A new compactor must go through a break - in period and should not be run at maximum capacity at the
rst 25 hours. The operator must be observant, monitoring that all funcons are working correctly, and be-
ing aware of unpleasant sounds from the machine. Fine tuning the whole process must be carried out, unl
the compactor has reached it’s opmum capacity, based on the material being baled.
Slide bearing clearance is ght when the machine is new. This may result in increased temperature in
bearings. The slide bearings must be checked frequently during brake - in period. If the temperature rise in
some of the bearings, acvate the manual greaser from the control box to increase the amount of grease
supplied to bearings. Check: Each bearing, there must be a visible grease collar. Do also check the pressure
relief valve on the grease pump, there should be no visible grease present.
The tension of the elevator belt must be checked the rst 1-3-hours of operaon. Due to paint re-
mains in the belt segments, you might have to ghten up the belt.

In the case of having trouble lubricang some of the bearings, remove the hose belonging to the actu-
al bearing. Then mount a special nipple to get the bearing lubricated manually. Aer lubricang the bearing,
remount the hose which was dismounted earlier. Contact Orkel Compacon Ltd if this is relevant.
The elevator and sensor, which control the amount of material being fed into the chamber, must also be
controlled. An adjustment of this parameter could be carried out manually, please see chapter 3.1.4
Before the compactor le the factory, a careful quality control has been taken place. On the other
hand, this control has not bees done with the material you are proceeding. A need of complementary adjust-
ments and change in sengs is therefore foreseeable.
Chamber pressure control. The compactor is designed to stand huge stress and output, but do not exagger-
ate bale density. An exaggeraon in seng of chamber pressure will reduce the life span of the chamber.
