Automatic Greasing of Seamer "444
 
The automatic greasing system facilitates the greasing operations of the most of the points which require lubrication; of cylindrical form depending on parameters, working and stop programmed times.

This system consists of a pump with a tank, programmable screen, and a net of tubing reaching all the points to be greased.

 
Characteristics:
  Greasing pump

   
Flow: 2.5 cm³.
Functioning Temperature: -10ºC a 60ºC.
Tank capacity: 2 L.
Protection: IP 65.
  Distribution net
Progressives circuits.
Modular distributors.
.Sturdy execution.
Wide filling range.
Advantages
Less point of manual greasing.
Less point of manual greasing.
Easy programming.
Saving maintenance time.
 
MARINA-424 Pulley height regulator
 
In the standard design of the seamers "MARINA - 424", the seaming heads elevation
is carried out manually.

The motorised seaming heads elevation system consists on: a) a motor which
realises the elevation and descent operations of the seaming heads and b) a
digital measurement system of the distance between the seaming chuck and the
lower lifter plate.
 
Characteristics:
Elevation
Variable speed: from 4 to 30 m/min..
Possibility of manual movement.
Power: 0.25 Kw.
Protection: IP-65.
Measurement
Measurement range: from 15 to 150 mm.
Reading accuracy: 0.05 mm.
Protection. IP-65
Advantages
Facilitates the adjustments and maintenance of the seaming heads.
Easy and accurate measurements of the distance between seaming chuck and lower lifter plate, avoiding seaming problems due to excess or lack of pressure.
