10.3. CAN CLAMPING
The ‘Can clamping’ function keeps the can blocked while the machine is shaking.
A motor guarantees the continuous clamping on the can, which is controlled by a dedicated sensor.
The clamping force is set in the factory during the final test on each shaker; in any case, the force can be
modified by a technician (through the Operator Panel) according to the needs/requirement of the customer.
Default values are:
-
Bigger cans (up to 35Kg)
= 350 Kg clamping force
-
Smaller cans (up to 10Kg) = 250 Kg clamping force
SO300 shaker has another sensor, which recognizes the size of the can in the inner shaking frame (bigger
or smaller can); according to that, the correct clamping pressure (1 or 2) is automatically chosen by the
machine itself.
If, while the machine is shaking, the above-mentioned sensor cannot detect the can anymore, the shaking
cycle is stopped and a warning noise is uttered.
10.4. CAN SHAKING
The shaking cycle starts by pressing one of the three buttons T1, T2, T3, which have 3 pre-set values with
different shaking times (1, 2 or 3 minutes, by default).
Also these 3 parameters have been pre-set in the testing phase (in the factory); in any case they can be
modified by a technician (through the Operator Panel) according to the needs/requirement of the customer,
previous consent of Fast & Fluid Management.
Shaking: after pressing button T1 (or T2 or T3) the upper plate lowers till it touches the can. After the sensor
has ascertained that the can is well clamped, the shaking starts.
At the end of the shaking, the upper plate goes up for about 4 second, and then stops.
Shaking can be stopped any time by pressing button Stop/Up, or the emergency button.
In this moment door can be opened and the can may be removed.
When shaking cycle is finished, please remember not to leave the can inside the machine.
11. LOADING THE CAN INTO THE MACHINE
Place the rubber
disk onto the can lid
Fix the can handle
with the rubber band
provided
Make sure that the
can is centered onto
the lower plate
It is possible to
shake several cans
with the same
height by using an
adaptor
12. ACOUSTIC WARNINGS
All operations are monitored by the resident program of the machine and in case of malfunctioning or at the
end of the shaking cycle, the machine gives out a warning sound. In case of malfunctioning the machine
immediately stops.
Here follow some examples of malfunctioning/warnings:
