Maintenance Schedule WF10

Keep framework and conveyor belts clean of dirt build-up, grease and oil residues.

Check drivebelts for wear.

Verify that the air pressure is regulated to the proper setting (90 PSI), and that any water is drained from the filter.

Check for worn or broken electrical and air connections.

Visually inspect the WF10T for loose fasteners, and leaks in the pneumatic system, and drain bottle overflow.

Ensure that the LinMot® linear motors are adequately lubricated. Ensure that the guide rods are adequately lubricated.

Clean the tape knife on the Tape Head with WD-40 or a similar low-toxicity cleaner and lubricate the blade guard pad with silicone.

Check reducer lubricant level and replenish as required.

Check conveyor belt condition, tracking, and tension.

Timeframes are based on a WF10T running 10 cycles per minute, 8 hours per day, and 22 days/month, or 1,200,000 cycles per year. Adjust your schedule according to your machine use.

Thoroughly clean all sprockets, chains, LinMot® linear motors, and sliding components, and then lightly grease with Fuchs FM Grease AX/EP 2 Food Grade Oil.

Lubricate the discharge conveyor drive chain and width adjustment roller chain with a chain spray lube.

Inspect the electric motor for evidence of oil leakage, noise, or vibration.

Keep unit free of dirt. Excess accumulation of dirt or grease will affect the proper cooling of the units.

Correct tension and tracking will prolong the belt and drive bearing life. Check belt condition, tracking, and tension

Lubricate width and height adjustment leadscrews with Fuchs FM Grease AX/EP 2 Food Grade Oil.

Remove drivebelts. Drive pulleys and idler pulleys should be inspected for bearing wear and pulley damage. Remove any dirt build-up before drivebelts are re-installed.

Remove flap folders for servicing. Remove covers and check for worn parts.

Check the tension of the discharge conveyor drivebelt chain drive.

Proper tension for the discharge conveyor drivebelt chain drive is achieved when the horizontal sag in the chain measures between 1/8” and ¼” with the drivebelts in a fully opened position.

Inspect all pneumatic and electrical limit switches and verify that they are properly adjusted and in good working order.

Check for any loose or missing fasteners.
