Selectifier Screen<br />

GENERAL DESCRIPTION<br />

II SPECIFICATIONS<br />

The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Clawson</strong> PH-PS Selectifier Screen is a high speed<br />

pressurized centrifugal screen . The screening function is<br />

accomplished by a perforated cylinder having either holes or<br />

slots and facilitated by a rotating element consistinq of air<br />

foil bars extended from a central cage . It is driven through<br />

V-belts and sheaves .<br />

SIZES<br />

The PH-PS Selectifier Screen is manufactured in a variety of<br />

sizes to meet the needs of the industry .<br />

COMPONENTS OF THE PH-PS SELECTIFIER SCREEN<br />

BODY ASSEMBLY<br />

The body assembly forms the shell or outside chamber of the<br />

screen . It contains stock inlet and discharge openings as well<br />

as provisions for removal of heavy trash and light rejects .<br />

SCREEN CYLINDER<br />

The screening function is accomplished by the screen cylinder<br />

which has a perforated wall of either holes or slots through<br />

which the accepted stock must pass . Proper perforation size<br />

is specified for each screening condition by the Application<br />

Engineering Department .<br />

ROTATING ELEMENT<br />

The stock flow through the perforated cylinder is facilitated<br />

by a rotating element which consists of air foil bars supported<br />

from a central cage by arms and adjusting studs and nuts .<br />

DRIVE<br />

The rotating element is driven through a V-belt and sheave<br />

arrangement . A mechanical seal is used where the drive shaft<br />

enters the bottom of the body assembly .<br />

PRESSURE GAUGE ASSEMBLY (OPTIONAL)<br />

The inlet and discharge pressures are measured by pressure<br />

gauge assemblies which consist of an indicator connected to<br />

a diaphragm activated, liquid filled unit .<br />

CAUTION : Any disassembly of the units by the customer voids<br />

the manufacturer's warranty .<br />

TRASH BOX VALVE •<br />

A handwheel operated slide valve is used to isolate the heavy<br />

trash box for cleanout operations .<br />

Specifications Selectifier Screen<br />

REJECT VALVE (OPTIONAL)<br />

The flow of rejects is controlled by either a manually or<br />

pneumatically operated valve .<br />

SELECTIFIER CONTROL PANEL (OPTIONAL - USED ONLY ON SCREENS<br />

HAVING PNEUMATICALLY OPERATED REJECT VALVES)<br />

The main purpose of the Selectifier control panel is to automatically<br />

operate the reject valve on a timed basis . These<br />

valves have a manual adjustment to obtain the desired amount<br />

of constant bleed of rejects from the screen . Periodically<br />

the valve is forced wide open for a short period of time to<br />

release any concentration of rejects that may have accumulated<br />

in the screen or reject piping. -<br />

The panel also contains components relating to the operation<br />

of the drive motor .<br />

There are three different models of Selectifier Screen control<br />

panels .<br />

A) Single unit panel for operating one screen .<br />

B) A two-unit panel for operating two screens .<br />

C) Multi-unit panels for operating more than two screens .<br />

The single and multiple unit panels utilize a single set cycle<br />

repeat timer which controls the frequency of purging the reject<br />

valves . With a single unit panel the cycle time setting determines<br />

how frequently the reject valve will purge . For multiunit<br />

panels the cycle timer determines the lapse time between<br />

purging successive Selectifier Screen reject valves .<br />

The two-unit panel utilizes a duo-set repeat cycle timer for<br />

controlling the frequency of puring the reject valves . One arm<br />

is adjusted to control each screen . The sum of the two arm<br />

settings is the interval time between purges of each screen .<br />

The purge timer controls the length of time the reject valve will<br />

stay wide open. The single unit and multi-unit panels utilize<br />

one purge timer . The valves, with the multi-unit system, purge<br />

in sequence but the purge time is the same for each valve .<br />

The two-unit panel utilizes two purge timers so each valve purge<br />

time can be controlled independently .<br />

The multi-unit panel contains a motor driven program switch .<br />

This device is inside the panel and it automatically switches<br />

the timing and purging controls from one Selectifier Screen<br />

valve to the next . For this reason .the cycle timer setting is<br />

the duration of time between purging successive valves .<br />

Se{ectifier Screen Specifications<br />

.<br />

All'panels contain a pilot light to indicate when each purge<br />

valve is open . They also contain an automatic-manual-open<br />

selector switch for control of this valve . In automatic position<br />

the valve will purge with the timer sequence . In manual operation<br />

the valve will remain closed to its constant bleed position . In<br />

open position the valve goes wide open and remains there until<br />

the switch is released and drops back to manual. This selector<br />

switch is spring return from open to manual position .<br />

All panels contain a spring return to center stop and start<br />

selector switch for controlling the Selectifier Screen drive<br />

