Introduction
Installation
When installing your feeder, be sure that the beams upon which it is mounted or from which it
is suspended are level and in line. Provide sufficient rigidity to support the weight of the unit
and its load and also to absorb the vibration residue from the live frame.
A good “rule of thumb” is to design for 1” of beam depth for each foot of span.
Coil springs, wire rope and necessary fittings are furnished with suspended feeders. On some
installations excessive whipping of the wire ropes may occur during operation; in such cases
clamp the inertia weights supplied at or near the point of greatest deflection. To provide proper
drive belt tension on suspended units, tag-line springs are furnished for insertion in horizontal
tag-line cables. These cables should be installed so as to oppose the drive belt pull.
Be sure to provide space around the unit so that it may be inspected easily and maintenance
operations facilitated.
Feed Chutes
Feed chute dimensions will be found on the General Arrangement Drawing for your unit. It is
advantageous to have the outer vertical sides of the chute within 1/4”-1/2” of the inner vertical
sides of the feeder pan (or liner). This will help to prevent material spillage, as well as any
tendency for coarse material to wedge between the vibrating plan and stationary chute during
operation.
Check the Installation
When the installation is completed, start and stop the machine to check clearances all around.
Approximately 3” operating clearance should be allowed above and below the moving live
frame and any stationary parts to prevent interference. Start and stop the machine several
times to make sure that sufficient clearance exists.
Check for Tightness
Keeping all structural members tight is a very important part of all vibrating equipment since
the forces generated will tend to loosen parts leading to eventual failure.
Due to their high initial tightening torque, heat treated bolts and nuts will not loosen as readily
as ordinary ones, but their tightness should be checked occasionally using a torque wrench. If
no torque wrench is available, correct tightness may be estimated by drawing the nuts up
finger-tight, then tightening one-half turn more.
Drive Requirements
With the belt installed, the motor pivot plate should be in a horizontal position with the unit at
rest, as shown on the drawing. If it is not, loosen the four hold-down bolts at the pivot point of
the motor base and adjust the pivoted plate toward or away from the driven sheave, using the
adjusting screws provided.
It is important that the pivoted plate be maintained in a level position for proper operation; as
belt stretch occurs, the plate should be readjusted as needed.

Motor rotation should be in the direction which will put the tight, or pulling, side of the belt on
the bottom - nearest the motor base pivot, unless shown otherwise on the G.A. Drawing for
your unit.
Operating Clearances
Maintain at least 3” clearance between stationary structures and all parts of the moving live
frame, including the pivoted motor base and motor assembly.
Torque Requirements
After the first week’s run, recheck the tightness of all bolted connections refer to Appendix C:
Bolts Torque Specifications. Spot checks may be conducted at about 200 hour intervals
following this initial retightening.
Pivoted Motor Base - Operation
Vibrating grizzly feeders are furnished with a pivoted motor base which, when installed and
maintained, will automatically provide correct drive belt tension under starting, operating and
stopping conditions.
It is important to mount the motor as specified this drawing, as any significant variation may
result in run-out of the driven sheave being transmitted into the motor and base through the
drive belts, instead of being cancelled along the line of drive.
Drive Alignment
Drive arrangement has pivoted motor base which, when installed and maintained, will automatically
provide correct drive belt tension under starting, operating and stopping conditions.
It is important to mount the motor as shown below, with the belt installed, the motor pivot plate
should be in a horizontal position with the unit at rest. If it is not, loosen the four hold-down bolts at
the pivot point of the motor base and adjust the pivoted plate toward or away from the driven
sheave, using the adjusting screws provided.
When fully assembled, the motor shaft must be parallel with pivot shaft, horizontally and
vertically, for proper drive belt alignment. If shafts are not parallel, check to insure that motor
base arms are at equal height.
Where alignment is needed, place a rectangular block beneath the free end of the pivot arms.
Both arms should contact the block; if not, loosen adjusting bolts as shown in the top
arrangement drawing, allowing both pivot arms to contact the block in a parallel position.
Retighten bolts and remove block after alignment is made.

ANGLE SHOWN ABOVE IS FOR DEFALUT TIMING SETTING OF
45°, FOR OTHER TIMING SETTING CONTACT TRIO.

