acrison 105-BB - Discharge Cylinder; Intromitter (Conditioning Auger); Conditioning Chamber

If this occurs, most likely, a wobble of the Discharge Cylinder (12) will be
noted and ultimately, the threaded end of the Metering Auger Drive Shaft (11)
will fail (fatigue).
In addition, whenever exchanging or swapping components from one feeder to
another (only possible with feeders of the same model designation), verifica-
tion of proper alignment with respect to the metering auger and its end bearing
support is essential to ensure that damage to the Metering Auger Drive Shaft
(11) does not occur.
If, after reassembly of the Metering Auger (10), alignment appears improper
when installing the metering auger’s end bearing support (the end bearing may
be piloted for exact positioning), Acrison should be consulted for assistance.
4.2 Discharge Cylinder (12)
Please refer to Figures 1 and 2.
4.2.1
The Discharge Cylinder (12) may be removed by unbolting the screws fastening the flange of the
cylinder to the face of the Conditioning Chamber (6). Please note that it is a recommended
practice to first remove the Metering Auger (10) before removing the discharge cylinder, if
possible, to avoid potential damage to either the metering auger and/or its drive shaft (primarily
the drive shaft).
See the CAUTION note following Metering Auger, paragraph 4.1.2.
To reassemble, reverse the preceding procedure.
4.3 Intromitter (Conditioning Auger) (8)
Please refer to Figure 2.
4.3.1
With the Discharge Cylinder (12) and Metering Auger (10) removed, the Conditioning Auger (8)
may be disengaged. Loosen and remove the three cap screws which fasten the Conditioning
Auger (8) to its drive shaft flange. The Intromitter (or conditioning auger) may now be withdrawn
through the front of the Conditioning Chamber (6) or through the top (inlet) of the feeder, if
accessible. For feeders furnished with a threaded conditioning auger hub (instead of a flanged
hub), remove the conditioning auger in a manner similar to that of the metering auger. In such
instances, the Intromitter (or conditioning auger) is equipped with a left-hand internally threaded
hub to fasten it to its Drive Shaft (9) within the Conditioning Chamber (6). To remove, rotate
CLOCKWISE (when facing the discharge end of the feeder) until it is disengaged. The
conditioning auger may now be removed through the front of the conditioning chamber or through
the top (inlet) of the feeder, if accessible.
To reassemble, reverse the preceding procedure.
4.4 Conditioning Chamber (6)
Please refer to Figures 1 and 2.
4.4.1
Remove the Discharge Cylinder (12), the Intromitter or Conditioning Auger (8) and the Metering
Auger (10).
Install a temporary chock beneath the front side (feeder side) of the Gearbox (3), between the
gearbox and the Feeder Mounting Base (4), to provide support once the Conditioning Chamber
(6) is removed. Then, unbolt the Conditioning Chamber (6) from the Seal Housing Assembly (5).
Unbolt the Conditioning Chamber (6) from the Feeder Mounting Base (4) and then remove.
