P a g e 13 | 45
Preparing the Blowing Room

Before your machine arrives, it is necessary that your blowing room is kept ready for
the installation.
To keep the blowing room ready, check and ensure the following:
1. The floor space required for your machine model is shown in the Machine
Layout drawing in the miscellaneous section. Ensure that there is sufficient
space all around the machine for free movement of the operator, loading of
preforms, and transporting or conveying the finished bottles. Ensure that the
doorway is sufficiently wide to accommodate the machine while moving it
inside the room. The machine cannot be disassembled to fit in a smaller
doorway
2. The floor must be perfectly leveled to avoid vibration of machine while

running. The undue vibration can affect the life of components
3. The height of the ceiling must be minimum four meters high.
4. The walls and ceiling must be painted with epoxy or enamel paint to avoid
accumulation of the dust.
5. The room must be air-conditioned to maintain room temperature between 23º

to 33º C. It is mandatory to maintain this room temperature during production.
6. Ensure that there is no draft of air or sudden rise or fall in the room
temperature, while opening the doors especially when bringing in bulk
preforms or taking the finished bottles out on the trolleys. Provide two doors
with an air trap, if necessary. If the room temperature is not maintained, it
disturbs the process and can cause rejections in the final product.
7. Provide a hood 0.5 meters from the top of machine to remove the hot air,
generated by the process, away from the room. The details of the hood of the
machine are provided in the hood drawings provided in Diagrams section.
8. The stainless steel pipes of 1½ inch diameter (80kg/cm2 rating) must be used
to bring in the air from the compressors and terminate along the side of the
walls by using shut off ball valves. All valves must be of minimum 80 kg/cm2
rating. (For more information refer to the section Air)
P a g e 14 | 45
.
9. The High Pressure and Low Pressure filters are provided with the machine.
These filters must be fixed on the ball valves which are mounted on the wall.
10. The flexible rubber hoses of 1 inch BSP for High Pressure and ¾ inches BSP
for Low Pressure* must be kept ready for connecting the filters to the
machine. All piping and hoses must be of minimum 80 kg/cm2.
11. A moving trolley with electric pulley block (500 kg capacity) must
be provided over the clamp unit of the machine for loading and
unloading the moulds. When the lifting hook is in a retracted
position, it should be minimum 3.15 meters above the floor level.
Please follow above instructions carefully to avoid last minute impasse.
*Low pressure accessories are not applicable to machines with Air

Preparing the Utilities
Air
For High Pressure Blowing:
The clean dry air is required for high pressure blowing. Ensure that the following
points are taken care of while preparing for utilities.
• The air must be passed through a refrigerated air dryer and micro filter (40μ),
located within the range of 10 meters from the machine.
• All the pipes must be of stainless steel material with minimum 1½ inch
(38mm) inside diameter.
• The end connection from the pipe to the machine must be reduced to 1 inch
BSP at the entry point on the machine.
For System or Machine Operation:

The clean dry air is required for the system or machine operation. Ensure that the
following points are taken care of while preparing for utilities.
• The air must be passed through a moisture separator and a micro filter (40μ).
• All the pipes must be of stainless steel material and should be minimum
30mm diameter and the end connection from the pipe to the machine must be
reduced to ¾ inch BSP at the entry point on the machine.
• The compressor should be placed within the 10 meters distance from the
machine, to minimize the pressure drop.
• Clean the filter element thoroughly with petrol and fix it before starting the
production cycle.
All the pipes must be properly cleaned from inside using a wired bottle –
brush, with kerosene to remove all traces of rust or dirt before welding.
Use the proper welding rods and appropriate procedure to prevent slag from
forming inside the pipes. After welding, the pipe must be flushed with high
pressure air to remove any entrapped impurities before connecting to the
system via the filter provided.
Failure to follow above procedure can cause dirt to enter the system and
damage the valves and the regulator. The regulator failure can lead to
bursting of compensation “O” ring.

