1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

Before installing the machine, please read this manual carefully, to avoid personal injury and/or damage the machine.

Please familiarize yourself with the machine, the connections, emergency stop procedure before attempting to operate.

1.2 Audience

This manual is intended to assist in training basic operation and programming of the machine. Machine operations should only be attempted by trained staff under technical supervision.

1.3 Packaging machines are dangerous.

Packaging operations require moving arms and leverage points, high voltage, high pressure gasses which all could cause serious harm.

• It is essential that all personnel operating the machine have been trained correctly and adhere to the safety rules in this manual.
• Please do not remove any safety guards or turn off the door alarm as this could be dangerous and potentially cause serious harm to the operator.
• The operators must be physically and intellectually suitable to carry out their job. They are the only persons allowed to approach the machine and they are compelled to carry out the pre-fixed tasks only, for which they have been duly trained.
• Only authorized technical staff may perform maintenance on the machine.
• No unauthorized personnel are allowed neat the machine whilst it is operating.
• Never leave the machine unattended whilst it is operating.
• Only qualified personnel should OPERATE, MAINTAIN, and REPAIR THE MACHINE
• STOP using the machine if a breakdown occurs and have it repaired immediately.
• The electric board door must be always closed.
• While machine working, pay attention to unusual noises. If you hear something unusual, stop the machine and investigate immediately.

1.4 Security door

For safety reasons the door should not be opened when the machine is running. There are proximity switches at the access doors to the machine, when the door is open, this will automatically stop the machine, sound the alarm, and start the strobe light flashing.

CAUTION SAFETY HAZARD: For experienced operators and maintenance staff there may be a need to open the door and have the machine running. In this case you can disable the safety door function from the touch screen.

1.5 Emergency Stop

2 System Description

2.1 Key Features

The ROTARY RN1S COFFEE CAPSULE FILLING AND SEALING MACHINE is a fully enclosed automated capsule filling machine that can operate up to 70 capsules per minute.

Figure 1 – 仕様

2.2 Operation Environment

This machine is designed to run at room temperature in an indoor environment.

The machine is fitted with casters allowing it to be moved on a flat surface. Please remove all connections and secure swinging arm before moving.

Warning – HOT

The temperature of heat-sealing device is extremely high when the machine is operating. If you need to make any adjustments to the machine or perform any maintenance functions in the vicinity of the heating elements, switch off the machine and allow it to cool down first.

2.3 Machine overview

Before installing the machine, please read this manual carefully, to avoid personal injury and/or damage the machine.

Please familiarize yourself with the machine, the connections, emergency stop procedure before attempting to operate.

1. Vertical capsule dropper
2. Cup sensor, if cup holder is empty the machine will not fill that slot.
3. Ground coffee filler by a servo-controlled auger.
4. Edge cleaning.
5. Nitrogen Filling tubes (blue tubes in diagram)
6. Cut and place paper lids on.
7. Lid sensor.

The machine will operate automatically for all functions.

In cases where you wish to control a specific function, leave the machine in MANUAL MODE, select the desired function on the control panel and then press AUTO button C – to start.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

3 Installation and preparing for Coffee capsule Filling Sealing Machine operation

Follow the following procedure.

3.1 Power – 240 Volt 50 Hz

Connect the supplied power cable to a 240 V 50 Hz 10 AMP outlet.

After connecting the power cable. Turn on the machine using the on/off switch.

3.2 Set Temperatures

Temperatures for the two sealing units are set by the two control meters on the control panel. The top meter (Meter G) sets the temperature of the cutter and the first sealing unit.

The bottom meter (Meter F) sets the temperature of the second sealing unit.

To set the temperature press the up / down buttons until the desired temperature is reached. This value will be displayed in GREEN.

The unit will heat up and the actual temperature will be displayed. Once the actual temperature is reached for both temperature gauges you may begin making capsules.

3.3 Compressed Air – Blue Regulator

Connect compressed air to the following inlet using the connections provided or new connectors as required.

B – On/off switch, push in to switch air supply on, pull out to turn air supply.

To adjust air pressure, pull out A to deliver an air pressure to the unit of between 0.6 bar-0.8 bar as shown in meter C.

After any adjustments make sure that C is pressed back down in the locked position.

3.4 Nitrogen – Red Regulator

Coffee is a delicate product. To prevent the oxidation of the coffee in portion packs, nitrogen gas is used during dosing until the capsules are sealed and the oxygen is removed.

The Nitrogen flushing is handled automatically by the capsule packing machine. The only requirements are to connect a bottle of food grade nitrogen to the machine.

To adjust air pressure, pull out D to deliver an air pressure to the unit of between 0.1 MPA as shown in meter E.

The nitrogen gas pressure should be 0.1MPA with a flow rate of between we recommend 200-500 liters/MIN.

Use food-grade Nitrogen.

3.5 Load Capsules

Load empty capsules through the capsule tube.

3.6 Load paper real

Load the paper real by following the steps below.

3.7 Programming the dosage

Set the desired weight of the capsule, in this example we will is 5.5g. To calibrate this weight, you will then need to adjust the FEEDING SUBDIVISION values. The Larger the value, the lower filling quantity, the smaller value, the greater filling quantity. A good starting point is 1.34.

Figure 8 – programming of dosage

3.8 Setting the cup capsule counter

You can program the machine to set up a predefined number of capsules. Once the machine reaches the programmed amount of capsules the machine will automatically stop and an alarm with sound.

To set the programmed quantity:

選択 COUNTING STOP and enter desired number of capsules

Activate CUPCOUNT

Machine will automatically stop after the programmed amount of cups

3.9 Counting the number of capsules at the end of the conveyor belt

You can program the machine to set up a predefined number of capsules at the end of the conveyor belt before the chute changes position.

Once the machine reaches the programmed number of capsules the chute will change positions. This allows the counting of capsules per carton before packing.

To set the programmed quantity.
