Daily Preventative Maintenance for Your Hurricane Parts Cleaning System

Filter Bags

• Filter bags should be checked during each shift and changed when it reaches a differential inlet to outlet pressure of 10 - 15 PSI. Make sure your inventory includes a sufficient number of replacement filter bags.

Regenerative Blower Filters

• Gauges mounted on the side of the electrical panel indicate blockage. If a restriction of airflow occurs, the yellow indicator light will come on. This light is set on a 5 minute timer (one hour with for Ford). After 5 minutes (or if Ford one hour), if the filter is not changed, the red light will turn on and the unit will shut down. These settings have been pre-set by Hurricane and should not be adjusted.
  
  
• Make sure your inventory includes a sufficient number of replacement filters. Do not attempt to wash this filter.

• Correct Outlet Pressure range is 1 to 20.7 Kpa, while correct inlet vacuum is 0.0 to –0.2 Kpa.

Chemical Titration

• Proper chemical titration is critical for proper functioning of the system. Hurricane offers chemical titration kits for you to keep on hand.

Chip Baskets

• Chip baskets must be checked often and cleaned during the course of the shift. Hurricane recommends you keep a replacement chip basket on hand so you may exchange the one in your washer for a clean one. The dirty one can then be cleaned properly in an acid bath without holding up production or risking exposure to the pump.

Air Blow-off Headers

• A daily check of the blow-off nozzles should be performed to assure the nozzles do not clog. If buildup is detected, a few swipes with a long bristle wire brush should rectify the problem.

Coalescer Float

• Check float for proper adjustment. Some oils carry on top of the foam created by the cleaning compound. Foam will interfere with the separation of the oil from the water.
