Lubrication of the following items is essential for maximum service


from the machine. All lubricants must be approved for use in a food
processing operation. Refer to page 8 for a full explanation of
approved lubricants.

LUBRICATION USDA CLASSIFICATIONS


All lubricants used on food processing machines or in a food process
ing facility must be approved by USDA for this use. USDA has two
classifications for lubricants that are approved for food processing
applications.
H1 Lubricants as defined by USDA regulation
These compounds may be used as a lubricant with incidental food
contact for use in official establishments operating under the [USA]
Federal meat and poultry products inspection program. Such com
pounds may be used on food processing equipment as a protective
antirust film, as a release agent on gaskets or seals of tank closures,
and as a lubricant for machine parts and equipment in locations in
which there is potential exposure of the lubricated part to food. The
amount used should be the minimum required to accomplish the de
sired technical effect on the equipment. If used as an antirust film the
compounds must be removed from the equipment surface by washing
or wiping, as required to leave the surface effectively free of any sub
stance which could be transferred to food being processed."
H2 Lubricants as defined by USDA regulation
These compounds may be used as a lubricant, release agent, or anti
rust film on equipment and machine parts or in closed system (e.g.,
hydraulic systems) in locations in which there is no possibility of the
lubricant or lubricated part contacting edible products."
Repair Parts and Procedures Using Lubricants
All replacement parts and all repair procedures must utilize only
approved lubricants which are appropriate for their specific location.
For example, if a permanently lubricated bearing is used in the food
zone, its internal lubricant must be classified H1. Likewise, if a lubri
cant is used to assemble close fitting parts in the food zone, this
lubricant must be classified H1.

8
NL FLEXLinker (Ultra5000)

34188B2E10

Lubricants Available From Townsend


If a lubricant is not classified either H1 or H2 by USDA it must not be
used anywhere in a food processing facility, or in or on a food proces
sing machine.
All lubricants offered by Townsend Engineering are USDA approved.
Make sure, however, that they are used properly. Specifically, if there is
a possibility that the lubricant could contact the food product or food
zone, then a lubricant classified H1 must be used; lubricants classified
H2 must only be used where there is no possibility of contact of the
lubricant with the food product or the food zone.
See page 7 for specific instructions for the Model NL FLEXLinker.

OVERHAUL GUIDELINES
General Instructions
ORGANIZE THE WORK

Work in an organized manner, keeping the work area clean. Lay parts
out in a disassembly sequence. When fasteners are removed, reinstall
them in their respective holes to keep track of where they go.
REPLACE SEALS & BEARINGS

When seals are taken apart, replace them with new seals. Also,
because of the time required for most disassembly, it is usually
economical to replace bearings with new bearings when disassembly
occurs. When installing close fitting parts, lubricate their mating
surfaces to prevent damage during installation. Use only USDA type
H1 lubricant if the lubricant could come in contact with the food
product or the food zone refer to page 7 for full explanation.
WORN OR DAMAGED PARTS

During disassembly, any parts that appear worn or damaged should


be replaced to prevent repeated disassembly at a later time.
SELFLOCKING FASTENERS

Lock nuts and lock washers should be replaced once they have been
removed or loosened plastic and stainless materials of such
fasteners do not retain locking properties for more than one
installation.
SANITATION

Because this machine handles food materials, organic matter may be


present on the equipment and could be a source of infection. Have the
machine cleaned before servicing it. Wear appropriate protective gear.
If you get cut, obtain medical treatment immediately. Preserve the
sanitary design of the machine.
PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN

Repair parts must be Townsendapproved spare parts. To preserve


maximum operating safety, never alter the original design of the
machine. Use the machine only for the purpose for which it was
designed and intended. Do not modify the machine in any way without
Townsend approval.
LUBRICANTS

All lubricants used in a food processing facility must be approved by


USDA for this use refer to page 7 for full explanation.

