INTERNAL CONE INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

Internal cones should be inspected to ensure that product flow into the vehicle/container, or air flow up
through the spout, is not restricted due to damaged components. If bent, damaged, or worn components
are discovered, these components can be easily and economically replaced.
Special attention should be paid when loading hydroscopic or sticky material through loading spout.
Periodically check internal cones for product build-up; if build-up is found, strike or scrape each cone to
eliminate it.

raised position by tying it off or
other appropriate means.

the U-bolt cable clamps from
the cone (Figure 3) and remove the cone. Leave the clamps attached to the cables.
