CHAPTER 2OPERATION AND WORKING PRINCIPLE (TABLE A)
The Gravity Selector has two functions: selection and stoning. The Gravity Selector with air recycle isprovided with a special system for re-using the suction air thus permitting installation in any systemwithout requiring connection to the general suction line.The Gravity Selector is provided with 2 pull-out screens one on top of each other enclosed in a vacuumchamber.Perfect and uniform distribution of the product at the inlet (A) over the whole width of the upper screen(F) is ensured by a special device that does not require any adjustment (G).The upper screen consists of 3 different selection areas (1-2-3) which can be identified by the differentsize of the holes in the sifting plate.The vibration produced by the motor vibrators and the suction air passing through the screens stratifiesthe product by gravity so that the heaviest grain and stones remain on the screen, while the lighter grainìfloatsî on the surface so that the air flow performs the first separation removing dust, straw and glume.These light grains are conveyed to section (H), cleansed and then discharged via a valve (E).The purified air then returns to the area below the screens thus completing the closed air cycle (I).After the first prestratification area (1) the product arrives at the selection areas (2) and (3) of the upperscreen where the stones and heavy grains begin to drop into the lower screen (4), facilitating subsequentseparation of the stones and particles of soil which are discharged at the outlet (B).The heavy grains in the lower screen are conveyed to outlet C whereas the lighter grains are dischargedfrom outlet D of the upper screen.The quantity of these lighter grains can be varied from 2-3% to 20-25% by altering the mesh dimensionsof the screens (2) and (3).The main advantages of the Gravity Selector with air recycle are the following:- it does not require connection to general suction systems thus permitting considerable savings interms of filtering surface and space occupied in the system;- it reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs;- it reduces installation costs;- it combines different functions in one single machine, i.e. stoning, suction and concentration ofimpurities;- its versatility makes it particularly suitable for gravimetric classification and stoning of a wide rangeof cereals in grain form and other seeds.
1) PRODUCT INLET (FIG. 1)Designed for hose fitting and connected to the braking box by means of rubber hose and clips.
2) BRAKING BOX (FIG. 1)Provided with flap with adjustable spring return for uniform distribution of the product.It is connected to the suction hood and vibrates with it.
3) SUCTION INTAKE (FIG. 1)Provided with butterfly valve to regulate the air flow. It is connected to the suction hood by means ofa flexible pipe.
4) SUCTION HOOD (FIG. 1)It conveys the air flow to the suction intake.It is provided with large transparent walls for control of the work surfaces.
5) VIBRATING BOX (FIG. 1)It is vibrated by the motor vibrators and contains the screen alignment and positioning guides.
6) UPPER SCREEN (FIG. 2)It consists of three covers with different mesh sizes.
7) LOWER SCREEN (FIG. 2)It consists of one single type of fabric with slit for discharge of the stones.In the lower part it is provided with a perforated plate with screen cleaning balls.
8) MOTOR VIBRATOR (FIG. 2)2 identical motor vibrators rotating in opposite directions.The centrifugal forces of the rotating weights, moment by moment, are provided with equal and contrarycomponents on the rotation axes plane and therefore only the components perpendicular to this planehave a combined effect. This results in a centrifugal force with constant direction causing the wholestructure to move with a reciprocating motion in the same direction.
9) VIBRATING BOX SUSPENSION (FIG. 2)At the front by means of two adjustable rubber springs and at the back by means of fixed rubber springs,oversized to support the greater weight of the structure.10) BASE (Fig. 2)It serves as a base for the machine and is provided with supporting trestle for the braking box and fan.
The basic machine is designed for processing wheat. The flow rates in the table therefore apply to cleanwheat with uniform feed and maximum humidity 15%.
Special versions can be supplied for seeds, coffee, pulses, cereals and maize.
A) Normal version for cleaning wheatThe machine is normally supplied with outlets for the product following:1) Heavy grains2) Light grains3) Stones4) Dusty impurities
B) Special versions for:seedscoffeeclassification according to shape, size and specific gravity
For transport of the machine, the screen unit is fixed to the base by means of four wooden spacers (Fig.6) in place of the vibration dampers. These spacers must be removed and replaced with the vibrationdampers before the machine is started up. Do not under any circumstances transport or lift the machinewithout these spacers.
