1. Screw Conveyor Manufacturing

Most components are manufactured to the standards of the Conveyor Equipment Manufactures Association (CEMA). Manufacturers design and manufacture special components for unusual requirements. Conveyors can be ordered as individual components for aligning and assembling in the field. When the manufacturer engineers the conveyor, complete specification drawings are generally furnished. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

1.1. Product Description

The Screw-Conveyor System (SCS) is a helicoid conveyor screw with a U-shaped flange formed trough. The SCS is designed to collect, move, and distribute lead, brass and other slug and projectile materials from the trap to a central discharge location. As projectiles fall from the trap collection chamber, they are pulled away by a powerful helicoid screw and safely deposited typically in a large barrel for truly hands-free operation.

1.2. Receiving and Inspection

Because of variations in length and installation conditions, screw conveyors are usually shippedas sub-assem-blies. Check all assemblies and parts against shipping papers, and inspect for damage on arrival. Look for dented or bent trough and bent flanges, flighting, pipe or hangers. Minor damage incurred in shipping can be readily repaired in the field. For severely damaged parts, file an immediate claim with the carrier. Before pro-ceedingwith erection, ensure that the supplementary instructions are included. If anything is missing, consult the supplier.

1.3. Screw Conveyor Trough Assembly

Screw conveyor troughs must be assembled straight and true with no distortion. If anchor bolts are not in line, either move them or slot the conveyor feet or saddle holes. Use shims under feet as required to achieve correct alignment. Do not proceed with installation of shafts and screws until trough has been completely aligned and bolted down. For further install and erection information see Installation Manual.

2. Warning and Safety Instructions

2.1. General Safety Precautions

It is the responsibility of the owner and user to maintain and operate the conveyor, components and, conveyor assemblies in such amanner as to comply with the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act and with all state and local laws and ordinances and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B20.1 Safety Code.

In order to avoid an unsafe or hazardous condition, the assemblies or parts must be installed and operated in accordance with the followingMINIMUM provisions.

1. Conveyors shall not be operated unless all covers and/or guards for the conveyor and drive unit are in place. If the conveyor is to be opened for inspection cleaning,maintenance or observation, the electric power to the motor driving the conveyor must be LOCKED OUT in such a manner that the conveyor cannot be restarted by anyone; however remote from the area, until conveyor cover or guards and drive guards have been properly replaced.

2. If the conveyor must have an open housing as a condition of its use and application, the entire conveyor is then to be guarded by a railing or fence in accordance with ANSI standard B20.1.(Request current edition and addenda)

3. Feed openings for shovel, front loaders or other manual or mechanical equipment shall be constructed in such a way that the conveyor opening is covered by a grating. If the nature of the material is such that a grating cannot be used, then the exposed section of the conveyor is to be guarded by a railing or fence and there shall be a warning sign posted.

4. Do not attempt any maintenance or repairs of the conveyor until power has been LOCKED OUT.

ACTION TARGET • PO BOX 636 • PROVO, UT 84603 • 801-377-8033 •WWW.ACTIONTARGET.COM 3

5. Always operate conveyor in accordance with these instructions and those contained on the caution labels affixed to the equipment.

6. Do not place hands, feet, or any part of your body, in the conveyor.

7. Never walk on conveyor covers, grating or guards.

8. Do not use conveyor for any purpose other than that for which it was intended.

9. Do not poke or prod material into the conveyor with a bar or stick inserted through the openings.

10. Keep the area around conveyor drive and control station free of debris and obstacles.

11. Eliminate all sources of stored energy (materials or devices that could cause conveyor components to move without power applied) before opening the conveyor

12. Do not attempt to clear a jammed conveyor until power has been LOCKED OUT.

13. Do not attempt field modification of conveyor or components.

14.Conveyors are not normallymanufacturedor designedto handlematerials that are hazardous to personnel.

These materials which are hazardous include those that are explosive, flammable, toxic or otherwise danger-ous to personnel. Conveyors may be designed to handle these materials. Conveyors are not manufactured or designed to comply with local, state or federal codes for unfired pressure vessels. If hazardous materials are to be conveyed or if the conveyor is to be subjected to internal or external pressure, manufacturer should be consulted prior to any modifications.

2.2. Electrical

Warning! Action Target insists that disconnecting and locking out the power to the motor driving the unit provides the only real protection against injury!

