Fig. 5-6: Correct and incorrect loading of the buckets
The equipping shown on the right-hand side is incorrect as it places an uneven load on the pegs of the
rotor.
 To reduce vibrations and noise, load all buckets of the swing-buckets rotor equally.
NOTICE! Material damage due to incomplete loading of the swing-bucket rotor.
Incomplete loading of the swing-bucket rotor reduces the rotor's service life.
 Always load all positions of a swing-bucket rotor with buckets.
