7. Operation (cont.)
7.7 Align the dasher rod drive holes on to the spindle drive pins.
Twisting the spindle counterclockwise will help engage
the pins to the dasher rod prior to start.
7.8 Read the bag of the Semkit package and identify how many
strokes are required (this will be referenced under ‘Hand-mix’,
but this process is acceptable for mixing on the Semkit 1088
CE non-twist mixer). Set the double-stroke preset counter.
7.9 Presetting Counter. Hold the white button down on the counter
to change the stroke count. On cycle counter select desired
number of up/down strokes. Lower display is for preset
number and the upper is the actual number stokes completed.
If the machine door is opened during operation or if the stop
button is pressed, the stroke count will return to zero. The
machine will not restart from where it was interrupted.
7.10 Before starting each mixing cycle, make sure the cartridge
is clamped into the cartridge holder and the dasher rod is
inserted to the drive pins.
7.11 Close safety door.
7.12 Press the “Start” push button (black) to begin operation.
7.13 Mixing will perform entire sequence without operator’s
intervention. Wait until machine switches off automatically.
7.14 Once the mixer stops cycling, the operation is over.
7.15 Removing Cartridge. Simply follow steps 7.1 & 7.2
When the stop button is pressed or door is opened during
operation, the system will reset the counter.
Automatic Catalyst Injection
The Semco 1088 CE non-twist mixer features an injection rod that
automatically travels through the dasher rod during the mixing cycle.
The injection rod is designed to completely dispense all catalyst into
the cartridge during mixing. No pre-injection using the ram rod is
needed.
Keep the injection rod clean by following instructions in Preventative
Maintenance (Section 9).
