Part Two Pack, Transport & Installation


In order to keep the full bottle conveyer runs normally, please install the
conveyer by professional personnel!
It is recommended to have service engineers from Tech-Long for this work.

2.1 Pack
Pack the conveyer in wooden container; connect it with bottom of the
container; parts in small volume, such as chain plate, supporting foot, and spare
parts, should be packed separately and fixed inside the container; wrap each parts
with transparent plastic film.

2.2 Transport
Do NOT incline or turn over the container during transport; take the bottom
of container as hoisting point, and the inclination should not be larger than 10°.

2.3 Installation
2.3.1 Housing
The full bottle conveyer is composed of several sections which includes
different quantity of standard housing. Before installation, read plant layout as
carefully as possible at first, and position each housing as indicated in the layout.
Keep the housing level and straight, and the connection part smooth. The deviation
should not overpass 0.3mm. Make sure height of each housing follows
requirements in layout. Fasten screw.

2.3.2 Plastic Guide


Usually, the guide is made of HMWPE. During installation, keep the guide in
line. If possible, use one strip only. In consideration of influence from heat, only
one end of the guide is fixed up by one (or two) screw, while the other end id

flexible.

2.3.3 Chain Plate


Position chain in different models on floor at first, and then connect them one
by one. After that, install the chain plate onto housing. This can avoid chain plate
from twisting and ease connection work. Special attention should be paid that
installation of chains has specific direction: direction of arrow on back must be the
same with running direction. If there is bypass sections, (in standard design) the
conveyer speeds up from multilane to single lane. Or, the conveyer slows down
from single lane to multilane.

2.3.4 Guardrail
Guardrail is used to guide containers on the conveyer and prevent them from
falling down or dropping. During installation, keep the guardrail straight, and keep
the connection part smooth. Usually, connection part is located at clamp on
guardrail.

2.3.5 Drip Tray


There is central outlet between adjacent drip trays. Therefore, properly incline
the drip tray to the outlet. The waste water will flow into the outlet, and then drains
out to ditch or for recycle. After installation, the drip tray can also function to
prevent water from contacting return side of chain plate.

3.3 Processing Flow


3.3.1 Safety
z Do NOT interfere in processing of conveyer with hand or other tools
(e.g., stick, etc), or injury may be caused;
z Do NOT interfere in relative movement between containers and
conveying belt/chain plate;
z Do NOT stay at driving point of shaft;
z Do NOT interfere in rotary parts on bottom;
z Do NOT stay at outer diameter line of curve chain;
z Do NOT touch pneumatic components (e.g., stopper, turnover device,
ejector, pneumatic guide rail, etc);
z Danger area of conveying system is protected by guarding (e.g., cover,
guard net, etc). Nevertheless, potential damage/injury cannot be solved
completely. Therefore, only when conveying system is stopped and
locked (i.e., it cannot be started by accidence), the operator can
interfere processing flow.
z Monitor conveying process regularly;
z Take off containers on ejection conveyer by hand according to stream
of containers;
Note: Prevent injury from broken container or odds and ends (e.g., glass, cap,
etc). Similarly, prevent injury from blocked container or container jam.

3.3.2 Downtime
z When there is any problem on production line, the control system will
stop the conveyer;
(Speed control depends on that of upstream and downstream equipments.)
z The conveying system is standby;
(If container supply is normal, the conveyer will start automatically.)
z Rest time;
In order to prevent accidental startup,
¾ Stop the conveyer during rest time;

¾ Press down e-stop button for safety;

3.3.3 Problem during Production


z If there is any problem, the conveyer should stop automatically;
z If the conveyer has not stopped even when there is obvious problem,
stop it and solve the problem;
z Order of problem searching:
¾ Find out where is the problem and reason for that;
¾ Use the following way: control panel, information on HMI, test
device to find out problem;
¾ If in need, ask professional personnel for help;
¾ Analyze;
¾ Solve the problem;

3.4 End of Production


z Take off containers on conveyer;
z Cut off energy supply to power system;
z Stop control system and lock up;
z Press down e-stop/maintenance switch;
z Lock up (take with the key);
z Close main valve of compressed air;

Part Four Maintenance


4.1 Mechanical Maintenance
4.1.1 Adaptation Period
Usually, the adaptation period is only two or three days. During this period,
maintain the conveyer as follows:
z Check flexibility of chain plate, especially when the conveyer runs
under heavy load and high speed. If the conveyer is too long,
disassemble one or some chain.
z Clean the conveyer to remove dust and potential particles, which can
reduce damage.

4.1.2 Working Days


z Lubricate the conveyer at the beginning of each shift;
z If there is any chain cannot be lubricated, add water and lubricant in
time; if the lubrication nozzle is blocked, clear it;
z If there is any fastener loose, fasten it;
z Clear odds and ends on chain plate or drip tray.

4.1.3 Regular Interval


z Completely clean the conveyer, and disassemble drip trays for cleaning;
z Check whether there is any part deformed, if so, regulate it;
z Check tension of chain plate, and keep it at 3 ~ 5bar with about 30mm
suspending;
z Add lubrication oil to bearings and parts needed lubricating;
z Check oil level in gearbox, and change the oil if necessary;
z Disassemble all lubrication nozzles to clean;
z Check abrasion situation of chain plate, guardrail, driving wheels, idle
wheels as well as sprockets; change with new one if necessary;

4.2 Electrical Maintenance


The situation of pneumatic components (e.g. cylinder, solenoid valve, airway
plate, and speed control valve) and their reliability can be checked by manual
adjustments.
PLC and the frequency inverter are the main electrical parts. The check and
maintenance conducted to the input/output signal of other switches, such as
whether there is any breach of them; whether the circuit breaks, whether the output
components (e.g., relay, indicative lamp, the coil of solenoid, etc.) function well,
can carry out according to the PLC input/output signal indicative lamp.
PLC and frequency inverter are stationary device with semiconductor
components as the center. Routinely check should be conducted to preclude the
impact from the utility environment (temperature, humidity, dust, vibration, etc), as
well as aging of parts.

A. Notice for Check and Maintenance


a) The operator should check whether the power supply is on or off to
preclude mal-operation;
b) The voltage in the capacitor is still high after the frequency inverter has just
been cut off. Thus, only when the load indicative lamp on the printed panel
is off as well as the voltage between P and N (the two terminals of the
major loop of the frequency inverter) is lower than DC 30V, can the check
be conducted.

B. Check Items
PLC and the general used frequency inverter have power indicator and
problem indicator during the running, which should be informed at first. What’s
more, the operator should also get familiar with the setup of the electron thermal
relay and speed up/down time listed in the parameters of the frequency inverter, as
well as write down these data.

C. Routine Inspection
Check the following item when the machine is running:
a) Whether the motor runs as expected; whether the procedure runs normally;
b) Whether the installation environment is normal;
c) Whether the cooling system runs normally;
d) Whether there is unusual vibration or noise;
e) Whether there is unusual heat or discolor;
Generally, the measure of the input/output voltage during manipulation is
conducted with multi-meter.

D. Periodic Inspection
Inspection of some places can only be conducted when the machine completely
stops. Check these places and those need periodic inspection.
a) Whether the cooling system runs normally; clean the air filter;
b) The fasteners such as the screw, bolts will turn loose under the impact of
vibration and/or change of temperature. Thus, it is necessary to check the
fastening situation frequently. Fasten them if necessary.
c) Conductor and insulation resistance;
d) Inspection and replacement of fan, capacitor, and relay.
Note: conduct items mentioned above when the conveyer is completely stopped
(i.e., it cannot be started by accidence).
