Dings Magnetic Group PERMANENT DEEP DRAW DRUM - Manual (Page 4)

IMPORTANT
This section covers additional instructions that should be followed
to install and operate the Deep Draw Drum when it is supplied by
Dings with a horizontal support frame as shown in Figure 8.
Read Section 1 before Section 2.
MOUNTING - DRUM SUPPLIED WITH FRAME
The Deep Draw Drum and frame are shipped assembled, ready to
mount on a support structure or by suspension from an overhead
support structure. A support structure at the work site is provided by
the installer or the user. Four support lugs are furnished on the
frame for a suspended installation.
Install the drum/frame assembly with the frame level. If the assembly
will be suspended, use 4 parallel wire rope or chain slings with turn-
buckles for easy vertical adjustment.
ADJUST MAGNET ARC
Follow instructions in Section 1.
FEED TO DRUM
Follow instructions in Section 1.
SPLITTER
Follow instructions in Section 1.
DRUM DRIVE - MOTOR, WIRING, CHAIN
A gearmotor is furnished with the drum/frame assembly. It was
sized to suit the drum diameter and expected loading. The standard
motor is a TEFC parallel shaft gearmotor that operates on 230/460
volt 3ph 60Hz.
Motor speed, drum sprocket and motor sprocket were matched at
the Dings factory to produce the correct rotational speed for the
drum diameter. An instruction booklet cover the gearmotor was
attached to the motor when shipped from Dings. If the booklet is
missing, call the Dings sales department for a copy.
Follow the wire connection diagram on the motor nameplate. Be
sure to provide overload protection. After the motor is connected to
a power supply, jog the motor on and off to see if the drum shell
rotates in the correct direction. If the direction is wrong, reverse any
2 wire connections.
The separator was shipped from Dings with the correct amount of
tension on the drive chain. However, the motor mounting bolts
could have loosened during transit. Check chain tension before
operating the drum. The chain should be taut. If it needs tightening,
loosen bolts holding the motor in place, slide motor as needed to
tighten chain, and tighten bolts securely. Remember to remount
the chain guard after adjusting the motor base. Be sure the chain
doesn’t hit the guard when the drum is in motion.
ORDERING PARTS
Replacement parts can be order by mail, or by phoning a local
Dings representative, or the Dings factory. All parts are shipped
from the factory. Please provide a serial number from the name-
plate on the Deep Draw Drum whenever possible.
You can call the factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at 414-672-7830
between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM central time, Monday through Friday.
Tell our operator that you want to speak to someone about parts for
a magnetic separator.
DECOMMISSIONING
If the separator will be taken out of service and decommissioned,
care must be taken in the disposal of component items. The drive
system (motor, gearbox, etc.) should be disposed of as you would
any electric motor. Frame components are carbon steel and can be
processed by a qualified recycler. The drum itself contains strong
permanently magnetized ceramic magnets. The magnetic field is
always present and projects out into the space several inches away
from the shell. Proper care must be taken in handling and
transporting the equipment. If the drum will be recycled, the
recycling operator must be made aware of the magnetic properties
of the separator.
