    Sur-Drop Ball Injector

    Operating and Maintenance Instructions

    SAFETY WARNING:

    IMPORTANT:

    All personnel must be thoroughly trained regarding


    operation and maintenance requirements.

    From this point on, ensure that the screw does not turn
    until Ball Injector is ready for operation.

    Improper use, operation, or disassembly under


    pressure can cause serious injury or death.

    III. MANUAL OPERATION:


    Install lid 2 . Make sure that screw does not turn while lid
    is being installed on housing 1 . If necessary, use 3/8"
    open-end wrench to hold screw top shaft stationary.

    I. DESCRIPTION:
    The Weir SPM Sur-Drop Ball Injector is a positive feed ball
    injector which has a maximum non-shock cold working
    pressure based on the type of body and union connections
    on the housing base. With the following union connections,
    the maximum NSCWP is as shown:
    2 Figure 1502
    2 Figure 1502 H2S
    3 Figure 602
    3 Figure 1002
    3 Figure 1502
    3 Figure 1502 H2S

    Install manual handle 16 . Reset counter to zero. Install


    locking pin in handle. Ball injector is ready for operation.
    Remove locking pin, rotate handle clockwise to drop balls.
    Every complete rotation will drop four balls. The crank
    handle should always be locked when not in use.

    15,000 psi NSCWP


    10,000 psi NSCWP
    6,000 psi NSCWP
    10,000 psi NSCWP
    15,000 psi NSCWP
    10,000 psi NSCWP

    IV. REMOTE OPERATION:


    A.) Connecting Remote Actuator (see Fig. 2):
    Install lid. Make sure that screw assembly does not turn
    while lid is being installed on housing. If necessary, use 3/8"
    open-end wrench to hold screw top shaft stationary.

    The Sur-Drop will handle perf balls from 5/8" to 1" by


    means of one of three interchangeable screw assembly
    cartridges. Each screw assembly is marked for easy
    identification. The manual Sur-Drop comes equipped with
    an actuation handle which has a resettable counter that
    displays the total number of balls dropped. An optional
    Remote Control Assembly (see Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, and Fig.
    4) is available for 12-volt remote operation from up to 150
    feet away from the Sur-Drop Ball Injector.

    Install remote actuator 1 onto ball injector. The coupling


    on the actuator shaft has a mating hex that will fit the top
    shaft of the screw. Fit is accomplished by moving the screw
    shaft slightly with the 3/8" open-end wrench. The actuator
    will then slide over the lid handles. Engage the actuator by
    turning slightly counterclockwise and engage restraining
    device (may be detent pin or locking lever depending on
    model).
    Connect the control cable from the actuator 1 to the
    control panel 2 . The externally wrapped cable on the reel
    connects to the actuator whereas the shorter cable end
    under the cover in the center of the reel connects to the
    control panel. The power cable is connected from the
    control panel 2 to a convenient 12V. D.C. power source
    (such as an automobile battery). Ensure polarity of clamps
    are as shown on the tags. Remote operation is now
    possible.

    Capacity of the Sur-Drop is as follows:


    Ball Size
    5/8 & 3/4
    7/8 & 1
    1-1/8 & 1-1/4

    Qty
    165
    130
    100

    II. SETUP:
    A.) Loading Manually (see Fig. 4):

    WARNING:

    Remove handle 16 and lid 2 , or if the unit is rigged for


    remote operation (see 1A24334, item 1), remove the
    remote actuator by raising locking lever; turning the remote
    actuator slightly clockwise to disengage L slot and lifting.
    Then remove the lid 2 by releasing setscrews and turning
    counterclockwise. Ensure that the correct size cartridge for
    the ball size to be run is installed. To change cartridge,
    remove inner housing assembly 30 and change screw 5
    as desired. When replacing inner housing assembly 30 ,
    ensure that the hole in the top ring of the assembly is fully
    engaged on the guide pin 27 in the ball injector housing
    1 .

