Scale not calibrating and not showing accurate weight. It can also be stuck at 0, or 119. 119 is the mac weight it will show.
Needs to be done through programming
- Open Siwatool on the Laptop
- Select the correct unit
- Open the previous saved program
- Connect to the unit
- On the crescent wrench set it in service mode
- Communication - Send
- On empty scale, set calibration 0 (under crescent wrench)
- On Full batch in sclae, set calibration 1(under crescent wrench)

Encoder fault came on packager 3.
.It got worse when slowed down. Better when spead up, gone when increasing the vertical seal speed.

Creases on the back seal.
Or film is bunching up on the bottom of the former
This comes from the vertical seal being too tight on the bottom. It is therefore created when the film is very tight between the bottom of the former and the vertical seal.

Encode fault and fill position error.
Increased pressure on the pull belts to get better grip.

Film pulling unevenly on 5 oz Ikea former.
The former was on the second hole in instead of the first hole. This caused the pull belt to not be centered in the former causing random walking if the film. Once we moved to the front holes it worked well.

Was not getting enough product
The yellow sensor stopped the vibratory too early and did not allow enough product.

Controlling speed of tension motor
Utilized a 1.225 K Ohms potentiometer between W and CW, and a voltage isolator 0-10V on W and CCW. This allowed us to control it with the voltage isolator through the PLC.
If the potentiometer is adjusted the overall speed changes. The settings in the PLC will still make a difference, just on a different scale, e.g faster scale or slower scale.
The motor has resistance when closed and film in it. So the speed we see with it without film in it is not the same as with the film.
For some reason, a regular dc controller did not work well on low speeds for the motor. Has to be the tension one.

Filter gets clogged right away due to high soaps clogging the filters. Pressure immediately climbs and then goes down due to the pressure protection.
Dilute with more oil and dalsorb
Or
Take out in a tote, then add back slowly into other treatments.

Pull belts were slipping and vertical seal was inconsistent and weak on Smash Kitchen.
We changed to the 7.62" former, moved out the heater as much as possible as we noticed that the rubber wheel was hitting the former before the heater, we also adjusted pressure on pull belts and vertical seal belt until we had a good seal. The vertical seal was also moved so that the heating element lined up with the left side of the backing rubber.
