FICO lubrification system for tubes/guides
Version V 4.0
Ref. CEN0399
The FICO lubrication system is dedicated to lubricate the tubes & chutes located between the shear blades and the scoops to accelerate the distribution of gobs in the delivery system.
The FICO system directly carries the lubricant (neat oil) from its packaging and then maintains the distribution lines which supply each of the machines producing glass items (jars, bottles, vials, tableware), under low pressure.
The control of the atomizers located at the end of the line is then controlled by the production machine: 1 opening every X gob passages.
FEATURES
- Spray capacity: 20 liters per minute
- Required lubricant: low viscosity white neat oil: +/- 20 cSt
- Operating pressure (AIR & LUB): 0.5 to 7 bars
- Power supply: 400 Volts - 3 phases + earth
- Power consumption: 3 kWh
- Dimensions (mm): L. 1480 x l. 942 x H. 1800
- Integrated retention tray. Weight (empty): 260 kg
AUTOMATION
SIEMENS PLC/touch terminal (HMI).
Continuous, graphical and historical displays of lubricant consumption and air + lubricant operating pressures.
Remote display and operation of display screens :
- adjustment of setpoint thresholds, recovery and monitoring of the FICO system activities (via Ethernet connection),
- mass storage on SD CARD and export of data and incident history (in Excel format) over approximately 10 days
- removable relays for remote signaling of the FICO system defects and flash reporting,
- integrated manifold for lubricant distribution: one outlet for each production machine.
MAINTENANCE
Weekly frequency, 20 minutes.
