    random occurrence today. Up and running at 10,000 on 14 x 20 100# gloss cover. Started getting some doubles toward the bottom of the stack. No biggie, Reloaded and kept doubling. Checked the feeder and the separator blowers (2 inner blowers) were not blowing air. Main blower getting air, aux blowers (outside) blowing air just fine. Took apart the feeder and blew out everything, replaced filters in the pump, pump appears to have adequate pressure. Anyone experienced anything like this before?

    On the 524 GX to the left of the receiving slipway at the bottom there are regulators for straightening the sheet and inflating the hose coming from the blower flew off twice.

    there is also a problem with the bearings of the blowers.
    approximately 10 years of operation lead to the jamming of bearings and the combustion of the electric motor.
    when the windings overheat, the protection usually does not work. bearings are needed with heat-resistant lubrication and thermal clearance "C3"
