is used to filter the unqualified coarse
aggregate to ensure the normal operation
of equipment. Arc storing hopper door is
used for batching of weighing hopper. It
is effective to prevent jam via adjustment
of the clearance between the hopper and
the hopper door. The compressed air,
supplied to both ends of cylinder piston
of the actuator via the solenoid valve,
operates the cylinder piston to open/close
the hopper door to deliver the aggregate.
Considering the viscosity of aggregate,
the vibrator works when the hopper door
is open to ensure the aggregate discharge
smoothly.

3.3.1 Aggregate weighing

Aggregate weighing is part of aggregate


storage. There are two weighing methods
available: accumulative weighing and
individual weighing.
Accumulative weighing device is adopted
in the steel structure aggregate storage as
shown in Fig. 3-11 on page 3-15.
When all the aggregate measurements
are completed, the level belt conveyor as
shown in Fig. 3-1 on page 3-6 is started
to deliver the aggregate into the inclined
belt conveyor. Level belt conveyor of the
accumulative weighing device is function
as the aggregate weighing hopper.
Therefore, it is called belt weigher (for
detailed information, see: “3.4.1 Level
belt conveyor” on page 3-25). When
the concrete batching plant is producing
continuously, level belt conveyor with belt
weigher structure is working intermittently.
It will save power consumption. The
discharge height of the level belt conveyor
is increased. This will reduce the height
of the slope of the loading truck on the
aggregate storage or the depth of the base
pit of the aggregate storage.

Individual weighing device is adopted in


the underground aggregate storage as
shown in Fig. 3-10 on page 3-14.

As shown in Fig. 3-18, the hopper door (2)


is closed before measuring and both hopper 1
2
doors are opened when the measurement
3
begins. When the weight of the aggregate 4
reaches the specified value, one hopper
door is closed to measure the aggregate
accurately. When the weight of aggregate
reaches the specified value, both hopper Fig. 3-17 Aggregate storage hopper
doors are closed and the weighing is 1-Pneumatic cylinder 2- Hopper door
completed. When the measuring hopper 3- Aggregate storage bin 4- Weighing sensor

pneumatic cylinder (1) receives the door


opening signal, the piston rod moves to
open the hopper door to discharge. When
the weigher is empty (zero signal from the
sensor), the delay piston rod moves to
close the hopper door.

hopper, and part of the air and dust flow
into the dust collector via the exhaust
pipe. When the powder material reaches
the preset weight, the screw conveyor
will stop delivering and the measurement
is completed. The pneumatic butterfly Fig. 3-19 Pneumatic butterfuly valve and
valve (6) is actuated after receiving the pneumatic spherical vibrator
discharge indication to open the hopper
door for discharging. At the same time, the
pneumatic spherical vibrator (5) starts to
work to speed up the discharging. When

During concrete production, realizing
designed ratio of water and powder is key
to ensure the concrete quantity. In order
to accurately control the water added into
the concrete, it is not enough to use high
accuracy water weighing device. Because
the sand and stone in the water may enter
the mixer together, if there’s no considering
the existing of this part of water, the
designed ratio of water and powder will
not be realized accurately. Measure the
water content of the sand and stone and
then deduct the water to ensure the ratio
accuracy. For example, automatic modify of
the water and sand dosage can be realized

3.4.3 Screw conveyor

Screw conveyor uses rotary screw blade


or rotary channel with inner screw surface
to deliver material. The powder material
used in concrete batching plant (tower)
is delivered by screw conveyor. Feeding
of powder material is controlled via the
rotation and stop of the screw blade. The
delivery must be carried out in a totally
sealed cavity to prevent environment
pollution and agglomeration caused by
moisture. The pipe-type screw conveyor
is usually adopted to deliver cement and
admixtures. Generally, the delivery screw
can operate at certain inclination about 45°
or even 60°. Screw conveyor with different
length can be obtained by adjusting
the standard sections. Longer delivery
distance can be realized by connecting the
screw.

Pipe-type screw conveyor, as shown in

3-28 Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant System Functions

vertically and aslant. The delivery
productivity of the powder material has
relationship with the screw pitch and
8 7
rotation speed. And it is also connected 6
with the volume and full-fill status of the
5
material. In order to improve the delivery
capacity, varying screw pitch blade is
adopted. In lower feeding section screw
pitch is small than it in conveying section. 4
Feeding amount is big and it will be reduced 3

3.4.4 Pneumatic delivery


Pneumatic delivery is mainly used in
powder silo as shown in Fig. 3-2 on page
3-7 to transport powder material. Cement
and admixtures are normally transported
by bulk cement truck. By using the delivery
system on the bulk cement truck, the
powder material is blown into suspension
status by the compressed air. The mixed
air flows into the silo via pipe, and the silo-
top filter collects the dust escaped from
the silo. A set of suction device is required
for pneumatic delivery of cement in bags.

3.5 Liquid Supply System


As shown in Fig. 3-28 on page 3-31,
Liquid supply system is composed of liquid
additive supply system and water supply
system, which is located as shown in Fig.
3-1 on page 3-6. Water used in the
concrete batching plant is normally clean
water, but industrial water recycled from
the washing device could also be used
partly. After weighing, water only flows
into the mixer by gravitation, also a pump
can be arranged below the water weighing
hopper to deliver pressurized water into
the mixer to accelerate water supply and
flush the mixing device.

C8 Concrete Batching Plant System Functions

3.6.4 Main parts of the pneumatic


system

3.6.4.1 Air compressor

An air compressor, as shown in Fig. 3-30,


compresses the air via the upward and
downward movement of the piston in the
cylinder. During the downward stroke
of piston, the air is sucked via the inlet
valve and the exhaust valve is closed.
During the upward stroke of piston, the air
is compressed, the inlet valve is closed
and the exhaust valve is opened; and the
compressed air flows into the air tank via
one-way valve. The compressed air cannot
be utilized until the pressure in the air tank
raises to the required pressure.
Fig. 3-29 Piston-type air compressor

A location with low humidity, less dust,


less pollution, clean air, sufficient light
and good ventilation can prolong the
service life and improve the efficiency
of the air compressor.

3.6.4.2 Pneumatic triplet

As shown in Fig. 3-31, pneumatic


triplet features the functions of filtering,
depressurizing and oil spraying. Filtering
is to separate the impurities, such as
condensation water and oil dirt, from the
compressed air to purify the compressed
air. The depressurizing function regulates
the pressure at outlet by using the
pneumatic triplet; oil spraying function
provides oil mist to lubricate the air valve.

