5.2 INTENDED USE
lThe Quik-Kote emulsion coating machine is intended for the automatic
application of various types of emulsion on one or two screens of the same size
simultaneously. The emulsion machine has the ability to apply emulsion on one
side of the screen, or both sides of the screen simultaneously.
Any other use of the device besides those described in this manual is strictly
forbidden. Incorrect use of the device will void the warranty.

6. OPERATION
6.1 WORK SEQUENCE
Before using the emulsion coating
machine, make sure that the machine
is connected to the power source
and that the electrical cable is not
damaged or interfering with the
operation of the machine. Ensure that
the air pressure supplied meets the air
requirements specied in the technical
documentation. It is also important
to ensure that all emulsion residues
have been cleaned from the working
surfaces of the machine before use,
and that the tip of the scoop is free of
damage (burrs) as this may prevent
the machine from working properly. In
case of contamination, clean all work
surfaces before starting the machine.
If the nozzle of the ladle is damaged,
such a ladle cannot be used To turn on
the emulsion machine, turn the main
switch (20) to the ON position

With the help of a handle, set the
required pressure on the block air
preparations. Clockwise to reduce air
pressure, counterclockwise to increase
air pressure.
It is necessary to adjust the machine
to the size of the screen on which the
emulsion will be applied. To do this,
you need to raise the handle (7) by
90 degrees and turn the handwheel
accordingly - clockwise to raise the
upper beam, or counterclockwise to
lower it. First, lower the beam to the
height of the screen, then install the
screen and the upper beam should be
set at such a height that there is a gap
of 4-7 mm between the screen locking
system (18) and the screen (23), which
will be attached to the pin (6). Lower
the handle back to its original position
after setting the desired height.

After setting the machine to accommodate the desired screen size, install the
screen (23) in the lower screen holder (13), set the side screen holders (14)
so that each subsequent screen of the same size can be quickly positioned to
maximize productivity. To set the position of the screen holders, it is necessary
to loosen the screw (24) and move the screen holders to the desired position,
after setting, x the screw. The screen should be held by the upper pin (6), then
the operator can clamp the screen in place with the locking system by pressing
the button (3). To check the correct centering of the screen, install a scoop on the
beam (9) and visually check the centering of the screen relative to the scoop

of the emulsion in the scoop coater.
The scoop coater should be lled with
emulsion no more than 7-8mm from
the edge.
After nishing all the settings, install
the screen (23) on the emulsion
machine.
Push button (3) then you xid screen
and can start working.
The machine is ready to begin
operation after the scoop coaters are
installed and lled with emulsion and
the screens are properly installed.

IMPORTANTLY
- Screen installation
Screens should only be loaded in the position shown in (Figure A), with the ink
side facing outward. If the screens are loaded improperly (Figure B), you will need
to change the screen orientation.
- Requirements for scoops
Before starting work, carefully
check the scoops for absence of
mechanical damage. The edge
on which the emulsion is applied
should be smooth without burrs.

- When the emulsion are applied on both sidesof the screen same time.
The length of the front and rear scoop should be different.
How to correctly choose the size of the scoop, according to the screen, is shown
below.
In order to apply the emulsion to the sieve, it is necessary that the ladle is pressed
into the sieve screen, the picture below shows the pressing distance set by the
manufacturer at the factory. This is a responsible size, because its increase can
lead to the destruction of the screen, and its decrease - to the deterioration of the
quality of the applied emulsion
