13-MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS (continued)
13.6 Cleaning of Machine
Qualifi cation / Skill 1
A weekly cleaning with dry rags or diluted detergents
is necessary. Cardboard boxes produce a signifi cant
quantity of dust and paper chips when processed
or handled in case sealing equipment. If this dust is
allowed to build up on machine components, it can
cause component wear and over-heating of drive
motors. The dust build up is best removed from the
machine with a vacuum cleaner. Depending on the
number of cartons processed, this cleaning should
be done weekly. Excessive build-up that cannot be
removed by vacuuming should be removed with a
damp cloth.
13.7 Cleaning of Cutter Blade
Qualifi cation / Skill 2
- Should tape adhesive build-up occur, carefully
wipe clean with oily cloth or brush. Oil prevents
the build-up of tape adhesive (Figure 13-1).
- Worn or damaged cutter blades must be replaced
promptly in order to guarantee a perfect cut of the
tape. Lubricate the felt pad on the blade guard
without saturating it.

13.8 Lubrication

Most of the machine bearings, including the drive
motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and
do not require additional lubricant.
Note: Wipe off excess oil and grease. It will attract
dust which can cause premature equipment wear
and jamming. Take care that oil and grease are
not left on the surface of rollers around which tape
is threaded, as it can contaminate the tape's
adhesive.
