The sorter chain is shipped with grease applied to protect it from corrosion during
storage and shipping. When the oiling system is first run, the oil will begin washing
the grease off the chain. It is normal for a new sorter to discharge some oil and
grease (typically deposited at the drive and tail). This discharge will reduce in volume
once the grease has been washed off the chain (typically 10-20 oiler cycles with
normal operation).

Drive Motor Settings
1.
VFD settings and limits specific to each individual sorter will be provided as part of the engineering
process, if applicable. Contact ZiPline for details.
2.
Observe the motion of the sorter chain and slats immediately upstream of the drive sprocket: if the
slats are moving closer together during deceleration, deceleration rate should not be increased any
more.