3.7 Mixing System


3.7.1 Instruction of mixing system

Mixer is main part of the mixing system.


Mixing system is designed to mix the
measured raw materials, such as
aggregate, cement, water and additive,
into concrete with specified strength in the
mixer.

3.7.2 Instruction of SANY mixer

With development of the concrete


producing technology, structure of the
mixer changes, various types of mixer is
developed. At present, SANY concrete
batching plant always use twin-shaft forced
horizontal mixer as shown in Fig. 3-32 on
page 3-35, which is the most popular type
be used.

Twin-shaft forced horizontal mixer mixes


the material by blades in a forced guiding
way. It has two synchronizing rotation
horizontal mixing shaft with reversing
rotating direction. Except blades mix the
raw material in the same rotating direction,
screw driving direction is reversing to
make the circumfluence of the material
in the mixing cylinder, and the mixing is
intensive. The volume of this structure has
high utilization, low line speed of blade,
light wearing. It can get best mixing quality
in lowest consumption. Because the mixer
mixes equably, and the aggregate can be
used in a wide range, this kind of mixer
is proper for mixing common concrete,
particular concrete and special concrete.
When big mixing power motor is equipped,
diameter of the aggregate can reach to 150
mm. For detailed information about the
mixer model, see: “7.2 Specifications of
Mixer” on page 7-5.

3.9.2.2 Structure and principle of the


control system

1. Structure of the control system


Electric control system of SANY concrete
batching plant is composed of electronic
measuring system (weighing terminal and
sensor), programmable logic controller
(PLC), signal input system (such as
sensor data collection), power driving
system (power cabinet, motor, solenoid
valve, etc.), dynamic simulating monitor
and data management (industrial process
computer), video monitor (located on the
operation panel). The structure of the
control system is shown in Fig. 3-48.

SYMC

Fig. 3-47 Structure of the control system

2. Principle instruction
The data collection module and CAN bus
network developed by SANY is used to

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 3-49


System Functions C8 Concrete Batching Plant

collect and transfer data in this system.

The principle of calculation system


operation is: the weight signal is
transferred to the data collection module
by high-precision sensors and processed.
The SYMC controller developed by SANY
switches data with each data collection
module through the CAN bus, then the
real-time data of weighting data can be
displayed in the monitoring interface
through the network.

SYMC controller collects signals from the


site, and followed the instruction from the
operator in upper position to control every
implement component, such as motor,
electromagnetic valve. So every operation
needed in the production process can be
performed.

Power driving system is composed of


executive units of motor and solenoid
valve, and driving of these units.

The commercial machine is called upper


computer in the control structure. It has
two tasks. One is to monitor and control the
whole product process. Monitor function
is to display the local state and collected
measuring data in cartoon simulation and
other visual methods by communication
with SYMC terminals. Control function is
to send control parameters and commands
to the SYMC, in order to control the
production process. The other task is
to record information as material data,
production data and customer data. Then
produce several of production tables and
print them.

Video monitor is composed of camera,

4.3 Operation and Application


of Monitoring System
This chapter mainly introduces the
interface and functions of the monitoring
system of concrete batching planting.

The layout on the main monitoring interface


(see Fig. 4-17) simulates the production
interface and status. Buttons controlled by
mouse in corresponding positions of the
process can be applied to interfere with
the production.

4.3.1.1 Time parameters definition

This section will introduce meanings of


parameters on the left upper position of
the monitoring system shown in Fig. 4-17.
It is zoomed as shown in Fig. 4-18.

Fig. 4-18 Key time setting of the interface


1. Half Open Time
It refers to the period discharge gate kept
half-open during the mixer discharging
automatically

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 4-19


Operation C8 Concrete Batching Plant

2. Full Open Time

It refers to the period discharge gate kept


full-open during the mixer discharging
automatically.

In order to discharge concrete product


safely and quickly into truck mixer, the
opening position is classified into two
grades, which is respectively named as
“half-open” and “full-open”. The “half-
open” can be adjusted manually to
control the discharge speed. The “full-
open” position is fixed and it cannot be
adjusted.

3. AGG Up Time

After all the aggregate discharged from


the aggregate weigher hopper, time of all
the aggregate discharged to the waiting
hopper refers to the “AGG Up”. During
the process of automatic production, the
aggregate waiting hopper will display
“occupied” if the time is up. Otherwise, it
will display red “not occupied”.

4. AGG Open Time

It refers to the period of aggregate


discharging from the waiting hopper to
mixer. That is the period of waiting hopper
discharging gate staying open.

5. Mix Time

After all the material fed into the mixer,


the required mixing time in the mixer for
specified quality refers to the “Mix Time”.

6. Atuo Stop discharge (Yes/No)

Provide options to confirm whether the


automatic discharging is forbidden for the
first cycle production for each delivery

4-20 Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Operation

order. Select “Yes” is to forbid automatic


discharging in the first cycle of each
delivery order. Select “No” to discharge
automatically every cycle. This option is
to remind operator to confirm the material
receiving position of truck mixer. After
confirmation the mixer can be discharge.

4.3.1.2 Time parameters setting

Usually, the above parameters should be


optimized by the operator of batching plant
to achieve the best efficiency. The general
principle of setting is to shorten the time
of each procedure while guaranteeing
the stability and smooth production. For
example, in the circumstance without
material leakage (truck mixer receiving
material normally), reducing the “Half
Open Time” as much as possible and
properly increasing the “Full Open Time”
shorten the total discharging time while
completing discharging.

The automatic forbidding of discharge is an


auxiliary function, which can prevent the
advanced open of discharge gate and thus
to ensure the proper discharge. In general,
it can be set as “Yes” during working at
night. After operator confirming the
truck mixer under the receiving location,
click “Pause Discharge” under the right
interface shown in Fig. 4-17 on page 4-19
(zoomed as shown in Fig. 4-19) or press Fig. 4-19 "Discharge" button
“PAUSE” button on the operation panel
shown in Fig. 3-51 on page 3-52 to realize
automatic discharging after production. If
the operator doesn’t confirm, even if the
first cycle of mixing is completed (counting
down of mixing time is completed and
finished product of this cycle is completed),
automatic discharging will not be carried
out.

is displayed in the box. This setting can
cooperate with “4.3.5.2 Aggregate feeding
setting” on page 4-39 to improve the
aggregate weighing speed and precision
to the utmost.

