1. Safety


Follow Safe Operating Procedures

• Do not operate Stir-Ator unless shut off chain has been properly installed and adjusted.

• Exercise care when starting Stir-Ator in a full bin of grain. Augers can be stuck in the grain causing damage to the Stir-Ator or bin.

• Operating the Stir-Ator during bin unloading can be beneficial to the unloading process as well as prevent auger damage.

• Do not bury the Stir-Ator. Burying the Stir-Ator will damage the bin and will void the warranty.

• Do not operate the Stir-Ator in an empty bin. Damage to the Stir-Ator and bin can result.

• When not operating the Stir-Ator for extended periods oftime or in some cases while emptying the bin, it is best to position the trolley at the bin wall to eliminate possible damage to the Stir-Ator or bin.

ST-0011-2

Stay Clear of Rotating Parts

• Do not enter the bin while the equipment is in operation.

• Entanglement in rotating augers will cause serious injury or death.

• Keep all guards and covers in place at all times.

• Lock-out power source before making adjustments, cleaning, or maintaining equipment. ST-0008-2

Operate Motor Properly

• All electrical connections must be made in accordance with applicable local codes (National Electric Code for the US, Canadian Electrical Code or EN60204 along with applicable European Directives for Europe). Make sure equipment and bins are properly grounded.

• Lock-out power before resetting motor overloads.

1. Safety


Maintain Equipment and Work Area

• Understand service procedures before doing work. Keep area clean and dry.

• Never service equipment while it is operating. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts.

• Keep your equipment in proper working condition. Replace worn or broken parts immediately.

ST-0003-1

Avoid Falls During Service and Installation

• Use proper fall protection equipment.

• Anchor the bottom of any ladder being used in a bin or silo to prevent it from slipping.

• Use rubber pads or other anti-slip devices to prevent the ladder from slipping on the bin floor.

• Exercise caution when using a ladder to perform work in a partially filled grain bin. The ladder may sink into the grain and cause a fall.

• Because the equipment is suspended from chains in the center, be cautious of positioning ladder against the equipment. The equipment can move or swing from the weight of a person climbing on the ladder.

• When setting a ladder against the equipment, a vise grip or other type of tie down should be used in the front and back of the track drive unit. This keeps the equipment from rolling or sliding around the bin while service work is being performed.

• During heavy service work, such as removing auger drive, electric motors, or replacing electrical swivel, tying the ladder to the main frame or other solid component is advised.

• Never climb out on the main beam or augers from the ladder or roof manhole. The equipment can swing, causing a fall.

• Do not climb Stir-Ator down augers to make adjustments or repairs. Slipping can cause falling, bodily injury or both.

• If an unusual amount of service work needs to be performed, consider lowering the unit onto sawhorses. ST-0010-2

ST-0054-1

Use Stir-Ator Equipment Properly

• Exercise care when starting the Stir-Ator in a full bin. Augers can be stuck in the grain which can cause damage to the Stir-Ator or the bin.

• Burying the unit will damage the bin and will void the warranty.

• Do not operate the Stir-Ator in an empty bin.

• To test the unit in an empty bin:

— Make sure no one is inside the bin.

— Turn power “on” and “off” immediately.

• Letting the Stir-Ator operate in an empty bin will cause damage to the unit and the bin.

1. Safety


Maintenance

1. Stop the Stir-Ator and all other machines BEFORE entering the bin.

2. Ensure the isolator switch is locked into the “OFF” position, with the only key in the possession.

3. Due to the height of the Stir-Ator in a bin, it is recommended that routine maintenance be carried out with the bin full, working off boards laid on top of the grain.

4. If access to the Stir-Ator is required when the bin is completely or partly empty, a safe means of access must be used, preferably using a working platform.

5. If using a ladder, DO NOT place the ladder against the Stir-Ator carriage unless it has been securely clamped on either side to prevent movement. Failure to do this could cause a fatal accident. Note that drying floors in grain stores may be slippery and therefore the ladder should be securely fixed before attempting to gain access.

