Section A: Getting Started This manual describes the family of CURO machines manufactured prior to 2024 and includes the CURO 2, CURO 8, CURO 12, and CURO 16 machines (collectively referred to as ‘CURO’ throughout this manual). This manual is intended to facilitate the familiarization process, utilizing the intended application capabilities.
The machine/equipment may not be used for more than 20 years without an overhaul of the safety components. If the machine is to be de-commissioned and sold, please contact TOMRA for advice on the best current methodology. A6. Machine Service and Feedback TOMRA recommends that you perform a complete service of your machine(s) every year.

Removal of an Abandoned Lock or Tag When TOMRA Service Technicians are working on your site, personal danger tags and personal padlocks shall not be removed by anyone other than the person named on the tag or in accordance with established procedures.
The CURO family of machines are supplied with 1-2 e-stop buttons, located on the main control monitor and an additional one on the button box of the Packaging / Box Conveyor (excluding the CURO 2 Packaging Conveyor). If the CURO or any machines connected through line control are being worked on or near, the main isolator switch is the primary stopping method.
All other uses will be considered as unintended use, unless explicitly checked and approved in writing by TOMRA. This includes the use of controls and the making of adjustments or performance of procedures different than those specified in this manual, for this can result in unsafe situations, hazardous exposure, physical harm to you or your colleagues and/or damage to the machine.
