5.6 Shutting Down and Cleaning Out the Machine
Table 5-5 Shutting Down and Cleaning Out the Machine
Step Action
Caution
When shutting down the machine for the day, Crafco recommends leaving the melter
about half full with material. This will give a fairly rapid heat up rate in the morning,
but allow enough material to start dispensing right away when the material becomes
molten.
1 Turn mixer “OFF”
2 Turn pilot control knob to “OFF”
3 Stop engine by turning the key to the “OFF” position.
5.7 Storing the Machine
Store the machine in an area where moisture cannot enter the heating system sach as hot oil,
controls, etc. Extended down time can cause moisture build up in the heating oil tank.
If there is any evidence that moisture has collected in the heat transfer oil, warm the heat transfer
oil to 300°F for two to three hours to evaporate the moisture.
