MD-8 GAS FIRED MODEL MAINTENANCE
1. Grease the bearings on the blower fan drive shaft (with high
temperature grease only),every 200 operating hours or once a month
depending on your production level. They are located on either side of the
burner section under the heat extensions.
2. Grease the shaft and conveyor bearings (with standard grease) every
200 operating hours or once a month depending on your production level.
Check oil level in belt speed reducer every 4 to 5 months or every 300
operating hours.
3. Check belt drive brushes every 600 operating hours.
4. If the dryer is equipped with "Belt Sensor" switch, check the operation of
cylinder for smooth operation. This is important to keep the belt tracking
working properly.
5. The dryer is equipped with lint filters which are located on the rear of the
dryer for easy access. They should be cleaned at least once a week along with
recirculation blower blades.
(depending on your production level). Check daily until a schedule can be
determined.
6. We recommend checking the inside of the dryer for buildup of dust and
debris. This can easily be accomplished by un-latching the exhaust hoods
and checking the inside of the hoods. The burner section can be checked
by opening the door located under the filters. Every application is different,
so there is no set schedule. Check monthly until a schedule can be
determine.
7. Inspect Blower Motor Pulley Belt damage. Tension if necessary.
8. Inspect and clean Flamerods and Igniter at Burner Basket location with a fine
grit sandpaper quarterly. Also inspect and replace if necessary, all related
wiring.
9. Inspect and clean or replace Main Panel Cooling Fan Filter periodically
NOTE:
It is very important to keep the entire dryer clean. If lint is allowed to
build up, the
efficiency and drying capabilities will be greatly diminished.
