Outlining the preliminary essential steps for setup and initial operation:
Please review and follow all safety and maintenance procedures outlined in the user’s manual prior to operating any VYKIN machinery.
Prior to crushing any material:
1. Unloading:
1a. Please see next section below for instructions on how to safely unload your machine.
2. Fuel & Lubrication:
All tanks come bone dry, please ensure all tanks are filled appropriately:
2a. hydraulic oil tank (>90-100%);
2b. diesel fuel tank;
2c. engine coolant tank;
2d. grease all lubrication points (Refer to the maintenance section below for specific locations and manual for grease type.)
3. Material Inspection:
3a. Please check the type of material and make sure it is a non-hazardous waste material.
3b. Ensure the material’s feed size is compatible with the crusher’s feed opening and selected gap setting (and screen mesh).
3c. Ensure material is (relatively) dry material — the 90-IC can handle a variety of materials, but wet / sticky material can reduce efficiency.
4. Initial Operation:
4a. Position the crusher on a stable, level surface.
4b. Start the crusher and let it run idle for a few minutes to warm up.
4c. Begin with a slow and steady feed rate, gradually increasing it while monitoring the crusher’s performance.
4d. Pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations, and stop the machine immediately if any problems occur.
4e. Check all belts, guards, and safety features are in place and functioning correctly.
5. Initial Break-In Period & Maintenance:
5a. During the first week of operation, check all bolts, lock nuts, pins, fittings, fasteners and connections every 3-4 hours. Then check and tighten all bolts and fasteners periodically, thereafter.
5b. Please refer to the maintenance schedule found both on the machine and the operation’s manual (manual contains specific instructions).
5c. Conduct frequent inspections of the blow bars and apron settings for wear and tear — and regularly clean screen decks to prevent material buildup ensuring efficient separation (replace damaged screens promptly to maintain product quality and prevent downtime). Adjust the apron gaps as needed to maintain consistent product quality and prevent downtime.
6. Feed Rate and Material Flow:
6a. Start with a slow and steady feed rate, gradually increasing it while monitoring the crusher’s performance and material flow.
6b. Avoid overloading the crusher, as this can lead to inefficiencies and potential damage.
6c. Monitor the feed material and remove any uncrushable materials, such as steel or large metal objects, to prevent damage to the crushing chamber.
Important Notes:
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact VYKIN customer support for assistance.
Wireless remote is found in the control panel.
Please be advised your crusher will be delivered on a RGN or a flat rack / bed (see photo below for reference). To unload your machine from the truck — you can (1) track it out by remote:
The extra accessories and crate of additional wear parts will be placed on top of the machine, in hopper / separate pallet.
Video Timestamps:
00:11 to 02:13 Startup, pairing remote, and driving the machine (for reference, to drive the crusher forward — push both left and right levers forward on the remote controller)
02:14 to 03:18 Starting the crusher and screener
03:19 General maintenance schedule
Page 57 in manual for filling hydraulic oil tank. After 50-hours, filter the hydraulic oil for any metal filings during break-in period.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule found both on the machine and on page 39-40 in your user’s manual (manual contains specific instructions).
10 Grease Points:
Troubleshooting:
Engine Maintenance:
(See Diesel Engine manual attached on engine for its maintenance schedule)
Check the flywheel belt tension monthly. You should be able to push down on the belts just enough to get an inch or so of flex on single banded belt units (or fit a finger or two through the gap on units with individual belts).
NEVER run the jaws if you hear them hitting each other or any other metal-on-metal clanking. Severe damage to the machine can occur.
Before the start of each shift, you need to do the prepatory work before starting. This should primarily be focused on re-tightening any bolts, nuts, and other connections — and lubricating all grease points.
8.0 Maintenance Schedule
* 8.1 Be sure to grease the jaw bearings and housing daily before operation.
* 8.1 Be sure to grease the jaw bearings, jaw housing, and all other daily before operation.
* 8.2 Check for loosened bolts on frame and jaw brackets weekly.
* 8.3 Check rubber skirting integrity around conveyor weekly.
* 8.4 Check wheel lug nuts for tightness weekly.
* 8.5 Check fly wheel belt tension monthly. You should be able to push down on the belts just enough to fit a finger or two through the gap on units with individual belts, an inch or so of flex on single banded belt units.
* 8.6 Check the conveyor belt tension monthly. The belt should not be slipping while running under load.
* 8.7 Check the gear oil in the conveyor belt drive roller every 6 months. Rotate port to 9 or 3 o’clock and fill to that level.
* 8.8 Check the grease port on the jaw motor every six months. 10-15 pumps of grease should be sufficient.
* 8.9 Check the vibration motor foundation integrity every six months and be sure the bolts are tight.