TORQUE ALL BOLTS AS SPECIFIED TO PREVENT LOOSENING
Make sure the drive and driven sheaves are in line with installing V-belts. Use a straight edge
or string between the sheaves.
Direction of Rotation
The Twin Shaft vibrator may be rotated in either direction. However, best operation of the
pivoted motor base will be obtained when the tight, or pulling, side of the belts is on the bottom
(nearest the pivot plate). The benefit of this condition will be noticed only on startup, when the
pivoted plate will depress slightly and keep the belts evenly tensioned.
If it is necessary to use a direction of rotation which puts the tight side of the belts on top, it will
be found on startup that the motor sheave may tend to “climb the belts”, tilting the pivot plate
upward and allowing the belts to go slack.
Creating more moment in the pivoted plate, exerting a greater hold-down force can alleviate
this condition. This process should be accomplished so as not to tension the belts more than
necessary to provide a smooth start.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TWIN SHAFT VIBRATORS WITH VARIABLE SPEED
MOTOR DRIVE
a. Before starting feeder motor, place controller at highest or top speed position.
b. Start motor.
c. After feeder motor has attained full speed, move controller to desired motor speed.
Twin Shaft Vibrator

Description
The vibrator is a one-piece shaft casing that ties the vibrator side plates together. It has an oil
reservoir that runs completely across the vibrator and the oil is common to all parts. As a
result, inner oil seals are not required.
The shaft casing and bearing housings are locked together through high-tensile bolted
connections at the side plates. A special composition gasket, with predetermined compression,
serves as a positive seal at these connections.
On the drive shaft extension and just behind the sheave are a special double seal assembly
and a steel dust flinger. This is the only seal subjected to wear by a rotating member and, with
fewer seals and openings, keeps to an absolute minimum the possibility of contaminating the
bearings and oil with foreign materials.
As an additional feature, the seal assembly consists of two seals separated by a small space
that is charged with grease. The lip of the outer seal is turned toward the outside, to exclude
dust, and the lip of the inner seal is turned toward the inside, to retain oil.
The mechanical seals and grease, if properly maintained, prevent the entrance of
contaminants while retaining the lubricating oil within the bearing housing.

Oil Selection
An oxidation-inhibited industrial oil, Socony-Mobil DTE Extra Heavy, Mobilgear 629, or equal,
is recommended for maximum period oil changes.
A premium grade SAE 40 motor oil also will lubricate satisfactorily but may have to be changed
more often due to potential breakdown under heat conditions.
For more information please refer to Appendix A, B and D.
The usual operating temperature of the Twin Shaft vibrator is 135° - 165° F. Temperatures in
excess of this may sometimes be encountered under high ambient conditions or heavy
operating schedules.
Rather than estimating temperature, it is preferable to obtain an actual reading immediately
after shutdown. This may be done by using a pyrometer on the oil compartment cover or
lowering a thermometer into the oil through the bearing housing fill hole.
If oil temperatures are consistently higher, it may be necessary to change to an oil of greater
viscosity to adequately protect the bearings and gears.
This oil should be selected in the viscosity range of 115-130 SSU (Saybolt Seconds Universal)
at operating temperature. The oil should have a good Viscosity Index and preferably
compounded with Rust and Oxidation Inhibitors and resistant to foaming.
Caution should be used in selecting lead naphthanate oils that do not have the above
properties, as severe oxidation can be encountered at temperatures in excess of 165°F.
If doubt exists in the selection of the proper oil, contact your equipment representative.
Oil Change
Oil should be changed initially after the first 50 operating hours. This “break-in” change will
flush out any small particles that may be present after seating of gears and bearings.
Subsequent changes should be accomplished each 1000 hours of operation. Longer periods
may be satisfactory depending upon operating conditions and these periods can best be
determined by having samples of oil analyzed by a competent laboratory each 400 to 500
operating hours. When the samples begin to show signs of deterioration or contamination, oil
changes should be established accordingly.

