4. When the deck fills completely, the zone of
lighter material at the lower edge of the bed will
disappear. While maintaining a continuous feed
and keeping the heavy discharge closed, adjust the
eccentric speed, tilt and air so that the bed is
approximately twice as deep on the heavy end as
it is on the light end. Always use the minimum
amount of air that will give proper stratification.
As the heavy discharge area fills with heavy
material, adjust gate open/close timer so that the
outlet(s) to maintain a bed of heavy material that
extends from 8 to 12 inches from
the heavy end of
the deck.
5.3 INCREASING CAPACITY
The above discussion gives the general procedure for starting and operating
an Oliver Stoner. After obtaining satisfactory results at low capacity, increasing
capacity is a relatively simple operation. Only after satisfactory results are
achieved should this be tried.
1.
Increasing tilt and eccentric speed.
Begin by increasing the tilt. This will cause the material to shift toward the clean
product discharge. To correct this, increase the eccentric speed until the material
is shifted back to the proper pattern. Continue increasing tilt and eccentric speed
alternately until you have the tilt at the maximum amount where you can still
maintain the correct bed depth by adjusting the eccentric control.
