Here is a list of all the types of technical questions concerning sleeve shrink bottle filling machine that you can find.
Before the machine is put into operation for the first time, you must read and understand the important information about security.
Our machine is safety in line with the provisions of the Professional Association, and related to the application of safety laws, and the specification of machine guidance currently known. As long as the operation, appropriate and operating within the allowable range, the danger to the operator and the machine will be reduced to lower levels of the modern technology can be achieved.
Only when the operator or the machine is in danger, the emergency shutdown switch on the operating panel will be used to stop the machine. Under normal circumstances, this switch is not allow to touch.
Only in critical cases to use emergency shutdown switch!
Only the elimination of threat to the safety of operating personnel and machine, then the machine can be re-started!
Please pay attention to the use of the emergency stop button!
If you need to store the machine temporary in the midway, the storage site must meet the following requirements in order to prevent the temperature and humidity-sensitive components are damaged, corrosion:
Above practice also applies in the following situation:
Program units completely or partially lost due to storage time is too long or the buffer battery capacity is not enough.
This machine is built in accordance with the relative security rules. So its structure require the machine need to run and rotate manually under below condition, including adjustment, maintenance, reparation, and eliminate temporary failure.
If the switch is beyond the operator’s reach, or if there are several operators to work synchronously, it will be necessary to assign a particular one, who will be responsible to monitor the machine’s running and control the operation switch, and can not leave from his working position during production.
Every time before starting the machine, please make sure the bottle conveyor is clear and without any tools, cleaning utensil etc.
The especially important thing is to read all security rules and guidance notes for security staffs. In addition, make sure the following listing are clear for every one:
Upon arrival at the site and before installation and operation, check the machine to see if there is any damage. Check if the frame is distorted, if the electric cabinet is affected with damp; particularly check if there is any damage mark (for example collision mark) on any parts of the machine. In case of being unable to determine, please verify it with the manufacturer. In case of any damage, please inform the carrier immediately.
Before complete positioning of the machine, do not remove the package. Forklift can be used for handling this machine. Insert the fork from the bottom of the front side of the machine. Do not use wire rope for lifting and handling. Strict compliance with the above requirement is the precondition of safety installation, otherwise it may result in personal injury and damage to the machine.
Do not cover or block the ventilation fan motor in the electric cabinet with anything to ensure proper heat dispersion. Otherwise overheating of electric elements may result in damage to or unstable operation of the machine.
Make sure the power supply complies with the working power of this machine, and inconsistent voltage may damage the electric elements.
* Attention:
Inspection upon arrival of the machine at the site
Check if the machine is in good condition. In case of damage or incomplete package, please inform the carrier immediately.
Please check if the received machine is the same as you purchased, and check if the model indicated in the nameplate is the same as purchased.
Please check if all accessories for site installation have been received, and if they are complete and free from damage.
For handling, please consider 3 dimensions and installation clearance to make sure that there will be sufficient space for all connections and maintenance operations.
The standard environment to operate label sleeving machine shall be as followings:
Only professional persons can operate the electric units. Particularly, before any handling in the control cabinet, all power supple to the machine shall be disconnected. The main power supply may be switched off by disconnecting the main circuit breaker.
Manual label feeding will not work in case the clean-down unit is not turned on.
The main machine, conveyor and shrinking oven etc. shall be adjusted to be in one straight line. The centre of the conveyor and the cutter head centre of the main machine shall be aligned with each other and the reference plane shall be adjusted to be level. The foundation bolts of the main machine shall enter the support ground without any clearance. Check and confirm the voltage of the power supply. Enough space shall be left for positioning of the main machine for the convenience of future spot check and repair. The ambient temperature shall be not higher than 45°C to avoid defects of bought out components. The placed location of the main machine shall be free from direct blow of fan or cold air, and flowing air may impact label sleeving.
Cutter head unit | Built-in blade to conduct cutting operation to the shrinking film with planet matching type and deflection crankshaft steel structure. |
Machine frame | The whole machine adopts aluminium alloy, combined with anode treatment and 304 stainless steel, for supporting the main machine and fixed conveyor belt. |
Shrinking oven (electric heating or steam type) | Take advantage of heat from electric heating or steam to shrink and paste sleeved labels on the bottles. |
Driving unit | Single unit or double units synchronized servomotor is adopted for control to convey shrinking film at fixed dimension. |
Screw for bottle separation | Put sleeved material on the bottles and convey them at fixed clearance through the screw so that the bottles separate with equal distance and it is easier for label sleeving. |
Bottle carrying unit | Synchronized running at both sides, use only on hand wheel to adjust the height and bottle positioning, the purpose of which is to ensure no shaken of bottle during conveying and to be easier for setting of label sleeved height. |
Three-color caution light | During normal running, the green light is on; in case of lacking label film material, the yellow light is on; and during abnormal situation, the red light is flashing. |
Central column | To insert and pull of the label film material so that the film material can be conveyed and cut. |
Electric eye unit | Use electric eye to transfer signal and provide control system for fixed dimension conveying. Adjust location and height of the electric eye to determine cutting position of blade in the cutter head |
Hairbrush unit | Use rubber to brush the sleeved label to the fixed position. |
Clean-down unit | Synchronized adjustment mechanism adjust two transmission wheels of clean-down unit to slightly contact the roller at the bottom of the central column, and insert the label into the bottle with quite high rotating speed while labels pass through. |
Material rack unit | The fixed paper ring of label film material can be set after adjustment from 5” to 10”, and the output of material is carried out by a transmission roller reduction motor. |
Conveyor belt | The frequency converter is used to adjust the speed of conveyor belt so that it matches with the capacity of the machine. |
Electric eye for bottle monitor | Monitor bottles to the suitable location, output signal to automatically insert volume label. |
Material feeding unit | It is composed of material feeding box controlling label feeding tension and material feeding rack located above the electric eye rack unit for label turning and fixing, the purpose of which is for conveying of label film material. |
Human machine interface | It is the control backbone of the machine. The operation display pages include manual, automatic, setting, abnormal display etc., and there are several knobs and press buttons for the operation of the inserting volume label. |
In case it remains abnormal after adjustment, repeat the above steps and adjust the sensitivity knob on the sensor a little bit more or less in order to detect the proper position of the sensitivity knob.
Adjust as per the following figure, in case the label inserts to the bottle as showed in figure A, move the electric eye toward B direction. In case of figure C, move the electric eye from C towards B direction, until the label inserts to the bottle like showed in figure B.
The following phenomenon can be adjusted to be consistent through the knob on the panel.
Figure 1: Move the bottle monitoring sensor towards the direction of bottle coming out.
Figure 2: Move the bottle monitoring sensor towards the direction of bottle coming
