7.1 PLASTICIZATION UNIT
7.1.1 EXTRUDER
Adjusting the operating parameters
The parameters that can be set are found on the “Extruder” page of the electronic control system.
The following parameters are included:
1 - Temperature of the heat treatment zones (it affects the quality, characteristics and dimensions of the caps; it must
correspond to the value given on the data sheet)
2 - Extruder motor speed % (only for manual operations; used for by-passing, changing color)
3 - Coolant temperature (used to lower the oil temperature of the geared motor and the area under the hopper where
the material must be solid).
The values of these parameters are given on the “Data sheet”
E0004P
WARNING!
- Refer to the Instructions B manual for the control system for information on how to set the parameters.
- When carrying out operations in manual mode, never set the extruder motor to a speed % higher than the speed
% used for the metering pump. This may cause over pressure in the pump suction line consequently shutting down
the machine.
7.1.2 METERING PUMP
Adjusting the operating parameters
The parameters that can be set are found on the “Extruder” page of the electronic control system.
The following parameters are included:
- Speed % of the pump motor (used to change the pellet weight; it has to correspond to the value indicated on the “Data
sheet”).
- Suction pressure that has to correspond to that indicated on the “Data sheet”.
- Pump-casing temperature (it affects the quality, characteristics and dimensions of the caps; it must correspond to the
value given on the data sheet)
