OPERATION: General Machine Setup
The following setup procedure assumes that the machine has been fully assembled and is ready
for operation without any product media.
•
Plug the mains power cord into a convenient electricity supply (Note the machines
operating voltage on the rating plate located at the rear of the machine).
•
Ensure all change parts are clean and secured in their correct positions.
.
•
Using two bottles manually adjust the height of the bottle platform using the handle located
on the right underside to achieve a small gap between the underside of the funnel and the
top of the bottle neck opening. Leaving a small gap of between 2mm and 3mm between the
underside of the funnel and neck opening of the bottle facilitates easy placement and
removal of bottles during operation.
•
Unscrew the two hand knobs located at the rear of the hopper mounting and adjust the
hopper to its lowest position so it touches the centre of the feed ring. Place a small amount
of product into the hopper so it fills the outlet and proceed to adjust the hopper position
accordingly so the hopper outlet allows tablets or capsules to be dispersed onto the feeder
ring. Once set tighten the two hand knobs. It is very important to ensure the hopper
provides a steady flow of tablets or capsules and does not become flooded with too much
product.
•
Switch on the mains supply and press the machines power button located at the front of the
machine. Wait for the HMI to initiate and follow the on-screen prompt “Touch Screen to
Continue”.
•
At the home screen press anywhere within the count box area to display the basic settings
screen. Adjust the count by pressing the target count settings box and set to a desired
target count using the number keypad and pressing the green ‘ENTER’ button. Proceed to
press the left arrow button to return to the home screen and then press anywhere within the
batch box area to display the batch settings screen. For this instance, set the batch mode
to CONTINUOUS and press the left arrow to return to the home screen.
•
At the home screen press and hold the blue ‘RESET’ button located within the count box
area for approximately 5 Seconds. Observe and listen for the flap to move from its current
position to the opposing position.
•
Load product into the Hopper ensuring tablets, capsules or gels are undamaged and have
been graded to avoid broken pieces, excessive dust and are not sticking together.
•
Ensure two empty bottles are located under each funnel outlet on the bottle platform.
•
Check all settings and proceed to press the ‘START’ on the home screen.
•
Once the machine starts tablets will proceed to flow out of the hopper and travel in a stream
around the feeder ring to the exit position located at the front of the machine. Vibration
control settings and the hopper outlet position may need to be adjusted to obtain optimum
feeding. Settings are explained in detail later in this manual. Note adjustments can only be
made when the machine is not in operation.
