8.1 - Product Guide Adjustments (Cont’d)
Adjustments 4 & 5 – AIR GUIDE HEIGHT
The Air Guides work for all types of product
(tabs, caps, etc.). Compares to solid mechanical
guides, they separate the product better, are easier
to adjust and are not prone to stoppages that
require operator intervention.
Air Guide Height Adjustment
To set the Air Guides, loosen the knobs on the air
guide blocks. Use the handle on the air manifold
to rotate the Air Jets up or down.
Set the height of the Air Jets so that the air flows
just above the pills in the channel. Generally, they
should be set at approximately 2 pills high.
If set too low, the air will disturb the flow in the
channel, impeding the flow and possibly blowing
pills right out of the channel. If set too high, faults
might not be rejected. You can fine-tune this
adjustment while running the product during
testing.
Once set at the right height, tighten the knobs.
Note the position on the Height Scale.
Air Pressure Adjustment
This is adjustment is best made while running the
product during testing.
For first time setup, set the Air Pressure Relief
Ring so that the opening is unrestricted. As you
run the product, watch to see if doubles and
piggybacks are being rejected. Increase the air
pressure by rotating the ring upwards, until you
have satisfactory results.
Once set at the right height, tighten the knob. Note
