C. The defect level of the product being sorted.
D. Whether or not dust extraction is used.
E. Condition of the compressed air delivered to the machine.

4.1 CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FEEDER TRAY
Check the feeder trays for any adhesion of product fines. An accumulation of fines
will slow the production rate. Wipe off any fines coating with a soft cloth, being
careful not to scratch the feeder trays.
For some products, in colder conditions the feeder pan heaters should be used to
help prevent product build-up.
