AIR QUALITY PROVIDED TO THE PERFECT BINDER

To make work the pneumatic devices in an affordable, efficient and safe way, the compressed air supplied to the pneumatic device must have the following quality features:

Pressure, Quantity, Water content, Solids content, Oil content.

DIN ISO 8573-1 – AIR QUALITY CLASS

The manufacturers of pneumatic components refer to the quality of compressed air to use on their products, referring to the table below.

The compressed air used in the industry contains water, oil, dust and other impurities. The interaction of these elements produces an aggressive mixture that can damage the compressed air devices and also the PUR glue contained in the PUR tank, the results will be a low quality production and increased maintenance costs.

10.1 FUNDAMENTALS



Pay Attention during the glue loading because of the high temperature, as indicated by the label, and use protective systems such as gloves.

When you operate with PUR glue or with glue that is harmful to health, you have to adopt all the safety systems to handle these kind of substances, especially when you open the glue tank or when you replace the glue or you do the cleaning procedure for the nozzle and the premelter.

The tank has to be added with the same type and model of glue.

You can use a different kind of glue only when the system is completely empty and cleaned by using the Blue-Cleaner.

Never open the tanks when they are cold.

The machine can’t stay with the glue tank opened more than 10 minutes if there is PUR glue inside.

Drain as much as possible the glue that you want to replace.

Enter in the tank a quantity of about

500g of Blue-Cleaner and make it protrude from the main slot and the channel of the glue; if at the end of this cleaning cycle you are not sure that from the valve 100% Blue-Cleaner exits, repeat the operation.

Possibility to break the seal gasket. In addition to that the air humidity will enter into the tank and will be trapped causing premature ageing of the glue

(curing) with likely obstructions and need of maintenance.

The glue in contact with moist air modifies her composition, damaging the machine.



The machine can’t stay with the glue system empty for more than

10 minutes

The PUR glue dries permanently; in this case you risk permanent damage to the glue system. If you don’t have a glue cartridge available, put in the tank at least

500 grams of Blue and wait to be melted before to switch off the machine.





The machine cannot be without air compressed when the glue station is still hot.

Clean the nozzle of the glue station and of the tank as described in the following chapters.

Without air compressed inside the machine, the valve that handles the glue spilling in the head could open damaging itself.

Any failure to comply with these procedures will make void the guarantee of the machine.

On premelter and on glue nozzle use the temperatures suggested by glue producer.

Avoid opening the lid frequently, the moisture in the air damages the features and durability of the glue.

The depletion of the glue is found in two ways: the lack of glue on the book; ejection at the glue extrusion zone of air and glue bubbles.

When you finish the glue and insert a new cartridge you have to wait about 20 min before the new glue melts.

The machine does not operate until the set temperature is not reached.

10.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Make sure that the cable of the Perfect Binder is connected to electricity network with the specified features.

Turn on the main switch located on the left side of the machine, turn right to achieve the position 1= (ON).

10.3 PNEUMATIC CONNECTION

Connect the pneumatic power source following the procedure:

Connect the hose 0.39in (10mm external diameter) to the quick of the binder.

To disconnect the hose of the machine, it is necessary to rotate the blue part of the sleeve. With this procedure you will flush the air from the machine. When you have finished, it will be possible to pull out the sleeve pushing upwards the blue part and pulling out the sleeve downwards. The sleeve has a seal system that once pulled out does not allow air passage

Danger! Risk of collision due to uncontrolled movements of the hoses subjected to passage of compressed air.

To access the glue tank it is necessary to open the sliding door provided with handle.

The opening of this protection put the machine in a state of emergency and reduces the pressure of the glue tank while the Cleaner tank remains at a pressure of 2 Bar about.

The machine can’t work with the back door open.

WARNINGS ON THE OPENING OF PUR TANK

Wear hand protection, all parts are at high temperatures.

Wear protections for face, respiratory mask suitable for glue and protection glasses

Never open the tank when it is COLD.

Possibility of breaking the seal gaskets and because of this The air moisture would enter and remain trapped in the tank causing premature aging (curing) of the PUR glue with probable clogging and maintenance need.

Avoid to open the PUR tank with no reason.

Limit the opening time.

Close the tank as soon as possible

43 rel. 2.00-B

The temperature must be set on the basis of the glue type you are going to use. Refer to temperatures suggested by glue producer.

The premelter temperature must be kept from 41° to 59 ° less than that the extrusion temperature.

During the heating, the indicators will be red and the machine will show the message “Low

BOOK.

12.1 CHECKS TO BE DONE BEFORE STARTING THE JOB

Before to use the binder perform the following controls:

The operator must have read and understood this manual, including the important information concerning the SAFETY.

Make sure you have appropriate clothing to work and, if necessary, also safety clothing.

Ensure that the binder is properly powered and connected to ground (PE)

Ensure that the pneumatic system of the binder is properly fed and if the main switch oh the factory is open.

Verify that the chips aspirator is connected to the binder and its power switch is in position 1 = ON.

Check that in the tank there is a minimal amount of glue to allow to process several books, otherwise insert a new cartridge of glue inside the tank.

Tank for glue collection flushed.

Ensure that the binder is clean and without books or covers, especially:

Clamp, Jogger, Milling Station, PUR head, Press.

Check that the settings for temperatures are correct for the used glue and that have been achieved the correct values to work.

Refer to the technical sheets of the glue/cleaner manufacturer.

Verify that the values of temperatures have reached their work values.

Both temperature indicators must be lit.

If necessary, remove the layer of Blue-Cleaner from the PUR head.

13 CLEANING THE MACHINE

When the machine works using PUR glue, it is imperative and essential an accurate cleaning of the glue.

The dried glue is no more refusible.

Residue of glue during the drying process can cause blockages or an incorrect and not uniform extrusion of the glue.

The glue group must be kept clean with the deposits of glue, PUR glue residues harden over time and cause damages to the equipment.

Performing the “End of job cleaning” it is possible to save the machine turned off containing

PUR glue for 2 weeks.

CLEANING IS COMPULSORY for proper operation of the machine.

"If the machine is switched off or unused for more than 120 minutes it is necessary to make the cycle of "End of job cleaning".

MILLING STATION – IRREGULAR CUT AND NOTCHING:



Verify that the Milling disk is not broken or damaged. This could happen by the management of books already bound with glue (FORBIDDEN). IF K.G.S. FIND OUT THAT YOU

HAVE MILLED BOOK ALREADY BOUND WITH GLUE, K.G.S. WILL VOID THE

GUARANTEE.

14.5

COVER PLATE MILLING STATION – IT DOES’T OPEN / CLOSE CORRECTLY:



Remove the 4 screws by using a allen key number 4. Remove the cover plate of the milling station releasing the elastic cord. Clean inside of the milling station box.



Shorten the elastic cord by a node close to the interior of the Milling Station box, increasing the strength of the plate closure

14.6

HEAD - OUT OF TOO MUCH OR LITTLE GLUE:



Verify the air pressure of the glue group.



Verify that the head shutter is free, using the provided blade.
