Automatic processes
Stirring
is a timed process, activated automatically to properly store the product in the canisters and keep it in ideal,
homogeneous conditions for dispensing, through the movement of stirring paddles inside canisters.
The duration and the interval between one stirring cycle and another can be customized via the configuration software,
based on the nature of the products used on the machine.
The
Recirculation
process is similar to the dispensing process, but without the colorant coming out of the nozzle, that
is to say with the valve closed. The process moves the colorant through some parts of the dispensing circuit, avoiding
pigment sedimentation.
DANGER
Do not set a stirring time higher than 30 minutes and an interval between one stirring process and another lower than
the stirring time.
We recommend to keep the canisters closed with their corresponding lids; do not insert hands in the canister even
when no colorant is present.
Cleaning
of the dispensing nozzles is a process that allows to wipe with a brush the nozzle of each circuit. The brush is
activated and the turntable rotates so as to leave the nozzle of circuit at a time on the brush for few seconds.
If configured, the machine can carry out automatic timed cleaning of nozzles of all circuits.
After each dispensing, the cleaning process of the circuit involved in dispensing starts.
When automatic process is in progress, the machine can still be used; the process will be suspended and restarted after
a few seconds that the machine is inactive.
6.5 Refilling the canisters
The colorant refilling procedure must be carried out using the function provided in the dispensing software.
1. Select the canister filling option in the dispenser software. The selected canister is brought to the filling position.
2. Open the cover in the dispenser upper part.
3. Remove the lid of the canister to be filled.
Shake the container of colorant to be poured into the canister manually. Do not use automatic shakers.
4. Add the desired colorant to the canister, by pouring it so as to avoid spattering or creating air emulsions in the
colorant.
WARNING
The colorant level MUST NOT exceed the maximum level, placed at 5 cm (2”) from the upper edge of the canister.
Colorant spills cause the circuit pumping unit to be blocked.
5. Close the canister with its corresponding lid.
6. Repeat the above steps to fill other canisters.