3. Preact

Such value refers to the fall (also called


as advance quantity, which is applied to
compensate the feeding) of corresponding
material. Move the cursor to “preact” box
of corresponding material; click the box
when the cursor becomes a finger, then, a
fall modify window as shown in Fig. 4-40
will appear; input value and click “OK”;
the modification is successful when the
modification value is displayed in the box. Fig. 4-40 Modify fine interface

4. Fact

The value refers to the actual consumption


of corresponding material. The difference
between this value and the “Target” is the
absolute weighing error. This value cannot
be modified here, because it is uploaded

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 4-37


Operation C8 Concrete Batching Plant

from the weighing system.

5. Alarm

The value is the error limit for corresponding


material (when the weighing error reaches
or exceeds such value, the control system
will stop operation temporarily and pop
weighing error alarm window and button
on the control interface; then, the system
can only continue the production after
measures are applied and the button is
clicked for confirmation). Move the cursor
to “error on alarm” box of corresponding
material; click the box when the cursor
becomes a finger, then, an alarm error
modify window as shown in Fig. 4-41 Fig. 4-41 Alarm error change interface
will appear; input value and click “OK”;
the modification is successful when the
modification value is displayed in the box.

6. Compensate

With such function, the system can


automatically calculate weighing error of
corresponding material in the production
of this cycle and make compensation
in the next cycle. That is, the system
automatically modifies the target weighing
value to compensate the error of last cycle.
Theoretically speaking, such function
can reduce the weighing error to 1/3 and
even lower in comparison with the original
one. The user may tick the small box in
front of the “Auto” shown in Fig. 4-37 on
page 4-36 item to initiate the automatic
compensation. Such function is cancelled
when the small box is empty.

Usually, the fine of aggregate ranges


from 250 ~ 400, the preact (advance
quantity) of aggregate ranges from 0 ~
10; powder, water and additive are fed in

4-38 Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Operation

single speed and only preact (advance


quantity) is supposed to be set; power
preact (advance quantity) related to the
size of spiral tube ranges from 0 ~ 30;
the preact (advance quantity) of water
and additive is related to pipeline and
water pump power; generally speaking,
the preact (advance quantity) of water
ranges from 0~ 45 and that of additive
ranges from 0 ~ 1.5.

and confirm whether the coarse weighing
is applied.
Fig. 4-42 System parameter setup
1. AGG fine feeding gate pulsation
open time

SANY batching plant conducts coarse


weighing of aggregate with two gates and
precise weighing of aggregate with one
gate. In general, the impulse period is 2s
(adjustable as demanded). In Fig. 4-42,
“AGG fine feeding gate pulsation open
time” is the time when precise weighing
gate is open and it is generally set as 5
(0.5s) before delivery (the set range is
1~10). The user may modify the time
according to the actual situation.

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 4-39


Operation C8 Concrete Batching Plant

2. AGG coarse feeding gate choice


Usually, coarse weighing and precise
weighing are applied to improve the
weighing speed and accuracy. The coarse
weighing can guarantee the weighing speed
and the precise weighing can guarantee
the weighing precision (impulse precise
weighing time setting is introduced in this
section). However, when few aggregates
are used (<300KG), it is recommended
to apply the precise weighing gate to
guarantee the weighing precision.
Steps for cancelling the use and for the
use of coarse aggregate weighing gate:
Click “Modify” button in Fig. 4-42 on page
4-39, cancel the “√” behind corresponding
material if coarse weighing gate is to be
used; tick the box behind corresponding
material if coarse weighing gate is not
to be used; then, click “OK” to finish the
modification.

3. Normal feeding time of grit


“Normal feeding time of grit” is the time
when the shortage of grit is overtime, then
the vibration of the weighing bin will be
automatically shut down, and it is generally
set as 10~15s. The user may modify the
time according to the actual situation.

weighing setting, discharge setting and
others on this window. Clicking the header
of “Discharge set”, the interface will shift
to discharge setting window as shown in
Fig. 4-43 on page 4-41. Such interface is
used to set aggregate discharge sequence,

4-40 Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Operation

emptying time interval and delayed time for


emptying water and powder into the mixer.

1. AGG discharge order

After weighing, the aggregate discharged


to belt may pile and leak on the two sides
due to limited width of belt. In addition,
a certain impact will be produced when
discharging aggregate from the inclined
belt to the waiting hopper. Therefore, the
emptying sequence of aggregate should
be confirmed and adjusted for the purpose
of buffering.

The discharge sequence of aggregate


can be adjusted through modifying the
numerical sequence behind corresponding
Fig. 4-43 Discharge setting interface
aggregate. Usually, the discharge
sequence is 3-2-4-1, that is, discharge 2#
sand for buffering firstly, then 2# sand and
1# stone, finally, discharge 1# sand to bring
the few rolling stone on the inclined belt
into waiting-for-feed hopper and reduce
the splashing of stone. Other materials
can be discharged in the middle.

2. AGG discharging interval time

In order to prevent aggregate accumulated


on the level belt from falling, and level belt
motor from over loading, after setting the
order of material, set discharging delay
time of each kind of material as shown in
Fig. 4-43. It is 9s commonly set.

3. Water/Powder discharging delay


time

After material in the waiting hopper


discharged to the mixer, set the discharging
delay time as shown in Fig. 4-43 according
to the technics requirement. It can reduce
the concussion of mixer caused by material
discharging together. It is set to 0 for water
or additive, 6 for powder, and delay time of

4.6.2 Operation of the air compressor

An air compressor (see Fig. 4-111)


compresses the air via the upward and
downward movement of the piston in the
cylinder. During the downward stroke
of piston, the air is sucked via the inlet
valve and the exhaust valve is closed.
During the upward stroke of piston, the air
is compressed, the inlet valve is closed
and the exhaust valve is opened; and the
compressed air flows into the air tank via
one-way valve. The compressed air cannot Fig. 4-111 Air compressor
be utilized until the pressure in the air tank
raises to the required pressure.

4.6.2.1 Preparation and installation of


the air compressor

1. Location to set the air compressor

a) A location with low humidity, less dust,


less pollution, clean air and good ventilation
can prolong the service life and improve
the efficiency of the air compressor.

b) A location with sufficient light, easy


to check and convenient to add oil is

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 4-91


Operation C8 Concrete Batching Plant

suitable. The maintenance room should be


reserved. Place the air compressor levelly
as much as possible. The belt side should
be placed toward the wall with sufficient
distance; otherwise it will impact the
cooling function of the fan.

