OP 5060
PNEUMATIC GUN FOR 370mm CARTRIDGES AND BAGS
SETTINGS
Adjustment of extrusion speed and incoming air capacity
Tighten the flow regulator ring nut clockwise to obtain a gradual closing of the air passage and
therefore a reduction of extrusion speed.
Vice-versa unscrew the ring nut counter-clockwise to obtain a gradual opening of the air passage
and therefore an increase of extrusion speed.
Adjustment of the gun thrust
The standard operating pressure of the gun is from 4 to 8bar according to material density. In case of
extrusion of a very thick material or a greater density of the product because of a lower temperature
in the work environment, directly adjust the feeding system pressure regulator. Increase air pressure
to increase gun thrust.
RISKS
•
Violent ejection of the piston, material or adapters: this occurs mainly and only when what is stated
in this manual has not been scrupulously followed, or if the front part of the machine is defective or
damaged. NEVER point the device at people or animals, and NEVER use it if the front nut or the front
part of the material tube is obviously damaged, or in any case that it is obvious that the machine or
one of its parts is not totally efficient, above all if located in the front part!
•
Air jet: it mainly occurs when releasing the lever. In that moment, the air contained in the material
holder tube is unloaded through the outlets. Pay attention not to put it close to eyes and ears; pay
attention to the presence of dusts and dangerous volatile substances. Always use safety glasses
and in case of volatile dusts, use appropriate individual protection devices to protect the respiratory
system. Check their efficacy with the substances involved.
• Lesions to hands: it may mainly occur during loading and/or ordinary maintenance operations, the
threads and the use of cartridges and bags opening tools can cause cuts or abrasions. Always use
safety gloves.
• Tube whiplash: it mainly occurs when disconnecting the machine from the main system. The
disconnected machine tube can move suddenly and unexpectedly; always use the disconnector on
the main system before disconnecting the machine.
