Precautions to reduce SEPOL wear
• Early detection of wear, repair of damaged points, countermeasures
• Avoid junction points and uneveness in the lining surface (turbulences with
consequential erosion)
• Check the distribution of the material to be separated and improve,
if required and possible
• Check the air distribution (velocities) and adjust, if required
• Measure and reduce the air flow rate to the designed air flow rate,
if required
• Check the guide vane position: the angle of aperture should be between
15 and 30º
• Check the gap of the rotor seal at regular intervals and readjust to approx.
2mm (depending on the operating temperature and the size of the machine)
