De-Jamming the RTP 9®
Some reasons why an RTP 9® might jam are:
• The fill depth is set too low and the pressure is set too high. At its highest punch pressure
force, the machine will automatically cut off.
• There is a build up of powder sticking to the Tooling.
Tools and Materials Needed
• Set of metric Allen keys with ball ends
• Disposable latex/rubber gloves (for food grade products and to protect hands from grease)
• Hairnet and/or beard net (food grade products only)
• Sterile shoe covers (food grade products only)
Instructions
Note: Wear latex/rubber gloves (and appropriate food grade attire if applicable) during this
process.
Method 1: Lower the Punch Pressure
1. Remove all the excess powder.
2. Rotate the lefthand knob on the console clockwise to its limit.
3. Rotate the righthand knob on the console clockwise to its limit.
4. Insert the Handle into the Drive Belt Pulley socket.
5. Turn the Handle until the machine turns over.
WARNING:
To prevent any potential personal injury, ALWAYS unplug the RTP
9® before dejamming it.