Drive belt tension affects the life of a drive belt. If the tension exceeds
the belt manufacturers specifications, the life of the belt will be short
ened. If tension is below specifications, the belt will easily slip (jump a
tooth) when full loads are encountered. This will also shorten belt life,
and will create timing problems for the NL FLEXLinker.
Belt tension is measured by the amount of deflection that occurs
(measured perpendicular to the path of the belt) when a specified
force is applied to the center of a specified span of the belt (applied in
a perpendicular direction).
The proper tension for the drive belt number 1 [65] of the twister drive
system is shown below.

tion that this force has caused in the belt. Adjust the belt tension
until this test shows the correct amount of deflection, within
1 mm (.063 inch).

1. Tension the drive belts number 2 [62] and number 3 [64] before
tensioning belt number 1 [65]. For information about belt number
2, see page 25. For information about belt number 3, see page

Drive belt tension affects the life of a drive belt. If the tension exceeds
the belt manufacturers specifications, the life of the belt will be short
ened. If tension is below specifications, the belt will easily slip (jump a
tooth) when full loads are encountered. This will also shorten belt life,
and will create timing problems for the NL FLEXLinker.
Belt tension is measured by the amount of deflection that occurs
(measured perpendicular to the path of the belt) when a specified
force is applied to the center of a specified span of the belt (applied in
a perpendicular direction).
The proper tension for the encoder drive belt [254] is shown below.

How to tension the drive belts


Tension the drive belts properly in order to ensure proper function,
and to maximize belt life. Tension that exceeds the belt manufacturers
specification will stretch the belt apart, causing premature failure.
Tension below specification will allow the belt to jump teeth on the pul
leys, causing the belt and pulley teeth to wear. This will also cause tim
ing problems for the NL FLEXLinker.
Belt tension is measured by the amount of deflection that occurs
(measured perpendicular to the path of the belt) when a specified
force is applied to the center of a specified span of the belt (applied in
a perpendicular direction), as shown in the illustration see reference
[291]. The amount of this deflection depends on the design of the
belt, and the length of the belt span being tested. The following chart
lists the tension specifications for the belts of the NL FLEXLinker.
(For information about the conveyor drive, refer to the separate manu
al for it.)

Lock out the electrical supply to the machine before


testing belt tension.

METERING PUMP
Wear of pump gears or of the inside walls of the gear housing will
reduce the output capacity of the metering pump [323]. As this output
capacity decreases, the pump speed relative to linker and twister
speeds must be increased in order to maintain link weight and stuffed
diameter. The touch screen control of the Model NL FLEXLinker keeps
track of this wear by monitoring performance of, and adjustments to,
product number 1, and automatically warns you when it is time to
rebuild the pump.
How to remove and install
1. Remove the stuffing tube [322] and the stuffing tube block [328].
2. Disconnect the stuffing tube clamp from the metering pump. How:
Remove the plug [3211], then remove the screw [3210].

CASING HOPPER & CLAMP


How to adjust the casing hopper and casing clamp
The casing hopper and casing clamp must be adjusted for the size of
casings to be stuffed. When properly adjusted, the hopper automati
cally feeds casings by gravity down a chute to the casing clamp. The
casing clamp then grabs the individual casing emerging from the bot
tom of the hopper and holds it so the stuffing tube can thread through
the center of the casing. This automatic operation will continue until
the hopper runs out of casings.
1. Set bottom stops of hopper : The bottom edge of the hopper
(front [389] and rear sides of the chute leading down to the cas
ing clamp) must clear the top surface of the front [3815] and rear
[3814] casing clamp halves by 13 mm (.04.08 inch). (If the cas
ing is a number 32 size or larger, raise the bottom of the hopper to
clear the top of the casing by a similar amount.) To change this
vertical position of the hopper, raise the hopper wide open and
adjust the two stop bolts [3813] in the lower mounting bracket.
Note: Raise the head of each bolt to increase the elevation of the
hopper. Retighten the jam nut [3812] for each bolt to retain the
setting. If casings are in the hopper, rotate the lever [3810] on the
casing catch assembly to prevent casings from falling out the bot
tom of the hopper when it is raised.

