PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING THE BLOWING
PLATE AIR SEAL
To minimise air loss and maintain good blowing performance it is important
to periodically replace the seal cord in the blowing plates once it becomes
flattened and worn. (Note: Plates shown below are black plastic, machines
may also be fitted with stainless steel)
Remove the old seal from the groove in the plate and remove any
residual adhesive.
Offer up a length of Ø2mm seal cord (2m provided) and cut off to the
correct length; this should be long enough to cover the flat section in
the bottom of the groove.
Apply a small amount of adhesive at critical points around the groove
(near bends etc). CBS Products Ltd recommends the use of 3M Scotch
Weld 847 for this purpose.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU DO NOT
USE SUPERGLUE ON BLACK PLASTIC PLATES AS THIS WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE MATERIAL.
Place the seal into the groove ensuring it is properly located into the
groove the whole way around.
Wipe off any excess adhesive.
