CHANGING THE SCREEN DISH

INSTRUCTIONS

Tools & Equipment Needed
  1. A loader or boom capable of reaching the screen from a location between the feeder and the overs conveyor.
  2. A lifting strap or chain: Note: The screen weighs about 400 pounds.
  3. A careful operator

PROCEDURE,

 

  1. Position the backshield/screen dish at about 75/80 degrees. (As near to the screen dish angle when hanging from the hook as you can estimate.)
  2. Position the lifting loader, fork lift, etc., at a point midway between the feeder and the overs conveyor.
  3. Turn the screen dish to locate the lifting loop at the top.
  4. Position the lifting hook directly over the lifting loop welded on the inside of the screen dish rim.
  5. Hook the lifting hook to the screen dish.
  6. Lift the screen slightly, about 1 1/2 inch and move back to pull the screen dish slightly forward at the top, away from the support wheel.
    • Continue to lift and back up until the screen dish rim is a few inches above the drive wheels.
    • Back away slowly while guiding the screen around the end of the feeder.
    • Once clear of the machine, move the screen dish to a storage location.
  7. Install the next screen dish by reversing the above procedure. A helping hand to guide the screen dish rim into the area above the drive wheels is suggested.
