5.3. Before starting production:
Switch off all components.
5.3.1. Starting production
1. Connect and turn on compressed air
2. Switch on power to FF20, Pump(s) and finally MC12.
It is important to that compressed air is turned on before the FF20 is activated.
The filling series starts when the mode switch is in the automatic position.
When the sensor detects a bottle, this will go to the filling area (4) Fig.11 and the filling
machine will start.
After a filling the FlexFeed 20 will deliver the next bottle into the filling position.
The now filled bottle is pushed through the sluice and will end in the outlet tray Fig. 11.5.
The tray is replaceable and can therefore be taken out of its guides, and a new one can be
inserted ready for filling.
Replacement trays can be supplied.
5.3.2. Pausing or stopping production
If the filling has to be stopped during a series (due to replacement of a tray) the mode
switch can be set at manual.
To continue the series, set the switch to automatic.
