6.3 Production START and STOP
FF20 is ready for production start when:
• bottles are placed on the round table/inlet tray
• the sluice is set up to the exact bottle size
• inlet sensor is adjusted
• the filling stand and nozzle are adjusted
• the external filler is connected and ready
• the “filling delay” is set, if necessary*
• control panel is set on “automatic mode”
• and the FF20 Power signal is ON
Set the speed of the round table; this will make the table move.
When a bottle is detected in the corner of the inlet sluice the bottle pusher will move it one step and filling
will begin.
*The time/pause between 2 fillings can be adjusted on the “filling delay”.
If filling volume is small a high “filling delay” value can be an advantage
Stopping during production can be done by turning the round table speed button to 0 or by changing to
manual mode.
6.4 Stepping bottles
First manual mode has to be selected.
Pressing the release button will perform one push of the bottle pusher causing all bottles in the outlet
sluice to move one bottle size forward, without filling.
Release is only available if the manual mode is selected.
6.5 Removing bottles from outlet / collection tray
When the outlet tray is full the operator can choose to stop the machine and empty the tray or to empty
the tray when production is ongoing and the tray is not packed.
