair is too costly.
· Remove measuring device
back panel in a clean
environment, and measuring
motor and gearbox can be
dismounted as depicted above.
To install:
– Position gearbox-sided coupling half so that 1.5 - 2 mm space is given between claw
faces.
– When attaching motor to gearbox, observe gearbox manufacturer’s specifications
(see attachments).
Required tools:
– Torque spanner
– Hex socket jaw, long; for spanner width, see attachments.
5.2.3 Checking Measuring Motor Bearings

· Observe motor manufacturer’s specifications.

5.2.4 Checking Measuring Shaft Seals and Bearings

Shaft seals and bearings
of the two MULTICOR
variants are of similar
design.
The figure depicts the

S40 variant.
The life of the measuring
rotor shaft needle and
ball bearings widely
depends on the
tightness of shaft seals
and flexible connector.
Always protect needle

bearing from damage. If
running surface is
damaged, replace
measuring rotor shaft.
To prevent damage from
occurring, preventively
replace shaft sealing
rings and fill fresh
grease into needle
bearing in specified
intervals (after a certain
number of operating
hours). See also
Lubricating Instructions
F014549.
To remove driveline:
– Before installation, mount load cell transit restraint as described at Item 3.7.
– Remove measuring rotor as described at Item 5.2.1.
– Disconnect drive motor and unscrew speed transducer.
– With S40, remove measuring motor; with S80, complete geared motor assembly.
If you detach motor from gearbox S80, reassemble same in accordance with
manufacturer’s specification.
– If there is enough space, remove weighing section complete with driveline and
dismantle unit in a clean workplace.
To do so, remove the 3 nuts (M10) from weighing section base plate and pull out
weighing section with driveline from above.
– Place complete unit on two supports.
– Remove band clamps from flexible connector.
– Remove the four flanged screws and extract lower bearing tube from below.
– Remove fixing screws on motor, or gearbox, mounting plate and extract inner bearing
tube from below.

To check measuring bearing (outer bearing tube):
· Always replace special sealing ring after dismounting.

· Check to see that measuring bearing is totally clean and running surface on inner
bearing tube is free from grooves.
· Grease measuring bearing as described in Lubricating Instructions F 014549/01.
To check measuring rotor shaft (inner bearing tube);
· Turn shaft by hand and check for smooth run. The relatively high force to be applied
is due to the special shaft sealing rings.
In case of doubt, dismantle bearing tube and replace bearing and shaft sealing rings.
· Always use the genuine Schenck spare parts (special design).
· To remove measuring rotor shaft, extract coupling half (with S40 using the two M5
bolts).
· Remove bearing hole snap ring on coupling side and drive out shaft with upper
bearing from above. Since mounting forces are applied via the grooved ball bearing,
replace the latter.
· Ball bearing running surface may be bright, but must be free from grooves.
· Always replace shaft seals and apply fresh grease after dismounting.
To mount driveline:
Reverse the removal procedure. Observe the following:

· Fill ball bearing and gap between ball bearing and shaft sealing ring with grease as
described in Lubricating Instructions F 014549.
· Fill the gap between the two shaft sealing rings with grease to 2/3.
· The two shaft sealing rings are very liable to damage. For mounting, use protective
tube or tape.
· Do not apply mounting forces to shaft and coupling via anti-friction elements. Use
mounting sleeves, or support shaft.
· Lubricate measuring bearing using the oil type specified in Lubricating Instructions
F 014549.
· Do not apply special sealing ring before mounting of weighing section and driveline is
complete. Insert ring from below, check for twist folds and ensure dimension 25 ±1
with S40 (s. Item 3.4), or 44±1 with S80 (s. Item 3.5).
· Set motor-sided coupling half as follows: ensure 1.5-2mm axial space between
coupling claw faces. Check using depth gauge. If need be, shift motor-sided coupling
half.
· When detaching S80 motor from gearbox, reassemble motor as described in
gearbox manufacturer’s specification (see attachments).

5.2.5 Checking Upper Measuring Bearing

· Replace flexible connector when
noting any damage, hardening or
embrittlement due to ageing.
· Replace dirty measuring bearings
with inner ring Washing out does not
ensure free rotation.
· Remove outer frame beam bolts, for
frame to come down, so that frame
beam with measuring bearing can be
pulled off support bracket bearing
journal.
· Lightly apply specified lubricant (see
Lubricating Instructions F 014 549) to
all measuring bearing surfaces in a
dust-free environment. Use set screw and lock nut to provide for dimension
80±0.5mm.
5.2.6 Checking Flexible Connector

· When noting any damage, hardening or embrittlement due to ageing, replace flexible
connector.
· To do so, remove the measuring rotor shaft as described above or remove complete
measuring system. Remove the 4
fixing bolts and pull off outer
housing.
· Install new flexible connector and
mount measuring rotor shaft.
ATTENTION:
Insert the flexible connector so that it
is free from tension, flexing and
bending. Tighten band clamp screws.

5.2.7 Checking Flanged Connections for Tightness

Feed material or dust-containing particles must not be allowed to escape. Keep
workplace clean in order to maintain your MULTICOR at peak accuracy.
Ensure that flanged and pipe connections are tight (observe inspection intervals).
· Check bolts at each tight flanged connection for tight fit.
· Remove leak flanged connections. Eliminate cause of trouble by
– replacing seals and/or
– aligning and/or deburring flange and/or
– aligning or levelling flange planes.
5.2.8 Checking Overload Limit Stop

Check for dimension “x” :
– Push support in direction of load until stud contacts load cell.
– Reference dimension “x” S40x: x = 0.7 mm S80:xx = 0.85 mm
Make sure this dimension is given on either side of the weighing section.
For adjustment, use depicted set screws.

5.2.9 Checking Device Outlet For Tightness

Made of food grade silicone, the flexible connector also compensates diameter
tolerances of flanged connections. This ensures a high degree of tightness. Remove
clamping ring connection to detach device outlet.
· Check band clamps for tight fit.

· When noting damage, hardening or embrittlement due to ageing, replace flexible
