Maguire SW Series Sweeper Basic Operation

The SWEEPER gets its name from the fact that it
continuously "sweeps" the top level of the
contents of the Gaylord to the outer edges. The
material is vacuumed up the rotating vertical pick
up tube assembly, which in turn has a flexible
hose and wand assembly that rotates. As the pick
up tube assembly rotates the material is drawn up
thru the vertical portion, and into the
manufacturing process.

The motor that rotates the pick up tube is only
activated when vacuum is sensed from the users
conveying system. As the unit unloads the material
from the gaylord, the counterbalance system
allows the motor / control assembly to lower and
follow the level of the material. When the sweeper
reaches to the bottom of the gaylord, there will be
a small amount of material remaining, which can
be easily removed with the Gaylord liner and
returned to inventory.

The whole system is very portable and can be
easily transported from one location to another.

Available in six models sizes.

 SW-4815 - 48-inch clearance, 1.5" (38mm) hose diameter.
 SW-4820 - 48-inch clearance, 2.0" (50mm) hose diameter.
 SW-4825 - 48-inch clearance, 2.5" (63mm) hose diameter.
 SW-8415 - 84-inch clearance, 1.5" (38mm) hose diameter.
 SW-8420 - 84-inch clearance, 2.0" (50mm) hose diameter.
 SW-8425 - 84-inch clearance, 2.5" (63mm) hose diameter.

Power Requirements: 120 VAC or 230 VAC, model dependent.

Available optional Sweeper Cover that completely
covers the material in the gaylord. Part number
GLC-4848.

SWEEPER SET-UP

Your unit consists of 3 basic separate assemblies:

1. The stand assembly

2. The vertical frame assembly

3. The pick-up tube assembly

FIRST STEP - ASSEMBLE THE STAND

Refer to drawings for identification and location of parts & hardware.
The rear stop bar can be placed in an upper or lower position to suit the
dimensions of the material Gaylord.

SECOND STEP - BOLT THE VERTICAL ASSEMBLY TO STAND

1. Refer to enclosed drawing for
identification and location of parts
& hardware. Please note that the
front or sloped side of the sweeper
assembly should face the leg that
has the chain catch plate. Ensure
to center the vertical assembly on
the frame of the stand.

THIRD STEP – ATTACH THE PICK-UP TUBE ASSEMBLY

2. First, remove the aluminum end guard by
removing the two self-tapping screws (see
photo). Allow the clear Lexan® chain guard
to hang down. It is not necessary to remove
the Lexan® chain guard.

3. Remove the four (4) locknuts and washers
that are attached to the sprocket hub
assembly.

4. Raise the motor control assembly to allow for
clearance to insert the pick up tube assembly
into the pulley hub assembly. Slowly, push
upward until the flange is seated firmly
against the sprocket hub assembly.

5. Reinstall and tighten the four ¼-20 locknuts
and washers. Please refer to enclosed
assembly instructions for details.

(2) Remove end guard

(5) Reinstall washers, locknuts (6) Reinstall end guard

(4) Insert pickup tube

6. Reinstall the aluminum end guard and tighten screws. Note: Be sure there is clearance
between Gaylord frame top member.

Drive Chain Adjustment

If the chain needs adjustment, remove the clear Lexan® portion of the chain guard.
Loosen the (4) four machine screws. Apply pressure to the rear of the motor (This will
apply tension to the chain and sprocket). Do not apply too much force to the chain tension.
Then tighten the (4) screws at the bottom of the motor / bracket assembly. Re-install the
clear Lexan® belt guard.

Counter balance weights

The assembly has a counterbalance system that is set at the factory to favor
a downward brush direction to sweep the material efficiently. We have included
additional weights, with your unit. Additional weights may be needed if the brush /
wand assembly requires less downward force such as preventing the brush / wand
from burying itself into the process material.

Controls

The main power switch is located at the base of the vertical frame member. When the
power is turned “ON” the green indicator light will glow indicating power is on. The
yellow indicator light directly below the green indicator light will indicate when the
vacuum is present. The JOG button rotates the sweeper mechanism into a
convenient position to allow for material gaylord insertion and removal. When the
JOG button is depressed this yellow indicator light will glow.

Fuse Location

The 2 amp control circuit fuse is located under the aluminum motor cover.

Use 2 AMP Slow Blow Fuse 115 VAC and 230 VAC

Vacuum Switch

The vacuum switch is also located under the aluminum motor cover. This switch
activates the motor control circuit as soon as it “sees” vacuum in the material line. It
is factory preset.
