AESFill AF1C Machine Manual 49/58 Changeover
11. Changeover
Simple Changeover 11.1
The simple changeover is called simple, because it is just that. The only hitch in the process is that you need a second complete
pump/nozzle assembly for each AESFill AF1 machine.
1. Turn off the AESFill AF1 machine.
2. Disconnect the air hoses from the nozzle.
3. Loosen the nozzle clamp and slide the nozzle off the bar.
4. Loosen the screw on the 2” tri-clover clamps that attaches the AESPump to the docking plate and remove the clamp and
the AESPump.
5. Place the nozzle/pump aside to be cleaned.
6. Take the second pump/nozzle assembly and attach it to the docking plate and to the nozzle bar.
7. Reattach the air hoses to the air cylinder on the nozzle.
8. Turn the AESFill back on and program in the necessary speed and volume.
Normal Changeover 11.2
The only difference between the normal changeover and the simple changeover is that you need to clean your nozzle and your
pump before you can change to another product.
Determining Volume & Speed 11.3
In order to determine the correct speed and volume, follow these steps:
1. Place a catch tray below the nozzle that you are going to test.
2. Input a fill volume number that will overfill the bottle.
3. Place an empty bottle under the nozzle.
4. Press the foot switch.
5. When the container is almost full, press the foot switch again. The required fill setting will be displayed on the AF1. Check
the fill quantity. If it is too much or too little, adjust the fill volume accordingly and try again. Adjust the volume & speed
until it fills to the quantity & speed you want.
6. Write down the volume and speed for the size of bottles and the type of liquid so you have a starting point for next time.
7. Be aware that the first 5 fills after a long period of rest (more than 10 minutes) may be different.
8. You can now begin filling your bottles.
