BC2 Machine Operation
A rack holding two barrels is lifted by a fork lift on to the machine frame.
The corner guides ensure that the rack will locate centrally on the machine frame.
As the rack comes to rest on the frame the barrel support rollers lift the barrels
off the rack unit to enable the operator to position the bungholes above the
cleaning units. The cleaning units, each mounted on a vertical slide arrangemt
can now be lifted to the "Wash" position, inside the barrels. The cleaning unit
slide arrangements operate pneumatically controlled by hand lever valve. The wash
cycle is activated by a push button and stops automatically after a pre-set time.
The wash cycle time is adjustable by the operator. The high pressure water flow
starts and stops automatically with the wash cycle and safety switches ensure that
the cleaning units are in the "Wash", (up inside the barrels), position before
the wash cycle can be activated. |
