๐ง Jammed Hopper โ Fertiliser Plant Repair
Bill attended a local fertiliser plant today after fault codes stopped fertiliser being processed through the metered paddle system.
After breaking it down, Bill identified a build-up of material on the side of the hopper creating too much friction and preventing the paddle from turning.
Working with the plant team, the area was cleaned and cleared before Bill returned to refit the covers, clear the fault codes and thoroughly test the paddle at different speeds and loads.
