2. Structure Charateristics and Working Principle 2.1 Working Principle Picture 2-1: Working Principle The high temperature oil returns to the machine and then be pressured by pump to the heaters. After being heated, oil will be forced to the mould and continue the circle.
3. Installation and Debugging 3.1 Installation Space During installation of the machine, keep at least 500mm installation space around the machine as following picture. Don’t install the machine in a narrow or crowded place with other objects. This would cause inconvenience to operation, maintenance and repair.
3.2 Pipeline Connection 1) Open the ball valve when machine is filling the oil. After the mould is filled with oil, close the valve and start up the machine. Picture 3-2: Ball Valve 2) After connect the cooling water outlet to drainage port, turn on the water source switch.

6. Maintenance and Repair Pay attention to the following rules during maintenance: 1) Need at least two persons present when checking the machine. Let the machine cool down, turn off power supply, drain out the oil and water. Make sure checking and maintenance space then start operation. 2) It’s dangerous that machine works in high temperature.
6.1 Y Type Strainer Cleaning Clean soft water should be used as cooling water. Filter screen is used in the strainer to stop impurities and pollutants entering into water pipe. Impurities or pollutants may cause errors and bad temperature control. It needs to clean the Y type strainer periodly.
6.3 Heater Pipe Cleaning After long use of the machine and with high temperature, there will be clingage and limscale accumulated on heater pipe which lower the heating efficiency. At this time, it needs to clean the clingage and limscale accumulated on heater pipe. 1) Open the heater cover (Press the black switch downward, then open the heater cover.
