Trouble Shooting - Kongskilde SUC-E 100 Manual

Trouble Shooting

Problem Cause
Poor capacity Intake nozzle not correctly adjusted
Belts worn or need tightening
Air regulator cannot move freely
Pipe system not correctly arranged
Screen in cyclone blocked
Conveying air released from pressure side
builds up pressure in silo, hopper, etc.,
which lacks vent
Moist grain
Dirty grain
Rotary valve seals at side covers worn
Rubber blades in rotary valve worn
Wrong direction of rotation (see arrows on
blower and rotary valve)
No capacity but Blocked pipe system
the blower is
working
Rotary valve stopped due to a foreign ob-
ject jamming the drum
Rotary valve stopped due to a worn or
slack V-belt
Remedy
Adjust intake nozzle. See the paragraph
»Adjustment for maximum Capacity«.
Replace or tighten the belts.
The air regulator has not been released from
the starting position or its functioning is ham-
pered by dirt.
The pipeline should be kept as short as pos-
sible. Do not use more bends and diverters
than necessary. See also the paragraph
»Piping instructions«.
Unclip bend from the top of the cyclone and
clean the screen.
Open so that the conveying air may escape.
When moisture is high the flow rate is poor
and the capacity is reduced.
Due to reduced flow rate and lower specific
gravity the capacity is reduced when hand-
ling dirty grain.
Replace the seals.
Replace the rubber blades.
Ask the electrician to reverse the direction of
rotation.
Clear the pipe system. See the paragraph
»Clearing a blocked pipe system«.
Remove the object and check for damage to
the rotary valve.
Replace or tighten the V-belts. See the
paragraph »Maintenance«
