CHAPTER 1
Introduction and Machine Overview
INTRODUCTION
The SWECO separator is a screening device designed
to separate solids from liquids, segregate smaller
particles from larger particles, and to remove foreign
material.
The ZS24 separator consists of a screen, approximately
24 inches in diameter that fits in a steel frame. The
frames are attached to a table tray that is spring
supported to the base weldment. The machine is driven
by a 1/3 HP motor (motion generator) designed to
transmit vibration to the screen. This vibration causes
smaller particles to drop through the screen, while larger
oversize particles pass off the top of the screen.
Figure 1-1 shows the elevation view of a standard ZS24
round separator with two decks (screens) that operate at
1200 RPM. The dimensions represent a standard basic
drive and three 4 inch frames. Other frame stack-ups are
available. The cover assembly, spout connectors, and
self-cleaning kit shown are optional equipment and must
be ordered separately.
The ZS24 is also offered with an extended base and a
micro-drive control mounted to the base (see figure 1-2).
The micro-drive is furnished as standard for all
applications that have a 115 volt, 1 phase or 230 volt, 1
phase line voltage input. The micro-drive is mounted to
the extended base design and shipped loose to be wall
mounted for the standard base design.
Figure 1-3 shows the orientation view of a ZS24 round
separator with either a standard base or an extended
base with two decks (screens) that operate at 1200
RPM.
Before installing, familiarize yourself with its basic parts.
The following illustrations indicate some of the main
components and optional equipment of a ZS24 unit.

unit has been installed, but prior to connecting
electrical power to the motion generator. Once unit
is secured, remove all hardware and red shipping
supports. Retain hardware and shipping brackets
for future moving or shipping purposes.
9. Install spout connectors (optional equipment).
Spout connectors between all product inlet (cover),
product discharge (spouts), and material conveyors
must be flexible so as not to hinder the action of
the separator. When using flexible connectors, a
recommended distance of 10 inches and a
minimum of 4 inches is required between the
separator inlet or outlet spouts and customer hook-
up. The connectors should not be compressed and
should be installed in a vertical position.
10. Clamp rings are used to hold various sections of
the separator in place. Check clamp rings; they
can slightly loosen during shipment. Loose clamps
can result in false vibration. The clamp ring has
3/8" hardware and should be retightened to 32 foot
pounds. All clamp rings MUST be properly
fastened and tight before beginning operation and
rechecked again after one hour of operation. Keep
clamp rings tight to prevent frame rotation and
damage to gasket, frame, or screen.
11. Refer to the following sections Motion Generator
Specifications through Lead Hook-Up and Cable
Color Codes for the electrical hook-up of the
motion generator.

MOTION GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS

The standard ZS24 separator is furnished with a
totally enclosed, non-ventilated (TENV) 1/3
horsepower motion generator (standard speed is
1200 RPM at 60 hertz). A 1/2 horsepower, totally
enclosed explosion proof (TEEP), motion generator
is also available for hazardous locations (see
following sections). Refer to motor nameplate
specifying voltage, speed, and type of your
equipment.
The motion generator will operate satisfactorily with
a 10% variation in voltage, a 5% variation in
frequency, or a combined voltage and frequency
variation of 10%.
The temperature of the air circulating around the
motion generator should not exceed -18°C to 52°C
(0°F to 125°F). If the temperature exceeds this
designated rating, cooling of the air circulating inside
the unit is required. Consult SWECO if the
temperature falls below the designated rating.

VARIABLE FREQUENCY AC MICRO-DRIVE

The ZS24 Separator includes a NEMA 4/12 variable
frequency AC micro-drive as standard for all
applications with a 115 volt AC single phase power
source. A 115 volt single phase motion generator is
not available for either TENV or TEEP applications. It
is required to use the micro-drive to convert from 115
volt single phase to 230 volt 3 phase. The micro-drive
can accelerate start-up or act as a brake during
shutdown. Other features that the micro-drive offers:
thermal overload, preset speeds, forward/reverse
options and is password protected. For other power
sources the micro-drive is not included as a standard
feature since it is not required to convert input/output
voltage but still may be purchased to allow the use of
the other features. Consult your SWECO
representative for information on optional micro-drives
based on your voltage or environmental requirements.

CHAPTER 3
Set-Up Adjustments and Operation
FEED SET-UP ADJUSTMENTS
This section discusses wet and dry feed flow and the
set-up adjustments required to improve product flow.
The material being screened, whether wet or dry, must
be fed to the screen in a controlled flow, perpendicular to
the screen surface and at a constant, even rate of
speed. Flow control devices for both wet and dry
screenings must be used to achieve these
characteristics. Contact your SWECO Representative
concerning the various flow control devices that are
available.
DRY SCREENING
If the final distribution is controlled with baffles or other
flow control devices, dry material may be fed by any of
the commonly used conveyors or feeders to ensure
constant, even flow perpendicular to the screen surface
(see Figure 3-1).

