Screen Filter Cleaning (Optional)
WARNING: Disconnect power and air sources. Always disconnect the
main power source and compressed air source before removing the filter.
This prevents the loader from starting during servicing, which could cause
injury from flying debris or moving parts.
CAUTION: Wear eye protection. We recommend that you use vacuum air
for cleaning filters and other parts of this equipment. If you use com-
pressed air to clean the equipment, you must wear eye protection and
observe all OSHA and other safety regulations pertaining to the use of
compressed air.
The screen filter of your TLR is typically cleaned when materials are changed and
in the event of conveying problems.
1 Turn off power. Turn off the TLR loader or disconnect the control connection
cable from the UTB.
2 Remove the filter. Open the lid of the TLR by releasing the swing clamp that
secures the lid. Once the lid is opened, the screen filter is easily visible,
installed in the top of the tube loader body and may be lifted out for inspection
or cleaning.
3 Inspect the filter carefully. Check for holes that could allow the passage of
pellets or regrind. Replace the filter if it is damaged, excessively worn or too
clogged with fines and dust to be cleaned. Be sure to discard and replace any
filter that has become hopelessly clogged with material dust. Do not attempt to
repair a damaged filter.
4 Clean the filter. A simple wipe down with a clean cloth or vacuuming will
typically remove most material dust and fines. Slight tapping of the filter on a
hard surface will loosen more embedded fines, but hard banging could distort
or ruin the filter media and should be avoided.
5 Replace the filter. Replace the filter onto the loader. Firmly press down on the
filter to make sure there is a good seal around the entire perimeter of the filter
module.
NOTE: The filter in your Conair TLR Tube Loader performs double-duty as an effective
seal between the hopper body and the lid of the loader, so be sure to examine the
integrity of the rubber seal at the top to ensure that the lid will seal effectively when
reclamped. Replace the entire filter if the rubber seal is damaged or excessively worn.
