Maintenance
To ensure that the TDP 6s
®
will have a long operational life, maintenance is essential. This section
includes methods for replacing parts, troubleshooting solutions, and how often to grease and
clean your machines to keep its performance optimal.
General Maintenance Prescriptions
• Use the maintenance checklist (found in the Appendix) before, during, and after machine
operation.
• Make sure all grease points are maintained and regularly lubricated.
• Use an appropriate amount of lubricant. Excess grease can drip into the tablets as they are
formed.
• Before reassembling the machine after cleaning, make sure that the parts are dried and oiled.
• Constantly check for any loose nuts and/or screws before, during, and after machine operation.
• If the machine is not used for more than a week, place the Tooling in an air-tight container and
cover in lubricant.
Lubrication
Regularly greasing your machine is vital to prolonging its operational life. Parts that are not
greased properly can make the machine seize up and cause major problems later. LFA
recommends maintaining a lubrication schedule for your TDP 6s
®
, which can be found in this
section.
Tools and Materials Needed
• Grease gun
• Lubricant/grease (food grade if machine has contact with the food or drug product)
• Set of metric Allen keys with ball ends
• Disposable latex/rubber gloves (for food grade products and to protect hands from grease)
• Hairnet and/or beard net (food grade products only)
• Sterile shoe covers (food grade products only)
Instructions (continued on next page)
Note: Wear latex/rubber gloves (and appropriate food grade attire if applicable) during this
process.
WARNING: To prevent any potential personal injury, unplug the TDP 6s
®
from the
electrical outlet.
