Controls and Their Functions Air Cleanout Valve (optional): Connect air line or solvent line to this connector to flush out system. This valve should remain closed at all times other than cleanout. Temperature Control Box: This control allows the operator to set the desired oil temperature.
Fuel System Air Bleeding This section only pertains to Diesel engines. The engine and burner are pretested and bled during factory run in. If the fuel tank is permitted to run dry or when changing filters, bleed- ing may be necessary to restart the burner. Your fuel tank is equipped with a visual fuel level gauge.
NOTE: Liquid withdrawal requires optional hose adapters and engine vaporizer. Place 100 lb. propane bottle(s) in rack and secure in place with chain binder(s). Model 225 melter uses (2) bottles, Model 105 holds (1). Connect hoses (A) to bottle(s). NOTE: POL fittings are left hand thread. All connections must be air tight.
Starting the Engine NOTE: Read the engine instruction manual before starting. Diesel Engine: The engine must be running before igniting the burner. The burner will only operate if the ignition key is turned on. DO NOT turn on burner without engine running. To start engine: Place the pump drive (A) and agitation control knobs (B) in the neutral (center detent) position.
Starting the Engine NOTE: Read the engine instruction manual before starting. Propane Engine: NOTE: Allow oil thermometer (mounted on tank) to reach 250º F. before starting this procedure. Place the pump drive (A) and agitation control (B) levers in the neutral (center detent) position.
Automatic Temperature Control Setting NOTE: On diesel units, the engine must be running before activating temperature control. The automatic temperature control system monitors the heat transfer oil temperature and material temperature. Set the oil controller (A) to 550º F. Set the material controller (B) to the recommended material working temperature which is typically listed on the material container.
Cabinet Pre-Heating (Diesel Units) WARNING: Always wear gloves when adjusting the damper. The burner exhaust is equipped with an adjustable Thermal Regulating Gate (A) to help regu- late the amount of heat diverted to the cabinet for hose, wand and plumbing preheating. At the end of each day after cleaning out the system, the hose should be coiled and placed in the cabinet.
Cabinet Pre-Heating (Propane Units) WARNING: Always wear gloves when adjusting the damper. The burner exhaust is equipped with an adjustable Thermal Regulating Gate (A) and a damper (B) to help regulate the amount of heat diverted to the cabinet for hose, wand and plumbing preheating.
Agitation Start-up Loading Empty Tank Start agitation by rotating knob (A) counterclockwise. Tank outlet valve must be in the "off" position. All material must be clean. Keep all foreign matter out of melting tank. Open the material door (1) and place slab or biscuit (2) on the open door against the holder (3).
Circulation and Pumping Procedure Refer to Diagram 1 When sufficient material has melted (approximately 4-6 inches liquid on tank bottom) or gone through the heating cycle required for liquid type sealants, begin circulation procedure. Close air cleanout valve (if equipped) and sealing hose valve (A). Turn pressure valve (B) counterclockwise to the full "decrease"...
Sealing Procedure Turn wand valve (F) "off" and remove the wand from the access port until you can see the sealing tip. Open wand valve to the full "on" position and observe the material as it flows into the tank through the access port. Adjust the pressure valve (B) until the flow rate appears to be correct for the size crack or joint to be filled.
Unplugging a Clogged Hose (Non-Heated Hose Models) Regardless of how you store your hose, the residue tends to settle at the bottom of the coils overnight. Each day when the unit is started, the hose must be coiled up and placed in the cabinet during the preheating process, as shown in the picture below.
Page 23
Unplugging a Clogged Hose If the unit is not full of material, add material to lower the tank temperature enough so the control box will fire the burner. Keep adding material until the cabinet temperature is high enough to unplug the hose. NOTE: Be sure to open the thermal regulating gate to the full open position.
Material System Cleanout Approximately 10-15 minutes before the end of the work period, turn the temperature control knob(s) "off". There are three methods of cleaning that can be used; reverse flow, air and solvent flushing. NOTE: The material loading doors and wand access port must be closed at all times. REVERSE FLOW CLEANOUT METHOD To clean out the machine at the end of the day, return the wand to the wand return and open the wand valve (F).
Page 25
Material System Cleanout AIR CLEANOUT METHOD (OPTIONAL) Place material pump in neutral. Remove sealing tip and return wand to access port.. Open wand valve (F) and sealing hose valve (A). Close tank outlet valve (D). Increase (close) pressure valve (B) to maximum. Connect air hose and open air cleanout valve.
Page 26
Material System Cleanout FLUSHING REHEATABLE MATERIALS (Solvent Tank Option) To save material, proceed through the five steps of the Reverse Flow Cleanout Method and then: Remove wand from access port and place end into waste container. Open sealing hose valve and wand valve. Connect solvent tank hose to air cleanout connection and open solvent tank flow valve.
Material Pump Adjustment Operate the pump under normal conditions for a short run-in period. Examine the packing for leakage. If leakage is excessive, tighten the locknuts evenly until there is only slight leakage from the packing rings. This slight leakage is a necessary and normal condition for packing and allows for expansion and proper seating.
Burner Motor Brush Inspection Due to the high current draw of the burner motor, it is advised to inspect the brushes for exces- sive wear every 100 hours of operation. If the brushes are worn out completely it will stop the motor and typically damage or destroy the ignition transformer assembly.
Chamber Lining Inspection After each 200 hours of operation, the chamber lining should be inspected. Remove (8) burner mount securing bolts (A) and pull out burner and mount. Inspect lining (B) for excessive cracking. Also check the condition of retainer (C). Lining cracks are acceptable as long as they are not large enough to allow flame to contact the combustion chamber walls.
Burner Nozzle Replacement During operation, oil is forced through the burner nozzle at 140 PSI to permit the fuel to be atomized for easy ignition. The nozzle orifice has normal wear due to this high pressure. Due to the high wear, it is recommended that the nozzle be replaced at least once per operating season.
Diesel Burner - Electric Eye and Fuse Inspection Diesel Burner - Electric Eye Inspection The diesel burner is equipped with an electronic eye which detects the presence of a flame. If the eye does not detect a flame after ignition, it will shut down the burner. Periodically this eye will get covered with soot or dirt from the burner.
Adjusting Burner Nozzle, Electrode and Head Position Your CIMLINE 105 or 225 Melter is equipped with a model ADC burner. Each unit comes with a nozzle, electrode and head position gauge. For optimum performance, the steps below should be performed periodically. The burner must be removed from the combustion cham- ber.
Page 33
Adjusting Burner Nozzle, Electrode and Head Position Step 3: Setting Electrode Position Insert gauge as shown below. The electrode tip should be in line with the intersection of the cross hairs labeled "DC". If not, you must remove the head, then loosen the electrode retain- ing screw just enough to allow you to slide the electrodes into the proper location.
Adjusting Replacement Burner The excess air adjustments on the Beckett ADC burner are essential to prevent the potential damage to the burner and the burner combustion chamber. Excess air is required to insure that the carbon and hydrogen are supplied with enough oxygen to burn completely. If there is not enough excess air, the unit will smoke inside the combustion chamber and eventually lead to unburned fuel residue left in the chamber.
Adjusting Fuel Pump Pressure The fuel pressure is factory set @ 140 PSI. As the pump wears, it may require adjustment as follows: If your unit is not already equipped with a fuel pressure gauge, remove plug (H) and insert a 0-200 psi gauge. With the pump running, loosen jamnut (J) and turn screw (K) clockwise to increase the pressure, CCW to decrease pressure.