Note: If the support fingers are too low, small size casings could
roll out the back of the clamp when the clamp is open. If the fin
gers are too high, large size casings could fail to be centered
when the clamp closes.

2. Set support fingers for casing clamp: With the clamp fully open,
lay one casing in the clamp. Turn the Thandle knob [3819] (CCW
= raise) to adjust the elevation of the support fingers [3818]
cradling the casing. Adjust the fingers upward just high enough
that they retain the casing against the Vchannel in the front half of
the clamp.

How to adjust the hopper and casing clamp continued


3. Set closed position of clamp: With a casing resting in the clamp,
and while pushing in on the front half [3815] of the clamp, turn
the front center knob [3821] (CCW = wider opening) until the
clamp fits loosely around the casing.
Note: To close the clamp, do not pull out on the rear half [3814] of
the clamp only push in on the front half of the clamp. Also, lift up
on the end of the emptycasinghook [3820] to allow the clamp to
travel to its fully closed position as you push in on the front half of
the clamp.
4. Set bottom opening of hopper: Loosen the left and right Thandle
knobs [383][387] on the sides of the hopper (turning top of
knobs towards you = loosen) to slide the bottom plate [3811]
until the chute opening is 23 mm (.08.12 inch) larger than the
outside diameter of the casings. Retighten the Thandle knobs to
retain the setting.
5. Set height of front panel: Loosen the two Thandle knobs [386] on
the upper edge of the front of the hopper to slide the front panel
[385] up or down. Position the bottom edge of this panel to just
clear the top of the last casing stacked in the chute leading to the
casing clamp. Retighten the Thandle knobs to retain the setting.
Note: Depending on the diameter of the particular casings being
run, this stack may be one or several casings.

6. Set bumper for front panel: While pushing the front half [3815] of
the casing clamp fully in, adjust the protrusion of the bumper
[3816] to push the tab [388] inward on the front panel of the
hopper until it almost touches the stationary part of the hopper.
Tighten the locking knob [3817] to retain the setting.
Note: Make sure the bumper does not stop the travel of the clamp,
or else the clamp will not fully grip the casing.
7. Adjust left partition for casing length: Loosen the wing screw
[381] and slide the partition [382] until the casings have between
35 mm (.12.20 inch) of overall end clearance between the right
side [384] and the partition.
Note: Casings must slide freely down toward the bottom of the
hopper do not position the partition so far to the right that gravity
will not feed the casings down the hopper.

Before the casing clamp housing can be aligned, the pedestal must be
installed and aligned properly.
How to align the pedestal
1. With the pedestal in the lowered forward position, disconnect the
electrical and air supplies from the machine.
2. If necessary, relocate the support posts [437] to align with the
support sockets [434] on the bottom of the pedestal plate [432].
3. Install a small stuffing tube [431] in the retracted position.
4. Position an alignment tube or bar in the clamp. This alignment
tool should be 1015 mm (1/2 inch) diameter, and extend from the
stuffing tube block through the twister bore.
5. Close the casing clamp on this alignment tube. How: Disconnect
the air line from the outlet end of the flow control in the line from
port A on the control valve. Then connect supply pressure to the
tube that connects to the air cylinder.
6. Adjust the feet [433][435] of the casing clamp halves, or adjust
the height of the pedestal plate support posts, to bring the casing
clamp center into alignment with the horizontal plane that inter
sects the centers of the stuffing tube and the twister bore.

