Maintenance
Cleaning a diverter reject
• Isolate the electrical and air supplies to the metal detector.
• Release the swell latches or hand wheels (fixings may vary) on the removable access
cover and carefully remove. The door is attached to the main frame by a ground lead and
therefore cannot be completely removed.
• Remove the diverter bucket from its two location pins.
• Inspect the good and reject product chutes; clean as necessary. If the system is fitted with
a Test Ball collection system clean any residual product from the fitted mesh pieces.
• Using a mild detergent clean both the bucket and the inside of the housing thoroughly,
ensuring all residual product is removed.
• Thoroughly dry all washed components before re-assembly.
• Re-assemble the bucket, ensuring both pivot pins are correctly located in the drive arm.
• Replace the access cover ensuring the diverter pivot pin is correctly located into the
access cover bearing housing. Secure all the swell latches.
• Restore the electrical and compressed air supplies to the metal detector.
• Check the operation of the system by placing the test sample balls into the access door
located in the product pipe above the detector.
