- Lift Control Switch (UP/DOWN/PRESS)
Function : Raising/Lowering the lift.
“UP”------- Used when raising the lift. The lift moves up by air pressure.
“DOWN”--Used when lowering the lift. The lift moves down by its own weight.
“PRESS”- Used when setting the inductor plate in a pail and filling the inductor plate with material.
The lift speed is maintained at a constant level by the speed controller attached on the air inlet of the
air cylinder of the lift.
To operate : Adjust the switch to each position depending on the intended use.
Note
: At the “PRESS” mode, be careful not to put excess pressure on the lift. Material may escape through
the side of the packing around the inductor plate. Also, do not push “AIR” button during the “PRESS”
mode.
- AIR button, Inductor Plate
Function : Separating the inductor plate from a pail when a pail becomes empty.
To operate : Air is supplied as long as the button is depressed.
Note
: Pressing the button when a pail is not empty may be a cause of air bubbles in material.
- Bleeder Valve
Function : Removing air from the pump and inductor plate after setting the inductor plate in a pail.
To operate : Holding the hexagonal head with a wrench (13mm), counterclockwise turn will open the valve.
Clockwise turn (all the way) will close the valve. 3-4 turns will be enough for bleeding.
Note
: Be sure to close the valve securely after releasing air.
- Air Release Plug
Function : Removing air from the pump and inductor plate when setting the inductor plate in a pail. Open the
plug before inserting the inductor plate into a pail and close it once material comes out of the air
release hole.
To operate : Open and close by turning the plug holding the handle on the top by hand. Left turn will loosen the
plug. Right turn will tighten the plug. Be sure to securely turn it when closing (tightening).
3.2 Placement of pail
1
）
Adjust the lift control switch to “DOWN” before turning on air supply.
2
）
Gradually increase lift air pressure to 0.4MPa by adjusting the lift air regulator knob. Then adjust the lift control
switch to “UP” to raise the lift to the full height.
3
）
Turn the air release plug on the inductor plate 2-3 times counterclockwise to loosen it.
4
）
Place a 20 litre pail right under the inductor plate.
5
）
Turn the lift control switch to “DOWN” to lower the lift.
6
）
If the inductor plate and a pail are not concentric when the inductor plate reaches the brim of a pail, set the lift
control switch to “UP” to raise the lift and then readjust the position of a pail.
7
）
If the inductor plate cannot be inserted into a pail smoothly when the inductor plate reaches the brim of a pail, set
the lift control switch to “PRESS” to release the air built up between the inductor plate and material via the air
release plug. Keep releasing air until material comes out of the air release plug.
8
）
Once the air inside the inductor plate is completely released, adjust the lift control switch to “DOWN” and tighten
the air release plug.
9
）
In the event material doesn’t come out of the air release hole even though the lift control switch is set to
“PRESS”, please follow the following procedure:
①
Close the air release plug on the inductor plate.
②
Close the valve on the piping to prevent material from being discharged.
③
Open the bleeder valve by turning it 3-4 times for releasing air.
④
Open the air valve for the pump and increase air pressure gradually with the pump air regulator. The pump
will start operating at approx. 0.05MPa. Adjust the pump air regulator to set pump speed to 5-8 seconds per
cycle.
⑤
Set the lift control switch to “DOWN” to allow material to come out of the bleeder valve.
⑥
Once material comes out, adjust the lift control switch to “DOWN” and close the bleeder valve. Then, close
the air valve for pump and set the pump air regulator to 0MPa.
