Maintenance
The case sealer has been designed for long,
trouble-free service. The machine will perform best
when it receives routine maintenance and cleaning.
Machine components that fail or wear excessively
should be promptly repaired or replaced to prevent
damage to other portions of the machine or to the
product.
WARNING – Turn off electrical
power supply and disconnect
power cord from electrical supply before
beginning maintenance. If electrical
power is not disconnected, severe injury
to personnel could result.
Cleaning
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from
taping heads by blowing it out with
compressed air. This can cause the dirt to be
blown inside the motor and onto sliding
surfaces which may cause premature
equipment wear. Never wash down or
subject equipment to conditions causing
moisture condensation on components.
Serious equipment damage could result.
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when processed or handled in
equipment. If this dust is allowed to build-up on
machine components, it can cause component wear
and overheating of drive motor. The dust build-up
can best be removed from the machine by a shop
vacuum. Depending on the number and type of
boxes sealed in the case sealer, this cleaning should
be done approximately once per month. If the boxes
sealed are dirty, or if the environment in which the
machine operates is dusty, cleaning on a more
frequent basis may be necessary. Excessive dirt
build-up that cannot be removed by vacuuming
should be wiped off with a damp cloth.
Lubrication
Like most other equipment, the taping head must be
properly lubricated to insure long, trouble free
service. Most of the machine bearings are
permanently lubricated and sealed and do not need
to be greased. The drive motor is also permanently
lubricated and does not require additional
lubrication.
Figure 4-1 illustrates the frame points which should
be lubricated every 250 hours of operation.
Lubricate the rotating and pivoting points, noted by
the arrows, (
) with SAE #30 non-detergent oil.
At the same time, a small amount of multipurpose
grease should be applied to the end of each spring
where the loop is secured at an eyelet, post, or hole
noted by arrows (
Note – Wipe off excess oil and grease. It will
attract dust and 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.
