De-Jamming the RTP 118
®
Some reasons why an RTP 118
®
might jam are:
• The fill depth is set too low and the pressure is set too high. At its highest punch pressure
force, the machine will automatically cut off.
• There is a build up of powder sticking to the Tooling.
Tools and Materials Needed
• Set of metric Allen keys with ball ends
• Disposable latex/rubber gloves (for food grade products and to protect hands from grease)
• Hairnet and/or beard net (food grade products only)
• Sterile shoe covers (food grade products only)
Instructions
Note: Wear latex/rubber gloves (and appropriate food grade attire if applicable) during this
process.
Method 1: Lower the Punch Pressure
1. Remove all the excess powder.
2. Rotate the left-hand knob on the console clockwise to its limit.
3. Rotate the right-hand knob on the console clockwise to its limit.
4. Insert the Handle into the Drive Belt Pulley socket.
5. Turn the Handle until the machine turns over.
WARNING:
To prevent any potential personal injury, ALWAYS unplug the RTP
118
®
before de-jamming it.
