in place by screws attached from the outside of the
reclaimer; remove the screws to remove the wear plate.

12.1.2
Remove what remains of old caulking from the
reclaimer and top plate.
12.1.3
Insert the new wear plate into reclaimer inlet until
it is in position with the straight end at the reclaimer inlet.
Use locking pliers, clamps, board (2 x 4), or other means
where needed to pry the wear plate against the side of
the inlet and inner wall. Make sure the leading edge of
the wear plate is aligned with the reclaimer inlet and that
the top edge is even with the top of the reclaimer.
12.1.4
New self-drilling sheet metal screws are
provided with the wear plate and are match-drilled
through the old screw holes into the wear plate at each
screw hole location. Rearrange the clamp(s) as needed
to press the wear plate against the reclaimer wall when
installing screws through the old holes.
12.1.5
Reattach the top plate.
12.1.6
To avoid rapid wear, apply RTV caulk to fill gaps
at the seams on the top and bottom of the wear plate.
12.1.7
Reattach the inlet adaptor pipe, replacing the
gasket if worn, compressed or otherwise damaged.
12.2
Replacing Rubber Reclaimer Liners, Figure 8
The reclaimer must be designed to accept liners and
have a removable top. If the reclaimer is currently
unlined, begin at the installation note preceding
Paragraph 12.2.9.
12.2.1
Remove the flex hoses from the reclaimer inlet
and outlet.
12.2.2
Remove the bolts and nuts, securing the
reclaimer top, and then remove the top, top liner and
tube (inner cylinder) liner.
12.2.3
Grind the tack welds from the bottom of the tube
liner that secures the tube liner to the tube, then slide the
liner off the inner tube.
12.2.4
Remove the bolts located along the side of the
inlet, and remove the inlet baffle.
12.2.5
To remove the inlet-top liner, remove the self-
drilling screws securing it to the top of the inlet.
12.2.6
Wall liner and inlet-side liner are held in place
with self-drilling screws. From the outside of the
reclaimer, remove the screws, and remove the liner.
12.2.7
Inner cone liners and cone-ring liners are glued
onto the inner cone. Pull off the liners to remove them.
12.2.8
Remove old caulking and adhesive from the
weldment.
Installation Note:
The numbers in parenthesis (-)
shown in Figure 8 and the applicable paragraphs, show
the recommended order of installation. When installing
the liners, make sure that seams are aligned. The final
assembly must be smooth and free of protrusions,
edges, and gaps. Any edges will disrupt the air flow,
causing wear, and affect the reclaimer’s media cleaning
efficiency.
12.2.9
(1st) Place the cone-ring liner on the inside of
the cone-ring; check fit and trim if needed. Apply
medium-set contact cement to the fabric side and install
the liner. Note: Follow the instructions provided with the
adhesive, some adhesives require covering both
surfaces to be cemented. Smooth out the liner to
eliminate air pockets.
12.2.10
(2nd) Place the cone liner in the cone with the
fabric side down, and check the fit; trim if necessary.
Follow the instructions provided with the adhesive and
apply medium-set contact cement to the fabric side, and
install the cone liner. Smooth out the liner to eliminate air
pockets.
12.2.11
(3
rd
) Position the inlet-side liner and inlet-top
liner to make sure they fit; trimming is occasionally
required. Align the inlet-side liner and inlet-top liner and
clamp them in place. Use a self-drilling screw at each
hole location in the weldment to secure replacement
liners. Note: To field install new, first-time inlet-side liner
and inlet-top liners, after clamping the liners, use self-
drilling screws at each liner corner to secure them.
