Maintenance, Cleaning, Lubrication

Maintenance

The case sealer been designed for long, trouble free service. The machine will perform best when it receives routine maintenance and cleaning. Machine components that fail or wear excessively should be promptly repaired or replaced to prevent damage to other portions of the machine or to the product.

WARNING

•To reduce the risk associated with mechanical and electrical hazards:

−Turn electrical and air supply off and disconnect before performing any adjustments, maintenance, or servicing the machine or taping heads

Cleaning

Note – Never attempt to remove dirt by blowing it out with compressed air. This can cause the dirt to be blown inside the motor and onto sliding surfaces which may cause premature equipment wear. Never wash down this equipment. Serious equipment damage could result.

Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of dust and paper chips when processed or handled in equipment. If this dust is allowed to build-up on machine components, it can cause component wear and overheating of drive motor. The dust build-up can best be removed from the machine by

a shop vacuum. Depending on the number and type of boxes sealed in the case sealer, this cleaning should be done approximately once per month. If the boxes sealed are dirty, or if the environment in which the machine operates is dusty, cleaning on a more frequent basis may be necessary. Excessive dirt build-up that cannot be removed by vacuuming should be wiped off with a damp cloth.

Lubrication

Most of the machine bearings, including the drive motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and do not require additional lubricant.

Figure 4-1 illustrates the areas of the case sealer that require lubrication. Lubricate points indicated by arrows (¨) with SAE #30 non-detergent oil and points indicated by arrows (D) with a small amount of multi-purpose grease.

Note – Wipe off excess oil and grease. It will attract dust and dirt which can cause premature equipment wear and jamming. Take care that oil and grease are not left on the surface of rollers around which tape is threaded, as it can contaminate the tape's adhesive.

The filter utilizes a unique electrostatic media technology that enhances its particle capture efficiency. This technology allows the filter to attract and trap smaller particles that might otherwise pass through conventional filters. With a high filtration efficiency rating, the 3M 800AF-S ensures that users are protected from harmful respiratory hazards.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the 3M 800AF-S is its low breathing resistance. This feature is crucial for maintaining comfort during extended wear, particularly in environments where workers may be required to wear a respirator for long hours. The low breathing resistance is achieved through an optimized design that balances the filter’s density and porosity, ensuring airflow without compromising on safety.

The 3M 800AF-S is also compatible with a range of 3M respirators, providing versatility for users across various applications. The easy-to-use design allows for quick attachment and detachment, ensuring that the filter can be replaced efficiently and conveniently when needed.

Furthermore, the 3M 800AF-S is equipped with a durable outer layer that enhances its lifespan and performance in challenging environments. This durability ensures that the filter maintains its integrity even under rigorous use, which is particularly beneficial in industrial settings where exposure to harsh conditions is common.

In summary, the 3M 800AF-S stands out in the market due to its superior filtration efficiency, low breathing resistance, compatibility with various respirators, and robust construction. As industries continue to prioritize worker safety, filters like the 3M 800AF-S are essential for ensuring a safer and healthier working environment.
