CRITICAL POINTS THAT DRAMATICALLY
AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE BLOWN
FIBRE BLOWING MACHINE
Cord seals in air chamber correctly fitted to provide good sealing.
Correct blowing plates fitted.
Tube fully connected and pressure-tested.
Tube connecting fittings are suitable for operating at compressor
supply pressure.
Accelair 2 lid securely tightened.
Compressor capacity is suitable for size of tube being used.
Fibre pan must be close to the machine, the fibre should leave the
pan freely and enter the machine horizontally.
Air chamber, drive wheel and blown fibre must be clean and free
from debris, glass beads, sludge, dirt, water and lubricant.
The fibre must be hand guided into the machine.
Ensure the compressed air supply is not applied to the fibre until
approximately 30 metres of fibre has been installed or the machine
begins to slow down.
The compressed air moisture content needs to be carefully
controlled, it should be dry enough to prevent moisture forming in
the tubes yet not so dry to cause a static build up – CBS Products
recommend the use of an air dryer with a bypass.
