Sensor 2: Label must be provided Sensor 3: Label must not be provided Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Notes Page 47 of 56 Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 48 of 56 Control elements / touch-screen Cleaning Clean the labeler at regular intervals to avoid problems Use short term production interruptions for learning (e.g. lack of containers at infeed), especially in the area of the cutting unit, glue scraper, vacuum-assisted gripper cylinder, and on the deflection rollers Cleaning Tools Do NOT use any sharp edged tools, especially in the area of the cutting unit and the vacuum-assisted gripper cylinder. Do NOT use a higher pressure washer Use only lint-free industrial cloths, a brush, or a sponge for cleaning. Refer to the operating manual for cleaning intervals and instructions. Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 49 of 56 Main Machine To start cleaning you first want to remove all labels and other production residues that have been left in the machine. Sensors Regularly clean container present sensor and reflector. Regularly clean sensors 2 & 3. Monitoring 2 = Label MUST be provided. Monitoring 3 = Label MUST NOT be provided. Feed Roller Remove debris from the feed roller as well as the pinch roller. Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 50 of 56 Gluing Unit Remove labels that have accumulated in the gluing unit and on the glue scraper. Vacuum-assisted gripper cylinder Be careful of the plastic parts JOG the vacuum-assisted gripper cylinder one complete revolution to ensure all have been cleaned. Remove debris from the vacuum bars and the vacuum holes. Cutting Unit Dirt on the surface and in the vacuum holes impairs the cutting behavior (formation of chips, label tears). Regularly clean the cutter drum and the anvils. Notes Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 51 of 56 Clean all vacuum holes on the cutter drum using a drill bit (1.5mm). Turn the drill bit while pulling it out to remove contaminations. Brushing-on Unit/rolling on Unit Remove debris between the brushes and on the sponge roller. If the contamination is severe remove the parts for cleaning. Deflection Rollers Remove contaminations on the deflection rollers, on the splicing unit, the buffer system, and on the label web guider. Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 52 of 56 Cleaning Agents Several machine components can be seriously damaged if aggressive solvents are used.

Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 53 of 56 Maintenance and Possible Malfunctions Problem: Label film Torn If the label tears in the labeling station, this will be signaled by the sensor in the buffer system and the machine will be stopped automatically. What to do After the label film has torn, the label film must be rethreaded. Arrows are provided on the deflection rollers showing the precise route of the label film. Refer to threading diagram. Causes of Rethread Look for possible causes for the label film tear (label material, sluggish deflection rollers, sharp edges, foreign bodies, etc.) and eliminate them. Resume Production Once you have re-threaded the label film, proceed to start the machine. Problem: Label Lengths Outside Tolerances If the actual label length is continuously cut larger or smaller than the permissible tolerance (+0.5% of the required label length) the reason may be a faulty print of the label (distance between register marks). This fault can also occur in an individual label reel. What to do Check the quality of the labels: Is the register mark printed clearly? Are they electrostatically charged? Do they always have the same lengths? Use a new label reel from the store and watch to see whether the fault continues to occur. Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 54 of 56 Resume Production Once you have checked the quality of the labels, proceed to start the machine. Problem: Register Mark It is possible that the machine controller loses the register mark. If 5 subsequent register marks (standard value) are not detected, the machine will be stopped automatically… What to do Check where the register mark is positioned on the label. Check whether the label length is outside the tolerance. Check whether the mark color or width changes. Check whether the register mark clearly stands out from the rest of the label. Problem: Label Transfer from the Cutter Drum to the Vacuum-assisted Gripper Cylinder Machine Mode Use the key to switch the machine to the set-up mode. Cleaning Clean the cutter drum or the vacuum assisted gripper cylinder. The Pressure in the Cutter Drum is too Low Adjust the correct vacuum in the cutter drum. Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 55 of 56 Blowing Pressure on the Cutter Drum Adjust the correct blowing air pressure on the cutter drum. Label Pick up by the Vacuum-assisted Gripper Cylinder Check whether the clearance between the cutter drum and all vacuum bars on the vacuum-assisted gripper cylinder is 0.6mm. Rotate the vacuum cylinder manually to the position shown. The rear edge of the trailing edge vacuum bar must be shifted by 2mm to the center of the anvil bar (label overlap). Call a Mechanic If you have are still having problems with the label or the vacuum-assisted gripper cylinder call a mechanic. Problem: Label Transfer from the Vacuum-assisted Gripper Cylinder to the Container Pressure Between Leading-edge Vacuum Bar and Container Check the pressure between the leading-edge vacuum bar and the container (dimension 12mm depending on the container/product). Call a Mechanic Call a mechanic is you are still having problems with the vacuum assisted gripper cylinder or the container. Label Transfer to the Container Jog a container into the cut-of point between the center of the polygon shaft (vacuum-assisted gripper cylinder) and the center of the carrousel. Krones HS Contiroll Training Manual Page 56 of 56 The three centers (vacuum-assisted gripper cylinder – container – carrousel) must be in alignment with each other. To ensure a correct label transfer, the center of the leading-edge vacuum bar (flat surface/glued label surface) must meet the center of the container. Call a Mechanic If you are still having problems with the label transfer to the container call a mechanic.
