Service manual

Unfortunately, you are talking about making a square rack go through a round hole (or bend, it is the same

physics). And that one account you’ve seen or heard about will not help you here. It is a matter of the rack

turning in the diamond shape when the next rack pushes against it. That is when everything bunches up

and comes to a stop—approximately ¾ of the way into the arc. You can spend time and money trying to

make this work, but in the end you will learn what everyone else has, an employee will have to stand there

and pull the racks around. The high number of tables with these existing bands in the market place does not

make the physics any less real.

It is recommended that on a very short conveyor clean table, a table limit switch be added on the end and

the band removed. This solution will cause less wear on the conveyor clutch parts.

“The soil table has a pre-rinse sink right next to the entrance and the machine is always turning on the ﬁ ll

solenoid, the chemical usage is very high, what can I do to stop this?”

All the water that comes out onto the soil table is draining down the pre-rinse sink’s drain and is lost. The

machine senses the empty wash tank and turns off the heaters for safety and turns on the ﬁ ll solenoid. This

action removes heating and takes away city water pressure—two of the most important needs for the

cleaning process. This problem affects all equipment with open ends (conveyors).

Solution: The ADS installation Instructions and spec sheets clearly indicate that the minimum distance of any

sink or drain to a conveyor table is 20” or the length of one rack.

“How do I treat rust stains on stainless steel?”

When iron or carbon steel particles come in contact with stainless sheet metal or other stainless

components, the rust oxides can attach to the stainless surfaces and begin to corrode. High concentrations

of chlorine accelerate the oxidation. If this is left unchecked and untreated, the rust will damage the

structure of the stainless metal. Clean all rust stains and hand buff the metal clean and shiny with a ﬁ ber

abrasion pad. Never use “steel wool” scouring pads to clean stainless. Treat with de-lime products after

cleaning stains.
