2. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
ATTENTION
An accurate cleaning of the
mould andall parts inside the
machine TEST CHAMBER is very
important
for
a
good
test
execution.
Failure to properly clean and
lubricate all the above mentioned
parts of the machine before each
use may result in compaction
errors, and premature equipment
wear.
After cleaning the machine, cover all
the parts with a thin layer of grease
or oil to protect them from rust.
1
WORKTOP
A good cleaning condition must be maintained to avoid that impurities may be brought into
the test chamber when the operator drags the mould.
2
INTERNAL
PLATE
3
BASE DISC
The surface of the base disc is involved with the test execution and the mould bottom crawls
on with circular motion.
ATTENTION
For a correct test execution, it is very important that no
impurities are present between the bottom of the mould and
the surface of the base disc.
ATTENTION
It is of primary importance that a thin
layer of grease is laid on its surface to
avoid the seizing between the disc and
the bottom of the mould.
Use "Molykote ® Gn Plus" or
equivalent.
4
PISTON
It is very important that after each test the piston is cleaned properly to avoid incrustations.
5
TRANSDUCE
R CHECKING
DISC
The upper surface of the disc must be clean and without impurities as it works as checking
disc of the “T” sensor that reads the set angle.
6
WHEELS
Their position and the circular motion generate the movement of the mould.
Their surfaces get in contact directly with the lubricated upper and lower collars of the
mould. No impurities must be present between these surfaces.
1
MOULD UPPER COLLAR SURFACES
These surfaces are in contact with the
machine wheels.
It is very important to keep them clean and
slightly lubricated with generic gear oil.
2
ANTI-ROTATION SLOT
This surface may be subjected to frictions
caused by the anti-rotation pin of the
machine. It is very important to keep it
lubricated with a thin layer of grease to avoid
noise and wear process.
