Fixed and mobile protection
The AP250 features fixed guards to prevent the upper limbs from accessing hazardous areas. In particular,
fixed guards have been fitted to protect the heat-seal bars, which move vertically and may reach a surface
temperature of 160°C.
Machine operators must wear the appropriate protective clothing. The use of this machine is restricted
to appropriately-trained professionals.
IMPORTANT
STARTING OR USE OF THE MACHINE WITH THE SAFETY GUARDS REMOVED IS STRICTLY
PROHIBITED.
26 MAINTENANCE
Maintenance operations that are performed with the safety guards removed must be performed when the
machine is shut off and disconnected from the power supply.
Maintenance personnel qualifications
The operator performing the mechanical and electrical maintenance phases must have completed a theoretical
and practical training course that includes the following:
- Machine theory and function;
- Assisted by manufacturer technicians for first startup;
Training duration and the degree of technician preparation must be agreed and verified jointly by the
manufacturer and the customer, according to the various situations encountered.
26.1 Verification type and frequency
When the machine is used correctly and under the proper conditions, it generally does not require being
overhauled. Contact FROMM AIRPAD AG Technical Support should any anomalies appear.
26.1.1 Daily maintenance
- Clean the machine at the end of each shift if the machine operates in a dusty environment.
26.1.2 Quarterly maintenance
- Check the condition of the electrical equipment and assess its reliability for the time interval until the next
maintenance inspection.
- Check the operation of the emergency stop feature.
26.1.3 Yearly or supplementary maintenance
After one year of operation, certain highly-used components in the production cycle may need to be replaced or
overhauled. Depending on the exceptional character of these operations, the customer may decide to:
- Replace these components by ordering original spare parts (customer is responsible in the event of
incorrect installation
- Request on-site assistance from a manufacturer technician, for more complex or far-reaching
operations.
- Send the machine to the manufacturer for a complete and precise overhaul.
Note: if the user decides to personally replace components, a qualified technician able to perform complex
mechanical assembly/disassembly operations must perform said operations. The manufacturer declines all
responsibility for supplementary operations performed by the customer, which might lead to malfunction and/or
damage and/or production that does not comply with standards.
