Maintenance (Continued)
Applying/Buffing Roller Replacement
Replacing roller requires removal of shaft and
mounting screws. With no area on the shaft to grip,
the shaft often turns when attempting to remove the
second screw.
To ease removal of second screw, a 4 mm hex
socket has been provided at the bottom of the
threads in both ends of the shaft. Insert a 4 mm hex
key wrench into this socket after removing one screw
to hold the shaft for removal of the second screw.
See Figure 4-3.
Cleaning
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when conveyed through taping
heads. If this dust is allowed to build-up on the
heads, it can cause wear on the moving parts.
Excessive dirt build-up should be wiped off with a
damp cloth. Cleaning should be done once per
month, depending on the number and type of boxes
used. If the boxes used are dirty, or if the
environment in which the heads operate is dusty,
cleaning on a more frequent basis may be
necessary.
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from taping
heads by blowing it out with compressed air.
This can cause the dirt to be blown inside the
components onto sliding surfaces. Dirt in these
areas can cause serious equipment damage.
Never wash down or subject taping heads to
conditions causing moisture condensation on
components. Serious equipment damage could
result.

• To reduce the risk associated with shear, pinch, and entanglement hazards:
− Turn air and electrical supplies off on associated equipment before performing any adjustments,
maintenance, or servicing the taping heads
− Never attempt to work on the taping head or load tape while the box drive system is running
• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:
− Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards. The blades are
extremely sharp
