MAINTENANCE OF AUTOMATIC DISPENSERS
MONIMATIC RONDO
· The dispenser must always be plugged in, because it automatically mixes every 3 hours
· The morning programme is performed when necessary or at least once in a week. If a dispenser is not used for one week, it is necessary to do the morning programme prior to first mixing.
· Programme Manual cleaning step by step is used in case we see we have problems at dosage with a certain tinting paste – it doses diagonally, it doses in intervals,…
· If you notice that a dispensing nozzle is fully dried, it should be taken out and cleaned with water or exchanged with a new
· Programme Exchange of a washer is performed half a year, when it is necessary to exchange the sponges – tapes, which are in the washer, otherwise we check once weekly if sponges are damp enough and we moisten them, if necessary
· In the drop-catcher for catching last drops there must always be some water and a wire on it must work freely, therefore there should be no tinting paste particles on it
· Before you pour a new tinting paste into a canister, it should be obligatory mixed in a shaker
· When we pour a new tinting paste into a canister it is necessary to enter new quantity into programme ( Dispense manager / Tools / Colorants )
· The minimal temperature for smooth functioning of a dispenser is 10°C, otherwise it reports an error and the system is blocked. In this case we wait for the temperature in the room to increase or with heat a mother board for example with a fan heater.
· A knife for piercing cans should always be clean, otherwise it does not make adequate openings.
BANCO, D200
· The dispenser must always be plugged in, because it automatically mixes every 3 hours. Each day after the performed work you should only switch off the computer.
· When you open Heliomix programme or Corob Driver, you always have to set up the connection with a dispenser ( Proceed with initalization )
· Programme of cleaning the nozzles ( Proceed with nozzle purge ) should be performed at least once weekly or before tinting, if you have not used a dispenser for long time
· You should clean the sponge in the cover for closing the nozzles regularly EACH DAY and moisten with water. It should be exchanged once in a half of a year (valid for water-based system – dispenser with 16 canisters)
· If you have a water-borne and solvent-borne mixing system ( dispenser with 24 canisters) it is necessary to exchange the sponge EACH WEEK and you should also clean and moisten it with water EACH DAY.
· When you additionally pour tinting pastes into canisters (beforehand you mix them in a shaker) it is necessary to enter the new quantity into the programme. This you can do in the programme Corob Driver- levels, where you mark the tinting paste, write down the added quantity, confirm with Add and at the end still with OK. The programme is blocked, if only 500 ml of tinting paste has remained in the canister. You pour into the canister each tinting paste separately according to the above described procedure.
· At the instalation of new dispensers it is necessary before filling into canisters to mix them manually.
