Controls and Their Functions
NOTE: This general outline will only familiarize you with the machine. Read through
the entire manual before putting this machine into operation.
1)
Tank Outlet Valve:
Allows melted material from the tank to flow into the pumping
system.
2)
Access Port:
The sealing wand is placed in here when not in use. This allows opera-
tor to continue circulating material through the hose to prevent material from cooling and
freezing up.
3)
Loading Door (2 on Model 225):
Place the material on safety door to load the melt-
ing tank.
4)
Oil Temperature Gauge:
Monitors the heat transfer oil temperature.
5)
Material Temperature Gauge (optional):
This gauge shows the temperature of
material inside the melting tank. This gauge is for reference before pumping starts.
Once pumping begins, gauge (6) will be an exact reading of material passing through
the system. (Not shown)
6)
Material Temperature Gauge:
Reads material temperature as it pumps through
plumbing system.
7)
Pressure Valve:
This valve controls the flow rate of the material being pumped to the
hose and sealing wand by changing the pressure setting. (Turning the valve clockwise
will increase the pressure which in turn will increase the flow). During sealing opera-
tions, this valve alone can be used to regulate flow.
8)
Sealing Hose Valve:
Opening this valve will allow the material being pumped to flow
through the hose and sealing wand. The valve should be in the full "on" position during
operation to prevent flow restriction.
9)
Agitation Drive Control Knob:
Rotate knob counterclockwise to start agitation.
Rotate knob clockwise to reverse agitation, which is useful for dislodging material.
Center position is neutral.
10)
Pressure Gauge:
This gauge measures the pressure required to turn the agitator. By
observing this gauge, the operator can tell if the agitator is rotating.
11)
Pump Drive Control Knob:
Rotate knob counterclockwise to start material pump for
sealing operation. Rotate the knob clockwise to reverse the material flow. Reverse
flow is used for system cleanout. Center position is neutral.