CASING CLAMP
Alignment has two parts: (1) align the casing clamp housing so that
the casing clamp is parallel to the path of the stuffing tube (see below),
and (2) center the closed position of the casing clamp on the path of
the stuffing tube (see page 99).
Once the clamp is aligned, the clamp and the hopper must also both
be adjusted for the size (diameter) of the casings being filled (see
page 83).
How to align the casing clamp housing
1. Make sure the pedestal is aligned see page 95.
2. Retract the stuffing tube and follower air cylinders [4412][4413].
Remove the stuffing tube [441], stuffing tube block [443], follow
er thrust collar [444], twister chuck [445], and linking unit [442],
if they are still installed on the machine. Allow the end of the fol
lower [449] to rotate away from the casing clamp area.
3. Raise the pedestal, using the Manual Mode view on the touch
screen. Remove the screws [4417][4419] attaching the bottom
cover [4418] to the pedestal plate [4415]. Loosen slightly the
four screws [4416][4421] attaching the casing clamp housing
[4420] keep the screws tight enough that the casing clamp
housing will not move easily. Lower the pedestal fully down, keep
ing the bottom cover in its normal position.

LINKERS
How to identify the type of linker you have
Two types of linkers are available for the Model NL FLEXLinker an
RT type and a DB type.
RT linkers
Townsend RT linkers [501] mount the idler sprockets [503] on bars
[505]. The design incorporates a springloaded feature that automati
cally tensions the linking chains [504] properly. This prevents damage
that can be caused by excessive chain tension. The springloaded de
sign also maintains a constant chain tension as chains wear and
stretch. This automatic tension feature will compensate for small varia
tions that could occur over a weeks time.
The linker can be set for various product cell lengths by changing
chain sets. Most common product sizes can be mounted on the stan
dard bars. Longer bars are available to run longer product sizes.
Information about the RT linkers begins on page 113.
DB linkers
Townsend DB linkers [502] are based on the original simple linker
design, and the idler sprockets [506] are mounted in a stationary
position on a flat plate [507]. Each plate can mount a range of linking
chain lengths. Various plates are available for various length chains.
For information about DB linkers, see page 131.
MAINTENANCE

TROUBLESHOOTING

Linking chain sets determine the cell size of the product you produce.
The linking chain set must be in good condition. There must be no
nicks or burrs that could puncture the casing, and the lugs must not
be bent from their original shape.

Linking chains

The linking chain set must be properly installed, which includes adjust
ing the relative position of the pairs of pinching lugs, adjusting the
width between the two chains, adjusting the tension on the chains, and
adjusting the position of all support components.

LINKERS
Align the linker (whether RT type or DB type) to the twister, so that the
sausage product will flow directly from the center of the twister chuck
into the center of the linking chain set.
How to align the linker with the twister chuck
1. Remove the cap nuts [511].
2. Rotate the feet [513] while holding the adjustment nuts [512] sta
tionary to raise or lower the linker until the centerline of the linking
chain set is aligned with the centerline of the twister chuck [514]
when the chuck is installed in the twister. Note: The centerline of
the twister bore is 84,14 mm (3.125 inch) above the top surface of
the cabinet. The driving shear pin in the gearbox input shaft must
fit into the slot in the drive shaft in the top of the cabinet. The pin
must not be positioned so high that it is could vibrate out of the
slot, nor so low that the pin bottoms out in the slot.
3. Reinstall the cap nuts, maintaining the position of the adjustment
nuts on the feet. Tighten the cap nuts securely. Recheck the
height and alignment between the linker and twister chuck.

Excessive linking chain tension will cause premature wear on the
chain. Once the tension is correctly set, use the back guides [522] to
keep the linking chains in their proper position (see page 117 for back
guide adjustment).
How to tension the linking chains
1. With the cam lever [529] and brake screw [528] released, slide
the spring housing [527] toward the end of the linker until the
guide pins [523] in the idler towers [524] engage the slot [525]
in the end of the spring housing, and all slack is removed from the
linking chains [521].
2. With the slack removed from the linking chains, tighten the brake
screw securely. Note: The spring housing must push the idler tow
ers and stretch the linking chains, but it is not necessary or desir
able to heavily preload the linking chains with this contact.
3. Swing the cam lever to load the springs [526]. Note: The cam
mechanism compresses the springs to create the correct tension
on the linking chains.

