Your loader screen is one of the most vital components of your material handling system, playing a key role in maintaining efficiency and ensuring uninterrupted material flow. Dust, fines, and debris can accumulate on the screen over time, restricting airflow and reducing performance. To keep your loaders running smoothly and your processes on track, regular screen cleaning is essential. Conair is here to help you do it.

What to Look For

Check for these early warning signs that indicate it’s time to clean your loader screen:

  • Visible dust buildup on the screen
  • Slower or unsteady material flow
  • Longer run times
  • Unusual “strained” sound, indicating restricted airflow

Screen Cleaning Procedure

1. Disconnect the compressed air to the loader.

2. Loosen the lid fasteners and remove the lid. On an AR, lock the lid in the “up” position.

3. Once all the dust is removed, inspect the screen and gasket for any tears or damage. If the filter has any tears, is blinded by media, or is distorted in any way, it should be replaced immediately.

4. Once the screen is clean and inspected, place the screen back in the loader and make sure the seal is properly seated.

5. Replace the loader lid and tighten the fasteners.