WET SCREENING
The wet screening device shown in Figure 3-2 is a
velocity reducer recommended for liquid feed to
control the velocity and distribution of the material
onto the screen.

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MOVEMENT

The SWECO separator is a screening device that
vibrates on a spring system generating three-
dimensional motion. The force wheels located on the
upper and lower ends of the motion generator shaft
accomplish vibration. The top force wheel creates
vibration in the HORIZONTAL plane, which causes
material to move across the screen cloth to the outer
edge. A high force setting causes a large amount of
horizontal motion, whereas a low force setting causes
a small amount of horizontal motion.
The bottom force wheel controls the VERTICAL
motion of the unit and the pattern that the material
forms when moving across the screen. The lead
angle controls the pattern of material flow. A high
force setting causes a large amount of vertical motion,
whereas a low force setting causes a small amount of
vertical motion. The bottom force wheel is also used
to set the lead angle. The lead angle controls the
pattern of material flow (refer to the next section titled
Material Travel Patterns for lead angle information).
For the best screening efficiency adjustments to the
vertical, horizontal and lead angle may be necessary.
Adjustments will vary with the characteristics of the
material. A heavy, coarse or wet material usually
requires more vertical action that is produced by a
large force on the bottom force wheel. A lightweight,
very fine material may require less vertical action,
achieved by a small force on the bottom force wheel.

of solids present. The required pattern will also vary
due to specific gravity, opening size of the screen cloth,
screen analysis of feed, and feed rate.
Material pattern can be adjusted by changing the lead
angle setting. This change is made to the bottom
weights with respect to the top weight setting. (NOTE:
For standard operation the motion generator rotates
counter-clockwise when viewed from above). Figure 3-3
shows the screen patterns obtainable when you change
the angle by which the lower motion generator force
leads the upper one.

HIGH VOLUME DE-WATERING

When using the SWECO separator for high volume
de-watering, it is advantageous to have a build-up
of oversize material shaped in a ring on the screen
(see Figure 3-4). This roping effect acts as a dam
causing the water to go through the screen rather
than flowing out of the spout with the solid material.
Roping also causes the solid material to stay in the
separator longer, therefore, extracting more water.
Roping is achieved by setting the bottom force to a
high lead angle.

ECCENTRIC WEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS

The SWECO separator is a screening device that
vibrates on a spring system generating three-
dimensional motion. Vibration is accomplished by the
eccentric weights located on each end of the motion
generator shaft.
For the best screening efficiency, adjustments to the
eccentric weights may be necessary. Adjustments will
vary with the characteristics of the material and the
weight settings.
Before making any weight adjustments, check
vibration amplitude per following section. After vertical
or horizontal amplitude have been determined, refer to
following instructions for adjustments to the eccentric
weights.

3-6 SWECO
Set-Up Adjustments and Operation Vibro-Energy Separator ZS24

VIBRATION AMPLITUDE
Horizontal and vertical amplitudes can be easily
measured to evaluate and understand separator
performance. To analyze the motion of the separator,
a vibration gauge sticker (SWECO part #S48K02147)
is provided to help measure vibration amplitude (refer
to Figure 3-5). This sticker is attached to the outside
frame diameter of the machine near the screen level.
The stationary gauge measures both horizontal and
vertical motion independently.
To read the vibration amplitude, while the machine is
running, observe where the triangular lines cross. The
number closest to the line crossing will be the
vibration amplitude in 1/16″ increments. If an
amplitude sticker is not available, use a felt tip marker
to make a dot on the frame. A ruler can then be used
to measure the horizontal and vertical amplitude on
the motion.
Maximum amplitudes are based on motor speed.
CAUTION Check the nameplate of the motion generator for

TOP FORCE WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS

The top force wheel controls the horizontal motion of
the unit. A greater force increases the horizontal
amplitude. If the material being screened is sticky or
viscous and does not travel properly on the screen, it
may be necessary to increase the top force.
Adjust the top force as follows (refer to Figure’s 3-10

weight plates need to be positioned at equal
distances (the same number of slots) from the lead

plate close together increases the force and
positioning the weight plate apart decreases the
force.

SELF-CLEANING KIT
It is essential that the screens be kept clean for the
unit to operate properly. The SWECO Self-Cleaning
Kit (optional equipment) prevents the screens from
becoming dirty or blinded (product accumulated
between the screen wires). It also prevents material
from sticking to the screen, which will improve dry
sizing and liquid/solid separation. The Self-Cleaning
Kit is held between the separator frames by the
outside clamping ring. When the separator is in
operation, the sliders bounce and rotate between the
perforated plate and the separator screen (see figure
5-4). The bouncing and rotating action of the
cleaning sliders dislodge mesh-clogging materials
and scrape away fibrous materials that tend to stick
to the screen cloth.

Piggybacking of sliders can stretch or tear the screen.

To prevent this problem, replace the sliders when they
have worn to a minimum height (see Figure 5-5).
