Tornado Tempest Shaker Bar Cover K55002550

This is the bar cover in the Tornado Tempest shaker assembly. Tacony’s parts book names it Bar Cover and shows it on the shaker assembly breakdown, which is how we have titled it — there is no dealer description for this number and we are not going to invent one.

What the Shaker Bar Cover Does

The cover keeps the dust the cleaning bar knocks off the filter from packing into the mechanism it has just come off. On a machine whose whole purpose is to move large volumes of fine dust, keeping that dust out of the moving parts is what decides whether the shaker still works in two years.

Where It Sits on the Machine

It covers the filter cleaning bar on the Tempest shaker assembly diagram.

When to Replace It

Replace the cover if it is cracked, distorted, or missing. A missing cover is worth replacing rather than running without: the mechanism it protects is made up of parts that cost considerably more, and dust packed into a linkage is what turns a cheap bushing job into a seized shaker.

Fitting Notes

Clear any packed dust from the mechanism while the cover is off. Fit the cover so it sits down fully without fouling the bar’s travel, then work the shaker by hand through a complete cycle and listen for contact before closing the machine up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no price shown for this part?

Tacony does not currently publish a price for part number K55002550 in the dealer system we buy from, and we will not invent a number. Call Twin City Vacuum at 763-535-0770 with the part number and we will quote it, confirm availability and check it against your machine before anything ships.

Can I run the machine with the bar cover missing?

You can, but the shaker mechanism will pack with dust much faster and the parts it protects are more expensive than the cover. If a cover has broken, it is worth replacing before the linkage starts to bind.