Secondary safety devices are available; however, the decision as to their need and the type required must be made by the owner-assembler as we have no information regarding plant wiring, plant environment, the interlocking of the screw conveyor with other equipment, extent of plant automation, etc. Other devices should not be used as a substitute for locking out the power prior to removing guards or covers. We caution that use of the secondary devices may cause employees to develop a false sense of security and fail to lock out power before removing covers or guards. This could result in a serious injury should the secondary device fail or malfunction.

There are many kinds of electrical devices for interlocking of conveyors and conveyor systems such that if one conveyor in a system or process is stopped other equipment feeding it, or following it can also be automatically stopped.

Electrical controls, machinery guards, railings, walkways, arrangement of installation, training of personnel, etc., are necessary ingredients for a safe working place. It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, owner and user to supplement the materials and services furnished with these necessary items to make the conveyor installation comply with the law and accepted standards.

Conveyor inlet and discharge openings are designed to connect to other equipment or machinery so that the flow of material into and out of the conveyor is completely enclosed.

2.3. Safety Labels

One or more warning labels should be visible on conveyor housings, conveyor covers and elevator housings (See Figure 2). If the labels attached to the equipment become illegible, please order replacement warning labels from the OEM or CEMA.

The Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA) has produced an audio-visual presentation entitled "Safe Operation of Screw Conveyors, Drag Conveyors, and Bucket Elevators." CEMA encourages acquisition and use of this source of safety information to supplement your safety program.

3. Screw Conveyor Operation

3.1. Operating Safety

Warning! Only persons completely familiar with the following precautions should be permitted to operate the conveyor! The operator should thoroughly understand these instructions before attempting to use the conveyor. Failure to follow these precautions may result in serious injury or damage to equipment!

To help promote safety and help reduce accidents, CEMA has made available a VHS videotape presentation designed to demonstrate the basic rules for safe operation of screw conveyors. Contact CEMA for details about the video "Screw Conveyors, Drag Conveyors, and Bucket Elevator Safety Video".

1. ALWAYS operate conveyor in accordance with these instructions and those Safety Precautions previously mentioned in this chapter.

2. DO NOT place hands or feet in conveyor opening.

3. NEVER walk on conveyor covers or gratings.

4. DO NOT put conveyor to any other use than that for which it was designed.

5. AVOID poking or prodding material in conveyor with a bar or stick inserted through openings.

6. ALWAYS have a clear view of conveyor loading and unloading points and all safety devices.

7. Keep area around conveyor, drive, and control station free of debris and obstacles.

8. NEVER operate conveyor without covers, grating, guards and other safety devices in

3.2. Initial Start-up (without material)

1. REMEMBER that the screw conveyor is generally shippedWITHOUT oil. Add oil to drive in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

2. ENSURE before initial start-up that the conveyor is empty, the end bearings and hangers are lubricated, and that all covers, guards, and safety equipment are properly installed.

3. If the conveyor is part of a material handling system, ensure that the conveyor controls are interlocked electrically with those for other units in the system.

4. Check the direction of conveyor rotation in each unit to ensure correct material flow.

5. Operate the conveyor while empty for several hours, making continuous checks for bearings heating, drive misalignment, and noisy operation. If any of these occur, proceed as follows:

a. If anti-friction bearings are used, check the lubricant supply. Either too little or too much lubricant can cause high operating temperatures.

b. Lock out the power supply and check for misalignment in the trough ends, screws and hangers. Loosen and readjust or shim as necessary. If unable to eliminate misalignment, check parts for possible damage during shipment.

c. Check assembly and mounting bolts.

6. Some drive movement may be experienced when operating the conveyor. If the movement is excessive, the cause may be a bent screw, improper installation, hanger bearing wear, or shaft or internal collar wear.

Consult with the conveyor manufacturer for drive specifications.

The Screw Conveyor requires periodic maintenance. If this maintenance is not performed according to the manufacturers requirements, resulting conditions are not covered under the manufacturers standard war-ranty.

3.3. Initial Start-up (withmaterial)

Perform Daily Maintenance before operating the system. See Section 4.2.1, Daily Maintenance.

ACTION TARGET • PO BOX 636 • PROVO, UT 84603 • 801-377-8033 •WWW.ACTIONTARGET.COM 5

Once Daily Maintenance is performed, range personnel can safely engage the auger system. There are two main ways to control the SCS. First, there is a Push Button Start/Stop switch. Second, there is a timer switch control.

3.3.1. Start/Stop Controls

Caution! Check that the conveyor discharge is clear before feeding material!

The user controls for the SCS consist of two buttons: "start" and "stop" as shown in Figure 1.

