5 Description of the machine
Ceetec IP250 is made to treat wood with wood protection products (water and oil based). The machine can
be used for rough, planed and profiled wood.
The item is led by driving rollers past a set of nozzles which add an overdose of wood protection/paint to the
item. After this rotating brushes distribute and work in the wood protection in the item.
The forward drive speed and the brush speed are stepless adjustable, and the amount of wood
protection/paint can also be adjusted by opening/closing the nozzles.
The machine’s lid as well as the detachable side plate is equipped with safety switches which make sure the
machine will stop if the lids are opened. Note that operation of the pump continues even if these switches are
broken.
By taking off the detachable side plate there is easy access to the machine’s work area for cleaning, etc.
By taking off the side plate where the controls are mounted, fixed locking plate as well as the bottom
protective screening there will be easy access to the transmissions for cleaning, maintenance and repairs.
The painting machine is mounted on wheels and thus can be moved very easily.
As an accessory the painting machine can be delivered with a roller conveyor, a larger paint container as
well as a short-item guide for short items.

Page 13 of 45
8 Control – normal operation
During normal operation the machine has an operator at each end. An operator who pushes the wood items
into the machine and another operator who takes the items once they have been painted/treated and come
out of the machine.
The painting machine’s controls are placed on the side of the machine at the intake. The main switch is
placed on the control board.
Start/stop - normal operation:
The machine is started/stopped during normal operation by turning buttons “PUMP”, “FORWARD DRIVE”
and “BRUSHES” to position 1 and 2 respectively. These are used for normal start/stop at e.g. breaks,
change of paint, etc. Please note that the pump function on machines with air powered membrane pump is
stopped by disconnecting the air supply to the pump.
Regulation of forward drive speed:
The speed of the forward drive of the items can be adjusted on the button ”FORWARD DRIVE”.
Regulation of brush speed:
The rotation speed of the brushes can be adjusted on the button ”BRUSHES”.
Stop:
For stops for moving, repairs, maintenance and disassembly the main switch on the control board must be
set to position 0 (the power is disconnected).
8.1 Emergency stop
The machine is equipped with a wire emergency stop at each end which ensures that the machine
stops when activated. When emergency stop is activated the brushes and forward drive are
stopped.
After emergency stop has been activated the machine can only be restarted with repeated activation of the
start button.
NB: Before the machine is started again you must make sure that the accident has been stopped and that
the reason for the activation of the emergency stop is known.
NEVER USE THE EMERGENCY STOPS AS A REGULAR STOP
FUNCTION

Page 14 of 45
8.2 Setting and test run
Before any start of continuous operation an individual setting and test run of the machine must be carried
out.
Setting of the machine is done the following way:
1. Disconnect the power supply
2. The machine is prepared as described in section 6.
3. Dismantle the side plate in order to get access to the machine’s work area.
4. Open both lids
5. Insert the desired item in the machine so it rests on the feed rollers. (If necessary the overpressure
roller is raised with the handle (2))
6. Set the intake guide (1) so there is app. 10 mm air on both sides of the item.
7. Lower the overpressure roller to the item by turning the handle (2) counter-clockwise. The
overpressure roller is pushed towards the item and then turned approximately two revolutions in
order to apply pressure to the item.
8. Set the four nozzle tubes (3) on each side of the item at a suitable distance to the item. The distance
from the item depends on the viscosity of the wood protection as well as desired result on the
finished item.
9. Set the 4 middle guides (6) so there is app. 10 mm air on both sides of the item. The middle guides
steer the item through the machine.
10. Set 2 overpressure wheels (7) so they are app. 10 mm between the wheel and the item. The
overpressure wheel prevents the horizontal brushes from ”lifting” thin items (up to 20 mm).
11. Set the brush pressure on the horizontal brushes by turning the four spindles (8) with the handle.
a. When turned clockwise: the brush is raised (respectively less pressure on the top and more
pressure on the bottom brushes).
b. When turned counter-clockwise: the brush is lowered (respectively more pressure on the top
brushes and less pressure on the bottom brushes).
12. Set the brush pressure on the vertical brushes by turning the two spindles (9). Use the same handle
to set the horizontal brushes.
a. When turned clockwise: The brush is moved away from the operator (respectively more
pressure on the left brushes and less pressure on the right brushes).
b. When turned counter-clockwise: The brush is moved towards (respectively less pressure on
the left brushes and more pressure on the right brushes).
NOTE: The brush pressure depends on shape of item, size of item, paint type and desired treatment,
and so must be set individually from item to item.

Page 15 of 45
13. Connect power
14. Start the pump. The electrical pump is started on the button “PUMP” which is turned to 1. The air-
powered pump is started by connecting air and possibly regulating it.
15. Carefully open the main tap (4) in order to put paint in the nozzle box.
16. Carefully open the desired number of taps (5). Always open the top nozzles first. The machine can
treat 1, 2, 3 or 4 sides of the item at once. Only open for the liquid on the sides to be treated. It is
only necessary to open the vertical nozzles if the item is more than 20 mm high, or if there is a
groove or similar which has to be treated.
17. Mount the side plate and close the doors.
18. Activate the button ”brushes” and adjust the brush speed with the button to the desired speed.
19. Activate the button ”forward drive” and adjust the forward drive with the button to the desired speed.
20. Take the item from the machine’s outlet. Note: The item will come out on its own if the machine is set
correctly! If the item stops it may be because the item has hit an intake guide, guide, nozzles or
brushes. Adjust them.
21. Have a test run with the same item 2-3 times. This ensures that the brushes are moisturised.
22. Then have a test run with an untreated item and make sure the result is as intended. Then the
machine is ready for normal operation. Check the items regularly. If necessary adjust:
a. Paint amount
b. Forward drive speed
c. Brush speed
d. Brush pressure

