Secondary Baffle
1. The secondary baffle has been positioned by Metalfab engineering for your
application requirements. ItÅfs position will allow for the proper flow of
product through the Bin Activator outlet.
2. The position of the secondary baffle is maintained by an Esna type lock nut.
The secondary baffle can be repositioned vertically by using a deep socket
type wrench to loosen the lock nut, thereby, allowing the secondary baffle to
be turned, possibly by hand, on the threaded section of the extended rod, to
a higher or lower position. Since the secondary baffle is located near the
outlet, it is easily accessible from the outlet.
3. If flow problems occur, the secondary baffle could be repositioned to help
eliminate the problem. Before making any adjustments, it is advisable to
check with Metalfab engineering for advise as to what new position might
be helpful.