The pincher lugs [532] must never contact each other while running.
Such contact could pinch and rupture a casing. The following instruc
tions describe how to adjust the relative position of the pincher lugs.
How to set the pincher position
1. Check to see that your lugs are oriented as shown the attach
ment ears trail the casing support lobes as the linking chains
move. This will position the two lugs that have no support lobes
on the trailing side of a set of pincher lugs. Experience has shown
that this arrangement is most resistant to pinching the casing, and
minimizes the possibility of casing rupture.
2. Rotate the set of linking chains [531] until a pair of pincher lugs
[532] are beginning to engage at the inlet end. Observe the mini
mum gap [538] between the pair of upper lobes as they pass
each other. Observe the similar gap [539] between the lower
lobes. If the gaps are not approximately the same, then proceed
with steps 3 thru 6. Note: The gaps are best measured when the
sprockets are oriented approximately as shown. The arrows [533]
[535] point out landmark features to help recognize the approxi
mate sprocket position.
3. Back out both setscrews [534] in the lock collar of one gear box
shaft (either shaft).
4. Loosen the cap nut [536] on that same shaft.

The pincher lugs [541] will help form the twist in the casing when the
gap between the pairs of fully engaged pincher lugs is correct. The
gap must be 4 mm (5/32 inch) for S" or L" size linking chains, or
1,5 mm (1/16 inch) for C" size linking chains. The size of this gap is
determined by where the back guides are positioned. The following
instructions describe how to adjust this gap.
How to position the back guides
1. Loosen the top mounting screws [545] for the back guides
[543].
2. Slide a rod [542] with the proper diameter (customer supplied)
through the center of the mounted pair of linking chains [544],
passing through the center of each pair of pincher lugs [541].
Note: The rod diameter should be 4 mm (5/32 inch) for S" and L"
linking chains, or 1,5 mm (1/16 inch) for C" linking chains. This
difference is to accommodate the difference in the thickness of
the twisted casing for larger sized products (S" and L")
compared to smaller (C") products. Refer to Recommended
Equipment" in the Operators Manual for linking chain selection
for various diameter casing sizes.
3. Slide the back guides towards the rod until the pinchers touch the
rod.
4. Tighten the mounting screws to retain the position of the back
guides. Remove the rod.

With use, the linking chains can be damaged or become worn. Exces
sive wear can damage sprockets. Excessive stretch can cause cell
size to increase, and may make it difficult to tension the chains if
adjustment space is used up on the mounting bars for the idler tow
ers. Replace worn sprockets; worn chain drive components can dam
age good chain drive components.
How to replace linking chains
1. Release the cam lever [5512], and loosen the brake screw
[5511].
2. Remove the back guides [559].
3. Slide the spring housing [558] and idler towers [557] to relax the
tension on the linking chains [555]. Remove the old linking chain
set.
4. Replace old sprockets [556][5510] if they are worn.
5. Install the new chain set onto the sprockets. Check to see that
your lugs are oriented as shown, with the attachment ears trailing
the casing support lobes as the linking chains move (see page
115). This will position the two lugs [551][553] that have no sup
port lobes on the trailing side of a set of pincher lugs [552][554],
as shown. This arrangement is most resistant to pinching the cas
ing, and minimizes the possibility of casing rupture.

Linking chains define the cell length of the product being produced. To
change to a different cell length, simply replace the current linking
chains with a set that is designed to make the desired product. The
most common product sizes can be installed on the standard bars.
Chains that are longer may need longer bars, and may require addi
tional back guides.
It is possible to change the linking chain set to a different cell length
size, but only certain size linking chains will mount on a specific set of
support rods. Refer to page 241 for more information about specific
equipment.
How to change to a different cell size
1. Remove the old linking chain set (see page 119).