The machine is delivered split into different parts.The heaviest parts which require a hoist for lifting are:1) Vibrating box2) Fan3) Recycle unitThese units are provided with lifting hooks.
1. After positioning the sieve with the base in the required position, remove the wooden transportspacers (Fig. 6) and fit the 4 rubber springs (Fig. 8).
2. This operation must be performed by slightly raising the casing (10) using a hoist.
3. Fit the bush (1) and washer (2) in the rubber spring (3), tighten with screw (4) and self-locking nut(6), bracket (5) and rubber spring. This operation must be carried out on all 4 supporting points.Lower the casing with the rubber springs (3). Fit it onto the centering pin (7). Ensure that the 4 supportsare perfectly aligned and that the axes are respected.
4. Position the machine horizontally, checking with a spirit level.

When positioning the machine, the alternate loads caused by the motor vibrators must be taken intoaccount.The machine must be positioned directly on the beams - if this is not possible, reinforcements must beprovided on the floor - Fig. 11.
If the floor is wooden, the machine must never rest directly on it - it must always be supported by solidbeams.
For loads on the building see Fig. 12.
THE MACHINE MUST BE INSTALLED ON A SOLID SURFACE - ELASTICWOODEN OR METAL SURFACES MUST BE REINFORCED WITH BEAMSAND THE MACHINE THEN FIXED ONTO THE BEAMS.
Both the vertical force (FV) and horizontal force (FO) exert a pulsating action on each supporting pointwith a rotation frequency of 1000 n/min at 50 Hz and 1200 n/min at 60 Hz.
With the machine working, the measuring lines must meet optically on the value of 4 mm for 50 Hz and3 mm for 60 Hz (this reading is taken on the circular plates located on the sides of the casing) Fig. 18.
8.3 WORKING ANGLE
With the machine working, the disc must line up with the REFERENCE SCREW at a position ofapproximately 30∞.
8.4 SCREEN INCLINATION
ADJUSTING THE MACHINE (to be carried out only in particular conditions)
If there is an excessive amount of grain at the stones outlet, the inclination of the work surfaces can bealtered by adjusting the two levers (1) Fig. 19 located on the front of the machine until the grain separatesfrom the stones.These levers must be adjusted to the same extent.
FIG. 19
FIG. 18
PLATE FOR CHECKING VIBRATION AMPLITUDE AND PROJECTION ANGLE
1) Opening the valve increases the speed of the product on the screens; the grains will ìfloatî moreand therefore a greater percentage will be discharged from the light grains outlet. In the lower screen(stoning screen) the grains will move farther away from the stone extraction flap.
2) The valve opening index varies according to the type of product, the selection percentages requiredand the type of perforated plates fitted in the screens.
3) If the suction valves are opened too much, the product is raised and conveyed to the recycle unitdistributor valves.
The valve must be adjusted so that no air comes out of the front stone outlet hopper (1). Do not openthe valve too much as this will create excessive internal vacuum, compressing the rubber flap onto thehopper wall and thus preventing discharge of the stones.The suction tube will be connected to a main duct.
9.1 CHECKS BEFORE STARTING UP- Remove the transport safety protections- Frames - check that they are locked by means of the brackets also check the metal plates on the frame- Vibrators:
- check the voltage- check the direction of rotation: the vibrators must rotate in opposite directions- check the rotation direction of the distributor valve- when a vibrator stops, the other one must also stop
- Check that the stoning flap is locked- Check that no object is resting on the vibrating part- Check that the flap inside the inlet box is free.
9.2 STARTING UP (FIG. 22)- Start up the fan (1), valve (2) and motor vibrators (3).- Set the adjustment shutter (4) to index 6 (two shutters for type T20 - 1 shutter for type T30) via thelevers.- Wait for the product to arrive and check that the flap in the braking box (5) distributes the productcorrectly. For correct regulation, the product level must be halfway up the box.- Check that the product flow covers the whole width of the screen.If the product leaves the metal fabric partially exposed, correct via the rack (6), raising or lowering itaccording to the product quantity.- If you wish to vary the light-heavy grain percentage, replace the last metal plate of the upper screenwith the spare one.
