Adjusting Clamping Force
The clamping force needs adjusting if cans are being crushed or thrown from the
shake frame. Adjustments may also be required after changing the control board or
other components in the shake mechanism. The clamping force is specified in the
instructions (P/N 24040) that come with the replacement board. The adjustment kit
(P/N 24041) also comes with the same instructions.
Read all of the following instructions. If you have any doubt about performing these
procedures, please contact Customer Service at Fluid Management.
Refer to the Parts Section for component identification and location.
The optimum clamping force is specified in the instructions (P/N 24040) shipped with
the board. This process should be used to adjust the clamping force to a range within
that target. The range is expressed in terms of an “upper limit” and a “lower” limit.
Both the positioning spacer (P/N 24069) and the gauge (P/N 24124) are required in
executing this process.
Clamping Force Adjustment Procedure