Preface
650 Elevating Conveyor consists of 216 mm Wide Plain Links & Product Support
Links assembled together to form elevating Belt. Such Belt runs over Stainless
Steel Slider Plate provided under the Belt throughout the length of the conveyor on
carrying path. A small horizontal portion is provided at the top end for delivering the
Preforms into discharge chute without returning from return path. At both the ends,
Link Belt runs over 2 matching sprockets mounted over End shafts. Preforms are
loaded in the Hopper attached to Conveyor and are conveyed towards the
Discharge End Chute. On Return Path, Belt is supported by SS Tracks of suitable
size.
Link Belt is assembled inside robust Side Frames and Top Cover Frames with
Acrylic covers. Elevating Conveyor is provided with 2 Vertical Leg Supports
assembled over Bottom Frame with 4 Castor Wheels. This arrangement gives
flexibility to move the Elevating Conveyor is desired location easily. Tubular Frame
at correct location is provided on the front Leg Support for mounting Roller Feeder
Assembly.
At the Bottom End of the Elevating Conveyor, Tensioning Device (Screw Type) is
provided for tightening the Link Belt. The tension of the Link Belt has been set
properly in our workshop and continuous running trials are conducted. Link Belt may
not require tensioning immediately.
Link Belt is rotated in a closed loop by Drive Unit consisting Reduction Geared
Motor and Chain & Sprocket Drive Arrangement. Such Drive Unit is located near the
discharge end of the Elevating Conveyor at the end of Top Horizontal Section.
Drive Unit of Elevating Conveyor consists of Bonfiglioli make Reduction Gear Box &
a Motor suitable for frequent stops & starts. A safety device, Torque Limiter is
provided on the Drive Shaft of the Conveyor which will automatically disconnect
Drive Motor from Conveyor if the conveying operation is not smooth (jamming of
components, Belt exceeding load etc.) A pair of Sprockets (Drive Sprocket on
G/Box output shaft & Driven Sprocket on Torque Limiter) is provided with
transmission chain, for transmitting torque from the geared motor's output shaft to
conveyor input shaft. The entire drive unit is covered inside a canopy. For tightening
the transmission chain of the Drive Unit, Geared Motor can be moved away from its
position by using 4 mounting bolts of the geared motor.
P a g e 36 | 45
Hopper in SS-304 construction is bolted at the Bottom End of the Elevating

Conveyor. Such hopper has following features:
A) Hinged Top Covers in Acrylic (2 Parts).

B) Mounted on frame with castor wheels.
Installation & Operation

650 Elevating Conveyor is pre-assembled completely by us in our premises and
part-load running trials have been conducted to ensure safe working of conveyor.
Before conducting trial run, required quantity of lubricating oil has been filled in gear
box of the conveyor. The conveyor thus, can be put to use without altering any
mechanical settings whatsoever.
For installation un-pack the conveyor. 4 Numbers of I Bolts are provided on the
Conveyor for lifting it. Use suitable lifting arrangement and place it at the desired
location by moving it on the castor wheels. Lock all the wheels using brake provided
on each wheel to ensure that conveyor is fixed in its position firmly.
I Bolt Brackets provided on the Hopper can be removed if found necessary.
Elevating Conveyor can also be placed on Anti-vibration mounts (4 Nos.) provided

on the Bottom Frame. Height adjustment bolts of anti-vibration mounts can be set in
such a way that the conveyor rests completely on the Anti-vibration mounts and
castor wheels do not touch the ground.
3-Phase Electrical supply should be made available to complete the installation.
P a g e 37 | 45
1st Start-Up
Following points should be checked before 1st start-up,
Electrical Connection: 3 Phase Electrical Power supply should be connected to

Geared Motor's electrical terminal connection. If VFD is used in the circuit for varying
the motor speed, special attention is required during start-up as under,
If Motor is connected to 3 phase electrical supply through VFD, the Motor SHOULD
HAVE DELTA CONNECTION. Refer Motor’s terminal box cover (as well as
instruction manual of Bonfiglioli Geared Motor) for DELTA CONNECTION and
ensure that terminal connections are tightened properly and are not loose. Replace
the terminal box cover in position. Overload relay
setting should be adjusted as per the maximum current setting recommended

on Motor’s name plate.
If the Motor is connected without VFD, it SHOULD HAVE STAR

CONNECTION (For all Motors of rating below 5.0 HP).
It is recommended to make the Elevating Conveyor stop if “high level” is reached

where Preforms are fed. The conveyor should start automatically if the level of
performs accumulation reduces below high level. Such interlocking of conveyor will
improve conveyor performance to large extent.
Lubricating Oil: Gear Box of Elevating Conveyor VF-49 (and models VF & VFR-30,
44, 49, W & WR-63, 75, 86, AS-16, 20, 25 & 35) is supplied with factory filled
(Bonfiglioli) “Long Life” oil (Synthetic Oil Grade SC 320) hence do not require
periodical oil change throughout the lifetime of the gear boxes. As a result, these
units do not feature fill, drain and oil plugs.
Refer Bonfiglioli’s manual for manufacturer’s recommendations on lubrication of gear

