3.9 Cleaning the REMU Bucket
It is extremely important for operators to be aware that the rotor assemblies
must be periodically cleaned while the material is still "soft".
3.10 When to Clean
Screening should be carried out:
−
when the efficiency of the screening action is impaired
−
before the build-up of material between the blades of one rotor touches
the adjacent rotor blade
−
on a regular basis where the material being screened dictates the
frequency
3.11 How to Clean
The carrier unit needs access to coarse, dry, hard, oversized material (for
example soft rock, bricks or river gravel). Process this material through the
unit in the normal manner until the build-up of material is reduces to a
point where the square edges of the rotor shafts are visible.
3.12 Neglect
If cleaning is not carried out efficiently:
−
the bucket operation will be greatly impaired
−
material will build up in the rotors
−
it will cause accelerated wear on the rotor outside diameter surface
3.13 Cleaning Attachment
REMU has developed a cleaning attachment suitable for cleaning high
plasticity material from the rotor assemblies. If the material being
processed cannot be cleaned or builds up very quickly REMU suggests that
the cleaning attachment should be fitted to clean the unit to improve
screening production of high moisture material. For further details on this
attachment please contact REMU’s dealer network.
