Adjustments and operations
Operations - Important points
• Retighten nuts and bolts after the first day of service. Check the conditions of
all pins and cotter pins. Then, retighten every 24 service hours;
• Check if the composting plant is leveled and compacted;
• The plant must have a declivity to facilitate the outflow of surface water;
• To use the equipment, the tractor must have a PTO with
540 RPM
, hydraulic
system quick coupler type. Minimum power of
80 - 120 CV
and creeper gear to
reach a speed of
200 - 320 meters/hour;
• The tractor motor acceleration must correspond to
540 RPM
on the PTO; do not
overpass this speed;
• The working speed must variate from
200 to 320 meters/hour;
• On the beginning/end of the grooves, there must have enough space to maneuver
the equipment;
• Regularly check the tightening of the fixation bolts on the rotor fins. Avoid to work
with loose fins or crooked ones, as they may unbalance the rotor;
• Note the lubrication intervals carefully. (See 'lubrication' section for instructions);
• Regularly check the tractor hydraulic system;
• The oil level on the gearbox must be checked weekly and filled up when necessary
with
SAE 90
mineral oil;
• Grooves dimension:
4 meters wide x 1.50 meters high
;
• The equipment tires must be calibrated according to the instructions on the 'tires
inflation' page;
• The calibration must always be done with a contention device (tire inflation cage);
• During working or transportation, do not allow the presence of passengers on
the tractor or equipment.
• Remove pieces of wood or any object that may get stuck to the equipment;
• For testing or activating the rotor, be careful if there are any people close to the
operation, on a risky condition;
• As previously mentioned, the CRO compost turner has several adjustments.
However, only the local conditions can determine its best adjustment.
NOTE The groove dimensions described above are for working with filter cake. When
working with another material that has another density, these dimensions
have to be re-defined, so the equipment can work normally with such material.
