Matcon Aftermarket

When was the last time the station was serviced?

We recommend that to maintain optimum performance the station is serviced regularly once a year.

Incomplete discharge could be a sign of problems with the internal or external vibrators.

In general we would advise replacing the seals on an annual basis, however, the life of a seal is dependent on the frequency of operation and the load that it is exposed to.

We offer both factory fitted cone bonding programmes and replacement seal kits to ensure the integrity of the cone seal is maintained.

If you would like to discuss the cone resealing options available to you, please contact our Aftermarket team for assistance in your territory.

This could be due to a blocked silencer on the exhaust port. Remove the silencer and test to see if the problem is resolved. Replace the silencer with a Matcon approved part to ensure trouble-free use.

Check that the operational settings (pulse timers) have not been changed from commissioned settings. Check that the air is clean and dry. Check that the silencer on the exhaust port is not blocked.

If all of the above are OK then the hopper will need to be stripped down to check for kinks in the internal pipework or failure of the vibrator itself.

In a typical installation the seals should be changed every 1 to 2 years, however, the frequency of use will dictate the length of life.

Check that the outlet support arrangement on the Blender cage is clean and free of powder.

Ensure that all pipes are clear and not blocked with powder.

Matcon manufacture a wash trolley that the hopper is placed into and locked on a turntable. The rotation of the hopper gives excellent access and view inside the hopper body.

A critical spare is a part that should it fail means the machine does not run. What you stock is down to individual needs and rate of spares used. We work with each client to evaluate your needs and operate within budget.
