Maintenance
8.3.1 Non-Lube Pneumatic System Maintenance
A coalescing-type mist separator that effectively removes 99.9% of oil mist from incoming air.
Combined with pre-lubricated air cylinders and valves, this provides reliable pneumatic operation.
Maintenance
•
Drain the mist separator bowl frequently.
•
As the mist separator becomes contaminated, the pressure drop across the filter will
increase. Replace the element when the pressure drop reaches 15 PSI, or once per year,
whichever comes first.
•
The rate at which the filter element is contaminated will be greatly affected by the qualify
of the incoming air. If the air is wet and contaminated with lubricant, the filter element will
need more frequent replacement.
8.3.2 Inspections
On a daily basis, the operators should inspect for:
1) Leaks at:
•
Pneumatic system (air supply).
•
Filter bottle drain.
2) Loose fasteners.
3) Inspect the belt condition, tracking and tension
4) Irregular noise or signs of machine wear.
Check the ‘S’ box for Satisfactory Performance and ‘US’ box for Unsatisfactory Performance.
