SERVICE TIP

This is a production idea aimed at keeping your packerhead machine running better and saving time on rollerhead cleanup. First, make sure all cavities are clean, then simply spray insulation foam into the cavities of each roller. Let the foam expand, set, and harden - usually overnight - then trim off the excess.

Use of the foam prevents concrete from filling up the roller cavities, thus keeping down the weight of the rollers. This allows the pipe machine to run more smoothly. Also, rollerhead cleanup time is reduced since one foam application can keep concrete out for a considerable period of time.
