TWEEDY BREAD MOULDER MAJOR 440

Maintenance

The Tweedy Major Moulder has been designed to give many years of efficient and reliable service and in order to maintain the unit at peak efficiency, the following items should be checked regularly:

Conveyor Belt

The belt should be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each shift and all foreign matter removed. Check toe connecting strip to ensure that the link wire is fully inserted. Visual inspection of the belt edges will reveal whether tracking adjustment is required. Clockwise roation of the right hand adjuster will move the belt towards the left and similarly the left hand adjuster will move the belt to the right. 

Sheeting Head Rollers

These rollers are specially coated and should be kept clean. Do not attempt to scrape debris off with any sharp-edged object. A nylon scraper should suffice.

Drive

Adjustment of the drive chain is automatic. Lightly smear he chain with divider oil at weekly intervals.  Access to the drive chain is gained by removing the left hand panel after removing twelve retaining screws.  The integral motor/gearbox unit is sealed for life and requires no lubrication. Periodically check the motor mounting fasteners for security and tighten if required.

General

All adjustment rod threads and clevises should receive a light smear of divider oil, once weekly. The control guide plates within the hopper should be cleaned daily and all foreign matter removed The two chain mail pieces on the the sheeting head assembley should be removed and cleaned daily.
