Simple Machinery Maintenance & Tips
The 700 Series of finishers will give many years of effective service
provided the operator employs a few simple maintenance regiments: -
Dust and Extraction
The 700 series extraction system relies on
the extraction of duct from the working area
through the fan impeller into the lower of
two waste trays (1) via the filter bag fitted
to the rear of the machine. If this filter bag
becomes clogged up with dust the suction
will greatly diminish.
To help move as much of the dust through
the system and into the waste collection
tray we strongly recommend pulling on the
bag shaker cable (2) several times during
the working day (whilst the extraction motor
is OFF). This action encourages most of
the dust and fine particles to fall into the
waste tray. This tray should be emptied at
the end of the working day. The machine
must be switched off and isolated before
releasing the tray.
The metre per second (m.p.s.) extraction
rates given at the front of this manual are
standard rates across the range of ma-
chines and during the machine operation
when all dust ports are open. To increase
extraction rates at the required machine
section deploy the included shield (s) at
vents not in use.
Noise
It is worth noting that the noise of any finishing machine does not occur separate from its
environment. For example, a room with tall ceilings can echo the noise produced. Similarly, a
wooden floor may reverberate the sound produced. A sloping floor may effect the operational
quality.
Poorly maintained machinery may become noisier over time. Not replacing blunt cutters or worn
bands can increase the effort being expended by the finisher and thus create more noise.
The noisiest part of the finisher is the wide scouring band. To ensure this part of the machine is
running at optimum efficiency please ensure that there is no build-up of particles on the rear
pullies and front contact wheels. These particles can greatly increase the
running noise of the and section.