    Connecting the clamps to the battery opposite to


    that shown on the tags will cause the actuator to
    run backwards which will result in malfunction of
    the equipment.

    Load the desired quantity of balls in the screw assembly


    cartridge by placing balls in each of the four open slots in
    the top of the cartridge. Using the manual handle 16 ,
    rotate the screw one complete turn and load four more;
    and so on until the desired quantity are loaded or until the
    maximum capacity is reached. Rotate the balls to the
    bottom ensuring that balls are not dropped until actual
    operation is desired.

    B.) Remote Operation (see Fig. 2 & Fig. 3):

    To drop balls:
    1. Turn power selector switch to ON.
    a. The counter should power up (if not, check Fuse 1).
    2. Set counter preset value.
    3. Push the green START button.
    a. The START button should light up.
    4. Select the direction to run the motor.
    a. Motor will start and run until counter is done when
    running in the forward direction (FWD).
    5. To rotate in reverse direction (REV), select with toggle
    and then push the REV. JOG button.
    a. Motor will only run while push button is pushed.
    6. In the forward direction (FWD), once the counter is
    done, select the toggle switch to the OFF position and
    reset the counter.

    The ball injector will drop the preset number of balls. Each
    time the switch is actuated to the 'FWD' position the ball
    injector will drop the preset number of balls until the supply
    is exhausted. During this time the green color bulb will be
    on. One line on the counter will dynamically display the
    number of "balls dropped", while the other line shows the
    "balls to drop".
    If for some reason a ball does not drop, it may be necessary
    to reverse direction. For that, simply return the toggle
    switch to reverse position (REV) and then push the "Jog.
    Rev" button as many times as needed to loosen the ball
    jamming condition. Then return the toggle switch to the
    OFF position. When the toggle switch is turned back to the
    FWD position, the counter will not start re-counting until
    returning to the previous stopping point, thus avoiding
    double counting balls. The operation will then be resumed
    normally.
    If during the course of dropping balls it is necessary to stop,
    simply return the toggle switch to the "OFF" position, and
    then the power switch to the "OFF" position. When the
    power switch is turned back to the "ON" position, it will be
    as if starting the operation over from the beginning. For
    instance, when the toggle switch is actuated to the FWD
    position, the injector will drop the preset number of balls, if
    they are loaded.
    When the operation is completed, disconnect all cables,
    clean and wrap control cable onto reel. Re-install caps on all
    end connectors. The ball injector should always be flushed
    with clean water after each job.

    WARNING:
    Improper operation, use or disassembly under
    pressure can result in serious injury or death.

    V. MAINTENANCE:
    General Practice (see Fig. 4):
    For maximum safe operation, all seals should be checked for
    nicks and cuts and proper sealing after each job.
    To change seals, o-rings and back-up rings, removal of the
    appropriate components will be necessary. See the
    Troubleshooting Guide to follow.
    Make sure all seal surfaces are smooth (32 RMS), and free of
    any nicks or burrs. Lightly coat seals and back-up rings and
    seal surfaces with petroleum jelly prior to installation.
    All threads should be clean, free of any foreign material, and
    coated with anti-seize or moly coat prior to assembly.
    All ball injector parts should be thoroughly cleaned and
    inspected during routine maintenance. Do not use parts
    with badly worn, cracked or missing threads. Inspect the
    housing 1 and housing base 3 for excessive wear and
    replace, if necessary. Make sure the screw assembly
    cartridges rotate freely and inspect stop plate in the bottom
    of the housing 1 for wear.

    represent the components required for the new style ball injector assembly. This assembly is easily identified by the "fully
    machined" helical screw (within the external housing). The "original" style ball injector is identified by the welded helical screw.
    The service kit will include all necessary components for both the original and new style ball injector.
    The following drawings represent the various configurations available for the ball injector. Contact Weir SPM Sales for available
    sizes and models.