Note: The exact location of these controls may be different for each installation. In installations where the operation of the SCS can not be detected audibly, there may also be an optional "power-on" indicator light on the user control panel.

Increase feed rate gradually until the rated capacity is reached by following these instructions:

1. To begin operation, depress and hold the start button down.

When proper operating speed is achieved, you may release the start button. If the start button is released before the speed is obtained, the SCS enters a shutdown state and cannot operate properly until the start sequence is executed properly.

2. Stop and start the conveyor several times and allow it to operate for several hours.

3. When use of the SCS is concluded, press the stop button momentarily. This removes power to the unit.

The unit may be safely left in this state overnight or for extended periods of time. If it is desired that the unit be unusable for a period of time, remove power to the system by turning off the main breakers (120V control voltage and 3 phase motor voltage), or turn off and lock the local disconnect.

STOP

Figure 1. Start/Stop Switch

3.3.2. Timer Switch Control Operation

There is a switch labeled, "Auto, Off, Manual" which is located downrange by the auger itself or may be located up-range if the range has wiring for remote control. The auger system may be engaged by turning the switch to a manual or auto mode. Generally, one system or the other will be operational and the other will be disabled.

If the manual mode is operational, turning the switch to "Manual" causes the auger system to run continuously until turned to the "Off" position. This mode should not be left on continuously for more than is necessary to clear the auger of accumulated lead in the trough.

Note: The time left running and the frequency run depend upon range usage.

If the auto mode is operational, turning the switch to "Auto" causes the auger system to run periodically until turned to the "Off" position. This system is controlled through a timer which is located next to the auger controls. Standard recommended setting of this timer should be to run 15 minutes, resting 45 minutes, and running again for 15 minutes. Repeat this sequence until the switch is turned from "Auto" to "Off".

The timer may be reset according to range usage. Follow the manufacturer's instructions included with the

ACTION TARGET • PO BOX 636 • PROVO, UT 84603 • 801-377-8033 •WWW.ACTIONTARGET.COM 6 timer for resetting.

Note: The auger system should never be permitted to fill more than the auger is able to move through the entire length of the trough at one time. Turning on the auger frequently to expel the lead is advised, while leaving on for more than necessary may cause premature motor fatigue. Continual adjustment is need depending on the use and volume of your particular range.

3.3.3. New Ranges and Lead Particulates

It is expected that some level of lead particulates may remain in the trough. It may take some time before lead builds up enough inside the trough to be moved by the screw towards the barrel. The design is not to "clean 100%" of the trough each time the system is engaged, but to remove the majority of the lead towards the take away arm into the barrel.

When the conveyor is running there is a audible sound of the particulates dropping into the barrel. As the sound lessens (decreases), this indicates that the troughs are clear from a running purpose. The 100% clear cannot happen as there is a clearance where some debris settles to the bottombeyond the reach of the screw.

The drum is checked by tapping on its side. When the tapping makes a "thud" sound half way up, then the barrel is full and should be changed out.

Note:Neither "Manual" or "Auto" modes should be left in the on position unless range personnel are present.

The system should be in the "Off" position during non-use times.

3.4. Extended Shut Down

If the conveyor is to be inoperative for a long period of time, it is advisable to permit it to operate for a period of time after the feed had been cut off in order to discharge as much material as possible from the trough.

However, there is a nominal clearance of ½" between the screw and the trough, and this procedure allows a small amount of material to remain in the trough. Therefore, if the material is corrosive, hygroscopic, or has a tendency to harden or set up, the trough should be cleaned completely after the conveyor is shut down and the power locked out.

4. Screw Conveyor Maintenance

Establish routine periodic inspection of the entire conveyor to insure continuous maximum operating performance. Practice good housekeeping. Keep the area around the conveyor and drive clean and free of obstacles to provide easy access and to avoid interference with the function of the conveyor or drive.

1. Lock out power to motor before doing any maintenance work - preferably with a padlock on control.

2. Do not remove padlock from control, or operate the conveyor until covers and guards are securely in place.

4.1. Conveyor Component Servicing

In most cases this involves removing an unserviceable part and installing a replacement. The installation procedures are outlined in the Installation Manual. Specific instructions for the removal of various conveyor components follow.

4.1.1. Conventional Conveyor Screws

To remove a section or sections of conventional conveyor screw:

1. Proceed from the end opposite the drive.

2.Remove the trough end, conveyor screw section(s), coupling shafts, and hangers until all the screw sections have been removed, or until the damaged or worn section(s) is/are removed.

