REPLACE THE VOLU-MATIC 500 FEEDER END PLATES AS FOLLOWS:
The end plates should be replaced when evidence of damage is seen by visual inspection while changing
feeder seals or problems are experienced with lose of air pressure and blow-by occurs. Blow-by is a term used
when material seems to blow back into the hopper area while the auger tries to meter the material into the
shredder area. The felt washer that seals the bearing from the air stream could also contribute to blow-by and
should be replaced as required.
When replacing the feeder end plates, the clearance hole for the rotor shaft has to be centered to the ID of the
feeder barrel for an effective seal assembly. The centering tool has a boss the same diameter as the end plate hole
and is 1" in length so that the centering tool may be pushed into the feeder barrel for proper centering as the
edges begin to wear. The 3/4" dimension shown in the following drawing is the maximum allowable depth the tool
can move and still engage the full width of the end plate, any movement past this point is an indication that the
feeder barrel weld assembly should be replaced. Also, the weld assembly should be replaced when 25% of metal
thickness has worn away at the edges. New feeder seals will not effectively seal this area and will cause premature
seal and end plate wear, edge wear is a good indication that the rubber feeder seals are not being changed on
schedule, were damaged during operation, or an abrasive material requires that the seals be changed sooner.
Refer to the drawing and following instructions on replacement of the feeder end plates and/or feeder
barrel weld assembly.
1.
Remove the feeder drive components.
2. Loosen set screws in bearing collars, remove worn end plate, and remove bearing housing and felt washer
from worn end plate.
3. Pull rotor assembly out of barrel weld assembly.
4. Insert boss on centering tool into new end plate clearance hole, place centering tool with end plate into feeder
barrel, adjust centering tool in to a firm fit with barrel ID (keep centering tool parallel), align bolt holes and top
surface level, clamp into position and drill 1/4" hole into end plate from existing hole in the yoke of the feeder
barrel weld assembly (new holes may be located, do not locate to far from previously drilled holes).
5. Remove centering tool, place end plate over centering tool, add felt washer and bearing housing and
tighten bearing using washer and nylock nuts.
6.
Remove centering tool from end plate
7. Install rotor and new rubber feeder seals following instructions outlined for their assembly.
8. Bolt the end plate in position, a standard rotor assembly will have to be rotated to center properly
while bolting the end plate in position.
