Operating principle
The machine process starts at the soil bin, which is filled with potting soil. The soil moves onto the elevator via the
soil supply conveyor.
The elevator takes up the soil and fills the trays which another Javo machine or the machine operator has placed on
the conveyor belt.
The height and width can be adjusted for different trays making the machine suitable for various tray dimensions.
The conveyor belt moves the trays neatly under the rotor where the soil is distributed evenly. Then the trays move
past the leveller and brush and the trays will be brushed off neatly here.
The trays are now ready for further processing.
The machine is fitted with wheels making it easy to move.
Workstations at the machine
The are two workstations on the Javo Quickfiller; the tray entry and exit on the side of the soil bin.

Assembly, installation and commissioning
Location
The machine should be placed on a flat surface, with sufficient load-bearing capacity. A Javo engineer should be
present during delivery of the machine to unload it from the truck.
Assembly / connection
Any loose components supplied together with the machine should be fitted to the machine. When doing so, ensure
that moving parts are not obstructed.
When the machine is fully assembled, it can be connected to the power supply (by a qualified individual) by inserting
the plug into the socket.
Setting-up / adjusting
The following points must be checked before starting the machine:
Covers and doors
All covers and doors must be closed and secured.
Type of soil
Depending on instructions.
Elevator direction of movement
The direction of movement of the elevator must be from bottom to top. The front of the elevator
(viewed from the soil bin) must move downwards. The covered side of the elevator must move
upwards.
If it is not, have an engineer correct this.
Soil belt tension
The tension is correct when the belt hangs down ± 40 mm in the centre.
The tension can be adjusted by turning the nuts (A) simultaneously.
The four bolts (B) on the block bearings must be loosened before turning these bolts.
The tension is correct when the belt hangs down ± 40 mm.

Javo Quickfiller Manual
Version 2011-4-1 Page 10
Elevator chain tension
The elevator chain tension is correct when it can move ± 20 mm in
the centre.
The tension can be adjusted using the two tensioning nuts on either
side of the elevator housing.
Tighten the nuts (A) equally on both sides of the elevator housing.
Note:
1. The chain tension must not be too tight.
Facilities to be provided by the user
Before the machine is delivered, the necessary materials and facilities (compressed air, power supply, potting
material, etc.) need to be easily available within 3 metres of the machine.
Power supply: 200 Volt, 1 Phase + Neutral + Earth. (N. America: 220 V 3 phase. 60 Hz).

Operation
Setting-up and adjustments
The following points must be checked before starting the machine:
Covers and doors
Type of soil
Elevator direction of movement
Soil belt tension
The above mentioned settings are described in detail on pages 9 and 10. (Setting-up / adjustments", under the
heading "Assembly, installation and commissioning")
Soil elevation conveyor speed
There is a hand wheel (A) on the left side of the elevator housing. When the rod (B) is unlocked
the hand wheel can turned both left and right.
Turning to the right makes the soil elevation conveyor move more slowly. Turning to the left
increases the speed of the soil elevation conveyor.
Conveyor belt speed adjustment
The speed of the conveyor belt can be controlled using the potentiometer (A) on the
electrical cabinet.
The speed of the potentiometer ranges from 1 to 10. The conveyor belt moves fastest at
speed 10.
Rotor height
Remove the protective cover (A) using the door key. Once the protective cover has been removed one clamp (B)
must be loosened. Then the crank handle (C) can be used to adjust the rotor up and down.

Javo Quickfiller Manual
Version 2011-4-1 Page 12
Brush height
The protective cover (A) must be removed using a door key before the brush height can be adjusted. Once the
protective cover has been removed one clamp (B) must be loosened. Then the brush can be adjusted up and down
using the crank handle (C).
Soil plate in the soil bin
The height of the soil plate (A) in the soil bin can be adjusted to
set the amount of potting soil reaching the elevator.
The soil plate is attached by two wing nuts (B). Loosening these
two wing nuts allows the plate to be position higher or lower.
Tray levelling height
After the tray has been filled with potting soil it moves past a leveller to remove the surplus soil. Remove the
protective cover (A) using the door key and loosen the clamp (B). The height of the leveller can now be adjusted.

Javo Quickfiller Manual
Version 2011-4-1 Page 13
Soil guide plates
The Quickfiller has two guide plates at the potting soil discharge to send the potting soil in the right direction.
Remove the protective cover (A) using a door key so that the soil guide plates (B) can be adjusted. Turning the two
wing nuts (C) changes the position of the soil guide plates.
Starting, normal operation, stopping, emergency stop
The machine can be started in various ways, depending on how the machine was switched off earlier. The various
options are explained below.

Waste disposal
Machines, accessories and packaging must be recycled and disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.
Only for countries within the EU
Electrical components
Do not dispose of electrical components in the household waste. In accordance with the European directive on
waste electrical equipment and the translation of the directive into national legislation electrical equipment that is
no longer usable must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.
Waste oil
Waste oil, such as oil from a reduction gear unit, classifies as household hazardous waste (HHW). A duty of collection
applies for HHW. This means that waste oil cannot be disposed of in household waste. Waste oil has to be collected
