SECTION 5
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GLASS WASHING MACHINES
13
Do not wash rubber-covered rollers with products
that contain high levels of petroleum based
compounds.
If the Washer has a water heater, verify that the
heating element is totally submerged in the water
before turning the machine “ON”. Frequent
checks of the water level during operation are
highly recommended.
STARTING THE WASHER
Verify proper electrical grounding of the Washer.
Turn the main power switch on the electrical
control panel to “
ON ”.
Start the conveyor and adjust the speed to suit the
operating conditions. Generally, the speed
between 10 to 12 feet per minute (about
⅓
full
speed) is a good start.
Adjust the brushes. For instructions see Section
6: Maintenance .
The glass thickness adjustment is made on the
upper frame only. To adjust for thicker glass,
loosen the upper nut(s) on the upper frame support
and turn the lower nut(s) to raise the frame. To
adjust for thinner glass, loosen the upper nut(s) on
the upper frame support and turn the lower nut(s)
to lower the frame. When the adjustment is
completed, retighten the upper nut(s) to secure the
frame.
Some Washer models have the optional patented
Somaca air-activated glass thickness adjustment
system. The clearance bars a factory-set to
prevent the insertion of glass that is too thick.
If the Washer uses a detergent tank, ensure that
the water level is above the pump intake. Push
the “
SPRAY CHECK ” button on the operator
console to start the pumps. Add enough
detergent, according to the detergent
manufacturer’s recommendations, to clean the
glass. In some applications, detergent may not be
necessary to produce clean glass.
Strong solutions can damage rubber-covered
rollers. Use only a detergent at the
manufacturer’s recommended level.
If the Washer has a water heater, set the
thermostat to maintain a temperature of 120
º-
130ºF. Higher temperatures may result in
“steaming”. In any case,
DO NOT
exceed
170ºF. Higher temperatures will damage the
rubber rollers.
Check the water level in each tank for correct
volume.
With the “ SPRAY CHECK ” button on, adjust the
flow of the rinse water. A “fine stream” will help
reduce fresh water consumption. A mixing valve
or hot and cold shutoffs should feed the rinse
section with water at 80
º to 110ºF.
Too much water can cause poor drying.
Push the “ SPRAY CHECK ” button again to turn
the pumps off. Push the machine “ START ”
button to begin running a rest piece of glass. Push
the conveyor “
START ” button. Run the sample
piece of glass through the Washer and inspect.
Make any necessary adjustments.
