Adjustment / replacement of plastic edges
When the plastic edges (3) become worn, the rubber
blades are no longer able to touch the plastic edges,
and the lubricant is thus not distributed on the inside
of the separator. This can cause a soothing sound (de-
pending on the separated material).
When the edges are worn, they can be adjusted in-
wards against the rubber blades, by loosening the
screws on the underside, loosening the locknuts, and
tightening the adjustment screws on the steel bars of
the edges. The plastic edges must touch the rubber
blades, and can be adjusted both at standstill, and dur-
ing operation. They can be adjusted steplessly inwards
until the adjusting screws are fully inserted. Remember
to tighten the locknuts on the adjusting screws and the
screws on the underside.
When the plastic edges can no longer be adjusted
inward, they should be replaced - if necessary, in com-
bination with replacement of rubber blades and sealing
segments.
Be aware of the danger of squeezing when the separa-
tor top is lifted! Required clearance at lift to top, see
section "Technical data".
When replacing rubber blades, sealing segments and
plastic edges, use only genuine Kongskilde spare parts.
Please refer to the spare part list.
NB! When replacing rubber blades, scraper and seal-
ing segments, it is important to use the new included
self-locking screws. Otherwise, there is a risk that the
screws will loosen and fall into the material outlet.

In addition, the internal parts of the separator, sieve
holes and duct piping are optimally cleaned with pres-
surized air.
If moist and / or sticky material has come into the sepa-
rator, further cleaning may be required.

Removal / mounting of the SEW gear unit
The gearbox hollow shaft is mounted to the rotor shaft
with a TorqLoc
shrink disk. When removing the gear
®
unit from the rotor shaft, the shrink disk must be loos-
ened before the gear unit can be pulled off the shaft.
Loosen the shrink disk by loosening the screws coun-
terclockwise, ½ turn at a time, until all screws can be
turned with your fingers. The gear can then be pulled
off the shaft.
If the shrink disk cannot be pulled off the shaft immedi-
ately, proceed as follows:
1. remove all screws from the shrink disk
2. mount 3 of the screws in the outer ring of the shrink
disk
3. support the gear unit so that the weight of the gear
unit does not rest on the shaft
4. screw the 3 screws inwards 60° at a time, until the
counter bushing comes loose
5. pull the counter bushing and the shrink disk off the
shaft
Re-assembly of the shrink disk is carried out as follows:
1. the shrink disk is inspected for burrs, etc. on the
clamping surfaces and cleaned. The threads of the
screws must be lubricated with MoS
insertion.
2. the rotor shaft and the hollow shaft are thoroughly
cleaned of oil, grease, rust and other contaminants
- the shaft and hollow shaft must be degreased
thoroughly before mounting, as grease on the
surfaces can cause the shaft to slide in the hollow
shaft which will cause a cold weld that may make it
impossible to separate later!
3. the stop ring and the bushing are mounted loosely
in case theyy were removed
4. the bushing is applied with Nocofluid mounting
paste on the outside
5. the gear unit with the torque arm is mounted on the
rotor shaft
6. the torque arm is attached
7. the bushing is fully inserted to the bottom of the
gear
8. the stop ring is pushed on to the bushing and tight-
ened to 25Nm
9. the shrink disk is pushed in over the shaft - ensure
that all screws in the shrink disk are loosened
10. the counter bushing is pushed in over the shaft and
into the gear unit (do not apply paste to the counter
bushing). Make sure that there is a gap between
the shrink disk and the gear housing of 1-2mm
11. lightly tap on the counter bushing to ensure that it
is fixed in the gear unit, and check that the counter
bushing is correctly seated as shown
12. the shrink disc screws are tightened by hand, while
ensuring that the inner- and outer flange lie parallel
to each other
grease before
