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 screening any material:
1. Unloading:
1a. Please see next section below on how to 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 videos in 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 screener’s feed opening and selected screen mesh sizes.
3c. Ensure material is (relatively) dry material — such as soil, compost, concrete, demolition waste, topsoil. (Not suitable for wet material.)
4. Initial Operation:
4a. Position the screener on a stable, level surface.
4b. Start the screener and monitor its performance.
4c. Observe the material flow and adjust settings as needed to achieve optimal screening efficiency.
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. After the first 50 hours of operation, filter/replace the hydraulic and engine oil (refer to the manual and videos below for specific instructions).
5c. Conduct frequent inspections of the screen mesh 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.
6. Feed Rate and Material Flow:
6a. Start with a slow and steady feed rate, gradually increasing it while monitoring the screener’s performance and material flow.
6b. Avoid overloading the screener, as this can lead to inefficiencies and potential damage.
6c. Choose the appropriate screen mesh size based on your desired output product and feed material characteristics.
Important Notes:
Remember:
The VYKIN 80-S is a powerful and efficient screening machine. By following these simple steps and referring to the user’s manual, you can ensure safe and productive operation.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact VYKIN customer support for assistance.
Wireless remote is found in the back panel, behind the control panel.
Please be advised your screener will be delivered on a flat rack / bed (see photo below for reference). To unload your machine from the truck — you can either (1) track it out by remote, or (2) use a forklift:
The extra screens and crate of additional wear parts will be placed on top of the machine, in hopper.

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.
