Maintenance
The taping heads have been designed for long, trouble free service. The taping head will perform best when it
receives routine maintenance and cleaning. Taping head components that fail or wear excessively should be
promptly repaired or replaced to prevent damage to other portions of the head or to the product.
WARNING – TURN OFF CONVEYING SYSTEM ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
BEGINNING MAINTENANCE. IF ELECTRICAL POWER IS NOT TURNED OFF, SEVERE INJURY
TO PERSONNEL COULD RESULT. USE CARE WHEN REPLACING BLADES AS BLADES ARE
EXTREMELY SHARP. IF CARE IS NOT TAKEN, SEVERE INJURY TO PERSONNEL COULD RESULT.
Cleaning Of The Taping Heads
CAUTION – NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE DIRT FROM TAPING HEADS BY BLOWING IT OUT
WITH COMPRESSED AIR. THIS CAN CAUSE THE DIRT TO BE BLOWN INSIDE THE
COMPONENTS, AND ONTO SLIDING SURFACES. DIRT IN THESE AREAS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. NEVER WASH DOWN OR SUBJECT TAPING HEADS TO CONDITIONS
CAUSING MOISTURE CONDENSATION ON COMPONENTS. SERIOUS EQUIPMENT DAMAGE COULD
RESULT.
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of dust and paper chips when conveyed through the taping
heads. If this dust is allowed to build-up on the heads, it can cause wear on the moving components. Excessive
dirt build-up should be wiped off with a damp cloth. Cleaning should be done once per month, depending on the
number and type of boxes used. If the boxes used are dirty, or if the environment in which the heads operate is
dusty, cleaning on a more frequent basis may be necessary.
Cut-Off Blade
Should tape adhesive build-up occur, carefully wipe clean with oily cloth.
Blade Oiler Pad
The taping heads are equipped with a blade oiler pad to provide a film of oil on the cut-off blade to reduce adhe-
sive build-up. Saturate oiler pad with SAE #30 non-detergent oil. The blade oiler pad will become worn during
normal operation. Replace the blade oiler pad when the felt is worn.