box.
Link Belt Tensioning: Link Belt is supplied duly assembled on Sprockets and
Shafts. At the Bottom End of the Elevating Conveyor, Tensioning Device (Screw
Take-up) is provided for tightening the Link Belt. Though Link Belt may not require
tensioning immediately, Belt Tension can be adjusted by moving the bearing blocks
downwards. While increasing tension, care should be taken that the Belt is not
P a g e 38 | 45
stretched too much, neither it is too loose. It may not be necessary to change Belt
Tension during 1st start up.
Replace the Cover provided on Screw Take-up units.
Bearings: Square Flange bearings (UCF-205: 2 Nos. for Drive End shafts) &
Tensioning Shaft Bearings (SNP-205: 2 Nos.) are supplied duly greased.
Sensors: Not in our scope of supply.
Drive Chain Tensioning & Lubrication: Remove the Drive Unit Cover located near
the Geared Motor. Though pre-set in our workshop, check the chain tension to
ensure that it is not loose. Move the Geared Motor away from conveyor for adjusting
the transmission chain tension as desired. Due care should be taken to ensure the
Drive & Driven sprockets (mounted on Geared Motor’s Output shaft, Conveyor’s
Input shaft respectively) are in same plane. Drive Chain is pre-lubricated using
lubricating oil SAE-40 thus may not require lubrication during 1st start up. Replace
the cover in position.
After checking above points 650 Elevating Conveyor can be started in forward
direction, (From Bottom End towards Top Section) and it should run without load
continuously for about 30 minutes. Ensure that the run is smooth.
650 Elevating Conveyor can now be used for elevating Preforms, i.e. with actual
load. Load Preforms in the Hopper around 25% of its full capacity and start the
Conveyor. Observe smooth operation of the conveyor initially for about 30 minutes or
till the 1st charge of Preforms are conveyed up completely. If the run is smooth,
Hopper can be loaded to its full capacity to continue conveying.
Foundation: No foundation is required for this equipment. The equipment can be

locked in its location by applying brakes to the castor wheels or it can rest on
Anti-vibration Mounts.
Drive Unit: Drive Unit for the 650 ELEVATING CONVEYOR consists of Bonfiglioli
make Gear Box (Model No. VF49 Ratio 100) assembled together with Bonfiglioli
Motor (Model No.: BN 63B4-0.25 HP x 1400). Drive Sprocket (20 Teeth x ½” P
simplex) is mounted on Gear Boxes output shaft and Driven Sprocket (20 Teeth x ½”
P simplex) is mounted on Conveyor’s shaft through a Safety Device Torque Limiter.
P a g e 39 | 45
Motor power is transmitted to conveyor using ½” P Simplex Chain loop mounted over
Drive & Driven Sprockets.
Torque Limiter has been adjusted in our workshop and may not need any
adjustments while starting the machine for the 1st time. A detail note on adjusting the
Torque Limiter is given under section Periodic Maintenance.
P a g e 40 | 45
Periodical Maintenance
Following points should be checked during periodical conveyor maintenance.
Daily Check Points:

Link Belt’s running should be observed daily while the conveyor is running. Any
jerky motion observed should be recorded immediately.
500 Hours Running Check Points:
During this check-up, the conveyor should be kept running at least for one hour after
removing all Acrylic Covers. Observe/ measure Geared Motor’s temperature after 1
hour. Excessively hot temperature (Above 650) should be noted & corrective
measures should be taken as under,
1) If the Motor is running hot, it indicates that it draws more current. Check the
Overload Relay setting in the Control Panel and ensure that it is as per the
recommended current setting printed on the Motor’s name plate. If found
tampered or more, correct it. This will ensure that the Motor trips before
getting heated up.
2) Check the Gear Box for oil leakages. If any oil leakage is observed check the
flange bolts and ensures that these are tight. If required replace the gasket
between the joint and tighten the bolts.
3) VF49 Gear Box unit is filled with “Long Life” poliglycol-based lubricant
(Synthetic Lubricating Oil Grade SC 320). Gear Box is virtually maintenance
free and does not require oil changes throughout the operating life of the
gearbox. Thus the gear box is not provided with oil level indicator & drain plug
and does not feature oil fill at all, for operating ambient temperature range of
-15 to +50 degree C. Actual Gear Box temperature will vary depending upon
the operating ambient temperature.
P a g e 41 | 45
Link Belt’s running should be checked during 1 hour run. It should run smoothly
without any jerks. If the run is smooth nothing is required to be done. If the run is not
smooth check following,
1) Check Link Belt’s tension and ensure that it is not loose. If found loose, adjust
it using chain tensioning devices provided on the return path. After adjusting
the tension, run the conveyor to ensure smooth run.
2) It is not advisable to adjust the belt tension too much for these kinds of Belts
as over tensioning may damage the links. Belt tension should be just enough
so that no loose loops are observed on the return path of Belt, especially near
Drive Sprockets and End Sprockets.
Drive chain (from Geared Motor’s sprocket to conveyor’s sprocket) should be

