OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating the Sand Screw, follow these steps:
Check to ensure that there is sufficient oil in the gearbox; check to ensure that the
machines slope remains 18. Also, verify that the V-belts are sufficiently tensioned.
Check for oversize material in the tub before starting.
Next, open the water valve and allow the tub to fill with water. When tub is full, start
motor and check screw rotation.
There are slotted boltholes on the removable weirs to allow leveling and adjustment.
This will enable an operator to correct uneven flows over the weir edges, thereby
maximizing the amount of fines retained in the tub.
The rectangular hole in the baffle plate can be opened in order to allow floating debris to
settle at the back of the tub. The flow from the flush inlet at one end of the tub should be
adjusted to wash all material down the slope to the bottom of the tub.
Because of the wide variety of material that this machine can accommodate, the
operator should note the type of material being washed, the amount of water in the
material, the desired wash flow rate, the desired material flow rate, the expected return
flow rate, and the subsequent weir adjustments required to accommodate those flows.
While operating, take continuous care to ensure that in the event of downstream
equipment failure, no material blockage occurs in the Sand Screw.

MAINTENANCE
Before any maintenance can be performed on the lower bearing assembly, the screws
lower end must be supported in place. This is important because the bearing housing
(hub) through the bearing supports the lower end of the screw. Use the lower bearing
assembly drawing and parts list as a reference.
1. Support screws lower end.
2. Remove the six (6) hub bolt nuts.
3. Tighten the two (2) jackscrews on the hub.
4. Slide hub off of bearing. The bearing should be exposed. Protect the bearing from
contaminates. A visual inspection of the bearing should be made. If you see
scratches, corrosion such as pitting, or a large amount of metal flakes in the grease,
the bearing should be replaced. To remove the bearing continue as follows:
5. Fold back washer ears.
6. Unscrew bearing nut (#14).
7. Use bearing puller (C-type) to remove bearing. NOTE: The bearing will pop of
quickly. Be sure it will not fall into a contaminated area.
8. Remove the six (6) seal retainer bolts (#4).
9. Remove the seven (7) of the eight (8) end plate bolts (#2).
10. When ready to remove the end plate, take off the last bolt and lift off the end plate.
NOTE: The screw must be supported before removing the end plate. Now the seals
can be inspected. The oil seal is on the end plate if it shows any wear replace it.
(Make sure when replacing the oil seal that the orientation is correct, see lower
bearing assembly drawing, page 19.)
11. To inspect the rubber donut seal (#6), slide the slinger (#8) and the donut seal off of
the stub shaft. If either shows any sign of wear or cracking, replace them.
12. To reassemble, follow instructions in reverse order.

MAINTENANCE
When performing service or maintenance to the gearbox, the complete unit should be
removed from the sand screw and transported to a clean working environment. As each
unit can weigh from 1,500 to 4,000 pounds, use a suitable lifting device to remove and
transport it. To perform maintenance on this part of the sand screw, the following
procedure should be followed:
Again, in order to work on this gear box
1. The screw must be supported, this time at the coupling housing end.
2. Next remove the belt guard and the V-belts from the motor sheave
3. Remove the motor mounting plate.
4. When that is complete, drain the oil from the gear box
5. Disassemble the flexible coupling.
6. Using a forklift or small crane, support the gearbox by attaching appropriate lifting
harness through the two eye bolts on the gearbox.
7. Remove the gearboxs four mounting bolts and take the gearbox to a clean
workspace.
8. Place the gearbox on a worktable with the sheaf facing up.
9. Remove the sheaf and bushings and remove the sixteen gearbox bolts.
10. Lift off the top of the gearbox to expose the gears
The cover must be lifted vertically, and not wedged sideways, as there are two guide
pins that will be damaged otherwise.
When the gearbox is opened, inspect all the gears and other components for wear and
damage. Also, inspect all oil seals and gaskets and replace any with excessive wear. To
remove any bearings, use a bearing puller. Reassemble this gearbox in the reverse
order of the previous steps.

MAINTENANCE
This section describes how to replace the drive coupling and check the alignment of the
screw to the gearbox and how to shim the gearbox to adjust for misalignment.

REPLACEMENT OF SPIDER
1. Block under conveyor shaft assembly, unbolt spider from conveyor shaft flange and
coupling hub flange.
2. Remove present spider. This may be more easily done by shifting conveyor shaft
slightly.
3. Replace a new spider on the proper position,
4. Tighten cap screws and install lock wires.
5. Remove blocking under conveyor shaft.
REPLACEMENT OF WASHER DRIVE COUPLING
1. Remove motor guard and V-Belt from end frame.
2. Block under conveyor shaft assembly, unbolt coupling from conveyor shaft flange and
remove the gear reducer assembly, complete with old coupling, from washer end frame.
3. Remove present coupling from gear reducer output shaft.
4. Install retaining ring and split driving hub and key on reducer output shaft. Note that
retaining ring and key must be in place before installing hub. Be sure driving hub halves
are drawn up completely together.
5. The driving spider can now be bolted to the driving hub with four cap screws. Install
lock wires in bolts.
6. Replace gear reducer in end frame and align with conveyor shaft to permit installing
the cap screws through the pipe flange into driving spider. This may be more easily
done by shifting conveyor shaft slightly after anchoring reducer. Tighten cap screws and
install lock wires. Place rubber seal over flanges and wire in place.
7. Remove blocking under conveyor shaft and replace motor guard and V-belts.

