Spacer ring Ø17x25 for BLO edger

The spacer ring in the suction system of a BLO edger is a part which, as its name suggests, creates a space or gap between two components. Here are its main functions and when it may need changing:

1. Aligning components : The spacer ring can be used to ensure precise alignment between different parts of the suction system. It helps to maintain the correct arrangement of components, thus promoting the correct operation of the system.

2. Reduced friction: By creating a defined gap between moving parts, the spacer can help reduce friction. This can help to ensure smoother operation of the suction system.

When to change the spacer ring depends on a number of factors:

1. Normal wear and tear: Like any moving part, a spacer ring can undergo normal wear and tear over time as a result of regular use of the plasterer. Regular inspection may reveal signs of wear, such as excessive play between components, unusual noises, or operating difficulties.

2. Mechanical damage: Shocks, impacts or other mechanical damage can damage the spacer ring, resulting in the need to replace it to maintain the integrity of the suction system.

3. Changes to the system: If changes are made to the suction system, it may be necessary to adjust or replace the spacer rings to ensure correct operation.

4. Preventive maintenance: Some manufacturers may recommend periodic replacement of parts, including spacer rings, as part of a preventive maintenance plan to avoid potential breakdowns.

It is essential to consult the manufacturer of the Repex Floor machine for specific recommendations on the maintenance and replacement of spacer rings. If any problems are detected, such as obvious signs of wear or operating difficulties, it is recommended that the machine be inspected by a qualified technician. This professional will be able to assess the condition of the spacer rings and recommend replacement if necessary to ensure that the flanging machine's suction system operates correctly.
