The installation of the screening bucket

The installation and commissioning of the screening bucket require precision and careful attention. Before commissioning the screening bucket, it’s crucial to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the accompanying user manual and safety guidelines.

Prior to installing the screening bucket onto a new machine, ensure their compatibility. It’s important to verify that the lifting capacity of the host machine aligns with the technical specifications of the screening bucket. Additionally, the hydraulic system of the host machine must meet the requirements of the screening bucket’s features. Following installation, ensure that the quantity of hydraulic oil is adequate to achieve the necessary pressure.

Confirm the compatibility of the attachment points between the screening bucket and the host machine and securely join the mating parts. Once the screening bucket is connected and securely fastened, link the hydraulic system of the machine to the screening bucket. Simultaneously, it’s crucial to inspect the compatibility and condition of hoses and connectors. Clean and properly secured connectors are essential to ensure a tight connection.

After the screening bucket is in place, its operation must be thoroughly checked while adhering to safety instructions. It’s highly important to prevent pressures from exceeding maximum values. Additionally, it’s recommended to record flow rates and pressure values related to operations for future reference and troubleshooting purposes.

Correct installation and commissioning of the screening bucket ensure its safe and efficient operation. Diligent adherence and attentiveness during operation are key to achieving the best results.

Using a screening bucket

Using a screening bucket isn’t difficult if you’re already familiar with operating the base machine. Practices and fine-tuning related to the screening of various materials and aggregates are easy to grasp quickly. It’s always wise to apply common sense while using the screening bucket. Proper usage ensures successful work and a prolonged lifespan for the bucket, avoiding unnecessary maintenance and repairs.

Before starting actual work, always ensure the condition, maintenance, and safety aspects of the screening bucket. It’s also advisable to let the hydraulic oil warm up slightly before beginning actual usage. During operation, it’s essential to monitor that the power output remains at the level required for screening and that there are no disruptions in the screening bucket’s functioning.

When screening different materials, it’s crucial to consider their specific differences. Additionally, it’s important to note the effects of moisture on the material’s screening properties. Also, ensure the proper filling of the bucket—do not overfill it, as this might cause unprocessed material to spill over the edges, reducing the quality of screening.

While Vipermetal screening buckets are built to endure and filter various materials, it’s essential not to use the bucket for materials it’s not intended for. If the screening bucket is misused, causing the equipment to malfunction, we reserve the right to consider the broken product outside warranty terms.