2. Installation of motor

a) If you assemble a motor bought yourself, 1


select the motor with corresponding
horsepower (HP) of the air compressor. 2

b) Pay attention to indication as shown in


Fig. 4-112 when installing the V-belt.

c) Adjust the tension of belt properly 3 4


to such an extent that the V-belt is
Fig. 4-112 Indication of V-belt installation
10mm~15mm lower than the original height 1-Right angle 2-V-belt 3-Air compressor
when force (about 3kg~4.5kg) is applied 4-Motor
between the two pulleys.

Adjust the tension of belt properly.


a) An excessively tight V-belt increases
the load as well as the heat and power
consumption of the motor; and the
belt is likely to break due to excessive
tension.
b) An excessively loose V-belt causes
high temperature of belt due to sliding
and damage on belt, resulting in
unstable speed of the air compressor.
Standard lubricant oil level

3. Lubricant

a) Keep the oil level between the two red


lines of the oil level sight glass or between
the upper and lower edges of the red line
as shown in Fig. 4-113.

b) Lack of oil could cause abnormal

operation or even burnout.

4-92 Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Operation

c) Excessive oil could cause waste and


carbon deposition at the exhaust valve,
thus shortening the service life of the
entire machine.

d) Make sure the oil is supplied when the


air compressor stops.

4.6.2.2 Operation of the air


compressor

1. Check the following items before


startup:

a) Check the screw and nut each position


for loose.
b) Check the tension of belt.
c) Check the pipeline.
d) Check the lubricating surface (see Fig.

e) Check that the belt pulley of air
compressor can be rotated by hand easily.

2. Precautions for operation

a) Switch on all the exhaust switches after


the check is completed, and then press the
start button to operate the machine under
no load. This could prolong the service life
of the air compressor and motor.

b) Check that the operating direction is


same as the arrow indication on the belt
cover. Otherwise, exchange any two wires
of the three-phase power line.

c) Switch off the exhaust switches if there


is no abnormal noise after three minutes
since startup. Increase the pressure in
the air tank to the preset value, and then
implement protection function test.

5.4 Maintenance of Main Parts


5.4.1 Maintenance of the mixer

5.4.1.1 Inspection and adjustment


before operation

Before operation of the mixer, please


check as below:

1. Requirements on raw materials

The mixer is applicable to powdery or


granulose inert substance, whose diameter
should not exceed 80mm; and 80mm
medium may not exceed 12% of the total
capacity (see Table 5-3 for proportion).
Table 5-3 Features of the mixer

Model 2250/1500 3000/2000 4500/3000 Remark


Aggregate
0~80 0~80 0~80
diameter (mm)
0~32≌50% 0~32≌40% 0~32≌40% Special mixing
32~63≌20% 32~100≌35% 32~100≌35% blade is
Volume percent 63~80≌10% 100~120≌13% 100~120≌13% necessary

100~125≌10% 150~180≌6%* 150~180≌6%

Using restrictions: The mixer is not


applicable to inert substance with diameter
exceeding 80mm, or adhesive medium
like soil with amount exceeding 12%, or
humidity in proximity to 15%. Damp-dry
concrete mixture sticking on the mixing
shaft will increase the diameter of the
mixing shaft, which will consequently
reduce the efficiency of the mixing arm.
Therefore, the mixing shaft must be kept
clean.

2. Lubricant level inspection of the


reducer

Check whether the oil level is in the

5-16 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

designated position, when the mixer is


stopped.

If the oil level is lower than the designated


position, you must add gear lubricant.
Please inject the same lubricant as before.

3. Add grease at each lubrication point

The specified quantity of grease shall be


added into each lubrication point. Four
points on the bearing of the mixing shaft;
four points on the shaft end seal (inner
side) and four standby points; four points
on the shaft end seal (outer side); two
points on the bearing of the discharge gate.
For detailed information, see: "5.8.2.1
Lubrication of the mixer" on page 5-122.

4. Inspection on the discharge gate

a) No adjustment required on the


hydraulic station of the discharge gate.

b) Check on the switch operation:

Check the discharge gate for smooth


operation and check the limit switch for
normal operation.

If the discharge gate cannot operate


smoothly, adjust the bolts at four legs for
levelling. Place thin iron sheet under the
leg with maximum clearance and tighten
the bolt.

5. Continuous feeding setting

Feed the aggregate, cement, and water into


the mixer to mix for concrete production.
The materials shall be fed into the mixer
in correct sequence. The sequence varies
with different equipment structure, but in
principle the following sequence shall be
followed.

Because that cement is lighter in weight


and less in quantity than aggregate, if the

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-17


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

cement and aggregate are fed into the mixer


at the same time, the cement is likely to be
pushed to the edge of the cylinder body
by the aggregate, and attached onto the
cylinder body walls, mixing arms or mixing
blades. Therefore, the delivery of cement
shall be started when 80% aggregate is
delivered, and the water shall be delivered
with the aggregate at the same time.

Feeding water earlier has no negative


influence on the mixing effect and can
decrease the load of motor during mixing.

6. Operation of the mixer in running-in


period

A newly purchased mixer cannot be


operated under full load during its initial
operation. The service life of reducer
may be shortened greatly if the running-
in operation is not implemented (see Fig.
5-16).

The sequence of running-in operation


is specified as follows: Operate for 30
minutes ~ 1 hour under no-load condition Fig. 5-16 Adjust the mixer
initially, and then shift into operation under
a loaded condition. Firstly, operate twice
with 50% of the load, and then operate
once with 100% of the load. Repeat the
procedure above for 30 times at least
and thus the running-in operation can be
completed.

7. Other daily inspection items

a) Tension of bolts

Check the tension bolts of blade, mixing


arm and liner plate after working for a
week. Check the tension of the connecting
blots between belt pulley and coupler after
working for 2000h.

b) Tightening torque of bolts

5-18 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

Mixing arm 420N•m; Blade 200N•m; Liner


plate 100N•m; Belt pulley 130N•m; Coupler
100N•m; Shaft end 450N•m.

c) Abrasion of wearing parts

Replace the mixing arm worn for 50%.


Replace the end liner plates and bottom
liner plates with abrasion more than 8mm.
Replace the side scratch plate, scratch
plate and blade with abrasion more than
8mm or when its clearance cannot be
adjusted.

d) Check and adjust the tension of drive


belt

The method of checking the tension of belt


is as below:

(1) Dismantle the cover of flywheel;

(2) Carefully inspect whether all belts are


intact, and whether there's any belt aged
or degummed. If one or more belts are
aged, replace belts in groups;

(3) When apply 100N (10kg) pressure on


the belt in the middle of two belt pulleys
(see Fig. 5-17), the deformation of belt in
this direction should not exceed 15mm.

