Hi everyone out there, got another issue.
Recently I was washing a press with a Kompac system. (I am just learning) I was washing the kompac with a rag as I was spinning the main wheel to turn the rollers over. As I turned the wheel, the rag was pulled into the kompac. It went in a couple inches max. The pressman happened to be there when I was doing it and he freaked and said you cant do that and now its screwed and it may never be the same.
I pulled the rag back out with little trouble.
This was a month a go, and now he is complaining that its leaking water and he is having all these problems. Its a 9910D press.
My question is, is it possible to total wreck a $3500 rag with such a slight mistake? I realize that it is possible to misplace the roller alignment and even crush the roller.
He is having problems with it, but I think he adjusted a bunch of things and maybe that is why he is having problems. So let me know what you guys think, are these kompacs as fragile as my pressman is saying!?
