1 BASIC INFORMATION
1.1 WELCOME
We welcome you as a buyer and user of one of our screens.
TYCANRThis instruction manual has been prepared to help you plan the
more practical arrangement for the installation and to guide it during operation and
maintenance of your screen; keep this manual for future reference.
There is a variety of different types of vibrating mechanical screens; their
sifter TYCANRit is the best machine in its class, as it has been designed to
satisfy their separation applications with great efficiency and economy.
In a certain sense, vibrating screens are mechanisms for testing
fatigue; the service expected from them justifies the use of the best design,
materials and labor. Its unit has been built with care and went through
factory tests before sending it. If you follow the instructions related to the
care and maintenance of the unit will ensure that the machine operates without
problems for many years.
The attached parts lists will help you when ordering your spare parts; you
we ask that you include the serial number of your shaker when placing orders for
spare parts, so that we can then review our detailed records, which will give us
the necessary data to send you the parts you requested, whenever you need them.
1.2 ENTREGA
Your machine is in perfect condition when placing it in transport; furthermore,
has been operated at normal speed for at least 8 hours in our factory and is

a cover, preferably in a place where the ambient temperature is
the constant and the air is not too humid. If you must store the machine in the air

2 PLANNING OF THE INSTALLATION

2.1 TYPICAL MOUNTING PROVISIONS
The TYCAN Class F screens always come with a base for the frame, which
it is built with heavy tubular pieces that are welded to prevent spillage;
its main longitudinal pieces are designed to have strength and
sufficient rigidity to support the body of the screen, so it is not required

When designing the support structure, take into account that there are three modalities.

vibrant because that is what the policy establishes, we believe we should let you know the
fact that there have been incidents where fatigue has caused failures in the
mounting cables that have resulted in accidents. For this reason, we want to
recommend using direct support in the substructure; however, we
we are prepared to provide you with the necessary hardware with the measurements that
you request, in case you decide that cable suspension is the most
appropriate. Likewise, when using this support method, we suggest that you also
use auxiliary safety cables and interlocked fault switches
electronically.
The three types of support are as follows:
9Direct support of the frame base using a substructure.
9Cable suspension for the base of the frame using an aerial structure.
9One of the ends of the base of the unit mounted with the other that is
suspended on a cable.
Thanks to the strength and rigidity of the main base pieces, they can be used
very simple and versatile assembly systems. Likewise, they can be made
provisions in which the base is not secured to the support structure with bolts,
so that it can be quickly removed from the machine for maintenance
outside the facilities. In order to compensate for unforeseen variables in the
operation, use rotating brackets or a pin for cylindrical support to change
the installation angle simply. The following plane illustrates some of the
possible arrangements.
We recommend that you do not use any type of vibration isolator between the
base of the frame and the support structure, with a thickness greater than ½” of rubber
from 60; this has the main objective of taking care of any small
discrepancy in the alignment of the structure and the base piece. In case that the

2.3 DESIGN OF THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE

The design of the support structure of any moving part involves two
basic points. First, of course, the force required for the structure: it must
be sufficient to support the machinery and any other load. The second point
it will eliminate the natural frequency of the structure, which may coincide with the
operating speed of the machinery.
These same points apply whether the machinery in question is a
vibrating screen or a motor, a pump, a fan, a compressor, etc. In case
that the operating speed of any of the machine parts
matches the natural frequency of one or more parts of the support structure, it
they will apply vibrational amplitude, which could be harmful to the machine and for the
structure and, in the best case, will annoy your staff.
When planning the load in the structure design, standard practice observes
three factors, which are the following:
9The actual weight of the vibrating screen, including auxiliary equipment, such as
motors, ducts, and fine hoppers.
9A load of material over all the mesh surfaces that is assumed will be a
six-inch deep bed.
9Add 40% to the totals described above to anticipate loads of
external impacts, future changes in the weight of the shaker or abnormal loads
that could occur if heavy loads accumulate in the sieve, such as
it could happen if any duct got clogged.
When designing to avoid the natural or critical frequency, in the case of the

it is advisable to keep the effective intervals to a minimum, so that it takes into
account for the use of corner pieces, cartouches, and continuous intervals to achieve this
when it is practical.
When the support beams are directly connected to the columns

at least. In the case of long intervals, consider double the speed of
operation; also, keep in mind that when the support beams are not
directly connected to the vertical columns, the problem could be much
more serious, besides that it must avoid hanging the shaker's support from the framework
from the ceiling.

When calculating the natural frequency of the structure, take into account the speed.

the first should not directly coincide or be harmonious with the speed of
any other piece of equipment.

recommended; this recommendation appears elsewhere in these instructions.
Although we may not have mentioned it as part of our
recommendation, keep in mind that it is also possible that, due to the small
uncontrollable changes caused by the characteristics of the material or even the
changes in the specifications of its products, it may be appropriate to make changes
in the inclination. We suggest that your plans include a variation of
more/less two degrees when designing the structure and the supply and ducting

Keep in mind that as the incline increases, the vertical distance increases.

efficient for feeding the shaker; the success of its installation may depend on this
important point.
In order to make the most of capacity and efficiency and to
minimize the maintenance of the surface material of the screen, place the
food area and align it with the center line of the shaker. Likewise, the
Feeding must be done at a uniform rate, in addition to the fact that the material must
distribute evenly across the entire width of the machine.