6. When setting a ladder against the Stir-Ator, a vise grip or some type of tie-down should be used in the front and back of the track drive unit. This keeps the Stir-Ator from rolling or sliding around the bin while service work is being performed.

7. If an unusual amount of service work is to be performed on a Stir-Ator, removing the augers and lowering the unit to the floor of the bin may be the safest way to repair the unit.

8. Caution needs to be exercised when using a ladder to perform service work in a partially filled grain bin. The ladder can sink into the grain causing it to fall.

9. Notice of noise and dust hazard: The Stir-Ator runs at noise levels below 70 db and should not present any risk to hearing. Decals indicating the possibility of dust are provided in the owner’s manual bag and should be installed per the diagram shown on Pages 13 and 14. Dust may be created as a normal part of the stirring function of the Stir-Ator augers and although no person should be in the bin during the stirring operation, some residual dust may remain in the air after the Stir-Ator has been turned “OFF”. The level of dust will vary depending on the condition of the grain. Operator’s should assess the risk to themselves and others, as required in the EU under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations. They should then implement appropriate control measures to reduce the risks to health.

10. If attending to stuck augers, NEVER attempt to release the auger without isolating the Stir-Ator first.

11. Before restarting the Stir-Ator, ensure that there is no one remaining in the bin and that the bin access door is locked/closed.

12. Remember to replace all guards before restarting.

When working on or around the Stir-Ator, it is essential that a safe system of work is strictly followed. Failure to do so may result in serious injury to the operator. Before carrying out any work on the Stir-Ator.

1. Safety


Installation1. The correct installation procedure is outlined in this manual.

2. Always install all recommended safety devices, such as safety isolators, grain level switches and door isolators. Failure to do so is a misuse of the equipment and may result in unsafe operation.

3. Always use the recommended flexible cable (type HO7). Failure to do so may result in damage to the electrical cable and risk electrical shock.

4. All electrical wiring should be in accordance to EN60204:2006.

5. All electrical installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified electrical engineer.

6. The system and all associated steel work must be safely earthed.

Operation1. Read and understand the owner’s manual.

2. Keep all safety shields in place.

3. Prior to inspecting, servicing, lubricating or adjusting the Stir-Ator, ensure the isolator switch is locked in the “OFF” position, with the only key in the possession.

4. Do not operate the Stir-Ator unless shut off chain has been properly installed and adjusted.

5. NEVER enter the bin while the Stir-Ator is in operation.

6. In the event that an auger becomes bound, the system should be switched OFF, isolated and locked OFF before any attempt to release the auger.

7. Operating the Stir-Ator during bin unloading can be beneficial to the unloading process as well as prevent auger damage.

8. DO NOT OVER FILL THE GRAIN BIN. BURYING THE STIRRER WILL DAMAGE BIN AND WILL VOID THE DESIGN III WARRANTY.

9. DO NOT OPERATE DESIGN III STIR-ATOR IN AN EMPTY BIN.

4. Installation

GSI RECOMMENDS THAT YOU REFER TO THE GRAIN BIN INSTALLATION/USAGE MANUAL, BEFORE INSTALLING THE STIR-ATOR, TO CHECK FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BIN TO CARRY THE STIRRING AUGER SYSTEM.

On a new bin installation, we recommend the stirrers be installed as the bin is assembled, allowing much of the work to be carried out at ground level.

Where stirrers are being retrofitted into existing bins, suitable access and lifting gear will be required inside the bin.

Track1. Track must be installed at the correct level below eaves to ensure the stirrer does not foul the roof or

other objects in the bin. See Figure 4F on Page 18 for recommended minimum dimensions.

NOTE: Internal ladders must be removed before installing stirrers.

2. Mark the correct height and drill an 8 mm hole. Note aim to drill on the top of the corrugation rather than bottom to ensure the bracket fixes level.

