STEP 2. Start-up Procedure:
To turn on the machine, use the illuminated MAINS POWER SWITCH located at
the back. Push the red illuminated EMERGENCY POWER SWITCH at the front of
the machine to activate the machine. In an emergency, pushing the button will
shut down the Noztek PRO/PRO HT completely.
STEP 3. Preparation for Extrusion:
Before activating the motor, switch on the heater bands using the HEATERBAND
SWITCH / PID. Allow it to reach the desired temperature, then wait for 15 minutes
to ensure thorough heating of the barrel, screw, nozzle, and material.
When the heater is turned on, the PID display will show temperature values in
Celsius. The top value is the set temperature, and the bottom one is the current
temperature. To adjust the temperature setting, press the set button and use the
up/down buttons. Press the set button again to confirm the changes.
STEP 4. Initiating Extrusion:
Add your pellets and then turn on the motor using the MOTOR SCREW SWITCH
to start the extrusion process. After a short duration, the plastic will emerge from
the nozzle. Pull the filament through the guide. The extruded filament will be hot,
so use heat-resistant gloves. Some materials may require immediate cooling
after extrusion; turn on the fan using the FAN SWITCH to facilitate this. The
operational set-up is now complete.
STEP 5. Shutdown Procedure:
When finished, turn off the EMERGENCY POWER SWITCH, MAINS POWER SWITCH,
and return all switches to an upright position as show in the image above.
These instructions ensure safe and efficient operation of the Noztek PRO/PRO HT.
Additional Information:
Quality Measures:
Extrude approximately 5m of filament, switch off the motor, cut off the excess
material, and then restart the motor. This helps eliminate air bubbles and metal
particles in the system.
Color Mixing:
Adding colors is a straightforward process. Mix the natural and colorant at the
given ratio, then pour it into the hopper. It will take 10-20 minutes to observe
changes in color.
Temperature Adjustments:
Adjusting the temperature also affects filament tolerance. Higher temperatures
result in thinner filament, while lower temperatures result in thicker filament.
Make adjustments in 5-degree Celsius increments.
