WHAT TO KNOW WHEN CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR INDUSTRIAL FEEDER
Clean, dry parts and a clean system are essential for optimum feeder performance. The frequency of the cleaning schedule is entirely dependent upon the operating environment. In conditions that are less than ideal, it may be necessary to perform cleaning procedures once a day, once a shift, or even more frequently. In very clean environments, once a week or less may be adequate. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to determine and adhere to an appropriate cleaning schedule.
It's also important to note the primary cause of decreased system performance is the presence of oil and/or debris within the system from either the parts or product atmosphere — DO NOT oil the drive springs.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER SWITCH AND DISCONNECT POWER SOURCES WHILE PERFORMING CLEANING PROCEDURES.
PARTS
- Parts must be clean and lubricant-free.
- DO NOT reuse parts that have run through the system without first cleaning them.
BOWL AND HOPPER
- Remove all parts before attempting to clean.
- Remove any visible debris and foreign objects.
- Clean by wiping down with lacquer thinner, acetone, or enamel reducer and a clean cloth.
DAILY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Inspect the system for the presence of debris or oil and perform any necessary cleaning procedures.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Inspect the system for proper tightness of all nuts, bolts, and screws to be sure the machine is in safe working condition. Specifically, turn off the power to the bowl and check the drive unit bolts, the bowl's center bolt, all top and bottom spring clamp bolts, toe clamp bolts, and the coil bolts.
