7.6.5 Ball bearings elevator
The rollers in the elevator and belt under should be without deformations and cracks. Check the bearing
clearances without belt tension. Replace worn bearings.
7.7 BALING CHAMBER
All repair and maintenance work inside the chamber is associated with great danger. Secure the
chamber door lifting cylinders, by closing the securing valves on both sides. The machine must
be stopped and PTO disconnected.
7.7.1 Inspection
Chamber - rollers - bearings - belts
The bale chamber must be checked frequently. Before performing a control, the chamber must be properly
cleaned, preferable using a high pressure washer. Check the tracking of the chamber belts and adjust if
needed.
Look for wear on the chamber sidewalls and check the condition of the rollers and rubber belts. The grade of
wear and tear are varying, depending on which material being baled.
Replace damaged rollers and belts if excessively worn. If there is excessive wear on the chamber sidewalls,
Hardox wear plates can be retrofitted on the chamber walls. Contact Orkel AS if relevant.
NOTE: The play in the slide bearings is at the smallest when the compactor is brand new. This may result in
increased temperature in the bearings. The bearings should therefore be checked as they might require addi-
tional lubrication.
