 Procedure Protocol:

1.2. Before starting up the machine:

● Check that the safety devices are working.

● Make sure that the transfers of the containers onto the adjacent hinge chains are
carried out properly.
● Check that the side conveying guides installed on the conveyor belts are adjusted
correctly in relation to the containers to be processed.
● Check on the pressure gauge that the compressed air pressure is sufficient.
● Check that all the parts requiring lubrication are lubricated.
● Check that there are no tools, components of the machine free, or other objects on
the machine.

1.3. Make new Format

● The easiest way is to copy an existing recipe and edit it.

● enter "set up".
● choose the height in "offset machine level" it is advisable to put 3 or 4 mm more than
the height of the jug.
● press save.
● In "pusher" you can change the speed or the "near layer".
● In "front bar" you can change "near layer" if the pallet is different and requires more
or less compacting.
● In "outfeed motors" you can change the speed, "synchro" when all the machines
work and "synchro 2" when only the depalletizer works.

1.4. Format change:

● Make sure that the line and depalletizer are completely empty, must be stopped and
with no alarms.
● Access the “MAIN MENU” page via the Touch Screen panel. [1].
● Enter “RECIPES” [2].
● Select the format to be processed via the “+” or “-” commands. [3].
● Select the work cycle in “AUTOMATIC” and start running [4]. The machine will now
position itself for the processing of the selected format.
● Check that the grippers are in the correct position [53], if not, adjust them manually
[54].

1.5. Recipes we have:

● 390ml: this recipe was created by FBL technician [55].

● 720ml: to create this recipe we modify the previous one by only changing the height
of the jar [56].

 Procedure Protocol:

1.6. Starting and running at full speed:

● If the luminous push button “ALARM RESET” [6] does not turn off, check for the
presence of any alarms on the control panel. In case of alarms, access the
“ALARMS” page in the touch-screen panel and check out the problem. Act
accordingly to solve the problem. After having eliminated the causes, press the
“ALARM RESET” pushbutton once again.
● Select the desired machine operating cycle, either MANUAL or AUTOMATIC using
the relevant controls found in the “MAIN PAGE” of the touch-screen panel.
● By selecting the MANUAL MODE [5] ,(cycle to be used for the first installation, during
maintenance operations and during the manual handling of the machine
apparatuses), it is possible to move the various machine applications independently.
Attention to the operations being carried out.
○ Press reset if it is illuminated.
○ Press manual.
○ Choose what you want to move.
○ Press manual command (if you release the button it stops. To be able to
move something the sensors must be green, to ensure that the position is
correct).
● By selecting the AUTOMATIC MODE [4] (cycle to be used during regular production)
○ Select the recipe.
○ Select automatic mode.
○ Press start (the depalletizer will rise to the highest position).
○ Put the pallet (the alarm will go on).
○ Press reset.
○ Press start.
○ Press start conveyors.

1.7. End of production operations:

● Press the red pushbutton “MACHINE RUNNING STOP” und “CONVEYORS

RUNNING STOP” located on the electrical panel [7].
● Turn off the machine by cutting off power to it, position the ”MAIN SWITCH” located
on the electrical panel on 0 (OFF) [8].
● Close the compressed air supply.
● Clean the machine.

1.8. Problems we had in production:

● The first conveyor did not work in automatic mode, we discovered that the problem
was the exit photocell, it had moved from its place, therefore the sensor detects that
it is full of jars and the conveyor stops [57].

2.2. Starting the machine in manual mode:

● Make sure that the emergency buttons are not pressed down. If they are, release
them.
● Make sure that all safety guards are present, closed and properly secured.
● Turn the main switch on the electrical panel to the ON position [9].
● Acknowledge the various alarms by pressing the corresponding button on the touch
screen [10].
● Press the "RESET" button [11].
● Check that none of the lamps used to signal faults or alarms on the machine are lit.
● Check that the "RESET" button is pressed on the electrical panel.
● Press the ALARMS button on the display to verify that there are no active alarms
[10]. If present, identify the problem and resolve it.
● On the touch screen panel, press the "MENU" command [12].
● Press the "MANUALS" button [13].
● Select the part or parts to be moved manually. The commands of the selected part(s)
are highlighted in green.
● Press the "START" button [14]: this starts flashing. During the start-up of the part, the
buzzer lights up. After two seconds, the "START" button light is fixed and the
selected part starts.

2.3. Starting the machine in automatic mode:

● Make sure that the emergency buttons are not pressed. If they are, release them.
● Make sure that all safety guards are present, closed and properly secured.
● Turn the main switch on the electrical panel to the ON position [9].

16
 Procedure Protocol:

● After mode selection, the "START" light button starts flashing.

● Start the production cycle by pressing and holding the "START" illuminated button
[14] for approx. two seconds. After two seconds, the light in the "START" button
lights up and the machine starts.

2.4. Switching off the machine:

● Stop the supply of containers at the machine head, and completely empty the
machine at the end of production.
● Stop the line using the appropriate functions on the control panel.
● Turn off the machine power supply by setting the master switch to 0 [9].
● Thoroughly clean the machine following the instructions in chapter 5 of the manual.

2.5. Sensors:

● Entry photocell: If it does not detect any jars, it stops the blowers and the tapes that
grab the jars to save energy. When a jar is detected again, they start up again.
● Exit photocell: if it detects many jugs, it stops the grippers for safety. when it is
released they start up again.
● Middle photocell: if the exit photocell does not work and the jars accumulate, they fall
to the side platform and this sensor, detecting it, stops the machine for safety.

2.6. Change format:

● To change the format of the jars you only have to enter the new diameter in the
recipe and the grippers adjust automatically when changing the recipe.
● If the jugs are very tall, the height of the blowers must be manually adjusted. They
are adjusted by raising or lowering the level of the bars on the sides of the machine.

2.7. Alarms:

● High pressure/ dirty filter: If the filter is dirty, it is more difficult for the machine to take
in air and the pressure increases. When this is detected, the alarm sounds and the
machine stops. It is solved by cleaning or changing the filter.
● Wrong position: This alarm sounds when it detects that the diameter of the grippers
is different from that of the recipe.
● When many jars accumulate at the outlet of the grippers, jars can fall into a side tray
of the machine [60]. When this happens, a sensor detects these jugs and an alarm is
activated, which stops the machine as well as warning.

4.5. Problems we had in production:

● On some occasions the caps would stop due to the steam and the sensor would
detect that it was full, therefore it would not send new caps, the solution was to go up
with a ladder to push the caps and dry them a little [75].
● The jars were stuck at the exit and in order to remove them to undo the jam, the
width of the lane was adjusted and then put back into place [76].
