START/STOP BUTTON:
The START/STOP button controls the machine start and stop of this Nautilus stoner.
When start button is pressed, it will start air, eccentric motion, timer for the high-end
gate and activate the dust hood light. When stop button is pressed it will stop the
operation of the stoner completely.
FEED RATE:
The feed rate can be controlled with external feed bin or vibrating feeder. Built in
feeder with 6-inch round inlet located on top of the dust hood as shown in figure 8
and labelled with balloon 1. The external feeder controls the amount fed onto the
separating deck. You must supply your own feeder control or can be purchased as
option from the factory.
The feed rate, whether fast or slow, should be uniform and free of surges.
Surges in the incoming feed will show up in the discharge of the machine as a poor-
quality separation. We suggest the use of surge bins above the feeder, if processing
will be interrupted.
Generally, the average feed rate is determined by the average capacity of the
processing line of equipment. For optimum separation on your stoner, your feed
rate should be as low as possible without falling below the minimum feed rate at
