Paxton Products wants customers to get the highest efficiency from their blowers. In order to make sure the blowers are always working at their highest capacity, they need to be well maintained. Paxton Products has a preventative maintenance schedule that should be followed in order to make sure your blower system operates at peak efficiency and minimizes downtime.
Paxton blowers are high speed, precision balanced rotating equipment and it is imperative that they are properly sustained. If the blowers are not taken care of, they will not run properly which will cause defects and rejects of your products. In order to prevent any damages to your blower, let’s evaluate the consequences of using a worn tensioner instead of using a well-managed tensioner.
Worn Tensioner
- Belts will deteriorate causing high vibration throughout the blower
- The blower's lifespan will shorten
- Extended Downtime
Well-Managed Tensioner
- Idler keeps the blower well balanced
- Maintains tensioner for optimum belt life and blower performance
Paxton’s engineers request you follow these guidelines in order to make sure your tensioner is always in good condition.
- If blower is operating 1 or 2 shift/day, replace tensioner every 24 months
- For blowers operating 3 shifts/day operation, replace every 12 months or 8,000 hours
- The tensioner springs should be replaced at least every 12 months
Paxton Products insists on customers following this maintenance protocol in order to be covered by our industry-leading 3-Year Warranty. Paxton’s preventative maintenance is very easy to complete.
