9. SWITCHING ON AND SETTING UP OF SGC

If necessary, install a loading and discharge conveyor so as to ensure a continuous
process of separation.
1. Switching on of SGC
• Reset the «Emergency stop» button by turning it.
• Turn the «Network» knob to the «On» position, and when the power starts, the
«Network» indicator will light up.
• There is a speed control knob on the frequency converter, set it to the minimum
position.
• Turn on the frequency converter by pressing the RUN/STOP button.
• When the mesh starts moving, by selecting, choose the required speed of the mesh
movement.
• If necessary, reverse mode can be used by pressing the FWD/REV button on the
frequency converter.
• To switch off the mesh movement, press the RUN/STOP button.
• SGC is switched off by turning the ignition switch to the «OFF» position.
• Emergency shutdown of SGC occurs by pressing the «Emergency stop» button.
2. Setting up of SGC for working modes.
• Switch on SGC as above.
• Ensure uninterrupted supply of material. During the operation of the grain cleaner,
the operator must monitor the uniformity of the material to be separated.
• With the help of the speed controller, select the speed of the mesh in such a way
as to ensure the maximum separation of large and small fractions. It should be
remembered that increasing the speed of the mesh movement improves the selection
of large fractions, but at it is necessary to ensure that the pick-up and release of grain
material into the waste funnel does not occur.
• In this mode, with the correct configuration, the SGC can discard up to 60% of waste
from the source material, depending on the quality of the material being fed. The
operation of the SGC in this mode allows the cleaned material to be fed into the tray
for the removal of calibrated material. When installing SGC as an additional unit on
ADS separators, the calibrated material will be fed directly to the receiving hopper of
the separator for further cleaning or calibration. This combination of machines is the
most effective during the selection of seed material and allows you to increase the
productivity of the separator, while maintaining the high quality of calibration.

• In order to obtain the highest quality pre-cleaning, it is necessary to make
sure that the eye of the calibration grid on the frame corresponds to the size
of the sampled material and, if necessary, replace the frame with the mesh.
It is necessary to remember:
An increase in the productivity of SGC is possible until the quality of
the preliminary cleaning of the material deteriorates, or until the
release of the material together with the garbage begins. For different
cultures, the threshold of deterioration of pre-cleaning is different, and
therefore the operator determines it himself