9.3 OPERATING CHECKSIf in the lower screen the product tends to discharge with the stones, the causes can be one of thefollowing:a) Not enough air: open the air intake via the valve (4) Fig. 22.If opening of the valve interferes with the selection of the upper screen, the flap must be opened (7) -Fig. 23 - located above the stone outlet.b) Screen dirty: clean the lower screen once a week if possible with a jet of air, removing the two plugs(10) Fig. 22. This operation can also be performed with the machine operating.c) Flap too high: it must be lowered via the side knobs. If the product is too near only on one side ofthe flap, the flap can be adjusted to different heights with respect to the screen (e.g. on the right side itcan be 3 cm above the screen, on the left side 2 cm).d) Cyclone fins clogged by impurities: open the door (9) Fig. 22 and remove the dirt deposited (8) Fig.22 (OPERATION TO BE PERFORMED WITH THE MACHINE SWITCHED OFF).
OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED WITH THE MACHINE AT A STANDSTILL - ENSURETHAT IT CANNOT BE ACCIDENTALLY STARTED UP.
1) Lubrication - see Chapter 22.
2) Screen cleaning:Do not use rubber or metal hammers to clean the sieves.Use metal spatulas and a jet of air.Cleaning frequency:- upper screen: once a month- lower screen: once a weekIf the screen is dirty, it will prevent the machine from stoning and grains will be discharged from thestone outlet.Check that all the screws locking the metal plates are well tightened.From time to time check the screws locking the screen inside the guides (1) Fig. 24.
3) Sieve lower hopper (2) Fig. 24Once a week open the two plugs located at the side of the hopper and clean the inside with a jet of air.
4) Recycle unit upper door (4) Fig. 24Open the door and, using an extractor, clean any impurities on the cyclone fins (this must be done oncea week).
5) Door on fan (5) Fig. 24Via this door you can check whether the fan blades are dirty.If there are patches of grain stuck to the blades, they must be removed as they can cause unwantedvibration (this check must be performed once a fortnight).
6) Recycle unit hopper doorThis door allows you to check that there is no material left inside and that the rotor of the distributorvalves is in good working order (this check must be carried out once every 6 months).
7) Door on connection hopper between stoner and recycle unitProduct leaks may occur on the screens or during dismantling of the screens for cleaning. From this doorthe product deposited inside the hopper can be evacuated (this check must be carried out once afortnight).
8) Check wear on vibration dampersReplace the vibration dampers once a year.

RESIDUAL RISK AREAS
Although all safety devices have been adopted on the machine in order to eliminate possible risks forthe operator, some areas of the machine are defined ìRESIDUAL RISK AREASî.These areas concern moving parts of the machine that can represent a danger for the operator if he usesthem incorrectly, commits an assessment error or is careless and forgets to follow the directionscontained in this manual.The machine is also provided with notices affixed to the residual risk areas which must be scrupulouslyobserved.
Analysis of the risks of the RECYCLE GRAVITY SELECTOR has been performed referring to the listof dangers according to EN 292 and enclosure I of the EEC Directive 89/392.
The dangers of the machine and solutions adopted to prevent or neutralize them are given below.
MACHINE NOISE LEVEL
- The sound pressure level recorded on the machine is 75 dB (A).- This was measured with the machine surface at a distance of 1 m and at a height of 1.6 m above thefloor.- The reading was taken without grains passing through the machine.- The values were obtained from the arithmetic mean of the noise levels recorded around the machine.- The room in which the reading was taken was a metal structure (floor - ceiling - walls).- The values can vary slightly depending on the room where the machine is installed.
LIST OF DANGERS
Danger of shearing and/orcrushing
Danger of cutting or sectioning
Danger caused by noise
Danger from contact orinhalation of harmful fluids, gas,mist, fumes and dust
1 - As the stoner operates by vibration, nothing must be rested against the machine. Machines inremote-controlled systems must be considered operating even when at a standstill.
THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE USED BEFORE THE MACHINE AND/OR SYSTEM INWHICH IT WILL BE INCORPORATED OR ASSEMBLED HAVE BEEN DECLARED TO BEIN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE EEC DIRECTIVE 89/392.
2 - The motor vibrators inclination must be altered and the screens changed only when you are certainthat the machine cannot be started from the control cabinet.For this purpose a service switch must be fitted near the machine.
3 - The vibrator weight covers must always be fitted before starting the machine.
4 - The screw-fitted doors must only be removed when the machine is at a standstill.
5 - Failure to observe these precautions will render all rights to compensation for damages null andvoid.
6 - The customer must also observe all local safety requirements.
7 - Welding must never be carried out inside the machine.
GENERAL WORKING SAFETY
Periodical mechanical checks- Once a week and in fixed shifts check all the V belts and belt drives in order to avoid slipping andconsequent heating.- Once a week and in fixed shifts check all the revolution control equipment and all similar safetydevices.- Once a week and in fixed shifts check operation of all the shafts and supports in order to preventheating and lubricate them as prescribed.- Once a day and in fixed shifts check and clean all the magnetic separators, stoners, screens, etc.
Electrical checksThe following checks must be carried out on all electrically powered systems and equipment:- hand lamps and lighting equipment mst not be used unless provided with screen or protective glass;- faulty systems and equipment must be immediately repaired or replaced;- loose cables must not be left lying on the floor;- at the end of work the electricity supply must be disconnected;- at least once a year check the entire electrical system and eliminate any faults;- to guarantee safety of the electrical system and prevent an explosion due to electrostatic discharge,ensure that all metal parts are unipotential; in particular remove the paint on the jumpers.
CleaningGood general cleaning is an essential condition for safety when working with inflammable dust.To reduce the risk of a dust explosion, all dust must be regularly removed from the premises and smokingmust be prohibited.To avoid the accumulation of dust:- keep all conveying elements, cyclones, filters etc. clean;- avoid dust leaks from tubes, covers etc.;- always keep the motors dust-free;- avoid storing material, in sacks or loose, between the machines.
WeldingRepair and assembly work requiring the use of welding systems and equipment involving flames orincandescent equipment must be carried out as far as possible in suitably equipped places.If repair work requiring the use of welding systems, equipment involving flames or incandescentequipment has to be carried out in the production or storage areas, the work must be previouslyauthorized by the person responsible for the system.This work must be carried out only on condition that all necessary safety precautions are taken, i.e.:- keep damp or special tarpaulins nearby for covering;- monitor the welding bridges for at least 10 hours after the end of work.The drops of liquid metal (welding pearls) dispersed during torch cutting are very dangerous as it isimpossible to see where they go. Via cracks or apertures they can end up in adjacent rooms or roomsbelow (even 10 m away). If the welding pearls end up in a layer of dust, always ensure that it burnswithout flame.It is strictly forbidden to carry out welding work on conveying elements while they are working (for thereason given above). These elements must be stopped, thoroughly cleaned and the welding area sealedoff.If welding has to be performed on vertical or conveyor tubes, they must be dismantled or the bottom endsealed to prevent incandescent particles getting into the conveying paths or the silos.
