6.2. Joints and alignments checks
NOTE:
The first step to do before turning on the Continuous Feeding is checking that every moving and
rotating component is jointed correctly and aligned.
ATTENTION:
The operations related to these activities must be performed while the power cable is not connected
to the power source.
Carry out the following checks before turning on the machine:
1. Check bearing and alignment: verify the joint looks like in Fig 6.2.a
Make sure that the set screw and nut are well tightened.
If this joint is not properly assembled the mixing unit won’t work correctly.
Make sure there are no gaps between the components of the bearing.
2. Check tightening and alignment of the knobs as in Fig 6.2 b
Make sure that the washer is properly present between knob and flange.
3. Check joint interpenetration as displayed in Fig 6.2 c
If the components are not joined correctly rotate manually the screw so that they will match.
4. Check that the clamp is properly closed as in Fig 6.2 d.
When closing the clamp must not me overstressed otherwise it may misalign the joints.
