2.8 Description
The QA450 is a self contained tracked machine built to withstand the rigours and conditions of oper-
ating in quarries and within the construction industry. The QA450 utilises a diesel engine to provide
the power to the hydraulic power pack and to generate electricity for the electrical systems of the ma-
chine.
The tracks, hopper, conveyors and all other working parts of the machine are all hydraulically driven.
Where possible all of the moving parts of this machine are guarded, where not, warnings are provid-
ed. The Safety Section of this manual must be read and fully understood. Any residual organisational,
personal and environmental issues must be fully addressed as detailed in the safety section.
This equipment has been manufactured and assessed to be in accordance with the Machinery Direc-
tive 98/37/EC.
Section 2 and 4 of this manual provides details of Transport, Commissioning and Operation this must
be read and fully understood before operating this equipment.
Material is loaded normally by excavator into the hopper where material falls onto the hopper con-
veyor. The material is then fed into the main conveyor.
The material then travels up the conveyor where at the top it transfers onto the screen box, the ma-
terial passes over a series of meshes which separates the material into 4 grades.
The larger and medium grades are separated onto the side conveyors leaving the fines to travel up
the tail conveyor. Each grade falls into separate piles around the machine.
• Diesel hydraulic power via Deutz BF4M 2012 engine - 74.9 kw (100.4 hp) - water cooled.
• Main conveyor has variable speed and variable angle to facilitate the handling of the widest
range of material.
• Separate hydraulic adjustment of the screening angle of each screen box giving over twenty
different combinations of screening angle.
• Self-loading hydraulic bogie gives independent road transportation without the use of low
loaders.
• Optional double deck vibrating grid. This handles the most heavy difficult material and produces
three precise grades from the screen box.
• Each screening unit of the QA450 system has a uniquely high inertia ensuring that superb
separation is carried out over the full surface of the screen deck.
• Steel pipe runs used in hydraulic system gives improved temperature control and extended hose
life.
• Hydraulic walkways deploy in seconds, giving low access height and safe working area for
maintenance and mesh change.
• Granite
• Slate
• Bricks
• Limestone
• Recycling/ Demolition
• Asphalt

When operating the screener without the mesh for short periods, it is recommended that
the clamp bolts be tightened.
Tighten all the tension bolts ensuring that the mesh clamp is secure against the hopper. Repeat for
each clamp. Inspect regularly (50 hours) and ensure that all clamps remain secure.
When the mesh is not used for longer periods (200 hours) of operations, it is
recommended all tension bolts and clamps be removed.
Completely remove all tension bolts, nuts and clamps. Failure to remove the mesh clamps may result
in damage to the hopper.
3: L/H side conveyor feed control. 4: R/H side conveyor feed control.
Note! The QA450 must always be loaded from the rear of the hopper from as low as height as possible,
this will ensure both speed and efficiency.
A signal is sent to the timer allowing the rams to open fully and remain open for 2/3 seconds then
close fully, thus tipping the grid and returning it back to rest.
A signal is sent to the unit allowing the rams to lower while the button is depressed.
***quick stabbing of these buttons will give the grid a "shaking action"
A signal is sent to the unit and stops the engine from running, thus stopping all hydraulic power.
1. The timer for operation of the grid tipping will have been pre-set at the factory.
2. It may be necessary to reset the timer during the working life of the unit, or in different
temperatures.
Maintenance is essential for ensuring the best possible performance from your QA450 by reducing
the chances of breakdowns.
All adjustments to set screen & vibrating grid speeds, maximum engine revs or hydraulic system must
be carried out by trained Sandvik Service Engineers. When performing any maintenance on the
machine refer to engine manufacturer’s handbook for appropriate maintenance schedules.
Hot coolant can cause serious burns. To open the cooling system filler cap, stop the
engine and wait until the cooling system components are cool. Loosen the cooling
system pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the pressure.

