INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
The OLIVER Model 1908 Lidder has been designed and manufactured to provide a high
quality machine that is a cost effective approach to producing film lidded trays. The
machine can be operated with a 120 V.A.C. outlet. The Model 1908 is an automated
system capable of producing a high volume, but it is easy to operate and requires
minimal space.
The machine consists of a conveyor system that transports the filled trays, a film feed
system, a heated platen and a film cutter unit. These are all packaged together in a
stainless steel framework that also houses all the necessary controls. The conveyor is
intermittent motion and is capable of running speeds of 5 to 35 packages per minute.
The system also includes an air compressor that is a separate unit that can be located
remotely.

Remove the tie-downs that hold the Trays from moving. Cut bands
that hold the 1908 Machine and the Air Compressor on the skid.
Lift the Air Compressor and then the Machine off the skid in a safe
manner.

MACHINE PLACEMENT AND UTILITIES
MODEL 1908
Decide on a suitable location for the machine. This location should have ample room to
work around all sides of the machine. Once the machine is in the location where it will
be used, the brakes on the casters should be locked by stepping down on the brake
locking lever. To unlock, lift the lever with your foot. Do not attempt to move machine
with casters in locked position.
The machine operates on 120 V.A.C., 60 Hz, 15 Amp electrical power. It is
recommended that this power be supplied by an overhead drop to prevent the cord from
becoming a trip hazard.
The machine needs to be connected to compressed air. This is accomplished by
connecting the machine to the air compressor supplied with the machine. This
connection should be made using an overhead drop.

Air Compressor
Decide on a suitable location for the air compressor. It is best to locate it out of the way
and preferably where the noise will not be a factor. The air compressor operates on
120 V.A.C., 60 Hz, 15 Amp electrical power. The air compressor is supplied with a 70
ft. length of 3/8”ID air hose that needs to be connected between the air compressor and
the Model 1908. This air hose has quick-disconnect fittings at both ends for easy
connection and disconnection. Pull the collar back on the female portion of the quick-
disconnect fitting and then push the female portion onto the male portion and release
your hand. Pull on the hose to make sure the connection is secure.

Air Compressor Continued
The air compressor has been factory set. If for some reason the settings are not
correct, the following procedure should be followed to set the output pressure from the
compressor.
The gage shown below should be set at 80 PSI. This is accomplished by turning the
knob on the regulator clockwise to increase pressure or counter clockwise to decrease
pressure. It is recommended that the air compressor be left with the switch in the
“AUTO”position. The compressor will only run when there is a demand for air when it is
set in the “AUTO”position. Leaving the switch in this position assures that the
compressor will be ready when it is needed.