2. If the support bars need to be changed to accommodate the new


linking chain set (see selection chart on page 241), do the follow
ing (a thru d):
a. Remove the idler towers, the spring housing, and all back
guide housings from the bars, and replace the bars with the
correct length bars.
b. Install the correct number of back guide housings. Note: If the
new linker is so long that the bottom guide pin in the spring
housing does not engage the guide channel mounted on the
cabinet top, then orient the web of one of the back guide hous
ings to make sure a bottom guide pin falls in the guide chan
nel.
c. Install the spring housing.
d. Install the two idler towers, and retain everything with end
washers and screws.
3. Install the new linking chain set onto the sprockets.
4. Adjust the linking chain tension (see page 113).
5. Check for correct alignment of the pincher lugs (see page 115).
6. Install and adjust the back guides (see page 117). Note: Unless
the new linking chain set has the same number of total pitches as
the old linking chain set, the back guide housings may mount in a
different position than they did with the previous linking chain set.

Use only edible grease (refer to page 7) to assemble the linker.
(See pages 122 and 124 for the illustration callout numbers shown in
the following instructions.)
How to assemble the linker
1. Install the support bars [5712].
2. Install the drive sprockets [587] (hub side up) onto the gearbox
shafts. Note: Lock collars are keyed to the shafts. Each sprocket
is gripped by being clamped when the cap nut [582] and set
screws [585] are tightened. Align the sprockets with the two near
est teeth pointing directly at each other. Final alignment of the
sprockets is set by aligning the pincher lugs [581] (see page
115).
3. Assemble and install the back guide assembly [5711]. Note:
Some of these parts are asymmetrical, and may need to be turned
in a specific way to accommodate the size of your particular link
ing chain set. Decide first if the web of the back guide housing
[5719] must hold the bottom guide pin [5729] (instead of the pin
being in the spring housing assembly [5710]). If so, and if you
have previously removed the guide pin during disassembly, install
the guide pin in the web. Then determine whether the web carry
ing the bottom guide pin needs to be assembled closer to the
inlet or outlet end of the linker, and slide the back guide assembly
onto the support bars accordingly. Longer linkers may require
more than one back guide assembly. Do not tighten the delrin
back guides [5727] until after the linking chain set [571] is
installed (step 9 below). Install and tighten the two hand knobs
[5728] to retain the position of the back guide assembly on the
support bars.
4. Reassemble the pressure plate [5724] and cam [5726] onto the
spring housing. Note: Turn the cam so that the flat side is up
that is, towards the same side of the spring housing as the brake
cone [5715]. Turn the pressure plate so that the bottom guide pin
is pointed down that is, towards the same side of the spring
housing as the brake screw [5723]. Install the bottom guide pin in
the pressure plate if previously removed.

5. Lubricate and install the brake pads [5714] and brake cone
[5715]. Note: Turn the tapered end of the brake pads towards the
center of the spring housing to mate with the brake cone. The
brake cone groove engages the pin [5717] in the spring housing.
Retain the brake cone loosely with the brake screw [5723] and
washer.
6. Install the spring housing assembly onto the support bars.
7. Slide the eight push pins [5718] and the two springs [5716] into
the spring housing.
8. Assemble and install the idler towers as shown [579]. Install the
end washers [578] and screws [577] on the support bars. Lubri
cate the needle bearings [575] thru the grease fittings [572] on
top. Note: The delrin washers [576] must be next to the sprock
ets.

Excessive linking chain tension will cause premature wear on the
chain. Once the tension is correctly set, use the back guides [595] to
keep the linking chains in their proper position (see page 135 for back
guide adjustment).
How to tension the linking chains
1. Loosen the back guides [595].
2. With the linking chain set [591] installed, slightly loosen the bot
tom screw [596] in both idler towers [594].
3. Turn the tensioner rod [597] to remove all slack from the linking
chains. Retighten the bottom screw in both idler towers. Note:
Excessive tension on the linking chains will cause premature wear
of the linking chains and sprockets [593][598], and will stretch
the linking chains.
4. Check alignment of the pincher lugs [592] (see page 133).
5. Readjust the back guides (see page 135).