5: HOPPER SIDE SKIRTS - To adjust side skirts open all clamp plates and push wear rubbers down on
to conveyor belt by using a screwdriver or similar tool through the holes provided on top of the clamps.
When adjustment is complete re-tighten all clamps securely.
Note! Make sure bottom of clamp is no more than 10-15 mm above belt.
6: MAIN CONVEYOR - To adjust wear rubbers loosen both clamps, one either side of the feed boot and
pull the wear rubber down to the conveyor belt ensuring a good seal all along the feed boot and re-
tighten the clamps securely.
7: SIDE CONVEYOR -To adjust wear rubbers loosen both clamps, one either side of the feed boot and
pull the wear rubber down to the conveyor belt ensuring a good seal all along the feed boot either side
of the chevron conveyor belt. Re-tighten clamps securely.
8: TAIL CONVEYOR -To adjust wear rubbers loosen the three clamps, one at rear and one either side of
the feed boot. Pull the wear rubbers down to conveyor belt ensuring a good seal is maintained along the
side of the feed boot. This may also be achieved by sliding the feed boot up or down on its support legs
as required, by loosening six nuts and six bolts, one on each leg. Adjust the boot to the height required
and re-tighten the nuts and bolts securely.
If required, adjust belt scrapers by loosening bolts in rosta springs, adjusting scraper and re-tightening
bolts. (Both sides should be adjusted simultaneously.)
Sandvik Screens & Crushers Ltd use SKF sealed-for-life bearings that reduce grease consumption,
lower life cycle cost, lower recycling costs and reduce pressure on the environment. The results are
dramatically increased up time for the machines and the consequent reduction in maintenance costs.
Only apply grease where otherwise indicated.
Using suitable equipment, the following bearings must be greased every week. See following picto-
grams for details of grease points.
Every 250 hours, the following maintenance must be carried out to ensure the best
performance and least possible breakdowns from your machine.
1. Follow maintenance instructions laid out in engine manufacturers handbook.
2. Inspect condition of conveyor belt and tracking.
3. Inspect and adjust belt scrapers.
4. Inspect and adjust wear rubbers.
5. Inspect condition and tension of screen mesh.
6. Inspect condition of all belt drums.
7. Check for hydraulic leaks on pipes.
1. Tensioning and tracking of hopper conveyor should be done initially with the hopper empty.

WARNING!
Grease under pressure can cause serious injury. Never unscrew a track adjuster valve
by more than a ½ turn, when the track is under tension.
After maintenance or over time the track will become slack and will have to be adjusted. The adjust-
ment of the tracks operates through a tensioning cylinder (C). When the cylinder is filled with grease
it extends and pushes the spring tension unit (B), and the idler (A), forward. The grease is filled
through the track adjuster grease valve (D).

1: Track Adjustment
In order to establish if the track requires tensioning, move the Host machine a few metres forwards
and backwards on level ground. This allows the tracks to adopt their natural degree of tension.
Note! It is also important that the track is not tensioned too tightly as this places excessive loads on the
gearbox and idler bearings. It will also lead to accelerated wear and premature failures.

1. Remove the inspection cover on the side of the track frame as shown at (F).
2. Ensure that the track adjuster valve (H), is tight.
3. Attach the special grease gun connector (G), to a grease gun and fit it onto the track adjuster
valve (H).
4. Pump grease into the valve until the droop of the track is correct.
5. Move the Host machine backwards and forwards a few times more and then re-check the
droop. Add more grease if required.
6. Check for any escaping grease around the tensioning unit and finally close the inspection
cover when finished.
1. Remove the inspection cover on the side of the track frame as shown at (F).
2. Loosen the track adjuster valve (H), by turning it one half turn anticlockwise.
3. Grease should now escape slowly from the track tensioning cylinder and the track should
slacken.
4. If the track fails to loosen, apply a little pressure to the idler end of the track to push the idler
group in.
Follow maintenance instructions laid out in the magnet manufacturer’s handbook. See “ERIEZ MAG-
NET MODELS CP & OP INSTRUCTIONS IM-108GB-(F.01)” on page 221.
Sandvik recommend that the hydraulic hoses are replaced after 5 years.

