If the bearing is equipped with a grease fitting (Zerk Fitting), it should receive 1 Gram (one pump from grease gun) of Dura-Lith Grease (KVAL P/N Lube EP-2) every 250 hours of operation. Note: Bearings without grease fittings have been pre-lubricated at the factory and do not require further lubrication.
MOBILUBE HD 80 W-90 or equivalent. Ball Screws (If Applicable) All ball screws should be lubricated Dura-Lith Grease (KVAL P/N Lube EP-2) for every 80 hours of operation. At each lubrication grease should be pumped into the fitting until clean grease comes out around the ball screw.
Repeat this same procedure for the back section and other trouble areas. It is recommended to check the lines every week to two weeks. KVAL 990-H Service Manual 3-20...

An adjustable-speed drive is used to control the motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage. A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is used in KVAL machinery to accu- rately drive motors for machining or moving product through the machine. The figure below shows a block diagram of a typical motor drive circuit.
Figure 4- 4 on page 4-9 VFD models vary in KVAL machines depending on where it is used, voltage requirements and type of PLC used. This is a general view on the VFD. See the machine’s Electrical Print for detailed information.
Note: The number of reset buttons depends on the machine type and option. The fig- ure above shows a machine with 11 VFDs The VFD manuals are located in the Electrical Panels. On some machines, documentation can be found in the operation station in the documen- tation folder. KVAL 990-H Service Manual 4-11...
