(also valid for all other components)
7.12.1 Detachable Material Hopper Procedure
NOTE
Detachable material hopper for TB45 (4 bins) and TB100 (2 bins) models,
and TB250R (2 bins).
All detachable material hoppers on the above referenced models are held in place
with a captive retainer (screw) held in the hopper support frame. The retainer
stabilizes the detachable hopper when mounted in the blender support frame from
forces exerted on the hopper by resin weight and various types of automatic
loading/receiving device(s) during normal vibration from the process. There is a
separate retainer for each detachable hopper.
When removing any of these detachable hoppers for cleaning or material
changeover; first, remove the automatic loading/receiving device; then use the
proper hex head socket or screwdriver and back out the captive retainer. Hopper
can then be removed.
Upon re-insertion of the detachable hopper, it is very important to re-anchor
the respective hopper(s) using the captive retainer to provide stability
during normal operation of the blender.
Once the hoppers have been placed
and anchored, the respective loading / receiving devices can be mounted.
