Visual Inspection

Operational Checks

Mechanical Components

  • Visually examine the wear liners for any visible signs of wear.
  • Use a gauge to measure the thickness of the liners.
  • Check for any cracks or loose sections.
  • Record any findings for further analysis.
  • Inspect mounting brackets for signs of bending or cracking.
  • Ensure that support structures are stable and secure.
  • Look for any rust or corrosion on metal components.
  • Tighten any loose brackets as needed.
  • Refer to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
  • Use a torque wrench to check the tightness of bolts.
  • Replace any stripped or damaged fasteners.
  • Document any adjustments made during inspection.
  • Examine joints and connections for any signs of leakage.
  • Check the pipe surfaces for cracks or corrosion.
  • Ensure that all gaskets are intact and functioning.
  • Report any issues for immediate repair.
  • Use a flow meter to measure the current feed rate.
  • Compare the reading to the manufacturer's specified range.
  • Adjust the flow rate as necessary.
  • Document the flow rate for maintenance records.
  • Visually inspect the vortex finder for wear.
  • Check for any blockages or build-up of materials.
  • Ensure proper alignment with the cyclone body.
  • Clean or replace if necessary.
  • Check that underflow and overflow outlets are aligned correctly.
  • Inspect fittings for signs of wear or damage.
  • Tighten any loose fittings to prevent leaks.
  • Document the condition of the outlets.
  • Perform a visual inspection of the entire body.
  • Look for surface cracks or signs of deformation.
  • Use a non-destructive testing method if necessary.
  • Record any findings for future reference.
  • Monitor the output quality and flow rates.
  • Compare separation data to manufacturer specifications.
  • Adjust operating parameters if efficiency is low.
  • Log performance metrics for analysis.
  • Check valves for smooth operation when opened and closed.
  • Inspect for leaks around seals and gaskets.
  • Ensure that all valves are functioning correctly.
  • Replace any faulty valves immediately.
  • Use a level to check the orientation of the hydrocyclone.
  • Make adjustments to the mounting if misaligned.
  • Ensure that the base is secure and stable.
  • Document any corrections made.
  • Inspect all metal surfaces for discoloration or pitting.
  • Look for rust or other forms of corrosion.
  • Clean affected areas and treat with corrosion inhibitors.
  • Report severe corrosion for further evaluation.
  • Identify wear parts that show significant wear or damage.
  • Order replacement parts from the manufacturer.
  • Schedule replacement during planned downtime.
  • Keep records of parts replaced for maintenance history.
