Installation of the cyclone and separator is required in industrial enterprises where devices for separation into components and special dust collectors for cleaning liquids or gases are widely used. They are united by the principle of action, the basis of which is the use of centrifugal force. These units can be large, so installing a separator and a cyclone can cause problems.
Performing work requires knowledge of the design of the equipment, understanding the specifics of its connection and operation. It is important to understand how to rigging the separator and cyclone to keep them working.
Such a task is within the power of a team of professionals, which includes designers, logisticians, engineers, rigging workers, assemblers who have the necessary experience and have the appropriate tolerances. The company “Sintez TMK” offers a full range of works on the installation of the separator and cyclone.
Separator installation
Usually, such equipment is supplied by the manufacturer in disassembled form. All nodes are adjusted to each other, before sending, a check assembly is carried out, after which the parts are marked and packaged. This simplifies transportation of the separator, but during installation requires special training and qualification of workers.
Under the installation of the cyclone, a special site is allocated for the unloading of individual units, the weight of each of which can be several tons. For assembly, rigging equipment and a gantry crane are used.
The order of installation of the cyclone depends on the design. Most often, the equipment is mounted on the body on the foundation or suspended directly on the bearing elements of the building. The reason for fixing the shell must be prepared in advance. Anchor bolts are inserted into special wells made in the foundation and concreted. Installation of air jet separator can be made only after hardening of concrete by at least 60%. If the equipment is attached to the ceiling of the building, through anchor bolts are used for installation.
Estimates for the installation of the separator include the preparation of the base, the work of installers, materials for work (liners, rubber plates), the involvement of lifting equipment. For work you may need rigging equipment, car cranes, tractors, bridge cranes.
If you correctly perform the installation of the separator, the price of work will be minimal, and the assembly will not cause special difficulties. Given the height of the unit, it is better to collect it on the surface, and install or hang it already assembled.
On an overturned cone-shaped housing in which the inner cone is located, a pipe is installed and welded to supply dust. After that, the structure is turned into the working position and suspended on slings or special supports.
The lid is mounted to the body, all joints are adjusted. The position of the separator should be strictly vertical, which is checked by level. On the foundation, gaskets are installed, foundation bolts should not come into contact with holes in the legs of the body. They are placed on a shell, in which a shock absorber is inserted. There’s a cap on top. When the position of the axes of the separator is verified, with the help of nuts, the equipment is firmly pressed against the foundation. The electric motor is attached to the body. Its shaft is connected to the rotating separator drum drive mechanism. The motor is connected to the electrical network.
Carriage of a cyclone can be carried out in assembled form or in parts. Its assembly is carried out on the site indoors or outside the building. The cyclone can fasten on specially made of metal or reinforced concrete supports or to the columns and walls of the building. Usually there is a bunker or a sinkhole under it.
The cyclone is assembled on the site, after which the structure is suspended and mounted to the supports in a vertical position. The dust collector and the shutter are installed on the already fixed cyclone.
Separator installation
Transportation of the separator is carried out by road. Units of large sizes are disassembled into nodes, which facilitates their transportation. It can be difficult to transport a non-collectible body with a large diameter. In this case, specially equipped vehicles will be used for transportation, and a permit for the transportation of oversized cargo may be required. The route and schedule are coordinated, if necessary, escort by special vehicles is ordered.
If it is necessary to transport a cyclone and a separator by several modes of transport, the task of logisticians is to perform a temporary calculation, to provide docking and transshipment of goods. To avoid downtime of transport, by the time of transshipment in the port or at the railway station must be delivered vehicles, there are lifting mechanisms, ready to work team of slingers.
The rigging of the separator and cyclone requires the training of workers who have permits to work with cargo and permission for high-altitude work. Feature of installation of such equipment are large dimensions and the need to install it at a high altitude. Most often, a gantry crane is used to lift the structure. The movement of the separator units on the construction site can be carried out on sleds using a tractor.
For fastening slings and ropes on the separator body there are eyelets or lifting loops, or rim bolts are provided. Their design is developed by the manufacturer taking into account the recommended lifting scheme. The documentation for the equipment contains recommendations for the implementation of slinging and dissection, the use of grippers, characteristics of lifting mechanisms.
Rigging is necessary not only when loading and unloading the separator. It should be possible to move equipment within the installation site, rolling during the assembly process, fixing in limbo when installed on the foundation or fastening to the structure of the building.
Performing sling and rigging work takes more than 10% of the total time spent on the installation of the separator and cyclone. From the qualification of specialists depends on the speed of work, their safety and safety of equipment.
