Corrective Action

Possible Cause

Problem

26. Air from feed center

for bulk unloader

turns on and off

The optional air quick connect for

bulk unloaders on the front of the

feed center near the fresh powder

transfer pumps is designed

primarily for use with the Nordson

drum unloader. Its purpose is to

control the vibratory motor on the

drum unloader and it cycles on

and off with the fresh powder

transfer pump(s).

Use Nordson drum unloader.

27. Fresh powder

backfeeding through

one pump and sent

into waste duct

Improper location of fresh powder

suction lance when equipped with

two lances

When equipped with two fresh

powder transfer pumps, both suction

lances must be installed in a fresh

powder source when pumps are

operating.
