OPERATOR’S MANUAL
6. If necessary, repack the bearing with grease, refer to
Step 8
to
Step 15
of the above
section
Rotor Shaft Bearing Grease Packing
.
7. If necessary, refer to
Section 11: Parts List
to identify the correct replacement for the
seal plate if it shows any signs of damage or wear, and replace the seal plate.
8. Reinstall all components that were removed with reference to
Step 16
to
Step 22
of the
above section
Rotor Shaft Bearing Grease Packing
.
9. Repeat
Step 3
to
Step 8
for the other end plate.
10. Refer to the section
Rotor and Blade Tip Clearances
to ensure the rotor is properly
positioned with the correct clearances.
11. Ensure all guards have been installed and secured before operation of the airlock.
Torquing of Bolts and Fasteners
To ensure all components are properly positioned, secured, sealed, and that the assembled
airlock will function properly, the fasteners used to assemble the airlock must meet the required
torque specifications. It is possible that some fasteners may loosen slightly during operation, so
it is important to retorque the fasteners to maintain full functionality and preserve the safety of
the airlock. Refer to
Section 8: Specifications
for the required torque for each fastener.
Rotor and Blade Tip Clearances
To maintain the seal between the inlet and outlet and efficient operation, the airlock requires a
close fit between the tips of the rotors and the casing. Excessive clearance allows ‘blow-back’ of
air from the discharge to the inlet of the airlock leading to uneven flow and reduced
performance. Routine maintenance of tip clearances is especially important when conveying
materials with high abrasion characteristics and may need to be performed more often if it is
noted that the tips consistently exceed the maximum clearance at the recommended
maintenance interval.
To check the tip clearances, proceed as follows:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop and lock-out the power source, and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
3. Gain access to the airlock inlet by opening an installed access point or removing a
portion of the inlet structure. Refer to the auxiliary equipment’s operator’s manual to
determine the correct method of access to the airlock inlet.
