3 MAINTENANCE
The Ultra Magnum Servo Roll Feed needs very little maintenance to keep the system operating at its optimum performance.
o This precision equipment must be kept as clean as possible. This is especially important if
large amounts of air suspended oil mists in combination with “dirty metals” are used. The
resulting abrasive dust can attach itself to the feed rolls and other surfaces, leading to
premature wear on many parts.
o
The roll release system requires a clean, dry and lubricated air supply, 80-100 PSI. Use the
filter/Regulator supplied with the feeder and fill the lubricator with a good grade of hydraulic
cylinder oil, like Shell Tellus 32.
o
All the bearings are provided with standard “zerk” type grease fittings. They should be
lubricated with a good grade of high pressure bearing grease. The frequency of lubrication will
depend on the overall usage of the system. A small “shot” once a day is a good starting point.
The feed roll gears set should be coated with a small amount of open gear grease.
o
All fasteners should be checked for tightness at regular intervals.
o
The electrical system also requires very little maintenance. Keep the enclosure clean and
replace any burned indicator bulbs. Do not expose the electrical enclosure to constant high
temperatures. Possible system failure could result.
o
The Feeder’s electrical enclosure door is sealed to prevent oil and contaminants from entering
inside. However, small gaps can be found around some sealing surfaces and faceplates. It is a
good idea, therefore, to keep the console free of stamping oils and fluids, which could "seep
into" the enclosure. Most often, these oils are carried by the Operator’s hands or by air mist
lubrication etc.
o
All of the above guidelines should be added to your existing pressroom Preventive
Maintenance (PM) Program.