motor . A pilot light, for each unit, indicates that the motor<br />

is operating and an ammeter indicates its load .<br />

Each panel contains one off-on poawer switch and a pilot light<br />

to indicate when the power is on . This switch controls the<br />

110 volt power to the control panel .<br />

Note : The motor control stop and start circuit is normally<br />

energized from the motor starter and therefore can be energized<br />

even though the 110 volt power switch is in the off position .<br />

Note : The Selectifier control panel does not contain the<br />

magnetic starters for operating the drive motors .<br />

Selectifier Screen Installation<br />

NOTE : Airfoil bars must be in matched sets of two bars and<br />

be within 1/4 oz . of each other . When installing four (4)<br />

• airfoil bars on one scraper cage, two different matched<br />

sets can be used if the matched sets are installed 160• '<br />

,apart .<br />

To check the clearances, use 10"-12" long feelers . Rotate the<br />

bars while moving the feelers from top to bottom, locating the<br />

high point on the cylinder . Check each bar from the same high<br />

point . To change the clearance, move the airfoil bar in or out<br />

by turning the adjusting nuts .<br />

NOTE : To keep the bars parallel with the cylinder, adjust the<br />

top and bottom stud nut each 1/4 or 1/2 turn at a time .<br />

CAUTION : After checking or resetting the bar clearance be -<br />

sure all adjusting nuts are tight .<br />

After the screen has operated a few days or at the first washup,<br />

remove the top cover and check the thrust screw and the adjusting<br />

nuts to be sure they are tight .<br />

ROTATION<br />

While the top cover is off the screen, jog the motor to check<br />

the rotation . The rotating element should turn clockwise when<br />

viewed from the top .<br />

DO NOT OPERATE THE SCREEN DRY AS EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY DAMAGE THE .<br />

MECHANICAL SEAL .<br />

TRASH BOX VALVE<br />

The handwheel operated slide valve over the heavy trash box should<br />

be fully open .<br />

REJECT VALVE<br />

MANUAL - If the screen is equipped with a handwheel operated<br />

reject valve it should be fully closed .<br />

AUTOMATIC - If the screen is equipped with an automatic reject<br />

valve, pipe up the solenoid control valve in the air supply<br />

line for the cylinder operator in accordance with the diagram<br />

shown in this manual . Normal air pressure for operating an<br />

automatic reject valve is 50 to 60 PSIG . Maximum pressure is<br />

100 PSIG . Fill the air filter lubricator with oil in accordance<br />

with the instructions on and under the filter cap . See the<br />

Lubrication section of this manual for oil recommendations .<br />

To check the reject valve operation and for proper piping, the<br />

solenoid valve may be operated by using its manual override .<br />

This is a button on the solenoid enl of the valve . With the<br />

air supply on and the button depressed, the reject valve should<br />

open. When the button is released, the valve should close .<br />

BEATIER ROOM APPLICATION<br />

.<br />

Selectifier Screen<br />

It is recommended that Selectifier Screens,-when used in a beater<br />

room application, be equipped with a control system designed<br />

to reduce the possibility of plugging . When a pressure control<br />

on the discharge side of the screen senses a drop in pressure,<br />

water is added to the dilution tank to reduce the consistency and<br />

hopefully free the screen . Should plugging continue the screen<br />

and supply pump will be shut down .<br />

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS<br />

V . OPERATION<br />

SELECTIFIER SCREEN<br />

The screen must be operated with proper feed consistency and flow<br />

as determined at time of purchase .<br />

It is recommended that the flow through the screen be controlled<br />

on the discharge side and that the pump feeding the screen be capable<br />

of supplying the required flow through the screen with a minimum<br />

inlet pressure of 30 PSI .<br />

During operation the continous reject flow must be maintained at<br />

the designed rate . This may be done by manual observation, by use<br />

of a f low meter .<br />

If the screen should plug due to a sudden surge in consistency or<br />

due to a sudden influx of rejects it can normally be unplugged on<br />

the run by shutting the control valve tight until both inlet and<br />

discharge gauges read the same . This increased pressure and stop<br />

of flow through the cylinder allows the rotor to clear the screen<br />

of a fiber mat at the surface . When the pressures are equal you<br />

may start the f low through the screen by opening the control valve<br />

slowly and watch the gauges . If the normal pressure range is attained<br />

you may assume it is cleared and the screen will continue<br />

to operate as required . If the differential remains high it may<br />

be necessery to repeat the process . If the screen plugs tight<br />

and the motor kicks out, it will be necessary to remove the cover<br />

and clean the screen before operating .<br />

The above type of control can be done automatically by a differential<br />

pressure control arrangement . If desirable, you see <strong>Black</strong><br />

