Page 33: Weigh Belt With Atomizer Chamber Overview
LPV WEIGH BELT SEED TREATER WEIGH BELT ATOMIZER CHAMBER OVERVIEW The atomizer chamber consists of a patented design which disperses treatment evenly to each seed. A motor drives the atomizer head at approximately 1725 RPM’s. As treatment is being pumped into the atomizer chamber, it drops into the atomizer head. - Page 34 LPV WEIGH BELT SEED TREATER The Illustration below shows how seed passes through the atomizing chamber. The red represents treatment being dispensed to the seed as it passes through the chamber. After the seed passes through the atomizer, it goes into the drum where the coating process is completed.

LPV WEIGH BELT SEED TREATER PROXIMITY SWITCH ADJUSTMENT GUIDE If a proximity switch is not working properly, this can be caused by wear, dust, or even moisture. The first step is to clean the lens of the proximity switch. If this does not solve the problem, the next step would be to adjust the sensitivity of the proximity switch. - Page 45 Record the cleaning on the company required documents. If operating in a CSA 22.1, Class II, Division 2, Group G hazardous area, USC recommends this step be performed on a daily basis.

- Page 49 LPV WEIGH BELT SEED TREATER NEBULIZER SYNCHRONOUS BELTS High torque, Standard and Metric synchronous belts should be installed to fit pulleys snugly, neither too tight nor too loose. The belts positive grip eliminates the need for high initial tension. When a belt is installed with a snug but not overly tight fit, longer belt life, less bearing wear and more quiet operation will result.