Oil Capacity
The exact amount needed must be determined by adding oil to the proper level, as capacity
may vary depending upon slope, size of the unit and angular location of the shafts. However,
the approximate requirement can be estimated in advance through use of the following table:
Model Capacity (gallon) Capacity (liter)
4012 7.5-10 28.4-37.9
4014 7.5-10 28.4-37.9
4016 7.5-10 28.4-37.9
4616 9-11 34.1-41.6
4620 9-11 34.1-41.6
5212 10-12 37.9-45.4
5220 10-12 37.9-45.4
5224 10-12 37.9-45.4
5820 18-20 68.1~75.7
6420 20-22 75.7-83.2
6424 20-22 75.7-83.2
Filling With Oil
Filling is accomplished by removing one of the breather plugs located in the top of each
bearing housing.
Before removing any one of the breather plugs for filling, make certain that the plug and
surrounding area is wiped clean to avoid contamination.
Fill the vibrator with oil until it reaches the line on the oil level windows or the oil level plugs, if
furnished instead. On some vibrators designed for mounting either above or below the live
frame, upper and lower oil level windows are furnished. Fill to the proper level of the lowest
window only.
IMPORTANT
After filling has been accomplished, check the level on both sides to make certain that the oil is
level across the vibrator. It is possible that the level, viewed at the housing where the oil is
being poured, may be misleading since the oil must flow to the opposite side and through
reduced openings located in the wall of each housing. Recheck the level until you are certain
that it has stabilized completely across the vibrator tube.
Draining the Oil
All vibrators are equipped with magnetic drain plugs in the bearing housings and at the bottom
center of the solid tube.
In draining the oil, all drain plugs should be removed to avoid trapping sediment in the tube or
individual bearing housings.
Drain the oil soon after operations have ceased and while it is still hot. The oil will flow more
easily and will more thoroughly flush the vibrator of contaminants.
After draining the oil, check each magnetic drain plug for the presence of metallic particles.
Such a periodic check will serve in evaluating the condition of the bearings and gears, since an
unusual amount of material will indicate that a failure may be developing. Be sure that all plugs
are cleaned before reassembling.
Examine the color of the oil when drained. If flaked with bronze, it will indicate that bearing
cage wear and a potential failure is taking place. If the oil is darkened and dirty the
temperature during operation may be high, with more frequent oil change or the use of
different oil indicated.
Maintaining Oil Level
If the oil level should drop between scheduled change, refill to the proper level and check for
the cause of the loss. Check oil level regularly. During operation the level will normally be
reduced to some extent because of the agitation within the vibrator.
An accurate check can be made when the machine is brought to rest and after allowing a little
time for the oil to drain off the internal members. A pool on the floor is a good indication of oil
losses and it is therefore very important that the area be cleaned after and oil change so that
any unusual condition may be discovered.
IMPORTANT: In reassembling the breather and magnetic plugs, make sure that the breather
plugs (hole in head) are assembled on top and that the magnetic drain plugs are assembled on
the bottom of each housing.
Storage Instructions
All new vibrators are run with rust preventive oil before shipment. If the unit is to be stored for
extended periods the rust preventive treatment should be renewed every three months
following the date stamped on the paper label affixed to each side of the vibrator.
Vibrators in service that are to remain idle for periods longer than two weeks should also be
given some storage treatment to prevent rusting of internal metal parts and drying of seals.
Rust preventive oils such as MOBIL-KOTE 501 OR 503 (SOCONY MOBIL) are recommended
because the parts need not be cleaned of this compound before placing the unit in operation.
Simply drain the excess and refill to the proper oil level with your operating lubricant.
If the vibrator is to be idle for an extended period and power is available to drive it while it is
attached to the live frame, do the following before shutting down:
a) Drain the operating oil and refill to the proper oil level with Mobil-Kote 501 or 503 (or
equivalent).
b) Run the unit for one hour before shutting down.
c) After shutdown, coat the exposed portion of the oil flinger sleeve on the drive shaft with
grease.
d) Keep the rust preventive in the vibrator during the idle period and put the unit in operation
every three months for one hour.
e) When operations are resumed, drain the rust preventive and refill with the proper oil.
If power is unavailable or the vibrator cannot be put in operation because it is not attached to
the live frame (spare vibrator), do the following:
a) Remove the end covers and spray all the internal members with MOBILARMA 524 (or
equivalent). Make certain the bearings and gears are thoroughly coated. On the gear side,
it will be necessary to back off the gears to provide access to the bearings. Use the
procedure for assembly and disassembly of the gears as outlined in the Vibrator Assembly
instructions.
An alternate method is to fill the vibrator oil compartment(s) completely with the rust
preventive oil, then drain. Where multiple units are involved this same oil can be re-used for
the storage treatment on several machines.
b) Coat the exposed portion of the oil flinger sleeve on the drive shaft with grease.
c) Repeat this procedure at least once every three months.
d) Before placing in operation, drain the excess of rust preventive and refill with proper oil.
All spare vibrators should be stored in clean areas and protected from the weather. These
areas should also be free from vibration since false brinelling of the roller bearings, due to the
limited motion of the bearing, is possible.
