models utilize a pair of motor driven counter weights which alternately raise and lower the bag support
pads. In addition to the typical valve bag chairs, open mouth bag and drum/box filling roller racks are
available. These attachments may also be either vibrating or non-vibrating. The vibrating roller racks
utilize a piston type vibrator to settle and distribute product in the bag during the filling process.
DUST COLLECTOR ASSEMBLY
A dust collection shroud and 4” round diameter pick-up connection is provided to help control the dust
emissions which may be generated during the filling process. Ensure that this connection is made using a
flexible type hose to minimize the transmission of vibration.
PNEUMATIC CONTROLS
The main system regulators should be set so that air pressure does not exceed 80 PSI. Plant air systems
are not adequately filtered; therefore a filter/regulator is installed before all components to assure clean
air. This is necessary for smooth-acting, longer lasting components. Moisture collecting in the bottom of
the filter bowl should be bled off as often as necessary. The screens should be cleaned or replaced every
960 hours of operation.
Watch for air leaks around fittings and flexible hoses. Proper pressure and volume are necessary for this
machine to operate correctly. A variety of solenoids and/or air piloted valves are used throughout the
pneumatic system to control the various air operated components as required.
ELECTRICAL CONTROL
The electrical consists of two assemblies: the drive motor starter panel and weight controller. Refer to
the electrical drawings provided in this manual for wiring details. In addition to the drive motor, motor
starter and weight controller, a variety of limit switches, proximity switches, etc. may be used throughout
the system to control various functions as required.
