Brush Balancing Weight Installation
  • The balancing weights are adhered in the laminated paper tube. 
              - Take care that these weights are not damaged or removed during staff installation. 
  • Insert the aluminum flange with a separating agent (e.g. lithium soap fat) 
  • Ensure the driving pin is positioned correctly. Any jamming of the flange can cause the roller to break.
  • We recommend 17m per second as an ideal operating speed for new rollers
    - If the rollers are almost worn, we recommend a speed of approx. 14m per second.

  • The rotation direction of the roller is marked by an arrow on the side. 
  • The water pressure for you brushing machine should be in the region of 3 bar.

Assembly Instructions for Roller Brushes for Press Panel Cleaning

  1. Place the roller brush on the ‘Wesero’ assembly carriage and fold down the brush shaft supports.
  2. Guide the brush shaft into the bore of the roller brush (inner diameter = 190mm). 
                   - Take care not to damage the balancing threads situated inside the roller. 
  1. Push all the required adapters onto the brush shaft. Ensure they are not pushed into the bore of the roller brush.
  2. Lift the roller brush on one side and fold up the shaft support. Secure the support with the screw provide.
  3. The roller brush and brush shaft are now positioned concentrically to each other.
  4. One by one, push all the adapters into the bore of the roller brush. 
                   - Do not use hammers or excessive force to position the adapters!

 


Adjusting the roller brushes of the 'WESERO' for wet operation:


1.  Switch OFF the machine and open the lid. 
2.  Switch the machine to manual operation and turn the roller brushes down (release the contact pressure) until they can be turned by hand. 
3.  Prior to leveling, the brushes must be thoroughly spun, without added water, for about 15 to 20 minutes. 
4.  Check the roller surface and the roller heads for any exterior damage. If the roller heads are protruding, they should be leveled with a right angle grinder prior to use. 
  • Note: The roller body must only be turned by hand. 
5.  Separate the brushes further after the heads have been leveled. 
6.  Switch on the brushes that still need to be leveled with oscillation. 
7.  Insert the adjusting plate into the machine to a point where the plate of the conveyor roller will be gripped in front and behind the brushes, which will be adjusted. 
8.  Switch on the brush and adjust so that the operating level indicates 30%-35%. 
9.  Switch the feed on and off in short intervals of approx. 5 seconds. 
  • Caution! Longer process times will destroy the brush and the adjusting plate. 
10.  Ensure the capacity intake is always between 30%-35%. If necessary, adjust via the in-feed. Repeat the procedure three to four times. 
11.  The same procedure applies to the following brushes. Ensure only the brush that is to be treated is switched on during the complete leveling process. 
12.  When the leveling process has been completed, retract the adjusting plate to avoid any soiling of the conveyor rollers inside the dryer. Clean the engine compartment with water afterwards.
13.  Ensure the jets are clean and the jet beam points in the direction as specific in the manual, before the machine is operated again.

Adjusting the roller brushes of the ' WESERO' brushing machine for dry operation:
1.  Switch off the machine, open the lid, and remove the suction trough. 
2.  Switch the machine to manual operation and turn down the roller brushes (release the contact pressure) until they can be turned by hand. 
3.  Check the roller surface and the roller heads for exterior damage. If the rollers heads are protruding they should be leveled with a right angle grinder prior to use.  
         •   Note: The roller body must only be turned by hand. 
4.  Install the suction trough and switch on the duster. 
5.  Separate the brushes further after the heads have been leveled. Switch on the brushes that still need to be leveled with oscillation. 
6.  Insert the adjusting plate into the machine so that the plate of the conveyor roller will be gripped in front and behind the brushes, which will be adjusted. 
7.  Switch on the brush and adjust to a point where the operating level indicates 30%-35%. 
8.  Switch the feed on and off in short intervals of approx. 5 seconds. 
        •   Caution! Longer process times will destroy the brush and the adjusting plate. 
9.   Ensure that the capacity intake is always between 30%-35%. If necessary, adjust via the in-feed. Repeat the procedure three to four times. 
10. The same procedure applies to the following brushes. Ensure only the brush that is to be treated and the suction device are switched on during the complete leveling process. 
11. When the leveling process is complete, clean the machine thoroughly and vacuum the brush surface.
