CLEANING
Your Model UD Pulverizer is easy to clean. It opens up so all of the interior parts are easily
accessible for cleaning with a brush or with compressed air. Be sure all machine surfaces, the
door, and the grinding plates are cleaned of material before beginning each operation.
GRINDING PLATES MUST BE PARALLEL AT ALL TIMES
ALWAYS CLEAN ALL MATING SURFACES TO INSURE REPEATABILITY OF PLATE
SETTINGS.
Important:
When the Pulverizer is operated regularly the DUST COLLECTOR (UD-35)
MUST be cleaned weekly.
To Clean: Remove screw, cover, screen and filter. Clean the filter with solvent and then oil lightly
with a light machine oil. Then replace the filter, screen, cover and screw back together
GRINDING PLATES
Bico grinding plates are available in a variety of materials and hardness to provide you with the
best performance for your type of sample.
All plates (disc) are 8" in diameter and bear the Bico part number on the backside. A set of two (2)
plates is required when running the machine: One stationary plate (w/hole) located on the door
and one revolving plate located on the flange. New machines are factory installed with the
standard Iron Alloy Plates (UA-51/52).
Proper installation and maintenance is very important to assure long wear and fine grind. Perfect
plate alignment is essential for optimum machine production. The UA-1000 plate aligner is
available to assist you with this procedure.
