The cutter belt pulley and flywheel can be equipped
with a friction clutch to minimize damage in the
event of stoppage in the granulator.
When the machine is delivered, the clutch is
set to transmit torque corresponding to
normal granulating.
Check the friction clutch every 6 months.
• Remove the protective plate which
covers the cutter belt pulley or the
flywheel.
• Cut off the twined locking wires
which pair-wise locks the setting
screws.
• Check the tightening torque of the
screws in the friction clutch.
(hex wrench 17 mm).
The torque is not dependent on the size of the motor:
The tightening torque of the screws should be max. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Nm.
Lock the screw settings pair-wise.
Lock by interconnecting two screws
pair-wise with a steel wire. Twine the
steel wire so that it locks the setting
of the screws.
If the clutch slips during normal
granulating, even if the tightening
torque is correct, the clutch discs may
need to be degreased or replaced.
Contact your local Conair distributor or Conair corporate office.
NOTE:
The tightening torque
of the friction clutch must
never be increased.
