Replacing Reclaimer Wear Plate
WARNING
To access wear-plate mounting screws the
reclaimer may need to be removed from the
cabinet. BNP reclaimers weigh between 100 lbs
and 150 lbs, depending on the size. When
removing and installing the reclaimer, it must
be adequately supported and secured to
appropriate lift equipment. Failure to secure
and use proper lift device can result in injury.
7.8.1 Reclaimer with welded-on, nonremovable
top – Figure 25
Refer to Section 7.8.2 to replace the wear plate in
reclaimer with bolt-on, removable top.
7.8.1.1
Remove the flex hose from the reclaimer inlet.
7.8.1.2
If it is necessary to remove the reclaimer to
access the wear-plate mounting screw, remove the
media hose or metering valve, whichever is easier, then
remove the reclaimer mounting bolts and remove the
reclaimer.
7.8.1.3
Remove the reclaimer inlet adaptor, adaptor
gasket, and old wear plate. The wear plate is held in
place by screws attached from the outside of the
reclaimer. Remove the screws and pull out the wear
plate through the reclaimer inlet.
7.8.1.4
Remove remnants of old caulk that will prevent
the new wear plate from seating against the reclaimer
wall and top.
7.8.1.5
Angle the new wear plate into the reclaimer inlet
and position it so the straight end is flush with the inlet.
Use locking pliers, clamps, or other means to hold the
wear plate in position, making sure the leading edge of
the wear plate is aligned with the reclaimer inlet, as
shown in Figure 25, and that the top edge is even with
the top of the reclaimer.
7.8.1.6
Install the front-two sheet-metal screws through
the old screw holes to secure.
7.8.1.7
Use a board or similar object as leverage to pry
the wear plate against the inner wall of the reclaimer.
7.8.1.8
New self-drilling sheet-metal screws are
provided with the wear plate. While forcing the wear
plate against the reclaimer wall, install the screws
through the remaining screw holes to secure. Rearrange
the pry board as needed to press the wear plate against
the reclaimer wall when installing screws.
Figure 25
7.8.1.9
To avoid rapid wear, apply RTV caulk to fill gaps
at the seams on the top and bottom of the wear plate
7.8.1.10
Attach the inlet adaptor pipe, replacing the
gasket if worn, compressed, or otherwise damaged.
7.8.1.11
Reattach the reclaimer and connect the flex
hose and media hose.
7.8.1.12
Allow time for the caulking to cure before
putting the reclaimer into service.
7.8.2 Reclaimer with bolt-on, removable top
600 cfm only ‒ Figure 26
Refer to Section 7.8.1 to replace the wear plate in
reclaimer with welded-on, nonremovable top.
Installation Notes:
Make sure enough 13089 - 2" adhesive-backed gasket
is available to replace compressed or damaged gaskets
on the reclaimer upper flange (and lower flange if the
hopper is removed.
600 cfm requires 6 feet for each flange.
7.8.2.1
Remove the flex hose from the reclaimer inlet.
7.8.2.2
If it is necessary to remove the reclaimer to
access the wear-plate mounting screw, remove the
media hose or metering valve, whichever is easier, then
remove the reclaimer mounting bolts and remove the
reclaimer.
Wear Plate
Align the leading edge and
clamp where needed.
Use board to pry back of wear plate against
reclaimer wall and then install screws.
