Air & Power Requirements - Advanced Poly-Packaging T-1000-S14 Advanced Poly-Bagger Operation Manual

2. Getting Started
This chapter describes in detail procedures to receive and setup the T-1000, including uncrating,
environmental, air and power requirements, assembly, and height adjustments. Additionally, this chapter
describes how to turn on power to the T-1000 and properly thread bags through the machine.
2.1 Installation Procedures
The T-1000 is transported as a single unit in a custom crate designed to protect the machine during
shipment. It is shipped completely assembled except for a few items which are easily attached during
installation with final adjustment for proper placement of touch screen, dancer assembly, foot switch,
funnel and guards.
Unpacking: After removing the stretch wrapping, remove the outer crate from the skid which contains the
T- 1000. Unfasten the base support brace from the skid. Carefully lower the T-1000 from the skid.
Transport the T-1000 to the operating location prior to placing the Touch Screen in position and
unfastening the dancer assembly.
Operating Environment: The T-1000 should be placed in an area free of excessive heat, moisture, dirt and
dust. Operating room temperature should range from 50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.2 Air & Power Requirements
Power Requirements: Provisions must be made for 115 VAC, 50/60 Hz line current with ground. Full
Load Current for T-1000: 12 AMPS.
CAUTION: A qualified electrician should ensure that the T-1000 power outlet is properly grounded,
voltages are as required and amperage capacity is sufficient. Note: APPI recommends a dedicated 20
Amp circuit for the T-1000.
Air Requirements: At least 2 CFM free air is required, regulated to 60 PSI. Note: Air should be dry and
oil-free.
Note: Running the T-1000 at a higher PSI setting than 60PSI will cause excessive wear and may cause
damage to components on the machine or parts being packaged. The antijam function may also be
adversely affected.
2.3 Assembly Instructions
Choose an operating location considering traffic flow, availability of bag supplies, supply of product to be
packaged, takeaway of finished packages, placement of auxiliary infeed equipment and placement of
takeaway conveyor(s). Operating location, the first step is to remove any inner packaging, banding or
wires.
Touch Screen Assembly/Position: The Touch Screen has been secured for transportation in a positioned
"face in" with protective wrapping. Holding the Touch Screen preventing it from falling, loosen the set
screw located in the clamp collar at the top of the upper "T" column. Pull the shaft from the clamp collar
approximately 6" and tighten the collar. Holding the Touch Screen module, loosen the "ball" clamp lever
and position the touch screen. (Fig 2-1).
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the Touch Screen module, hold the Screen until it is in the
desired position and then be sure the screws and ball clamp lever are securely tightened.