Any positive feeding arrangement, that is, using a hopper of

compensation equipped with a vibrating feeder, is an excellent investment
when they are correctly chosen and installed. This type of power supply equipment must
have controls to time the feeder to the capacity of the screen; the
material must pass through the entire length of the vibrating screen at a speed that
goes from 50 to 90 feet per minute, depending on whether the job is classified as
calibrated or scalped. Avoid introducing the material into the feed to
higher speeds, since the stratification of the material bed, and the
subsequent disposal of waste will be affected in case of the

There are no significant spills. The channels must be designed to integrate the
basic shelf or table for stones, in order to control the speed, the wear and
the distribution. Keep this in mind in case the material has been
transported on a conveyor belt, since, generally, it moves at
a speed much greater than that of the mesh surface.

to supply two or more units from a single source, since the vast majority of

2.6 CONDUITS, HOPPERS AND COVERS

When I designed the feed mouth, the discharge ducts, the hoppers of
fines and any accessory for dust, must ensure very well that it exists
sufficient space for the exaggerated movement that occurs when tearing or
turn off the machine. Under no circumstances should the body of the shaker touch
no stationary object, which includes any type of accumulation of material

structure.

blockages, so we suggest that the openings have a depth not
less than 3 times the maximum size of the pieces.
During the design and erection of these openings, keep in mind that it should not be

2.8 HOPPER FOR FINES

The hoppers for fines are almost always built to collect the waste from
the stone that passes through the filtration surface. This type of hopper must be supported by
independently from the body of the vibrating screen, although occasionally it

What the bearings of the axle assembly transport.
This type of hopper must be supported independently of the body of the

space of at least two inches. The sloped sides of the hopper must have a
sufficient angle to prevent fine material from accumulating in the valleys.
the download opening must be quite large, as in case the body of the
sifter collided with the accumulated material, the effect is the same as if the body
hit against a solid object.
Sometimes it is necessary for the technicians to enter the area that is immediately
under the sieve; so you must take into account that you need to have access to

2.9 ACCESS PLATFORMS
You must provide work platforms for the operators so that
they can observe the team's performance. When I designed these platforms,
make sure to take into account the space requirements and the ease of
access to change the surface of the screens. In case you have several
desktop units, it is preferable to work from the unloading end of the
machine. Design the discharge channels so that they can be moved from their
position quickly and easily;
Additionally, keep in mind the space requirements of the platforms.

of the axis. In addition to the space requirements, keep in mind that some of the
parts that must be handled during the reconditioning of the assembly of
axles are quite large and heavy. In case the size of the unit is
quite large, it is possible that the parts that will need to be handled during the
repairs require the use of a chain as otherwise, the safety of
the workers would be affected. The most important parts are the axis, the
counterweights, the bearing and its respective frame. The instructions include a list
what specifies the weight of these components.

In some facilities, there is an attempt to completely enclose the shaker: something
how to build a small room around the unit. If you are considering
seriously this method, keep in mind that its operators must provide service
to the vibrating screen periodically.
Similarly, a hermetic cabinet can be included: a stationary box
built to envelop the vibrating body, but unlike the complete box,
this exposes vital parts such as the axis set and the stations of
tension of the shaker. In reality, the box does not touch any part of the movable body, already

inward through all possible openings, which efficiently avoids
that the air escapes with dust from inside the box.
You must calculate the volume of air that needs to be removed from inside the box that
covers the sifter, for which there are several factors: the material that is fed to the
body of the sieve or the products that fall into the hoppers tend to displace the
air; in case the feed opening or the mouths through which it
the products downloaded are larger than necessary to exceed the volume of
material, the air will enter through them. Likewise, we recommend that
put a contact seal between the moving parts and the stationary parts of the box
hermetic; however, in practice, there is a small round opening by the
that air can enter. The component that remains to be considered is the effect of
bellows in the movement of the body of the sifter.

When carrying out wet screening operations, the feed of the screen
It must be saturated with water before it reaches it. The mixing efficiency
previous will have a lot of importance in the final capacity and in the efficiency of the
operation.
When the separation is carried out under dry conditions, the material bed is
stratifies by machine action. After the fines reach the bottom of
the bed of material, gravity ensures that they fall through the openings
from the sieve;
however, in the case of wet separation, the fines are removed by the

When I see that the circles of those parts are not the same, generally
It means that the machine is not balanced; if the circle of the body of the sifter is

4 LUBRICATION PROCEDURES
4.1 LUBRICATION OF THE ROLLER BEARINGS
The load of the bearings of all TYCAN screensRit is calculated
carefully, in addition to the fact that its size is chosen to achieve the greatest
benefit from its useful life. The bearings we use are selected to have
a closed tolerance outside the diameter and the free space of the roller. The connection
of the bearings with the shaft and within the frame is controlled so that it
maintain the desired internal space within the bearing. However, the bearings
they will not have the expected lifespan if lubrication practices are not followed

vibrating screens is the application of inadequate, contaminated lubricants, or
Well, that not enough lubricant is applied.
4.2 SELECTION OF FAT
Many years of experience have taught us that vibrating screens
high speed require a lubricant that has specific properties. It
it can use a different degree in the various possible operating conditions;
you must take into account both the ambient temperature, which is the temperature of the
atmosphere surrounding the machine, such as the operating temperature of the bearing. In
generally, the grease must be oil with a viscosity of no less than 100 S.S.U. at
operating temperature of the bearing within its cavity.
This temperature should range from 130°F, in the case of small machines, to
175°F approximately, in the case of large and heavy units, when the
ambient temperature is 'normal'. The TYCAN screensRthey come lubricated from