The pincher lugs [602] must never contact each other while running.
Such contact could pinch and rupture a casing. The following instruc
tions describe how to adjust the relative position of the pincher lugs.
How to set the pincher position
1. Check to see that your lugs are oriented as shown the attach
ment ears trail the casing support lobes as the linking chains
move. This will position the two lugs that have no support lobes
on the trailing side of a set of pincher lugs. Experience has shown
that this arrangement is most resistant to pinching the casing, and
minimizes the possibility of casing rupture.
2. Rotate the set of linking chains [601] until a pair of pincher lugs
[602] are beginning to engage at the inlet end, as shown.
Observe the minimum gap [608] between the pair of upper lobes
as they pass each other. Observe the similar gap [609] between
the lower lobes. If the gaps are not approximately the same, then
proceed with the following. Note: The gaps will be best measured
when the sprockets are oriented approximately as shown. The
outline arrows [603][605] point out landmark features to help
recognize the sprocket position.
3. Back out both setscrews [604] in the lock collar of one gear box
shaft (either shaft).
4. Loosen the cap nut [606] on that same shaft.

The pincher lugs [611] will help form the twist in the casing when the
gap in the center of fully engaged pincher lugs is correct. The gap
must be 4 mm (5/32 inch) for S" or L" type linking chains, or 1,5 mm
(1/16 inch) for C" type linking chains. The following instructions
describe how to adjust this gap.
How to position the back guides
1. Loosen the top mounting screws [614] for the back guides
[613].
2. Slide a rod [612] with the proper diameter (customer supplied)
through the center of the mounted pair of linking chains [615],
passing through the center of each pair of pincher lugs [611].
Note: The rod diameter should be 4 mm (5/32 inch) for S" and L"
linking chains, or 1,5 mm (1/16 inch) for C" linking chains. This
difference is to accommodate the difference in the thickness of
the twisted casing for larger sized products (S" and L")
compared to smaller (C") products. Refer to Recommended
Equipment" in the Operators Manual for linking chain selection
for various diameter casing sizes.
3. Slide the back guides towards the rod until the pinchers touch the
rod.
4. Tighten the top mounting screws to retain the position of the back
guides. Remove the rod.

With use, the linking chains can be damaged or become worn. Exces
sive wear can damage sprockets. Excessive stretch can cause cell
size to increase, and may make it difficult to tension the chains if
adjustment space is used up on the mounting plate for the idler tow
ers. Replace worn sprockets; worn chain drive components can dam
age good chain drive components.
It is possible to change the linking chain set to a different cell length
size, but only certain size linking chains will mount on a specific base
plate. Refer to page 243 for more information about specific equip
ment.
How to replace linking chains
1. Remove the back guides [638].
2. Loosen the bottom screw [6310] mounting each idler tower
[637] and turn the tensioner rod [639] to relax tension on the

SERVO AMPLIFIER (U4)


A servo amplifier controls the drive motor in the conveyor, coordinating
the movement of conveyor hooks with the movement of the linker, so
that the strand of product links will hang properly on the conveyor
hooks. An encoder connected to the linker drive sends signals to the
system, and the servo amplifier manipulates these signals and con
trols the conveyor motor accordingly.
If there is a fault condition in this system for the conveyor motor, the
servo amplifier will display an error code to identify the nature of the
problem.
What to do if there is an error message
1. Stop the machine if it has not already stopped.
2. The Diagnostic view on the touch screen will guide you for most
fault conditions.
3. Use the table below to identify servo amplifier error codes. Make
repairs accordingly.
Error Codes
When a fault is detected, the 7segment LED [661] on the servo am
plifier will show a flashing E" followed by a two digit error code that
registers one digit at a time. This error code indication will repeat until
the problem is cleared.

