Ram Control Module:
These switches control the ram movement, purge, and blow-off
functions:
S
Ram Down:
The two push buttons located on each side of the control panel activate the
downward movement of the ram. Both push buttons must be pressed at the same time
and held in to manually lower the follower into the drum.
S
Ram Up:
This push button controls the upward movement of the ram. It must be pressed
and held in to move the ram. Releasing the push button stops the upward movement and
places the ram in the
Neutral
position.
NOTE:
The
Neutral
position does not mechanically lock the ram. Air pressure remains
in the ram cylinders. Small air leaks in the circuit can cause the ram to move. When
necessary, use support blocks to prevent the ram from moving.
S
Blow-off:
This push button activates the air that goes through a port in the follower and into
the drum. The air pressurizes the pail with enough air to raise the follower from the pail.
S
Purge:
This push button cycles the inactive pump during drum changes for material
purging on automatic changeover units.