Fig. 5-17 Apply pressure on the belt


Adjust tension of belt:

(1) Loosen nut of the adjusting bolt;

(2) Turn the nut to move down the bottom


plate of the motor, in order to tense the
belt;

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-19


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

(3) If the belt is too tense, loosen the nut


as steps above.

E-STOP buttons are set on the two ends


of the belt conveyor shown in Fig. 2-60
on page 2-34. During conveying belt
maintained, press E-STOP button to
prevent injuries.

8. Notes during mixer maintenance:

a) Generally, cut off the main power and


breaker of the maintained motor. Lock the
power cabinet door and put up a warning.

b) Press the E-STOP button on the


console as shown in Fig. 3-51 on page
3-54, and take off the key (if there is a
key).

c) When cleaning and maintaining in


the mixer, keep the overhaul door open,
and check the overhaul door frequently to
ensure it is in a good condition.

5.4.1.2 Motor of the transmission


system

As shown in Fig. 5-27 on page 5-27,


transmission system of the mixer is mainly
composed of transmission shaft, reducer
pulley, planetary reducer, spline shaft,
spline shaft sleeve, motor, motor pulley
and v-belt. This section will introduce the
motor of the transmission system.

1. Structure of the motor

As shown in Fig. 5-18 on page 5-21, motor


of the transmission system is composed of
bearing, stator, rotor and fan, etc.

2. Depositing

Motor should be deposited at a well


ventilated place which is also clean, shady
and dry. Prevent it from rain and water if it
is laid outside, and make sure there is no
acid, alkali or corrosive gas.

3. Running

a) Before starting, make sure that the


rotating parts of the machine set are free
from any trouble. It may be carried out by
turning the rotor of the machine with hand.

b) The motor can be direct-on-line started.


For the purpose of reducing the starting
current, it also can be started under a
reduced voltage. In such condition, the
start toque is nearly directly proportional

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-21


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

to the square of the applied voltage on


the motor. Therefore the motor may be
started sluggishly or even not reach the
full speed if the voltage drop too much. In
this condition it may lead to burn the motor
easily and should take noticed.

c) △ connected motor can be started


with Y-△ starting, but the starting torque
is consequently about 1/3 of the starting
torque when the motor was direct on line
started.

Remark: The three-phase asynchronous


motor of which the frame size is can be
started twice continually in cold state and
only once in hot state.

d) Before running with load, please run


the motor first without load as possible
as you can to make sure the whole set of
motor running well. After that you can run
the motor with load.

e) Check whether the motor runs stably,


free of abnormal noise.

f) The maximum temperature at bearing


should not exceed 95℃; No abnormal
noise can be heard.

g) When the mixer shuts down for more


than six months, clean the bearing parts of
motor and change with new grease.

h) When there are materials in the mixer,


firstly open the discharge gate to discharge
electrically or manually, and then start the
motor.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance of the motor will


prolong its life. And to make sure the motor
can be running normally and prevent the
phenomenon of the motor’s breakdown,

5-22 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

the motor should be inspected periodically.


If you found some bad phenomenon
you should correct it immediately. The
inspecting items consist: The lubrication
and ventilation condition; the existence of
dirt and dust or not; adjust the load of the
motor or not; the condition of the belt, gear
and coupling when the motor is running
with a varying load; and fasten the hold-
down bolts.

a) Clean the bearing with gasoline and


renew the grease every 2000 hours. The
grease suitable for motor bearings is the
lithium grease (or its equivalent), the
quantity of grease filled in is about 1/2 (2-
pole) or 2/3 (4, 6, 8, 10-pole) of the bearing
room, the empty volume of the bearing
house may be considered adequate.

Grease penetrates into the electric motor.


The motor winding will sustain damage.
Drain old grease through the drain plug.

Steps for replacing grease for the bearing


of the electric motor are shown in Fig.

5-40 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

● ● In the full-automatic lubrication system


for shaft end sealing, check whether
grease reaches shaft end of mixer as
follows:
Inspect indication of the pressure gauge as
shown in Fig. 5-58 (10~60bar): if it is lower 1
than 10bar, the valve core is blocked; if
2
higher than 60bar, the diverter valve core
is blocked.
Inspect grease consumption of the lubricant
pump as shown in Fig. 5-58 (≥42ml/h): it
consumes 1/4 of one tank. If lower than
this consumption, check if the four shaft
ends have lubrication reached.
Fig. 5-58 Lubriacation system
Inspection method: spare grease nozzle 1-Lubricant pump 2- Pressure gauge
is installed on each shaft end respectively
shown in Fig. 5-168 on page 5-124. Press
ball core of grease nozzle by nail. If grease
comes out from the ball core, it indicates
that lubricant pump is working normally.
If the shaft end is lack of grease, firstly
check whether shaft end oil pipe is smooth.
Then check whether diverter valve is
blocked. Finally check whether pump core
is working normally. If troubles can not be
remedied during down time, grease should
be filled from grease nozzle of shaft end
by grease gun at least twice a day.

● ● If air pressure protection of shaft head


is provided:
Regulate the pressure of the relief valve
to 1~1.5bar. Check the pressure of the
wind pressure solenoid valve with power
on (0.2~0.5bar). This valve is energized
during charging, and de-energized during
discharging.

5.4.2 Maintenance of measuring system

5.4.2.1 Weighing sensor

1. Checking method:

When a weigher of the weighing system


(as introduced in "3.3 Weighing
System" on page 3-19) of the concrete
batching plant does not work accurately,
has drifted reading and encounters other
problems, first remedy the faults of the
weighing instrument, junction box and
shielded cable. After it is confirmed that
it is the fault of the weighing sensor (see
Fig. 5-72), the following methods may be
used to examine the weighing sensor: Fig. 5-72 Weighing sensor

5-50 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

a) Measure whether the insulation


impedance of the weighing sensor is out
of tolerance (the impedance between
the color streak and metal surface of the
weighing sensor: <200MΩ; it is considered
abnormal).

b) Measure whether the input and output


impedances of the weighing sensor are
out of tolerance. The output impedance is
350±1Ω and input impedance>400Ω, and
then they are considered abnormal.

c) Measure whether the voltage output of


the weighing sensor when it is at the empty
scale or full scale. Empty scale: >2mV
or <0mV; it is considered abnormal. Full
scale: >20mV; it is considered abnormal.

d) Measure whether the weighing sensor


has any angular difference. Sometimes, it
is impossible to reach a definite judgment
only by weighing the output of the weighing
sensor, and then it may be confirmed by
weighing the angular difference. With
identical weights put on the supporting part
of each weighing sensor, observe whether
the weights indicated by the meter are
consistent.

e) Measure whether the surface of the


weighing sensor is electrified (color streak
vs. the weighing sensor surface). Surface
electrification is prohibited since it will
impact the service life of the weighing
sensor.
Tools Multimeter

2. Replacing steps:
Shut off the control power supply, dismount
the weighing sensor cables that must be
replaced from the five-pore junction box
shown in Fig. 5-73 on page 5-52, and
then dismount the weighing sensor.