lubricated with using lubricating oil SAE 40 after every 500 hours of conveyor
running. Check chain tension (drive unit cover removed) and ensure that it is not too
loose. Due care should be taken to ensure the Drive & Driven sprockets (mounted
on Geared Motor’s Output shaft & Conveyor’s Input shaft respectively) are in same
plane. Replace the cover in position after lubrication & chain tightening.
Bearings: Square Flange units UCF-205: 2 Nos. for Drive Shaft of conveyor &
SNP-205: 2 Nos. for tensioning units should be greased using MP Grease every 500
hours of conveyor running.
Sensors: Not in our scope of supply.
Hardware for (Allen Head Bolts, Hex Bolts & Nuts, Grub Screws etc.) all the
applications of the conveyor should be checked for tightness thoroughly. Missing
hardware, if found any, should be replaced in position.
Adjusting Torque Limiter

The torque limiter is a protective device to prevent damage caused by a Belt jam-up,
an overload, or a foreign object interfering with belt travel.
P a g e 42 | 45
WARNING: It may be necessary to remove the drive guard
to adjust the torque limiter. Exercise extreme caution while
performing this operation. The guard was put there for a
purpose. Do not underestimate the potential danger. Always replace the guard
when finished.
Torque limiter consists of an externally threaded hub (which is keyed and set
screwed to the drive shaft), a fiber friction facing disc, the driven sprocket, another
fiber friction facing disc, a pressure plate, Belleville (saucer shaped) springs, and an
adjusting nut (threaded ring nut) with grub screws for locking.
To adjust the torque limiter, loosen all four grub screws. Turn the ring nut IN slowly
by ¼ turn. Start the machine. If the link belt does not move, turn off the machine.
Tighten the ring nut 1/4 turn at a time until the belt will move, without slipping when
the machine is turned on. Then turn the ring nut an additional 1/4 turn.
Turn on the machine and fill the Hopper 25% with the preforms. If the torque limiter
begins to slip, turn off the machine and tighten the ring nut 1/4 turn each time until
the machine will run without slipping. Then turn the ring nut an additional 1/4 turn. As
soon as final setting of ring nut is completed, lock the nut in position by tightening 4
grub screws.
TIGHTEN THE ADJUSTING NUT ONLY UNTIL THE MOTOR WILL START AND
RUN THE MACHINE UNDER NORMAL LOAD WITHOUT THE SPROCKET
SLIPPING BETWEEN THE FIBER FRICTION FACING DISCS.
CAUTION: The torque limiter is placed on Preform Elevating

Conveyor to protect it from damage. The sprocket between
the friction facing discs is intended to slip when any overload
or interference with bucket travel occurs. NEVER tighten the
adjusting nut beyond that required to run the machine
under NORMAL LOAD. NEVER completely flatten the Belleville spring.
P a g e 43 | 45
Correction of any overload will normally put the machine back in operation without
readjusting the torque limiter. Avoid running the machine with the sprocket slipping in
the torque limiter. This will cause crazing and crystallization of the friction facings.
Stop the motor at once whenever any slipping occurs. Remove any cause of
overload or interference before restarting motor.
At periodic intervals, or at any time you observe slipping, inspect the torque limiter
for the presence of oil or grease, moisture, or corrosion of the sprocket friction
surfaces. Clean and adjust as described above.
Over a period of time, and if the sprocket has slipped between the friction facings,
you will have tightened the torque limiter several times. As mentioned above, do not
completely flatten the saucer shaped Belleville spring. Replace the friction facings
before this can occur.
Safety Precautions:
1) Never run the machine while Bearing Covers, Chain Guard are not in place.
Extreme care should be taken while running the machine if covers/ guards are
removed for periodic maintenance.
2) Never run the machine without locking the castor wheels if the machine is
resting on wheels.
3) Do not run the machine while Hopper is removed.
4) Do not run the machine while motor terminal box cover is removed.