MODELS CP & OP
INTRODUCTION
Suspended, permanent magnet heavy-duty separators are designed for use over a moving bed of material from
which iron is to be removed. Basically, they are box-shaped units containing blocks of permanent magnet
material, arranged to produce a powerful magnetic field. The block arrangement determines the magnetic
circuit configuration, designated CP or OP.
Two simple methods of cleaning the extracted ferrous material from the surface of the magnet are available;
manual cleaning (Fig. 1) or self cleaning (Fig. 2). There is a wide range of sizes available for either style and
separators can be mounted in-line with the conveyor belt (Position 1) or across the conveyor belt (Position 2)
to suit customer requirements.
Manual cleaned magnets are designed for use when tramp iron contamination levels are small. Periodically, it
is necessary to remove the accumulation of tramp iron, either by hand or with a moveable stripper plate.
Where large amounts of tramp iron require separation, self-cleaning magnets are more practical. The
construction of the magnet box is the same as for the manual cleaning magnet, with the addition of a short belt
conveyor built around the assembly to provide an automatic discharge for the tramp iron.
WARNING
THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS MAGNETISED MATERIAL AND MUST BE TREATED WITH UTMOST
CAUTION TO SAFEGUARD AGAINST INJURY.
x Do not allow the pole faces to face each other. Opposite polarity poles will come together with
considerable force.
x Take care when using ferrous tools or ferrous parts near the pole faces.
x Do not place pre-recorded tapes, computer disks, or credit cards near the
magnet box since this could cause erasure.
x Keep all delicate mechanisms, such as mechanical watches, away from the
magnet.
x Do not drill or weld near the magnetic unit without first seeking the advice
of: ERIEZ MAGNETICS EUROPE LIMITED
INSTALLATION
General
When unpacking, take care to avoid damage to the equipment and possible personnel injury - the magnet
assembly is very powerful and permanently charged. Remove loose ferrous material closer than 600 mm to
the magnet box. Spanners and other tools within the vicinity where the equipment is to be installed could
become magnetically induced and be attracted to the magnet box with considerable force. Also, when installing
OP magnets check that the unit is in the correct orientation, with the heavy steel end poles at right angles to the
direction of material flow.
Magnet Position
Figure 1
x At the working suspension height the centreline
of the magnet should be approximately
perpendicular to the trajectory of the material and
Figure 2
A separator mounted over a moving bed of material at right angles to the conveyor is referred to as Position 2
(Figs. 3 and 4). This installation usually requires a stronger magnet than Position 1 since tramp iron at the
bottom of the burden is more difficult to extract.
x The efficiency of magnetic separators in Position 2 is dependent upon the speed of the conveyor
carrying the feed. As conveyor speed increases above 100m/min separation efficiency may fall.
x Manually cleaning suspended magnets should be installed on the centreline of the material conveyor,
Fig. 3. Self-cleaning suspended magnets should be installed with the trailing edge of the magnet box
immediately above the outer edge of the conveyor idler. Refer to Fig. 4.
Figure 3 Figure 4
Suspension Height
The magnetic strength and configuration of an OP/CP separator is selected for a specific suspension height
and application. The suspension height quoted should be considered a maximum.
When setting the suspension height, Fig. 5, lower the magnet as close as possible to the top of the burden,
without interfering with the material flow. If the unit is self-cleaning, ensure that the separator belt is clear to
operate freely whilst carrying tramp iron. Failing to do this could result in tramp iron being knocked back into
the non-magnetics.
A clearance of 75 mm between the magnet face and the top of the product burden / trajectory should be
maintained for self-cleaning units; this clearance can be reduced to 50 mm for manually cleaned units.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the self-cleaning belt as this could damage the bearings. The equipment
is designed to operate with belt sag of approximately 25 mm.
Figure 5
Burden Depth
One factor in achieving optimum separator performance is to control the burden depth.
x Position 1 installation. The installation location is calculated on product throughput. Any variation
from this will change the trajectory of the product material with respect to the working surface of the
magnet and could result in poor separation.
x Position 2 installation. A plough or leveller installed before the magnet will remove high spots or
surges in material flow.
COMMISSIONING
Self-Cleaning Separators
After installation, examine for any obvious visual damage; in particular check that the frame is square and has
not been twisted.
Momentarily close the power supply switch to the belt drive and check that the belt is tracking properly and is
not wandering laterally. Never start the belt drive and allow it to run continuously until the belt is properly
trained. If the belt wanders, note the direction and adjust as follows:
Self-cleaning magnet belts run on two pulleys, one fixed and the other adjustable. The adjustable tail pulley has
approximately 10 mm of take up available for both belt stretch and tracking. To track the belt, the tail pulley
should be adjusted to tighten the belt on the same side to which the belt is seen to wanders.
MAINTENANCE
Self-Cleaning Separators
x Belt tracking should be checked frequently and adjusted as necessary. Refer to COMMISSIONING
x Lubricate the bearings on a schedule consistent with other equipment in use at the site for the product
and environment.
x If the unit is installed within a separate enclosure, provision must be made to the construction of the
enclosure to gain easy access to moving parts.
x Check the self-cleaning belt for damage and, if necessary, replace as follows:
Vulcanised Belt
Replacing a vulcanised belt requires the self-cleaning gear to be dismantled after the separator has been
removed from its installation. This is a major operation and is not always practical. An alternative method is to
replace the belt in situ.