3. Using the connector plate (A) and track bracket (B) as a template, drill a second 8 mm hole (See Figure 4A.)

Figure 4A Track Installation

4. Start with the end of the track pre-drilled with two (2) holes. Fix the track through the bracket and wall.

5. Using the hole in the track and bracket as a guide, drill the next hole and install an additional track bracket (B) and bolt (C), repeating this procedure around the bin. (See Figure 4B.)

6. The final piece track will need to be cut and drilled to butt up to the first. Ensure no rough edges are left and that the track is level and even all around the bin. (See Figure 4C.)

Figure 4C Cut Final Piece to Fit

7. Any long bin bolts (D) adjacent to the track should be cut back or reversed to ensure they do not foul the track wheels when fitted. (See Figure 4D.)

Figure 4D Check clearance between long bin bolts.

Suspension Chain InstallationSuspension chains can now be lowered through the roof center hatch.

1. Space the suspension hooks equally apart around the center fill-hole collar. Note position in relation to the safety shut off switch (to be fitted later). (See Figure 4E on Page 18.)

2. Lock the hooks in position using the holes provided.

3. To prevent the stirrer from moving on the rails we recommend locking it in place with vise grips.

4. Now position the center of the stirrer so that it is higher than the track drive unit. Refer to the table below for the correct height difference for the bin diameter.

Bin Diameter Height Difference between Center and Side

Up to 18' (5.5 m) 25 mm

Up to 27' (8.2 m) 40 mm

Up to 36' (11.0 m) 55 mm

Over 36' (11.0 m) 70 mm

4. Installation


Connection to Power Supply

Stir Guard

1. Stir guard is a safety timer system designed to shut off the augers in the event that the track unit is unable to move the Stir-Ator around the bin. This prevents damage to the grain.

Install Augers

1. The stirrer auger may need to be cut to length so that it hangs at least 75 mm above the highest point on the floor of the grain bin.

2. In a bin with no sweep auger and just a flat floor, the highest point must be taken as the floor immediately adjacent to the bin wall.

3. If the bin is fitted with any sweep or floor augers, auger must be measured from the highest part of the floor auger.

4. To measure the auger rod length, position the trolley directly above the highest point, insert a tape into the auger stub shaft and measure to the highest point. Remove 75 mm from this height to get the required auger length.

5. Measure the length on the auger rod and cut to length. ONLY CUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE AUGER. NEVER FROM THE TOP.

6. Use a small grinder to remove any burrs from the cut edge.

7. To prevent the auger flight from coming away at the cut end the flight should be welded to the rod using 20 mm tack welds, starting at the end of the flight and rod and in 2 further positions within the first pitch of flight. (See Figure 4AI on Page 34.)

It is essential that the Stir-Ator is supplied via a safety isolator located at the eaves hatch of the bin. This must be rated to IP 65 minimum and have a current rating no less than 32 amps. The switch must also be lockable.

Once the auger is installed into a grain bin, the bin becomes a hazardous environment. No-one must ever be in the bin when the auger is operating.

GSI recommends the installation of safety switches on the personnel door so that whenever the door is opened all equipment stops automatically and cannot be restarted without the door first being closed and the operator restarting at the main control panel.

GSI recommends the installation of suitable emergency stops to stop all equipment within the bin in the event of an emergency.

This is the responsibility of the installer and a requirement under the CE directives to which this installation must comply. Failure to do so can endanger life and will invalidate any warranties and guarantees.

9. Slide the auger into the stub shaft and align the holes in the stub shaft and auger shaft.

10. Place the auger clamp with spring pin over the holes so the spring pin is inserted into the auger. (See Figure 4AK.)

Figure 4AK Insert Auger into Stub Shaft

11. To replace the auger, unbolt the auger clamp and remove clamp and spring pin. This will allow the auger to be removed.

12. At this stage it is wise to manually move the auger trolley up and down the frame to check that there is free movement and that the power cables are all able to move freely without becoming tight and risking damage.

Place Caution Decals1. Place the warning and caution decals provided as shown on Pages 13 and 14.


