OPERATION OF ROTO-PRESS
BRAKING CHAIN AND STAR ASSEMBLY
PURPOSE
The purpose of the braking chain and star is to assist in the braking action of the
wheels of the Roto-Press, so that in eff ect, less wheel brake is needed. The braking chain
and star does this by creating drag as it is pulled through the bagged product. The
assistance provided by the braking star will increase the braking power in less than ideal
ground conditions. This will result in more dense and uniform bags, with an overall
higher quality product.
INSTALLATION
The braking chain and star assembly is mounted to the Roto-Press via the rear post.
Supplied with this kit is a receiver (Part# RP110840), which is welded to the rear post at the
location specifi ed by drawing RP200329. The receiver is for mounting the braking chain
and star, and is to hold the braking chain and star assembly during transport. The braking
chain and star are mounted to the receiver by the 7/16 clevis supplied with this kit.
OPERATION
The braking chain and star will act as an invisible brake that you will not have to
adjust while bagging each individual bag.
1) The braking chain and star must be attached to the hitch plate and set loose on the
bottom of the bag.
2) Setup and start the Roto-Press as outlined in your operator’s manual.
3) As the bag comes off the Roto-Press, the braking chain and star will automatically
extend as the machine moves forward and create a braking force.
4) The fi nal adjustment of bagging pressure, as indicated by bag stretch, will still be
controlled by the braking of the wheels. However, the operator should notice a signifi cant
decrease in the amount of wheel pressure that is needed.
5) The amount of braking force created by the braking chain and star can be changed by
rotating the position of the star and the drags that are bolted to it. When the drags are
mounted with the short side bolted to the star, more braking force is created. When the
long side is bolted to the star, less braking force is created. The drags can be bolted on in
basically any combination.
6) Due to the variables that exist in diff erent products and ground conditions, the setup
of the braking chain and star will largely be based on operator experience.