SPECIAL NOTE ON MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:

Twin4432 Fine Material Washer

24

After installing this coupling in machine, the bolts in driving spider must be checked for
tightness each day of operation until it is apparent that no looseness is occurring.
Thereafter, a regular inspection should be maintained.
The upper ends of the conveyor shafts in Trio Washers are supported from the output
shafts of the gear reducers by means of flexible spider style couplings. The conveyor
shaft is bolted to opposing arms on the spider and the driving member on the gear
reducer output shaft is attached to the remaining set of arms which are at right angles to
the first.
The flexible drive coupling rarely requires service or replacement. However, when
disassembly is required, correct tightening of the bolts is necessary to insure proper
operation. The bolts used in the couplings have a minimum Grade 5 rating and should
be torque tightened to the rated capacity.
The "turn of nut" method of tightening is recommended for all bolts used on all sizes of
couplings. This includes the driving hub bolts and the flex-spider bolts. To torque bolts
by this method, draw the bolts to a snug tight condition. This is best described as the
full effort 'of a man using an ordinary spud wrench. When all the bolts have been pulled
up to "snug tightness, finish tightening by turning each 1/2 turn (180 degrees plus or
minus15 degrees). Table 1 lists the comparable torque values in Ft.-Lbs. This is for
reference when a torque measuring tool is available. Note: 44 diameter machines and
larger should have hardened-clipped flat washers on the flex-spider bolts, not lock
washers.

When the flex-spider coupling bolts are tightened to the proper torque, install new lock
wires through the drilled holes in the bolt heads. Two number 16 gauge wires are
recommended and should be placed in a manner which holds the bolt tight. When three
bolts are used in each coupling arm they should be wired as a group. In all other cases,
the bolts should be wired in pairs to further minimize the possibility of loosening or
failure.
Manufacturing variations, however slight, dictate the need to shim the gear reducer at
the mounting surface to provide optimum shaft alignment and minimum flexing of the
spider coupling. When equipment is assembled, the procedures outlined here are
followed to assure correct coupling alignment on all new machines. When shims are
found under the gear reducer mounting feet, they should be changed only in Case a
serious misalignment is detected. Also, when a gear reducer is replaced on the
machine, the shims should be replaced exactly as they were removed.

To check the coupling alignment, uncover the slots of the spider by folding the rubber
seal back over itself. Position the shaft so that the spider plate matches Figure 1. Use a
vernier caliper accurate to .0005 to measure the distance between the vertical gaps in
the flanges as shown in figure 2. If the differences between the vertical gaps, top and
bottom, are greater than 0.020, then the gearbox feet must be shimmed 0.025 for
every 0.010 of difference in the vertical misalignment. Once the vertical gap is aligned,
repeat the procedure for the horizontal gap. For every 0.010 of horizontal gap, shim the
gearbox side feed 0.030. After this is completed, the screw should be aligned. See
examples below.
Example: To remove 0.020 of difference in the vertical misalignment, shim the gearbox
top feet 0.050, as shown in Figure 3.
To remove 0.030 of horizontal misalignment, shim the left gearbox feet 0.090 on the
side of the smaller measurement.

Table 2 following, gives a representative indication of the shim thickness required to

adjust the coupling gap .010".either vertically or horizontally. Note, these thicknesses
are not the same either from vertical to horizontal or for different machines having the
same coupling diameter.

LUBRICATION
GENERAL
Lubrication procedures are performed primarily to deliver grease or oil to rotating or
sliding surfaces to reduce friction and carry away heat. Pressure lubrication is also used
to expel contaminants from seals and other openings. Certain lubricants are used to
protect parts from corrosion.

GEARBOX
The oil level is checked at the pipe plug opening on the front of the gearbox. The oil
level is to be checked with the machine not running and in its normal operating position
at an 18 to 21 slope.
The oil level should be regularly checked. Add oil by removing the breather cap to find
the oil fill pipe.
The oil should be changed after the first 80 hours of operation for a new or rebuilt
gearbox. Thereafter, change the oil after each 2,500 hours of operation or 6 months of
operation.
Trio washers are shipped without oil in the gear reducers. Before beginning operation,
fill the reducer with premium quality lubrication oil having rust and oxidation inhibitors.
Select a product having a viscosity that suits the ambient temperatures for the local
climate. Table 1 shows the recommended lubricants.

Trio recommends that at the time of oil change, only one name brand be used for the
complete fill so that the oil base stock or additive compatibility will not be of concern.
Oils with extreme pressure (EP) additives may be used without harm to the Trio
reducer. Multi-grade gear oils may be used, if desired, for a wider range of ambient
operating temperatures.
When the machine is in operating position, and not running, the oil level should be at
the pipe plug opening on the front side of the gear case. Table 2 lists the approximate
oil capacities for the various reducer and machine sizes. Fill or add oil to the reducer
through the pipe nipple that is exposed when the breather cap is removed.

Note: At low operating speeds, oil may have difficulty reaching the rear output
shaft bearing, so an external grease zirc has been installed on the gearbox at that
point (please see page 20 the gear box diagram item 26). Fill 1 once or more
grease once a week. NLGI #2, type EP rated, ASTM D2509 grease is
recommended.

BEARING TEMPERATURE
A properly adjusted bearing should run at about 140 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. If a
bearing is suspected of running to hot it should be checked with a surface mount
thermometer and checked to see if it is over 165 degrees Fahrenheit. A bearing that
develops high temperature after it has been running satisfactorily for some time may be
caused by over greasing. A newly installed bearing that overheats is usually caused by
improper adjustments of the running clearance. A failed bearing that is overheating will
probably be accompanied by some other indication such as grinding noises.

LOWER BEARING ASSEMBLY

Every three months lubricate the grease fitting at the each lower bearing housing using
water resistant grease. Flush this bearing assembly by injecting grease into the slot until
clean grease comes from the relief slot in the lower part of the bearing housing.