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-51


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

3. Assembly method:
Fix the new weighing sensor well and
connect the cell cables to the five-pore
junction box shown in Fig. 5-73.

Tools Spanner; Screwdriver

NOTE
1) The weighing sensor must be
connected in accordance with the
instrument instructions, without joints.
2) The weigher must be calibrated again
after the replacement of a weighing
sensor.

5.4.2.2 Replacement of five-pore junction


box/signal inverter ST-001

1. Checking method:

When the insulation of the five-pore junction


box (see Fig. 5-73) declines during the
process of using after water comes into
the box owing to raining or washing, etc.,
and the weighing instrument has faults
(such as drifted reading) as a result, the
junction box must be replaced if it cannot
get right after drying. Fig. 5-73 Five-pore junction box

Signal inverter ST.001 must be replaced


when it is damaged by water entry in owing
to raining or washing, and the inverter
cannot change signals or communicate
with the weigher indication controller
(SWD) as a result.

2. Replacing steps:

Five-pore junction box: first shut off the


power supply of the control system, then
disassemble the double-layered shielded
cable of the weighting instrument and
cable of the weighing sensor, and finally

5-52 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

disassemble the securing bolts of the


junction box.

Signal inverter ST-001: first shut off the


power supply of the control system, then
dismantle the power and communication
cables, and finally disassemble the
securing bolts of the signal inverter.

3. Assembly method:
First fix the new five-pore junction box /
signal inverter ST.001 well (addresses
have been set) and then connect the
cables.

Tool Screwdriver

NOTE
The weigher must be examined after
replacement, and re-calibrated in case
of any error.

5.4.2.3 Maintenance of measuring system

1. Check before production

Before production of the concrete batching


plant, calibrate the weigher in local
measuring institute (station).

2. Preparation before working

a) Poise checking
Before everyday work, check of the
measuring device with poise: using 1kg
poise to check additive weigher while
using 20kg or 25kg poise to check other
weighers.

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-53


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

b) Zero calibration
Before everyday work, carry out zero
calibration to the measuring device.

3. Maintenance of weigher

a) Check the weighers via qualified


measuring institute periodically. The
longest period is one year.

b) Require maintainer to check the


electrical weighers once every day. Mainly
check whether the sensors are clamped
with obstacle or loose.

c) Calibration should be carried out again


in circumstances below: replacing sensor,
replacing data collection box, replacing
weighing display terminal, and when the
weigher checking is abnormal.

4. Relative problems about powder


profit and loss

Powder used in the batching plant


transported by truck is weighed and then
delivered to the powder silo and batching
plant for production consumption. Purchase
data is often collected after measurement
by customer. Consumption data is collected
according to the record of batching plant
production detailed data. Difference of the
two data is profit and loss of the powder.

During collection, various aspects are


referred. As a reference, we only take
problems during consumption of batching
plant production.

a) Inaccurate measurement of powder

● ● Check static powder weigher accuracy

Check whether all the soft connections


(including screw conveyor and weigher,

5-54 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

connection between weigher and mixer,


and ventilation corrugated pipe) are soft
enough. For bag-type soft connection,
press it by hand, and the connection sinks
about 3~4mm around (see Fig. 5-74 and
Fig. 5-75). Powder in the soft connection
may be agglomerated. Clean it often.
Ventilation corrugated pipe will be harden.
Ensure the pipe is retractile.

Fig. 5-74 Proper soft connection

Fig. 5-75 Soft connection is too tigh

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-55


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

Ensure there isn't any interference


between hopper and other parts. Clean all
the ventilation pipe and bottom of sensors
(see Fig. 5-76 and Fig. 5-77).

Fig. 5-76 Serious agglomeration of the sensor

Use enough poise to check the weigher.


"Enough" is to say that the weight of
cement produced with full loading in one
cycle is more than 600kg for 2-steres
mixer, while it is 800kg for 3-steres mixer.
Steps: Firstly, use F1.5 button (instrument
by SANY as shown in Fig. 5-74 on page
5-53) to zero clear the instrument back
to normal status. Add 100kg poises to the
weigher and record the weigher checking
data. Put the poises on center of the Fig. 5-77 Dust accumulated on collecting bage
weigher as much as possible.

● ● Check the dynamic accuracy of powder


weigher during production

During normal production, switch to manual


mode after powder weighing completed and
reaching to the target value. After a period
of time steadying (about 20~30s), observe
whether the weigher data changes (see
data on the weighing terminal shown in
Fig. 3-50 on page 3-54). If it is decreasing
continuously, the butterfly valve may
leak, levelling the butterfly valve. Record
weigher value after adjustment. Compare
this value with database after production
to check whether they are accordant.

5-56 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

During production, observe whether the


negative pressure valve (if has) action is
normal. When waiting hopper or powder
begins to feed to the mixer, negative
pressure valve closes until 8 seconds after
feeding is completed. If the negative valve
action is incorrect, exchange its inlet and
outlet pipe.

During production, observe the changing


range and duration of the instrument, when
waiting hopper is feeding to the mixer. If
the changing range is more than 20kg, and
the dust collecting bag keep plumping for
a long time (see Fig. 5-78), increase the
aggregate waiting time about 1~2s to leave
some time for pressure releasing after
aggregate discharge. Waiting for feeding
time is generally 13~15s for 2-steres mixer,
while it is 14~16s for 3-steres mixer.
Fig. 5-78 B a g p lu mp in g f o r a lo n g t i m e
When mixer is discharging, check whether obviously
the powder weighing of next cycle is
completed. The initial seconds when
mixer is discharging, pressure changes
obviously, and it has the most effect
to weighing. Avoid this period of time
when weighing is about to be completed.
Increase or decrease the mixing time to
realize according to the practical state.

