Service manual

Optimum cycle speed is determined by a variety of factors. During run-off you should
have been given optimum cycle speeds. However, a good rule of thumb is, the faster the
machine, the higher the temperature and/or the greater the pressure needed for quality
seals. Speed may also be dictated by the filling process. Optimum settings for various
products and various container styles may be stored in the Recipe menu of the touch
screen HMI.
Note: Recipes stored do not change the machine, they are for reference only.
Operating the Machine:
Load cups into the cup drop station. Ensure that the cup drop cams are adjusted to
release a cup immediately after the cup pocket on the dial plate stops under the cup drop.
If the cup drops too late the sensor underneath will not have read that there is a cup and
as such the filler will not be signaled to perform, and the foil will not be placed on the
container. For more information on adjusting the cup drop cams see the section on the
cup load 101-001-0006.
Place foils into the machine. Remember to place foils into the machine upside down as
they will be rotated down onto the container.
Turn the “Zone 1 ON/OFF” to the ON position. This will enable the filler to perform, it
will enable the foil place to perform and will turn on the temperature
controller.
You will immediately get a fault showing on the touch screen for
“Zone 1 Temp fault.” The temperature controller is factory set to send
an alarm when it is 35 or more Degrees above or below the target
temperature.
Wait for the temperature to reach the target
and then hit the “Fault Reset” button on the touch screen.
The optimum temperature setting should have been given to
you during run-off. Generally speaking the cup and seal manufacturers will have the
specs for sealing the containers, but this may also vary on operating conditions and cycle
speed.
