QUICK REFERENCE INSTALLATION INFORMATION Pneumatic Requirements: (One Hookup) Run 1/2" line to main Filter / Regulator with an output of 4 CFM operating at 80 PSI. Electrical Requirements: (One Hookup) A 25 amp dedicated circuit should be supplied to the main control panel.
WARNINGS AND NOTICES WARNING The purpose of this section is to alert operating and maintenance personnel to the possible dangers of this type of equipment. Serious injury and/or equipment damage could result from not heeding these safety precautions. BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT: Any personnel working directly with or on this equipment should read this manual before proceeding with equipment use.
If additional wire runs are added to any junction box or control panel, wiring practice should be such as to maintain prevailing electrical hazard classification. High-pressure air systems are dangerous. Do not service or troubleshoot systems with air supply on. Be sure to bleed off any trapped air before working on components since it is possible to have high pressures trapped in airlines and cylinders, etc.

(such as copper lugs). Minimum wire sizes, color coding, and general safety practices should comply with American National Standards and the National Electrical Code. Other earth ground sources are not as desirable as a copper ground stake. Green wire earth grounds (safety grounds) brought into the control system from plants distribution networks tend to be very noisy.

EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL NOISE The predominant effect of noise on the system is to cause “soft” failures; that is, failures which do not damage the system but do cause it to function improperly. Three main types of soft failures are encountered: 1.

RECEIPT AND INSPECTION After uncrating the bulk bagger, a check should be made to see that all items ordered have been received and that all equipment is in good condition. Any damage incurred in shipment should be reported immediately to the delivering carrier and a claim for the damage should be filed.
9. Keep fingers, hands, feet, clothing, etc., out of the path of pneumatically operated components. 10 Safety glasses should be worn in equipment area. 11. Follow the safety regulations for your plant. ALWAYS USE GOOD JUDGEMENT. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS 1. Voltage The system is designed for one location hookup.
DUST COLLECTION A 4” dust hookup is located on the upper filler pipe. This pipe should be connected to dust collection piping with a damper so the amount of volume of air can be adjusted to the fill head. If you have too much draw, material will be drawn up from the stream along with the dust during the filling cycle.
The interface cable between the 520 series and the indicator must be secured to the floor or wall and protected against crushing, cutting or water damage. If the site has such potential dangers, a method of protection such as running the cable in conduit is recommended.
CONNECTING TO SUPPLY BIN The Model 520 Bulk Bag Filler can be fed via slide-gate valve, butterfly valve, auger, rotary vane feeder or air lock feeder. In a typical installation, one of these feed devices will be fastened directly to the customers supply bin. An 8" flex connector hose is installed to the outlet side of the chosen feed device down to the bulk bag filler head.
SETTING CONVEYORS Once the BB is in place and anchored, use a chalk line to layout any conveyors to the system. Refer back to layout drawing to set remaining conveyors. If the BBL is equipped with a powered conveyor, this will come secured to the BBL structure. Layout a line parallel line to the powered discharge conveyor, maintaining a 1/2"...
LOAD CELL WIRING TO JUNCTION BOX The four (4) load cells are each wired to their respective terminals in the junction box according to the corner numbering system shown in Figure 1 below. See Figure 2 (below) for junction box layout and wiring connections.
LOAD CELL REPLACEMENT Should a load cell become damaged due to an overload condition, replacement load cells can be ordered from CBE. The part number for the load cell can be found on the Recommended Spare Parts List in this manual.

WARNING: DO NOT CUT THE LOAD CELL CABLE! 3. Pull the load cell cable out of the conduits built into the frame channels. The chase wire will be used to pull the new load cell cable through the formed channel. 4.
The CBE 520 Bulk Bag Filler is comprised of the following assemblies: 1. Digital Filler The digital filler controller controls all aspects of the bag filling cycle. It is directly Controller (104-1050) responsible for controlling the solenoid valves and cylinder operated functions of the machine.

OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE Place an empty pallet onto the deck / conveyor of the Model 520 BB. If your system is equipped with an automated pallet dispensing press pallet indexing PB to bring a empty pallet into position. It will stop automatically.
configurations of how the densifier system can be set up. They can be run intermittently, continuously or after weight complete. Once the target weight is achieved, a signal is sent to close / stop the overhead feed device. The controller will take a final reading, adjust for weight variations.
BAG SEAL CUFF (OPTIONAL) The bag seal cuff is a feature that prevents dust from coming out of the bulk bag during the filling process. A. Bag Cuff Inflate Switch The operator presses the blue PB to inflate and bag seal cuff. Check the pressure on the regulator, to make sure the pressure is between 3-5 PSI to start.
CAUTION: should be exercised when inflating the cuff. Over-inflation could cause the seal to burst causing injury to the operator, and or the fill sleeve of the bulk bag. NOTICE: Eye and ear protection may be required when operating this equipment.
Operational Sequence with Powered Roller Discharge: (OPTIONAL) This feature is designed to allow the operator to remove the filled bag at the end of the filling cycle. This can be accomplished automatically thru the program or manually with a Bag Discharge PB switch that is mounted on controller / operator control panel.

Conveyor Setup and Adjustment: For initial conveyor setup refer back to the layout drawing for approximate dimensions. Once the BBL is in the final Position then take a chalk line and make a line parallel with the BB filler structure and align the conveyors off that line.
Page 35
Regular Oil Change: After initial change, in normal conditions, the oil should be changed every 2500 hours of operation or every 6 months. To Refill: Determine position of reducer from the chart below and refill with amount of oil shown in capacity chart.

To install the vent plug, follow these steps. Determine the position of reducer after equipment has been installed. Remove solid pipe plugs and install vent plug and grease fittings in position indicated by drawings. On the 5A model only, remove small pipe plugs and add two grease fittings in position "A"...

Align motor mounting holes to C-Face adapter and install mounting bolts. "C" Face adapters use a plastic coupling to connect the motor to the reducer input shaft. The gears nest inside the plastic coupling. It is important for these gears to be properly spaced on the shafts. Incorrect gear setting can result in excessive coupling noise and bearing failure.

PLC (This device is not a weight controller) PLC means Programmable Logical Controller. Our PLC is programmed with specific programs which controls inputs and outputs to work with our equipment. Our programs are set up for Valve filling, O/M net weigh and Bulk Bag weighing equipment. In the PLC program, there are timers going to specific functions on the various types of equipment which we factory.
6. Input / Output Screen illuminations How to Adjust the Timers in the PLC: The PLC is used with both the Avery 405 and the CBE Data Touch controllers. Use the A or B button to Scroll forward or backward through the Timers.

MAINTENANCE OF THE BAG SEAL CUFF AND GAUGE: Periodic inspection of the bag seal cuff for cracks or tears is necessary. Replacement of the cuff is recommended if any wear, tears or thinning is noticed. The pressure gauge should for the bag seal cuff should be kept in good working order. If the gauge does not read pressure, remove and replace it as soon as possible to prevent cuff damage.
Controller Does Not Return to “0.00” This is typical a mechanical problem with the scale. Check the following areas which can influence the scale. o Check load cell feet to make sure that all 4 feet are firmly touching the floor. o Check for bad Load cell –...
Digital Readout Does Not Match the Floor Scale Depending on which controller the equipment is equipped with, the Thompson Controller we use, has a feature called offset compensation which allows you to adjust the packer scale to the floor scale. The Avery and the Rice Lake do not. On those controllers all you can do is adjust the dribble –for how fast you are filling, target weight or Preact.
