DESIGN FEATURES

Advanced structural design and bowl shape: Improves processing efficiency, durability, and machine life.  Bowl has a small rise immediately prior to the discharge gate.

Certified, pressure-vessel materials used to construct bowl supporting chamber:  ConstructedHammond Spiratron Vibratory Machinery bowl design from 3/8" to 9/16" steel to provide high tensile strength and high yield strength.

Polyurethane lining:  Is cast, not sprayed on.  This improves media rebound and provides more wear depth.

Higher amplitude:  Ensures optimum processing capabilities.

Low profile:  Permits convenient access to process controls, media and parts.

Low power requirements:  Reduces costs and increases the working life of the system.  Balanced chamber and angled springs permit optimum energy use.  Lining is canted to improve mass roll and efficiency on larger models.

STANDARD OPERATING FEATURES 

Unique cartridge drive system: Minimizes vibration to the motor and maximizes the working life of
Roto-Finish Spiratron Unique cartridge drive system
Unique cartridge drive system with adjustable drop on eccentric weight system
the drive system.  Designed for easy installation and service.  Two (2) hours or less changeover and our exchange program with in-stock availability make our drive system user friendly and cost effective.  Easy access to all seals.  All seals rotate with shaft to prolong working life.

Adjustable, drop-on eccentric weight system:  Provides quick, simple vibration adjustment to optimize processing time and media/parts separation.  Weight segments are located on each end of a vertical shaft.  An index plate at the top shaft-end has numbered holes to permit selection and repeatability of desired settings.  No tools are required for adjustment on standard weight systems.

Built-in parts/media separation:  Provides rapid, reliable separation of media and processed parts.  Separating gate is built into the process channel and is controlled by manual lever or pneumatic cylinder (which can be timer-operated.) When the separating gate is raised, the contents of the processing channel go straight out over the screen deck.  The media drops back into the process channel and finished parts move to a collection point or to the next production station.

Roto Finish Spiratron's continuous oil recirculation system
 Continuously monitored oil recirculation
Continuously-monitored oil recirculation:
  Ensures that the entire system is getting oiled.  Tied into control panel to prevent start-up without adequate lubrication.

Compound flow-through system:  Provides automatic mixing and metering of compound and water to ensure maximum cleanliness of media and parts.  System is composed of an electrically-operated variable-delivery compound pump that injects the concentrate into a controlled-flow water line.

Multiple pop-in drains:  Carry away soiled solution and simultaneously remove debris, including metal chips, and particulate.  Interchangeable drains of molded polyurethane are available in a variety of opening sizes and shapes to meet specific processing requirements.

OPTIONAL FEATURES

Parts load chute:  Allows for parts loading directly under the parts separation screen.  Allows for maximum machine utilization.

Pneumatic gate:  Allows for power assist.  (Standard on E.R. Series machines 10 cu. ft. and larger.

Dual cylinder gate:  Minimizes part impingement during gate clearing.

Gate clearing:  To prevent parts from being trapped between the gate and screen during the separation process.

Internal wrap-around separation screen and frame:  Increases the amount of screening area available without requiring additional floor space.

External wrap-around separation screen and frame:  Increases the amount of screening area available while allowing easy access to the main process channel.

Media retrieval screen:  Designed to be used in drying units to retrieve processing media, slugs, etc.

Media classification screen:  Designed to remove processing media, slugs, etc., from processing chamber at a predetermined size to minimize media lodging in parts being processed.

Inverse separation screen:  Designed for separation involving parts that are smaller than the processing media.  May also be used for media size maintenance on a scheduled basis.

2" step in screen:  Helps turn parts to assist in removal of media from possible entrapment areas.

Feed-to feature:  Required to transfer parts from one Spiratron® to another when machines are assembled in a series-type system.

Rinse station:  Allows exiting parts to be rinsed with a spray of fresh water.  Located at the end of the separation screen frame, nozzles are placed to provide an even complete rinse.

Spiratron Curved Wall Lining Option

Curved wall lining:
  Prevents light parts from floating on mass and enhances processing speed.

Recirculating inhibit station:  Allows exiting parts to be rinsed with a spray of solution containing an inhibitor to retard oxidation.  The solution is recycled allowing the inhibiting solution to be reused.  Includes:  38 gallon storage tank, 1/3 HP solution pump, solution level float control, compound makeup pump and water makeup with flow meter for proper inhibiting compound concentration.

Flexible fabric noise cover:  Constructed of sound absorbing material between two layers of rubberized canvas.  The cover is securely fastened to the center tube of the machine and is draped across the top of the processing chamber, and is designed to allow free access to any section of the chamber.  The standard Roto-Finish noise cover will reduce the noise level by approximately 2 to 6 dbA.  The major source of noise is from the interaction of media and parts; therefore, we are unable to give exact dbA readings.  Special noise abatement enclosures are available.

 Aluminum noise cover
Aluminum noise cover:
  This cover consists of an aluminum fabrication connected to a counter-balanced cantilevered arm.  Sound absorbing material is open-cell urethane plastic foam at a density of 2.0 pounds per cubic foot.  Foam is applied 3" thick to the interior of the sound cover.  The exterior is painted Roto-Finish std. color.

Hardened steel drain screens:  For proper drainage when extremely small media is required for processing.  The accurately machined slots or holes retain expensive media in the process bowl while allowing for solution drainage.

E.R. SERIES VIBRATORY EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Calculating Machine Capacity There is a tremendous amount of variability, throughout the industry, in the way machine capacity is computed. For your reference, all Spiratron ER Series machines carry machine capacity figures based on the following formula, where C = width of the processing channel and H = center column diameter:

Capacity = (C2 * (H + C))/778
