SULZER CONFIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
Inspection & Safety Recommendations
In common with other items of process plant a grinder must be installed correctly to ensure
satisfactory and safe operation. The grinder must also be maintained to a suitable standard.
Following these recommendations will ensure that the safety of personnel and satisfactory
operation of the grinder is achieved.
When handling harmful or objectionable materials, adequate ventilation must be provided in
order to disperse dangerous concentrations of vapours. It is recommended that wherever
possible, Sulzer grinders should be installed with provision for adequate lighting, thus
ensuring that effective maintenance can be carried out in satisfactory conditions. With certain
product materials, a hosing down facility with adequate draining will simplify maintenance and
prolong the life of grinder components.
System Design & Installation
At the system design stage, consideration must be given to provision of filler plugs, and
the installation of non-return and/or isolating valves where applicable.
Handling
During installation and maintenance, attention must be paid to the safe handling of all
items. Where a grinder or its components weigh in excess of 20 kg (45 lb) it is
recommended that suitable lifting tackle should be used to ensure that personal injury
or damage to components does not occur.
Do not attempt to lift the grinder using only one lifting point. Extreme caution should
be observed for personnel safety when lifting heavy objects.
By design the cutters have sharp edges. Great care must be taken when handling. The
use of protective gloves is recommended.
STORAGE
Grinders are dispatched from our factory with the cutter chamber sprayed with a moisture
repellent coating and ready for immediate installation and operation.
Should the machine be stored or left stationary for any length of time it is recommended
that the cutter stack is re-sprayed with anti-rust lubricant and that the shafts are rotated
monthly.
Failure to do this may result in a higher frequency of reversals and in extreme cases the
machine to seize due to the tight running clearances of the individual cutting elements
during commissioning and initial start-up.
The controller should be stored in a controlled dry environment to prevent moisture buildup
causing corrosion of contactors and other metallic components.
The grinder is protected by a PLC control unit set to the correct
operating philosophy. Only PLCs supplied or approved by Sulzer should
be used. Failure to observe this requirement may cause premature
machine failure and could invalidate the warranty of the machine. It is

8Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instructions
Grinder – 10000 Open Channel Series
SULZER CONFIDENTIAL
also important that the PLC be correctly wired into the panel.
Before installing the grinder please ensure that all plugs and
inspection plates are replaced.
Electrical
Electrical connection should only be made using equipment suitable for
both rating and environment.
Where any doubts exist regarding the suitability of equipment, Sulzer
should be consulted before proceeding.
Earthing points will be provided on electric drives (if supplied) and it
is essential that these are correctly connected. The electrical
installation should include appropriate isolating equipment to ensure
that the grinder and drive assembly is safe to work on.
General safety
All guards and removable. Maintain-in-place covers must be in place and
securely fitted while the machine is running.
All nuts and bolts, securing flanges and base mounting fixtures must be checked for tightness
before operation.
If, when starting, the grinder does not appear to operate correctly, it must be shut down
immediately and the cause of the malfunction established before operations are
recommenced.
May contain substances from the ECHA SVHC Candidates List (REACH - Regulation (EC) No.
1907/2006).
Guards
In the interests of safety, all guards must be replaced after necessary
adjustments have been made to the grinder.
WARNING / CONTROL DEVICE
Prior to operating the grinder, if any warning or control devices are fitted, these must be set
in accordance with their specific instructions.
Rotate grinder drive motor 1-5 minutes every 3 months if stored either by hand or by
applying power to the motor. Check for grinder drive lubricant leakage. Contact Sulzer if leakage
exceeds 6ml.

9Installation and Operating Instructions
Grinder – 10000 Open Channel Series
SULZER CONFIDENTIAL
Sulzer is not liable if local or international regulations are not followed or for damage caused
by wiring errors or improper shielding. Use lifting equipment rated for the weight of the grinder
minimum attached to all the grinder top cover lifting rings as shown to lift the grinder. Verify the
grinder flow arrows, located on the side of the grinder, point in the direction of flow.
Prior to installation/commissioning.
•Check external hardware as gasketed areas may have a tendency to loosen fasteners.
Retighten if loose.
•Check paint for any slight damage and touch up if necessary. Standard Sulzer colour
(RAL 5002).
NOISE LEVELS
The sound pressure level will not exceed 70 dB at one metre distance from the grinder. This
is based on a typical installation and does not necessarily include noise from other sources or
any contribution from building reverberation.
EXPLOSIVE PRODUCTS / HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES
In certain instances the product being pumped may well be of a hazardous nature. In these
installations consideration must be given to provide suitable protection and appropriate
warnings to safeguard personnel and plant.
LUBRICATION
At 10,000 hr intervals, bearings, gears and seal assembly inspection should take place along
with gear grease replenishment.
Under tropical or other arduous conditions, however, more frequent lubrication may be
necessary. It is therefore advisable to establish a suitable maintenance schedule or periodic
inspection to match service conditions.
Open channel grinders should be isolated from flow prior to servicing.
Attach 3-phase motor power
and any optional thermostat
