Service & Maintenance

Important

Carefully inspect the metering auger and orifice

for wear or damage. A damaged metering auger

or orifice can adversely affect metering accuracy.

Note that a characteristic of the UHMW augers is

they tend to flare at the outer edges due to friction

with the product. Note that this has no significant

effect on the auger's output.

Important

If the auger flighting is being changed, the press

in orifice may also need to be changed. When

changing the locations of metering augers,

move both the flighting and orifice, or move the

entire metering auger assembly from one tank to

another.

Figure 10.47 - PDM Pro Metering Auger Removal

CAUTION

Metering auger flighting may

become sharp!
Do not use hands to remove

product through tank clean-

outs.

10.3.8.1 Metering Auger Removal

10.3.8.1.1

Removing Auger

Use the procedure listed below when removing the

PDM Pro metering augers. Refer to

Figure

10.47

1. Ensure the driven end of the metering auger

shaft (#28) is free of rust or corrosion.

2. Loosen the chain idler sprocket (#39) and

remove chain (#6).

3. Loosen set screws on torque limiting clutch

(#15) and remove from end of shaft.

4. Loosen the bearing locking collar (#16a) on the

driven end of the metering auger shaft (#28).

5. Remove the two bolts (#31) from the bearing

housing (#4b) on the non-driven end of the

metering auger.

6. It may be necessary to gently tap the auger

shaft (#28) on the driven end of the metering

auger with a soft punch or wooden block to

loosen it in the bearing (#4a).

Pull the metering auger flighting (#28) out of

the metering auger housing (#2).
a. The bearing housing (#4b), and gasket

(#9) on the non-driven end of the auger

will also come out with the metering auger

flight.
