VOLU-MATIC™ 500 RECOMMENDED START SETTINGS
NOTE 1: Use these settings as a starting guide only. Variations between materials of the same type and
variations between batches from the same manufacturer may require different settings than those suggested.
Remember, the material manufacturer’s instructions prevail since they guarantee the final results.
NOTE 2: Air pressure settings for sidewall operation are for dense pack, net fill, and drill & fill of outside
walls in older structures. Spraying sidewalls will result in higher pressure based on water in the air stream.
NOTE 3: Filling of tee post and corners will require that the machine be slowed down considerably to use
the 2" to 1" tapered nozzle.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Set the machine speed so that the panel mounted tachometer reading is no less than 1050 and no more than
1100 rpm for open blow operation. Reduce machine speed until tachometer reading is 800 - 850 for all
sidewall operations but spraying, reducing speed for spraying sidewalls will result in loss of vacuum pressure.
NOTE: Remove belts from generator when reducing speed for sidewall operations.
2.
Vary the air bleed pressure first. If you cannot get the desired results by opening or closing the air control
lever, then...
3.
Vary the slide gate next. If you cannot get the desired results by closing or opening the slide gate, then...
4.
Go to the next highest or lowest speed on the transmission. If you cannot get the desired results changing
the speed, then...
5.
Remove stator bar. If you cannot get the desired results by removing the stator bar, then start with varying
the air pressure again.
