Modify lns hydrobar

[Mcam Nut]

We are having a used machine installed next week, and it comes with a 20' lns hydrobar bar feeder. We don't have room for the barfeeder, but would if we could shorten it to 10-12 feet. Has anyone ever tried modifying one?

Unsure how much you know of them, / aplogys if im stating the obvious.

Ive replaced the liners in a few of these as an apprentice.

they are pretty snoozeworthy inside

once you take (and on one or two, carefully cut) the endcaps and end of bar sensor off there is just a bunch of moly tubes tacked to

plates that look like old telephone dials at regular intervals

(looks like a machine gun barrel)

 

the end caps screw into the telephone dial plates and are o-ringed to the outside big pipe.

(except the ones that were welded on)

 

summing up, although i never cut one down, there is no effort in doing so.

 

there is a sometimes bunch of extra length in the "feed fingers" too that you could cut down if it hasn't been done already,
