Suction tube fixed flange

for OURAGAN PLO sander

The fixed suction tube clamp on the belt sander is an important mechanical part that plays an essential role in holding and securing the suction tube in place. This part is usually located in a specific position on the belt sander and is designed to support the suction tube in a stable and secure manner.

The role of the fixed suction tube clamp is to ensure that the tube remains correctly positioned while the belt sander is in use. It helps to prevent unwanted movement or disconnection of the suction tube during sanding, maintaining a steady airflow and efficient collection of dust and debris.

When should I consider changing the fixed suction tube flange on my belt sander?

1. Wear or damage: if you notice any signs of wear, deformation or damage to the fixed flange, including cracks, breaks or missing parts, it is time to replace it. A damaged flange can compromise the correct attachment of the suction tube.

2. Movement or disconnection of the tube: if you notice that the suction tube tends to move or disconnect during use of the belt sander, this may indicate a problem with the fixed flange.

3. Poor tube fit: if the suction tube does not fit correctly into the fixed flange and this leads to air leaks or reduced dust collection efficiency, it may be time to check the flange and replace it if necessary.

In conclusion, the fixed suction tube clamp on the belt sander plays a crucial role in holding and securing the suction tube to ensure effective dust and debris collection. If you notice any signs of wear, damage, unwanted movement of the tube or problems with the fit, it is advisable to check the fixed flange and replace it if necessary. Make sure you choose a quality replacement fixed flange (Repex Floor certified) that is compatible with your model of belt sander. Regular replacement of the fixed flange will help maintain a clean and safe working environment while improving the overall performance of your belt sander.
