    FSC removal procedure

    Ref: FLEXICON Spiral Welding Procedure


    FLEXICON Supply of Flexible Screw Conveyor for Transfer of Aluminium Hydroxide IOM
    Prai spiral dimension

    Model 1600 FLEXICON conveyor 4.5m long


    168mm OD SS outer tube
    Heavy duty round wire configuration spiral

    1. Removal of deformed spiral

    Tools
    Angle grinder
    Spanner various size
    Hex Allen various size
    Measuring tape
    Vernier calliper
    Fire fighting tools – FE, Fire Blanket
    Container for hydrate – to verify amount and prepare.
    Additional PPE: Coverall with dust mask.

    1. Removal of deformed spiral


    1.1 Remove all power and potential energy from FSC. Motor to power off and material inlet
    valve to be closed.
    Note:
     LOTO to be applied.
     Drain / or remove material (hydrate) in hopper and line – preparation of container.
    o Hopper manhole and bottom discharge (canvas line)
    o Light air blow, light knocking, poking…

     Perform general cleaning and suitable for further inspection and removal.
    1.2 Fire blanket to be installed at surrounding of area potential spark will fly and ignite any
    material within 2-3mtr.
    Notes:
     Cordon the area and put a standby fire extinguisher.
     Unauthorized personnel keep out.
     Proper PPE to wear.
    1.3 Prior to the opening of the end cap, prepare a small container to intercept the accumulated
    wet hydrate at the FSC tube and on the hopper discharge.
    Some cleaning might require – slow air blow, light knocking
    1.4 Open end cap at entry end of FSC and check condition of the FSC and the entangled piece of
    plastic stick whether can cut and the remove it. Otherwise need to open the charging adaptor
    cover to cut and remove the entangle stick. Close the butterfly valve upon removal of the
    stick.
    1.5 Then check the length of FSC exposure whether it is between 300-350mm. If less than
    300mm, means it probably has stored energy.

    1.6 Proceed to cut the spiral at FSC outlet with angle grinder if the length of exposure is around
    300-350mm (Spiral Exposure). ** TRY TO KEEP AS MUCH SPIRAL POSSIBLE FOR
    WELDING.
    Note:
     After cutting at the point 1, check if manageable to remove the u-bolt without cutting
    the point 2 as shown. (minimize cutting)

    1.7 After removal of the deformed piece, pull out the spiral from FSC bottom inlet.
    Note:
     May contain wet hydrate upon removal.
    1.8 Check the condition of the FSC whether need further assessment for repair.
    1.9 Clean the FSC tube in preparation for the re-installation of the screw.