<strong>Clawson</strong> representative .<br />

Starting the Selectifier Screen<br />

V OPERATION<br />

SELECTIFIER SCREEN<br />

An established sequence of steps should always be followed when starting<br />

• the Selectifier Screen, This procedure will prevent mistakes, insure<br />

quicker start-up and give better operation .<br />

Start-Up Procedure<br />

1- Set lte ject System<br />

The purpose of the reject system is to rid the screen of any<br />

particles that are too large to pass through the cylinder perf orations,<br />

such as fiber bundles that will not break up, sionfibrous<br />

materials, sheaves, etc . These items, if not removed<br />

from the unit will recirculate in the-screen and increase in<br />

numbers until they come into contact with the rotating element .<br />

They can be forced between the bars and the cylinder which can<br />

cause cylinder breakage, cylinder plugging or rejects being<br />

forced through the cylinder .<br />

The reject system is controlled through a valve in one of the<br />

following manners .<br />

A - Automatic Reject System - Pneumatic valve operated through<br />

a control panel in one of the following ways :<br />

1- Continuous Bleeding with Periodic Purge<br />

In this system the valve is adjusted so that in its<br />

"Closed"position the f low is not completely shut off .<br />

Periodically the valve is fully opened for a specified<br />

time and then returned to its original position .<br />

The amount the valve remains open is adjustable and<br />

must be set for each installation .<br />

- Periodic Purge<br />

In this system there is no f low thru the reject line<br />

when the valve is in the "Closetl" position . Periodically<br />

the valve is fully opened for a specified time and<br />

then closed again, . .<br />

2 - Periodic Purge<br />

SELECTIFIER SCREEN<br />

In this system there is no flow thru the reject line<br />

as the valve is completely closed . Periodically the<br />

valve is opened to flush out any buildup and then closed<br />

again .<br />

1-a Before starting a Selectifier Screen or series of screens that<br />

have an automatic reject system, review the control panel checkout<br />

procedure .in the Installation section of this manual . Set<br />

the cycle timer and pur;r timer to the desired settinga. If no<br />

previous experience is available the cycle timer may be set at<br />

5 minutes and the purge timer at 1 second for starting the<br />

screen and adjustments made later .<br />

1-B If the screen has a manual reject system and continuous bleeding<br />

is desired, open the valve about 1" .<br />

2- Check the hand operated valve over the heavy trash box . It<br />

should be completely open .<br />

3 - Turn on the pump to fill the system and Selectifier Screen with<br />

water. The screen should be full of water before starting the<br />

motor. The screen should be under some pressure at all times<br />

when operating . The amount of pressure will vary with each<br />

Installation . When pressures are very low, it is advisable to<br />

control f low through the screen with a discharge control valve .<br />

4 - Start the Selectifier Screen motor . CAUTION : Do not run the<br />

screen dry except for short periods as the machanical seal may<br />

be damaged . NOTE : The screen must be operating before introducing<br />

stock into the system .<br />

5- Crack the 1" air bleed-off valve on the inlet head cover and<br />

bleed off entrapped air . Recheck this valve once or twice a<br />

shif t for several days . When extreme air conditions are encountered,<br />

it may be necessary to bleed this valve continuously while<br />

locating and correcting the source of air entrance into the system .<br />

6 - Introduce stock into the system .<br />

HEAVY<br />

TRA:N<br />

s OX<br />

Zhe purpose of this trash box is to rid the screen of any large or<br />

heavy particles that could cause any internal damage between purges<br />

of the reject valve .<br />

The trash box is equipped with a quick opening cleanout door and a<br />

band operated slide valve to facilitate the cleanout operation .<br />

Zccept while cleaning the trash box, the valve should be completely<br />

open . To clean the trash box, close the valve and open the quick<br />

opening door . Normally no additional water is needed to wash out<br />

the box .<br />

Af ter cleaning, close the quick opening door and slowly open the<br />

valve gate until it is completely open .<br />

The number of times that the trash box should be cleaned each day<br />

will vary . It should be cleaned as often as necessary to prevent<br />

stock f rom dewatering and forming a plug that will prevent heavy<br />

particles from settling on teh bottom of the box .<br />

For start-up, clean once each shift .<br />

LUBRICATION<br />

VII LuBRICATION<br />

The bearings supporting the drive shaft are grease lubricated .<br />

Lines are run from the bearing housings to the outside,of the<br />

Selectifier Screen base to make lubrication easier .<br />

Pump an adequate amount of grease into each bearing (15 to 20<br />

strokes after the lines are full) .<br />

TYPE OF GREASE - Lubricant should be a high grade, non-separating<br />

bearing grease suitable for operating temperatures up to +150•F .<br />

Grease should be N .L.G .I . number 1 consistency .<br />

Grease lubricant must be non-corrosive to ball or roller bearings,<br />

and must be neutral in reaction . It should contain no grit,<br />

abrasives or fillers ; should not precipitate sediment ; and should<br />

have moisture resistant characteristics . The lubricatn must have<br />

good resistance to oxidation .<br />
