machine opens the stop drop device and starts to dispense a small quantity of
colorant in the can. At the end of the cycle the machine will set to Ready status.
The machine performs a complete cycle of mixing colorants and cleaning nozzles at every power on.
The cleaning nozzles will be performed only if a can is positioned between the sensors.
The operations performed when machine is turned ON (At Start) can be enabled and disabled by software.
The computer can be turned off, mixing functions are self-managed by the machine.
Machines with FT Technology
Machines that mount FT technology can activate mixing motors to perform colorant mixing and pumps stems
moving up and down, to perform recirculation
During the mixing of the colorants, operated by the motors you can use the machine, the cycle will
automatically stop and then resume at the end of dispensing. The operation of recirculation cannot be
interrupted until the end, commands will be available only when ‘Ready’ light is on.
Mixing cycles and recirculation intervals can be customized in order to fit the rheological properties of the
colorants. Before filling the canister, consider to fill similar colorant in the same group of canisters
in order to set the same mixing interval.
Groups are composed of 8 canister each, starting from N. 1 (e.g. canister 1-8 are of same group, 9-
16 are of same group) See software manual to configure group mixing intervals.
