Fan housing

for OURAGAN PLO belt sander

The belt sander fan cage is a mechanical part that plays a crucial role in the collection system for dust and debris generated during the sanding process. This part is located close to the sander motor and is designed to create an air flow that directs harmful particles towards the collection system.

The role of the fan cage is to create a powerful suction by generating an airflow that draws dust and debris particles through the suction system. In this way, it helps to maintain a clean working environment by preventing the dispersion of dust in the air.

When should I consider changing the fan cage in the suction section of my belt sander?

1. Reduced performance: if you notice a reduction in the overall efficiency of the belt sander's dust collection system, if dust collection is less efficient, or if you notice a reduction in airflow, this may indicate that the fan cage is not working properly.

2. Unusual noises: excessive noises, vibrations or unusual squeaking noises coming from the suction part of the sander may indicate that the fan cage is damaged or worn.

3. Wear or damage: like any moving part, the fan cage can wear out with time and regular use. Visible cracks, deformation or damage may appear on the cage, which could compromise its smooth operation.

In conclusion, the fan cage of the belt sander is a crucial part in creating a powerful airflow that effectively collects dust and debris during sanding. If you notice any signs of reduced performance, unusual noises or signs of wear or damage to the fan cage, it is advisable to check it and replace it if necessary. Make sure you choose a quality replacement fan cage that is compatible with your Repex Floor belt sander model. Replacing the fan cage will help maintain a clean and safe working environment while improving the overall performance of your belt sander.
