MOUNTING OF THE PLASTIC FILM
5.1
When loading a plastic roll, first push back the Stretch rollers (3) until held in position by
locking catch (4). Then loosen locking bolt (1) and raise top cone (2) and lock in raised position.
5.2
Place a roll of film on to the Dispenser. Drop the top cone down and apply pressure to the top of
the shaft to compress the spring and allow the locking bolt to close one of the grooves in the
shaft.
5.3
Pull the film between the rollers on the pre-stretcher in the direction of the arrow. (See
fig. 5-2). (See also the sticker on the dispenser).
5.4
Release the locking catch and allow the rollers to lie against the roll of film
5.4
Pull out the film and tie it to the bale.
5.5
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF DISPENSER/
PLASTIC FILM.
It is important that the plastic film is applied to the center of the bale, and therefore it can
be necessary to adjust the height of the Dispenser. The Dispenser may be adjusted to
different heights. Disconnect the locking bolt, and adjust the dispenser so that the plastic
hits in the middle of the bale. Replace the locking bolt and the splint.
The Tanco film Dispenser supplied with all 404 machine is capable of using several
different sizes of film rolls. 500 mm, 360 mm and 250 mm plastic film can all be used
but care must be taken that the correct level of overlap is used as you need turntable
roller speeds for different films. (see also 6.4 Overlap)