5. Electrical Installation

ATEX Rating

The Stir-Ator is rated for use in a hazardous dusty location, in accordance with ATEX zone 22D. All electrical equipment, enclosures, conduits and cable glands used inside the silo or on the Stir-Ator must comply to the same, or better standard.

Control System

The Stir-Ator will require a suitable control system, designed and tested in accordance with EN60204. Recommended wiring diagrams are given below on Pages 39-46 and include the following required features:

1. Door interlocking and emergency stopping safety circuit.

a. This must be to a minimum performance level (PL) ‘c’ in accordance with EN13849.

b. Door switches, to SIL3, are required for each personnel entry to the silo.

c. Emergency stop switches are required at the control position and main silo entrance as a minimum. Further may be added in accordance with a site risk assessment.

2. Main power isolation switch is required at the control panel.

3. A service disconnect switch is required at the eaves hatch to provide complete disconnection of the power to the stirrer for purposes of servicing.

4. Motor overload protection.

5. Short circuit protection.

6. Earth leakage/residual current protection.

7. Low impedance protective earth (PE) circuit to each electrical component and conductive surface.

In addition the following features are recommended:

1. Sequential auger starting. A time delay of approximately 5 seconds between starting auger 1, 2 and 3, to reduce auger beam impact and starting currents is recommended.

2. ‘Stir-guard’. Maximum run and maximum stop timers are recommended for the track motor, to shut the system down in the event that the stirrer tracking system is mal-functioning. Maximum run time recommended is 2 minutes. Maximum stop time recommended is 30 minutes. In the event that these times are exceeded, the Stir-Ator should be stopped.

3. Tilt switch ‘de-bouncing’ timer. A 2 second on-delay timer is recommended to reduce the risk of contact bounce on the Stir-Ator tilt switch.

Electrical installation must be carried out by a suitable qualified electrical installer, in accordance with EU Directives, regulations and local laws.



Tilt SwitchTwo (2) options of tilt switch are offered and allowance is made for early 1 phase and later single phase track motors.

1. Mechanical pendulum type switch with 3 phase track motor. Refer to wiring diagrams on Pages 39-42.

1. Ensure all power is disconnected.

2. Connect a test meter between COM on TILT1 micro-switch and N.C. on TILT2 micro-switch. (See Figure 5Q.)

Figure 5Q Meter Connection Points

3. Ensure the auger trolley and tilt switch are perfectly horizontal.

4. The meter should be indicating that the circuit is closed (track motor running).

5. Rotate the augers back to 7° from vertical and fix in that position. (See Figure 5R.)

Figure 5R Auger Rotation

6. Now adjust the tilt switch angle so that the meter indicates that the circuit has just opened.

7. Rotate the auger slowly back towards vertical and note that the switch should re-close at approximately 1° before vertical.

8. Rotate the auger back and forth to check adjustment.

9. Replace cover on the tilt switch enclosure.

6. Start-Up

Start-Up in a Full BinStir-Ator augers may become compacted when grain has built up around them and the augers have not been running. Wherever possible we recommend that augers be run as soon as there is 1 m depth of grain covering the augers. However, if for any reason the augers have had to be allowed be covered whilst not running or have stood for a period of a time in a full bin, follow this procedure:

1. Initially try a normal start-up by pressing the start switch ON the control panel. If the augers have not become compacted they will run and should continue running.

2. If the augers are compacted and cannot run, shut the power OFF and lock it so that the augers cannot start inadvertently. Never attempt to start the augers whilst doing this.

3. Entering via the eaves hatch, place wooden planks on the top of the grain so that you can stand safely.

4. Place a long handled vise grip or wrench on the top of the auger shaft and turn the auger by hand to release it.

5. Repeat procedure for other stuck augers.

6. Exit the bin; remove wooden planks; and re-start the auger.

TO HELP PREVENT AUGER COMPACTION, WE RECOMMEND THAT DURING THE STORAGE PERIOD THE AUGERS BE STARTED AND RUN FOR 15 MINUTES EVERY WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP THE AUGERS POLISHED AND HELP PREVENT COMPACTION.
