Under tropical or other arduous conditions, however, more frequent lubrication may be necessary. It
is therefore advisable to establish a suitable maintenance schedule or periodic inspection to match
service conditions.
Handling
During installation and maintenance, attention must be paid to the safe handling of all
items. Where a grinder or its components weigh in excess of 20 kg (45 lb) it is
recommended that suitable lifting tackle should be used to ensure that personal injury or
damage to components does not occur.
Do not attempt to lift the grinder using only one lifting point. Extreme caution should be
observed for personnel safety when lifting heavy objects.
By design the cutters have sharp edges. Great care must be taken when handling. The
use of protective gloves is recommended.
Use of items not approved or manufactured by Sulzer
The grinder and its components have been designed to ensure that the grinder will operate safely
within the guidelines covered by legislation. As a consequence, Sulzer has declared the machine
safe to use for the duty specified as defined by the Declaration of Conformity and the Intended Use
that is issued with this instruction manual.
The use of replacement items that are not approved by or manufactured by Sulzer may affect the
safe operation of the grinder and it may therefore become a safety hazard to both operators and
other equipment. In these instances, the declaration provided will therefore become invalid. The
guarantee referenced in the Terms and Conditions of Sale will also be invalidated if replacement
items are used that are not approved or manufactured by Sulzer.
Inspection / Storage
Report container damage to the carrier and Sulzer.
Contact Sulzer or representative for missing, loose, or damaged parts.
All equipment should be stored in a controlled dry environment to prevent corrosion or damage to
components.
Grinders are dispatched from our factory with the cutter chamber sprayed with a moisture repellent
coating and ready for immediate installation and operation.
Should the machine be stored or left stationary for any length of time it is recommended that the
cutter stack is re-sprayed with anti-rust lubricant and that the shafts are rotated for 1-5 minutes
every 3 months either by hand or applying power to the drive motor. Check for grinder drive
lubricant leakage. Contact Sulzer is leakage exceed 6ml.
Failure to do the above may cause the machine to seize due to the tight running clearances of the
individual cutting elements during commissioning and initial start-up.
Prior to installation/commissioning:
•
Check external hardware as gasketed areas may have a tendency to loosen fasteners.
Retighten if loose (refer to Torque settings).
