Cleaning the fan rotor

Interval

  • At the end of the season

The air drawn by the fan can contain fertiliser dust or sand. These impurities can accumulate on the fan rotors and cause imbalance of the fan. This can destroy the fan.

  • The singling unit housings are open

  • The singling discs are removed

  1. Open the water drain 1 on the air distributor.

  2. To wash the deposits from the fan rotors:

    Direct a jet of water into the suction opening 2.

  3. When most of the water has escaped through the air distributor:

    Run the fan for about 5 minutes.

The air supply is blown dry.

  1. Switch off the fan.
  2. Close the water drain on the air distributor.
