1. Check the air pressure to the PBC 6000. Minimum pressure should be 90 PSI (6,2 bar) with
the capacity to provide 400 SCFH (11,3 SCMH) and the airflow gage should be set to at least
400 SCFH (11,3 SCMH).
2. Examine all belts for wear and determine if they need to be tightened or adjusted.
3. Check creaser wheel groove and blade for cleanliness, wear and proper alignment. Make
sure the set screws are tight.
4. Lubricate the spur drive gears to the channel assemblies. Use high-temperature grease only,
to prevent grease contamination to other
parts of the machine.
Use sparingly!
5. Check the drive chain tension for the lift
mechanism of the frame. Make sure that
the tension completely holds the chain on
the teeth of the sprocket gears. Lubricate
the drive chain and gears at least twice a
year.
6. Replace air pre-filter and filter if dirt or oil
is in the air system. Check the pneumatic
lines for wear and replace them as needed.
7. Check the shoulder bolts for the swing
channel pivot points (
Illustration 8.1
) for
excessive wear that will warrant
replacement.
8. Test the bag jam detection to make sure
that the swing channel will open if a bag
jams in the system. Fold over a sample bag twice to make the bag thick and insert it into the
infeed so that the bag is only going to contact the carry through belts. The swing channel
should open due to the proximity switch within the fixed channel.
9. Check the airflow sensor, by reducing the flow using the main regulator. Perform this test
while the system is “ON”, without any bags going through the system. The machine should
turn “OFF”, when the flow has gone below the safe margin.