The SANGATI machines and equipment are provided with state-of-the-art safety devices complyingwith accident-prevention regulations generally valid for the use the machines are intended for.The person running the machine is required to follow the instructions below in order to ensure maximumpersonnel safety.- The belt covers, grille chain covers, grate bars, safety grates etc. are generally already fitted whenthe machine is supplied and must always be kept closed or fitted. When open or dismantled, theyrepresent an accident hazard (cutting, crushing, bruising etc.). These covers can usually be removed bymeans of tools. However, the machines provided with these devices must only operate with the devicesfitted.- The safety switches, revolution control devices, magnetic valves, door lock magnets, limit switchesetc. must always be in efficient working order. These devices must not be by-passed or put out of order.- For maintenance, overhauling and fitting out, the control motor must be put out of order; for theother power sources (hydraulic, pneumatic) the power supply must be disconnected and the pressure inthe machine pipes brought to zero.- A machine put out of order by an emergency switch (or emergency key) must not restart until thisswitch is re-enabled. The machine must restart only when the master switch is re-enabled.- Machines and their parts must be cleaned, greased and oiled only with the machine at a standstill.If these operations require the personnel to climb onto the machine or go inside it, it is obligatory todisconnect all the poles of the motor or control motors and lock the general electrical panel.- If the machine is provided with heated elements, they must be treated with due caution in view ofthe danger of burns.- If samples have to be taken from the machines, this must be done without risk. It is often possibleto take product samples from a tube upstream or downstream from the machine instead of directly fromthe machine.- Oil or grease leaks must be immediately eliminated. Patches of oil or grease on the floor increasethe risk of accidents.- Accumulations of dust, dirt or grain must always be removed. Cleaning of the machines andinstallations increase the safety and hygiene of the system and also help to prevent the risk of dustexplosions.
1 - The vibrating part is controlled by two motor vibrators.The vibrators must rotate in opposite directions (Fig. 25).Direct start.The electrical connection must be made with flexible cable according to CEI regulations.
2 - For the rotation direction of the distributor valve and fan motor, see plates on the machine.
The sieve is positioned on four rubber springs. The two front ones (screens outlet side) are smaller thanthe rear ones (for types, see spare parts list).When replacing, they must be changed in pairs (e.g. two front or two rear) - never replace one singlepiece.
The structure of the frame is normally made of wood to facilitate changing of the covers.
a) Composition of the framesThe machine contains two frames:1) Upper frame: it has the job of stratifying and separating the light grains from the heavy grains.It consists of 3 types of cover.2) Lower frame: it has the job of stoning, i.e. separating the product from the stones.
Composition of the screens (basic model for wheat)
1st part: mesh opening 1x1 mm. with dia. 0.8 mm. wire2nd part: metal plate with oblong holes3rd part: metal plate with round holes3rd part (spare): metal plate with round holes
b) Replacing the upper screen coversThe perforated metal plates are fixed to the wooden frame by wood screws with special washers.Check the fixing screws once a week.
The screens must always be dismantled and reassembled with the machine at a standstill.
DismantlingThere must be no material on the screen: simply operate the motor vibrators for a few minutes withoutsuction to completely evacuate all the product.Loosen by unscrewing the two handles (1).Rotate the bracket (2) 180∞ and then pull the screen out via the handles (3).
AssemblyEnsure that the screen guides are clean, fit the screen, rotate the brackets and relock with the handle.Recheck after approximately one hour.
16.1 INLET BOXThe flap located inside the box (1) has the job of distributing the product over the whole width of thebox and partially shutting off the through section to prevent air entering from the duct piping.The further the spring (2) is hooked towards the end of the lever (3), the greater the amount of productwithheld by the flap.
16.2 CONTROL DEVICEYou are advised to fit a product presence sensor on the product inlet tube to prevent the grain dischargingtogether with the stones at the end of the cycle. If there is no grain, simply stop the motor vibrators viathe sensor; when the grain arrives, it will restart the motor vibrators.FOR GOOD STONING IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE PRODUCT FLOW IS STEADY ANDCONTINUOUS.
The following operation must be carried out only in exceptional cases and with the machine at astandstill.If the product is not able to spread over the whole width of the screen (1) because the product quantityis lower than the actual capacity of the machine, the grille (2) must be adjusted.Remove the side walls (3). Remove the self-locking nuts (4), lower the grille by one or two holes asrequired and relock with the nuts.This will reduce the through section (5) and the product will therefore spread to the outside.This adjustment can also be used to increase the section (5) if there is too much product.
The fan with the CE mark, in addition to complying with the specific UNI 9219 standard of January1988, also complies with the provisions contained in the EEC Directive 89/392.
For maintenance of the fan, see the enclosed instruction manual.
The recycle unit is provided with a special system for using the suction air which permits installationin any system without requiring connection to the central suction line.The light grains sucked by the fan are conveyed into the cleansing chamber and then reintroduced intothe area below.No adjustment is required.For maintenance see Chapter 10.