To reassemble:

1. Follow the above steps in reverse order, or see the assembly instructions in the Installation Manual.

Note: Sections of conventional conveyor screw equipped with split flight couplings may be removed individually with a minimum of disturbance of adjacent sections.

ACTION TARGET • PO BOX 636 • PROVO, UT 84603 • 801-377-8033 •WWW.ACTIONTARGET.COM 7

4.1.2. Coupling and Hangers

Replace couplings and hanger bearings when wear in either part exceeds 1/8 “.

Replace coupling bolts when excessive wear causes play.

4.1.3. Lubrication

Lubrication frequency depends on factors such as the nature of the application, the specific parts, bearing materials, and operating conditions.Weekly inspection and lubrication is advisable until sufficient experience permits the establishment of an optimal lubrication interval.

Hint: Follow the manufacturer's initial recommendations for lubrication and then include your operating con-ditions.

4.1.4. Drive

Lubricate the drive following the manufacturer's instructions provided for the speed reducer and other drive components requiring lubrication. Speed reducers are generally shipped WITHOUT oil.

4.1.5. Ball or Roller Bearings

Ball and roller bearings may be furnished in trough ends or hangers. Lubricate in accordance with the manufacturer's provided instructions.

4.1.6. Other Bearings

No lubrication is required for oil-less or graphite bronze, hard or chilled iron, oil impregnated wood, or plastic laminate hanger bearings.

4.2. Periodic Maintenance

Establish routine periodic inspection of the entire conveyor to ensure continuous maximum operating performance. Practice good housekeeping. Keep the area around the conveyor and drive clean and free of obstacles to provide easy access and to avoid interference with the function of the conveyor or drive.

1. Lock out power to the motor before doing any maintenance work - preferably with a padlock on control.

2. Do not remove padlock from control, or operate the conveyor until covers and guards are securely in place.

4.2.1. Daily Maintenance

Before turning on the system, a daily check of the lead level in the barrel must be performed by range personnel. Range personnel should record this check daily in a log.

When the barrel reaches ½ full, the system should not be used until the ½ full barrel has been replaced with an empty barrel. Any time the barrel seal is broken and the lid removed, appropriate safety equipment is required includingHEPA rated protection for lead particulates. To replace the drum, remove the ring seal from the lid, and lift up the lid. Attach the eyelets on the lid to the chains provided on the take away arm. The ½ full barrel should be recapped and sealed before moving.

Note:A pallet should be placed under the new barrel before re-installation.Barrels should be DOT rated along with lids and seals. Reattach the lid to the new barrel ensuring that the ring and seal are intact. The power to the system may be turned back on and the system may now be engaged.

4.2.2. Three-MonthMaintenance

Periodic maintenance of the auger must also be performed and logged by the range personnel. The following procedures must be performed every 3 months or 500 operating hours. Youmay need to perform these steps more often if heavy weather conditions occur during system use.

1. There are "grease zerks" on each end of the auger screw. A typical range consists of a main screw line under the chambers and a take away arm leading to a barrel. Each of these screws has a zerk at each end.

Apply with a standard grease gun until grease may be seen leaving from the bearing.When lubricating, follow all applicable safety procedures. Refer to Section 4.1.3.

ACTION TARGET • PO BOX 636 • PROVO, UT 84603 • 801-377-8033 •WWW.ACTIONTARGET.COM 8

2. There is an oil level that needs checking in the gearbox located next to the motors. When the cap is removed, the oil level should be visible. If low, fill with 90 weight gear oil until visible. The oil should be totally drained and replaced annually with 90 weight gear oil.

Warning!Do not operate without proper oil and oil level in the gearbox!When lubricating, follow all applicable safety procedures. Refer to Section 4.1.3.

3. There is a drive chain located next to each motor. The chain guard cover must be removed and the chain lubricated with a water displacing lubricant. Follow the safety instructions found in procedure 10 when applying lubricant to these parts and frequency according to procedure 11.

4.2.3. Troubleshooting Electrical

Each motor has an overload relay. For a system powered by 480V power, the overload relay is 5-amps. For a system powered by 208V power, the overload relay is 12-amps. There is also a buss fuse for each line of power. 480V uses a 5-amp buss fuse and 208V use a 12-amp fuse. If the system does not respond when the switch is turned to "Auto" or "Manual", these overload relays or fuses must be checked.

Warning! Replacement of relays or fuses must be done by a qualified/licensed electrician!
