For continuous noise

Please check the filter screen of KDS Separator.
Turn off the main power supply and wash the screen.

In case the problem is not solved after washing

there is a possibility that fixed slits, oval-plate units or rotating shafts may have been broken. Please contact us.

Please check before contacting us :
1. Whether any sprockets are out upward of horizontal line of others
2. Observing from the discharge chute, if rows of oval-plate units are horizontal to fixed slits.

For sporadic noise (KDS Separator is working)

Please check where the noise is from and follow the steps below.

If the noise is from driving parts such as chains and sprockets, not a motor

please check the current value on control panel VFD (variable frequency drive) and compare it with the value at shipment inspection.
Please check if grease is adequately applied on the chain. If not, please apply.

- In case the problem is not solved,
there is a possibility that the driving parts may be broken. Please contact us.
Please check before contacting us :
1. Whether any sprockets are out upward of horizontal line of others
2. Observing from the discharge chute, if rows of the oval plates are horizontal to the fixed slits.

If the noise is from a motor

there is a possibility that the motor may have been broken. Please contact us.

For intermittent noise (KDS Separator is NOT working)

there is a possibility that the driving parts may have been broken. Please contact us.
Please check before contacting us :
