Shipment and installation
Shipment
Vibratory feeders are packed in sturdy wooden crates for shipment. After opening the lid, first remove the screws at
the bottom of the crate securing the feeding system in place.
An eye bolt is provided for handling of the vibratory feeder. You can attach a sling to this eye bolt and transport the
feeder to its place of installation by means of suitable hoisting equipment.
Notice
When unpacking and handling the vibratory feeder please observe the enclosed instruction sheet.
Depending on the feeder type we distinguish between following situations:
•
For vibratory feeders whose bottom rests on the counter mass you must pull out the bottom to the top before
you can screw in the eye bolt.
•
For vibratory feeders with vibrating bottom (bottom bolted in place),it is mandatory to remove the central plug in
order to screw in the eye bolt.
•
For feeder bowls with central fastening, the bowl must be dismounted in order to screw on the eye nut.
•
For vibratory feeder SRC-N 800 you can screw on the eye nut after removing the central plastic cap and domed
nut (M16).
Attention
Do not sling or handle the vibratory feeder at or on the orienting device.
Take care that the vibratory feeder cannot collide with other objects during handling operations.
Attention
Make sure that nobody is under the vibratory feeder during handling operations.
Before commencing any handling operations be sure to verify that the hoisting equipment has a sufficient load carrying
capacity. For the weight of the vibratory feeder please refer to the table 'Technical Data' (Section 1).
Notice
The enclosed eye bolt is provided solely for purposes of handling the unit. Be sure to remove it before
starting up.
Installation
At the place of installation the vibratory feeder should be mounted on the specially designed RNA support. If other
supports are used make sure that they have sufficient load carrying capacity. This support must be dimensioned to
ensure that no vibrations from the vibratory feeder can be transmitted.
Depending on the feeder type we distinguish between three mounting situations:
•
Vibratory feeders with baseplate can be fastened from top. The required dimensions of SRG and USJ
baseplates are specified in our Vibratory Feeders Catalogue on page 20.(Baseplates)
•
Vibratory feeders without baseplate are fastened to shock absorbers (part G in overview drawing on page 9)
from below.