During production with full load, if there


are materials in the waiting hopper and
mixer, open the mixer discharging door
after the powder measurement reaching
the target value. Check whether displaying
value on the powder instrument changes
before and after mixer discharging, and
how many is the change value. Then
feed the aggregate in waiting hopper to
the mixer (don't discharge powder at the
same time), and then compare the values
displayed on the powder instrument. It
is to check whether slight shape change

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-57


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

affects powder weighing.

b) Statistic data of weighing is inaccurate

Check whether there is any data left during


recording. Communicate with customer
and operator, check there are mistakes of
accumulating truck times or accumulating
steres during production. Inquire whether
there is any cycle data in manufacture list
(see: "4.4.3 Guidelines for recipe menu
operation" on page 4-50) left without
record. If there is any data without record,
statistic data will be decreased which
means powder loss.

Check whether operators or other


personnel delete the production detailed
record during statistic time. This may
reduce the statistic record.

Cement silo switching affects the statistic


data during production. For example:
Cement 1 is selected in the recipe. After
production started, cement 1# silo is found
empty. At the same time, there will switch
to cement 2 on the monitoring interface
as shown in Fig. 4-11 on page 4-14, to
continue production until this truck is
completed. It is noticed that, during this
time cement in 2# silo is recorded into the
cement 1. If record cement 1 and cement
2 separately, cement in 1# silo will be
excessive and cement in 2# silo will lack.

During statistic data, check whether manual


consumption is taken into consideration.
During statistic, the consumption data
should take "Total consumption table"
as reference, when inquire it from the
computer. The total consumption includes
manual consumption.

c) Others

Check whether there is powder emission

5-58 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

during powder delivery (see Fig. 5-79 and


Fig. 5-80), and whether there is any open
trace on pressure safety valve to cause
loss of the powder.

If the powder is affected with damp,


loss may occur during production of the
batching plant.

Customer production management should


strict. Operation regulation should be
established. During work shift, steres and
material consumption of this shift shall be

5. Precautions

a) All the soft connections (including red


rubber pipe, polyester fabric tube and
corrugated pipe) are in the normal state
without pulling force, or the accuracy will
be affected.

b) Installed sensor can only bear positive


pressure (for cantalever type or pressing
type sensor) or positive pressure (for S
type or pulling type sensor). It can't bear
torque. Fig. 5-80 No cement loss on the silo top

c) For the same weigher, its sensors (3 or


4) must be the same model.

d) When welding on the weighing hopper,


cut off the power, and make sensor in
short circuit state or join the earthing cable
to the weighing hopper directly to prevent
large current damages sensor.

e) After installing pulling type sensor


(S type), screw down the locking nut.
Hanging screw rod can't reach to trough
type bottom of the sensor. There must be
a clearance about 10mm between hanging
screw rod and trough type bottom of the S
type sensor.

7. Prevention and remedy of joint


breaking and transverse cracking

Causes: direction of the joint is not suitable


for the running direction of belt.
Harm: damage belt seriously.
Prevention and remedy:
a) Reduce the load as much as possible,
especially the belts with counterweight
tension device, which should be limited
between 200kg~300kg. It’s better to
prevent sliding during rainy seasons.

b) Inspect more frequently, so as to


prevent belt from blocking or scratching
owing to foreign matters.

c) Enhance the training of person who


assembles belt to prevent mistake of belt
connection.

8. Prevention and remedy of surface


degumming

Causes: wearing results from relative


motion between belt and idler or scraper
and belt. Curing of rubber layer is
unacceptable. Impact abrasion of belt
results from materials (especially large
size of materials).
Harm: the belt becomes thinner, and
strength becomes lower.
Prevention and remedy: Inspect more
frequently, so as to discover and remedy
troubles in time.
9. Prevention and remedy of
longitudinal cracking

Causes: foreign matters (like round or


angle steel) enter the materials, and they
may damage belt by sharp edge.

Harm: seriously damage the belt; materials


run out of the belt.

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-73


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

Prevention and remedy:

a) The user must require the material


supplier strictly controlling the size of
materials.

b) Increase maintenance of screen in the


aggregate storage, and repair in time in
case of damage.

c) Users of belt must require material


supplier remove iron from materials; also
they may remove iron by themselves.

d) Inspect more frequently, so as to


discover and remedy any trouble in
time since it is critical to strengthen
maintenance.

e) Rubber conveying belt can be repaired


by cold bonding, and should be treated
better by professionals.

It is prohibited to clean or carry out


other works on the belt during running.

5.4.4.4 Maintenance of powder silo

1. Operation safety of powder silo

a) Silo-top filter should be started to


remove dust for 1~2min before and after
pumping powder to ensure the exchange
of the air flow fluent.

b) When the material level reaches the


upper limit of the powder silo, buzzer
alarms, pumping must be stop at this time.

c) When the material level reaches the


lower limit of the powder silo, buzzer
alarms, materials feeding must be stopped.

2. Daily maintenance of the powder


silo
1
a) Check two pressure safety valves 2
installed on the powder silo (see Fig.
5-129) every week. Observe whether there 3
is dust accumulated around the valves.
Open the pressure safety valve and clean
4
immediately if there is dust accumulated.
5
Stop blowing powder and clean the silo top
filter if the powder emitting from silo top. 6

● ● Check whether the work of valve


complies with anticipated purpose
during the initial startup. Improper 7
pressure setting will result in 8
overpressure unbalance, which will
cause shrinking or explosion of powder 9
silo. As a result, the powder in valve will
leak, which may consequently corrode
the valve body and contaminate the
ambient environment.
● ● Regular cleaning will prolong the Fig. 5-129 Powder silo
service life of valves. As to the valves 1- Silo-top filter 2- Pressure safety valve

● ● Check the area around the valve once


a week for materials, and dismantle
cover to remove any rust or dirt. Check
whether the membrane can move
freely.
● ● Overhaul the valve, and replace
membrane and clean all assemblies
once a year. Readjust the valve after
overhaul.
● ● Replace spring every two years.
b) Clean the filter core every 3 months,
and ensure to replace it once a year. For
detailed information, see: "5.4.4.1 Silo-
top filter core" on page 5-74.

c) The following may be resulted if


operate and maintain regardless of
relevant regulation:

● ● Powder emission;
● ● Roof fall: connection of the silo-top
filter and powder silo broken results the
falling of the silo-top filter. Dehiscence
of the powder silo top results the
emission of the powder.

