HOW TO MAINTAIN THE FILLING TURRET TOP PLATE
The filling turret top plate (also called the stator) and bottom plate (also called the rotor) are critical parts that must be maintained yearly to keep your Pacific running its best.
Our recommended preventative maintenance goes a long way to ensure a long-life for the Teflon, and more importantly, eliminate product waste at the filling turret.
At a minimum, we recommend that you lap the top plate Teflon surface once a year [For companies that operate 3-shifts per day, the process would be required 3 times per year].
While the process is described in detail in your Operator’s Manual, we have summarized the specifics below:
If the plates have been properly prepared, this process should only take 10 to 15 minutes. The result is that the thin Emery Cloth “transfers” the flatness from the stainless steel bottom plate onto the Teflon. Your plates are now properly arranged for a maximum seal.
