Kompac III GTO Overflowing

[Weeks Reichel Printing]

Need some advice on a problem that has come up. We have a 1984 GTO 52 that we had a Kompac III unit installed on about ten years ago. Never had any issues until recently when the unit was not releasing water. Purchased all 3 valves new. Now unit will not shut off water. It overflows. Tried everything even putting old parts back and still overflows. Help!

Royce recirculating?

If it has a gravity fed water bottle adjust the bottle height. Lower it a little.

Airleak, check bottle or "the other end" (I don´t know what the part is called in english, nozzle?) o-ring

junker asked if it had a Royce recirculator. If so you might want to try flushing out all the lines. Return lines are notorious for building up all kinds of nasty stuff. Once system is flushed out you need to balance the rate of feed against the systems ability to return.

All Items replaced are new. Did not solve problem. Tried different Kompac parts from my other presses as I have 2 others with Kompacs.
Raised and lowered bottle height but nothing makes a difference.

Then the nozzle is cracked or not under the water...
