5. Loosen and remove the tip retaining fasteners and remove the first tip from the casing. It
may be beneficial to gain access to the outlet of the airlock for easier removal of the tips.
Figure 7-35: Removal of blade tip
6. Check the condition of the replacement tips. Ensure that none are bent and that all four
edges are ‘true’ and undamaged.
7. Insert the new or reversed tip and loosely secure in place to measure the clearance
between the tip and the end plates with reference to
Figure 7-20
and
Table 7-3
. If
necessary, remove the tip from the blade and file to grind the ends of the tip to meet the
minimum clearance requirements. Ensure the tip is not longer than the blade.
8. Loosely secure the tip to the blade with the required fasteners.
9. Follow
Step 4
through
Step 10
of the previous subsection for tip clearance adjustment.
10. Repeat
Step 4
through
Step 9
for each blade, ensuring each blade has been replaced
and properly adjusted as required.
11. Refer to the section
Inlet Wiper Blade
for instructions on the reinstallation or
replacement, and correct positioning of the wiper blade.
12. Clean the airlock thoroughly before conveying any product to ensure any potential
contaminants or debris has been removed.
13. Reinstall or close any components that were removed or opened during installation and
ensure all guards are in place and secured.
14. Run the airlock at operating speed without conveying any product, listening for any signs
of binding or excessive grinding. A light grinding noise is normal and will disappear as
the tips seat fully during the first few hours of normal operation. If the noise persists or is
abnormal, return to
Step 6
above and proceed through the remaining steps to ensure
the tips are undamaged and positioned with the correct clearances.
15. Ensure all components and guards are installed and secured.
