Housekeeping in simple words means maintaining a workplace on a daily or long term basis or looking after its cleanliness, tidiness, upkeep and smooth running.

Raw Material Loading

Old Raw material must be processed first, loading of fresh Raw material before old Raw material leads to increased FFA in Raw material. Raw material must be weight each time before loading, this unable to calculate capacity utilisation, etc.
Offals must be washed before loading, this is reduce water quantity & FFA. Raw material collected from floor must always be processed through RM Bin. Any inclusion of metal in Raw material may lead to unexpected breakdown.

Routine Maintenance

Grinder Holder Knife replacement. Reactor Bearing Greasing. Shear pin check (Bush & Coupling). Loader Arm Oiling. Metal Detectors Belt Bearing Greasing. Decanter Greasing. Dryer Burner Filter Cleaning. Hammer Mill Magnet surface Cleaning. pH Probe Cleaning & Calibration (pH= 4.5). Metal Detector Sensitivity Check.

Geared Motor & Gear units:

Gear units require only a minimum of maintenance which is confined to regular checking of Oil levels.

Greased packed bearing should be cleaned and regreased every 10000 working hours, care being that only 1/3 of free volume of bearing is filled with grease in order to avoid overheating of bearing.
Particular attention should be paid to motor by removing all deposits from between the motor cooling fins and also from the air intake on fan guard.

Pre-Breaker & Chain loader

Never clean the Rotor before the power to motor has been switched off and insulated. The rotor is cleaned with high pressure cleaner. If it is not possible to clean the rotor without rotor rotating, make sure that no one get hurt. Direct flushing with high pressure water, etc on lifting chains, side tubes should be avoided. The chain and central slide tube should be cleaned regularly of old grease and dirt followed by a new greasing. That is of special importance in bottom of loader at chain wheels where greasing substance etc tend to accumulate.

Decanter

CIP of Decanter is carried in 2 steps: High Speed CIP at full bowl speed followed by Low Speed CIP at speed corresponding to 50- 150 rpm

Allana Sons Ltd

Since 1865

Decanter: High Speed CIP

CIP flow to feed tube of Decanter should be 7000 l/hr at 3 bar. In most cases, Water alone cannot remove the dirt and deposits. Chemicals such as sodium hydroxide (Caustic soda) 1-1.5% to ensure pH value of 12 -13. Nitric acid (HNO) with concentration 0.5% can be used as supplement to caustic cleaning.

Allana Sons Ltd Since 1865

Decanter: Low Speed CIP

CIP flow to feed tube of Decanter should be 2000 l/hr. Bowl rotating direction can be reversed at certain intervals to achieve washing machine effect. This results in mechanical cleaning effect on bowl & conveyor. CIP liquid recovered is polluted with sludge and need to be rinsed before it is re-used.

Allana Sons Ltd Since 1865

Decanter: SS Vessel Cover

All the locking nuts must be properly tighten. Gear box shielding cover must be properly bolted. Cleaning of SS Vessel cover & Decanter frame must be done on daily basis.

Since 1865

Separator: Frame/ Motor

Never wash down a separator with a direct water stream. Totally enclosed motors can be damaged by direct hosing to same extent as open motors.

Water directed on hot motor may cause condensation and subsequently produce grounding and internal corrosion.
The external cleaning of machine should be restricted to brushing sponging or wiping while the motor is running or is still hot.

Since 1865

Screw Conveyors
Safety circuit of Screw conveyor must be checked at regular interval. After 100 hours operation (weekly): Trough & screw flights must be checked for abnormal wear. Geared motor alignment must be checked. On chain transmission the chain alignment & tightening must be checked. Coupling & bearing must be checked for wear. When operated & maintained correctly , screw conveyor is dust tight.

Since 1865

Hammer Mill

Stone trap at bottom of Grinding chamber must be cleaned for any foreign matters. Grinding chamber must be cleaned with brush or a scraper.

H. Mill screen must be cleaned with brush.

The use of Hammers which are not dimensionally stable may cause great imbalance in rotor upon exchange of hammers. The number of hammers in each row must be same.

Allana Sons Ltd

Since 1865

Bucket Elevator

Elevator belt must be checked for wear at least once a year. Elevator head wear plate must be checked once in a year. Elevator belt must be tighten at least twice a year. Speed guard stop function must be checked by releasing bottom belt pulley & lifting it. (Guard must disconnect the main motor) Reverse brake must be checked, Brake is designed to prevent reverse operation.