9 Adjustment/setting of the machine
Do not make adjustments while the machine is running. For every adjustment it must be ensured
that the machine is:
- Free of items (empty)
- Not moving (emergency stop is activated)
- Power supply is disconnected
We recommend that operators use rubber gloves and eye protection during work. Also check the
product sheet/supplier user manual for requirements to other protective equipment.
9.1 Intake guide, middle guide and overpressure roller
The intake guides (1) and the middle guides (6) steer the item sideways. The guides are set by loosening the
finger screws and moving them towards the item. There must be 2-3 mm “air” at both sides. The
overpressure rollers (6) must prevent the bottom horizontal brushes from “lifting” thin items (up to 20 mm).
The rollers are set by loosening the finger screws and moving them towards the item. There must be app. 5-
10 mm “air” over the item.
9.2 Nozzles
The nozzles (3) are placed app. 50 mm from the item. The amount of wood protection is regulated by
opening or closing the taps (5)

Page 17 of 45
9.3 Brushes and screens
The rotating brushes distribute the liquid evenly and brush away the superfluous liquid/paint.
The brushes are similar and made from durable nylon. The brushes are easy to mount and dismount for
cleaning. The setting of the brushes depends on the treatment and profile of the item.
The setting of the brush pressure on the horizontal brushes is carried out by turning the four spindles (8) with
the handle. e. When turned clockwise: the brush is raised (respectively less pressure on the top and more
pressure on the bottom brushes).
a. When turned counter-clockwise: the brush is lowered (respectively more pressure on the top
brushes and less pressure on the bottom brushes).
The setting of the brush pressure on the vertical brushes is carried out by tuning the two spindles (9). Use
the same handle as for the horizontal brushes.
f. When turned clockwise: The brush is moved away from the operator (respectively more
pressure on the left brushes and less pressure on the right brushes).
b. When turned counter-clockwise: The brush is moved towards (respectively less pressure on
the left brushes and more pressure on the right brushes).
The screens (10) prevent spray from the brushes and drips on the treated surface, and so they must always
be mounted before the machine is started. The screens are set so there is app. 10 mm “air” between the
item and the front edge.

Page 18 of 45
9.4 Forward drive
The forward drive pulls the item through the machine. The back-pressure roller is regulated by turning the
spindle with the handle.
Turning clockwise: The back-pressure roller is lifted
Turning counter-clockwise: The back-pressure roller is lowered
The back-pressure roller is brought in contact with the item and tightened app. 1 revolution, depending on
the item.

Page 19 of 45
9.5 Dismantling side plate and opening lid
Note that the pump can be activated even if the side plate is dismantled.
The side plate (1) on the right side of the machine is mounted with locks which make it easier to dismantle it
without the use of tools. The side plate is monitored by a contact which means that forward drive and
brushes cannot run when the side plate is not mounted – however the machine’s pump is not affected by this
function.
In order to start the machine’s forward drive and the rotation of the brushes the side plate must be mounted
correctly. If the door is opened while the machine is running, the machine’s forward drive and the rotation of
the brushes is stopped immediately. In order to restart the plate must be mounted correctly, and a new start
command is given with the start button.
Note that the pump can be activated even if the lids are open.
Lids (2) over forward drive and brushes are hinged and can be opened. The lids are monitored by a contact
which means that forward drive and brushes cannot run when the lids are open – however the machine’s
pump is not affected by this function.
In order to start the machine’s forward drive and the rotation of the brushes the lids must be closed. If the
door is opened while the machine is running, the machine’s forward drive and the rotation of the brushes is
stopped immediately. In order to restart the lids must be closed, and a new start command is given with the
start button.

10 Cleaning
We recommend that operators use rubber gloves and eye protection during work. Also check the
product sheet/supplier user manual for requirements to other protective equipment.
For safety reasons it is important to keep signs and operating handles clean and free from paint.
After finished operation and at colour change it is important that the machine is cleaned thoroughly.
10.1 Components
Brush screens, brushes, supporting rollers, curtain, guides and other components are dismounted and
cleaned under running water. After cleaning the parts are remounted. Brushes are dried prior to mounting.
Note that it is important that the brushes are always stacked/placed on the brush hub (1) during drying so the
hairs (2) are not bent.
10.2 The machine
The machine can be cleaned either with water or another cleaning agent depending on the type of paint
used in the machine.
The suction hose is removed from the bucket of wood protection. The pump is started, the nozzle valves are
opened (always remember to open the top nozzle first), the end plugs on the nozzles are removed, and the
final residue of liquid/paint is pumped into the machine and back in the container. After app. 2 min. the
nozzle valves are closed. Possibly stop the pump and dismantle the detachable side plate.
The nozzle system is empty when air is pressed out of the overpressure valve (air bubbles in the container).
The end plugs are remounted on the nozzle pipes.
The suction hose is placed in a bucket with water (possibly tepid water), and the overpressure hose is placed
in an empty bucket which is placed under the drain. The pump is started and the nozzle valves are opened
(always remember to open the top nozzle first). Stop the pump when only clean water comes out of the
nozzles.
The detachable side plate is dismantled. Close all nozzle valves. A washdown hose is mounted on valve no.
1. The pump is started and the machine is washed by opening valve no. 1. Then the machine is wiped and
finally filter bag, suction filter and overpressure valve is cleaned.
