Reliable feeder suction depends on a clean and correctly maintained air and vacuum system. On a Komori press, inspect the pump filter, hoses, fittings, seals and graphite vanes as part of a planned service routine. A weak vacuum reading, unstable gauge, unusual noise or overheating can indicate restriction, leakage or vane wear. Isolate power before service, clean the pump chamber as specified by the manual, and measure vacuum after reassembly. Use the exact pump model and approved replacement parts; the checks below are general maintenance guidance, not a substitute for the machine documentation.
Images above are generated/schematic illustrations for inspection scenarios, not actual customer sites.
Maintenance sequence
- Clean or replace the filter and inspect the complete hose route for leaks.
- Check fittings, seals and the pump chamber for contamination.
- Measure vacuum and temperature before and after maintenance.
- Replace worn graphite vanes only with the correct specification and record the service.