3. Prevention and remedy of powder


returning of delivery pipe

Phenomenon:
When the bulk material truck finishes
feeding the powder, powder left on
the ground may cause pollution to the
environment and waste.

Prevention and remedy:


Clean the filter core of silo-top filter;
inspect or repair feeding level gauge.

4. Prevention and remedy of powder


leakage of delivery pipe

Phenomenon:

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-85


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

The delivery pipe (shown in Fig. 5-129


on page 5-84) is easy to be worn out
(especially the bend) by materials.
Prevention and remedy:
Check wearing parts (such as elbow)
frequently. In case of excessive wearing,
replace fittings or weld up the worn parts.

5. Prevention of paint peeling

Phenomenon:
The surface paint of powder silo bubbles,
comes off or rusts.

Prevention and remedy:


Before painting, strictly adhere to GB/T
18839.1.2002 Surface Preparation of
Steels before Application of Paints -
Surface Preparation Method – General;
after painting, strictly adhere to JB/
T 7501.1994 Technical Conditions on

5.8.2 Lubrication for main parts

5.8.2.1 Lubrication of the mixer


1. Working principle

Lubricating system of the mixer is


composed of electric lubrication pump and
oil pipe. The grease is supplied to the four
shaft ends of mixer under the pressure of
electric pump. The pressure grease forms
a high pressure protection layer at the
shaft end to prevent slurry from entering
into the shaft end for protection.

SANY adopts four points electric pump

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-121


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

(see Fig. 5-168 on page 5-124) to supply


oil to the four shaft ends directly. Even
though one shaft end point is blocked,
lubrication of other shaft end points will not
be affected. Lubrication system supplies
oil to the shaft end seals discontinuously
and keep the shaft end in a good sealing
condition.

Add lubricant to the shaft end point where


needs lubrication manually. This will
satisfy the lubrication, heat dissipation and
sealing of the bearing seat and bearing. At
the same time, prevent slurry from entering
into the shaft end for protection.

2. Position of each lubrication point

Inject lubrication to each lubrication point


according to the regulation. Positions of
lubrication points are as followings: four
positions on the supporting bearing; two
positions on the discharge gate bearing;
four positions on the shaft end bearing
(inboard), four positions on the shaft end
bearing (outboard); another four positions
standby (see Fig. 5-168 on page 5-124).

3. Replenishment of the lubricant

Add lubricant to the oil box to "MAX" level


via oil inlet filter. Clean the oil inlet filter
once a week.

Every time after clean the mixer, add


lubricant manually to oil cups inside the
four shaft end seals in the two side of
mixer, until there is oil overflow in the four
shaft ends, or the service life of shaft end
seals will be decreased and lead to early
leakage of slurry.

Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual - December, 2014 5-123


Maintenance C8 Concrete Batching Plant

Lubricant should be absolutely clean


without any impurity and keeping viscosity
in any time. If there is any impurity,
lubrication system and bearings will be
damaged.

Grease used in the lubrication oil


pump (see Fig. 5-169) should be clean.
Injected grease to the oil pump via filter
from the oil nozzle in the bottom of the
pump. It is forbidden to open the upper

level, and often check it. Supply the oil in
time if necessary.

During the replacement of lubricant,


dirty oil and copper scale left in the gear
box must be washed clean. Meanwhile,
do not drop any foreign body inside. If
there is any foreign body, it will damage
the reducer.

6. Lubricating hydraulic system of mixer

a) Recommend lubricant:

DAT25 (Mobil) or TELLUS S46 (Shell).

b) Replacing interval of lubricant:

Replace the lubricant once every 2000h or


at least 1 year. This data is the standard
replacing time. Please check the work site
and using condition. Replace the lubricant
in time.

c) Amount of lubricant for use:

Two reducers are used in the mixer. Normal


oil level is in the middle of the oil indicator.
Enough lubricant is added before leaving
factory. Pay attention to the oil level during
operation.

It is forbidden to mix lubricant with


different kind, or the service life of
mixer will be decreased.

7. Daily inspection

Check whether the grease reaches the


shaft ends every day:

a) Check grease consumption, which


should be 220ml every hour. If the
consumption is lower than this value,
check whether the grease reaches four
shaft ends as shown in Fig. 5-168 on page
5-124. Open the overhaul door, plug sharp
object to the oil cups outside the four shaft
ends to check whether there is oil.

b) Supply lubricant to the bearings of


discharge gate (see Fig. 5-67 on page
5-45) once every 250 working hours, and
ensure add lubricant at least once every
month.

c) If the lubrication system fails or is


overhauled, and the mixer continues
working, fill lubricant manually (≥twice/
hour).

If there is any problem, please contact with


SANY after-sale service center.

8. Maintenance

It is good time to maintain when re-inject


lubricant:

a) Check whether the oil pipe is damage


during maintenance, replace the pipe
damaged.

b) Every parts running in the lubrication


system should be absolutely clean.
Impurity in the system will lead to various
problems.

Note 1. Meaning of date of delivery

a) After the equipment passes the


commissioning acceptance, the batching
plant will be delivered to Party A to use,
and the day when Party A signs on the
acceptance sheet is taken as the date of
delivery.

b) If Party A does not sign on the


acceptance sheet, but it has started
producing and selling concrete, the initial
day when it produces and sells concrete
will be deemed as the date of delivery.

Note 2. Meaning of roof fall: When the


powder silo is feeding, the pressure inside
the tank will increase if the silo-top filter
core is not cleared normally or blocked;
Meanwhile, if the pressure safety valve
is not maintained well and consequently
the preset pressure value of the pressure
safety vaslve cannot realize automatic
opening to relief pressure, the pressure
safety valve cannot perform its safety role;
Hence, the powder silo holds excessive
pressure inside, and the weak parts of the
tank and its accessories may be deformed
or damaged. As a result, this will cause
property losses and endanger personnel
around the powder silo.

Note 3. The company reserves the right

5-142 Safety, Operation & Maintenance -Manual - December, 2014


C8 Concrete Batching Plant Maintenance

to upgrade and improve the plant, without


further notice.

Note 4.Life-long paid services are always


available to the batching plant of the
company whenever and wherever it is
used.

Note 5. As for services within the warranty


period, Party A (customer) shall notify
the service personnel of the local after-
sales service of Party B (SANY) by way
of telephone or fax, and describe the fault
part and situation so as to handle such
faults in time.

Note 6. The interpretation of the warranty


clauses belongs to SANY Heavy Industry
