6.3 Lubrication
6.3.1 Lubrication Procedure
Use the following procedure to lubricate
the wrapper.
1. Use a food-grade grease to lubricate
the gears for the finwheels and cutting
head.
2. Use a food-grade grease to lubricate
the cutting head bearing block slides.
To prevent malfunctions and damage to the
wrapper, check the equipment for correct
reassembly and for tools, supplies etc. left
lying in or on the machine.
DANGER
When lubricating this equipment,
always lockout the main power
disconnect lever per OSHA
Standard 1910.147. This
precaution must be taken to avoid
the possibility of a serious shock
hazard, or an accidental cycling of
the wrapper causing an injury. It
is also recommended that the air
supply is disconnected from the
wrapper before beginning.
6.3.2 Lubrication Schedule
Most of the components have been
lubricated and sealed at the factory and
should require no further lubrication.
However, some components may require
lubrication periodically.
The lubrication schedule applies to normal
production conditions. In the case of
very dusty products or in extremely dry
packaging departments, shorter lubricating
intervals are necessary.
6.3.3 Lubricant Specifications
When lubrication is necessary, use the
following lubricants:
•
Copa-Slip, Bosch P/N-119002 (Use this
anti-seize compound for all fasteners
on the finwheels, auxiliary finwheels,
and the cutting head.)
•
Lubriko Grease, Bosch P/N-273164
Mineral oils - Mineral oils used generally
contain foam-retarding and anti-corrosive
additives.
Oils with EP (extreme pressure) additives
are especially recommended for heavily
loaded gears. These prolong the life of
sprocket and worm gears.
Synthetic oils - Due to their high aging
resistance, synthetic oils are especially
suitable for long-time lubrication of gears.
WARNING
Never intermix mineral oils with
synthetic oils! Lubricating oils or
lubricating greases of differing
brands and differing grades are not
to be intermixed.