AIR SYSTEM
Refer to the schematic diagram on page 156 for information about the
air system of the NL FLEXLinker. Supply pressure should be at least
least 75 psi (520 kPa), and should be clean and dry.
In additon to the components and connections shown on the diagram,
an internal air cushion feature is built into both ends of the air cylinders
of the follower and stuffing tube. The cylinders are adjusted at the factory and should need no additional user attention, but if they have
been tampered with, set them by turning the adjustment screw near
each port. Normal setting is fully closed, then back counter-clockwise
1-1/2 turns (clockwise = greater restriction). Fine tune this adjustment
as desired to minimize any loud pounding of the piston as it reaches
the ends of its stroke, while still allowing adequate cycle speed.

General comments
The NL FLEXLinker has selfdiagnostic features that continuously mon
itor the status of critical components of the machine, and will automati
cally report problems to you via the touch screen. See page 162 for
more details.
Machine wont run right? Check these first.
Check the following before assuming a component has failed:
1. Supply voltage . . . . . Is it connected to the machine and turned
on; is it the proper voltage?
2. Safety devices . . . . . Are all guards and other safety devices
properly installed or closed?
3. Utilities . . . . . . . . . . . Are the pneumatic and water utilities con
nected and turned on for normal operation?
4. Product selected . . . Using the touch screen, has a valid product
been defined and selected to run?
5. Variable equipment . Are all the proper variable components
installed for the specific product being run?
6. Stuffer . . . . . . . . . . . . Is the stuffer connected and operating
properly to supply emulsion to the metering
pump?
7. Casings . . . . . . . . . . . Are casings loaded in the casing hopper?
8. Cycle pushbutton . . Have you pushed the cycle pushbutton to
start?

Variables that can change


The NL FLEXLinker must be finetuned for several variables. If the
machine does not perform as expected, evaluate the following in
addition to checking the mechanism of the NL FLEXLinker.
Product Formulation:
Different meat formulations may require different machine settings and
equipment.
Temperature:
Variations in temperature between batches of meat may require fine
tuning the machine for exact control.
Casings:
Faulty or damaged casings can cause breakage problems. Substitute
new casings (from a different lot if possible) when investigating casing
breakage.
Stuffer:
Unstable stuffer pressures (especially low pressure and starving the
metering pump) can cause weight variation. Excessive pressures can
cause casing breakage. These problems become more noticeable as
the metering pump wears. Use a Townsend AutoFlow Valve when us
ing a continuous stuffer.

Overall Machine Condition:


Normal wear causes slight changes in daytoday performance of the
machine. Proper preventive maintenance is essential for maximum
service from the machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Automatic diagnostics
While the machine is running, the NL FLEXLinker will automatically in
form you when there is a problem with the machine. The normal rou
tine for discovering and resolving an equipment problem is described
below.
1. The PLC senses an interruption of the expected sequence of
events, and causes the Diagnostic1 view to immediately appear
on the touch screen. Part of the image will be flashing, indicating
the location of the problem. The message field will also describe
the fault. That information may be sufficient to identify and correct
the problem. If so, make the repair, then return to the Operation
view, and press the white knob on the cycle pushbutton to resume
running from where you stopped.
2. If, however, you need more information before making repairs,
touch the flashing area on the Diagnostic1 view. The related
Diagnostic/Fault view will immediately appear.
3. Read the information about the fault. It will explain the following
information:
a. LABEL: Name of the Diagnostic/Fault view.
b. FAULT: Describes the signal that was not received.
c. POSSIBLE CAUSES: Lists possible causes for this interruption.
d. NORMAL CYCLE: Identifies the input and output devices in
volved, and how they are supposed to interact.
e. FAULT CYCLE: Identification of PLC input signals needed.
f. SWITCH STATUS: Graphic display of realtime ON/OFF status
of the related PLC terminals.
4. Based on information in the POSSIBLE CAUSES list, make repairs
until a normal cycle is restored.
5. Resume operation: Touch the icon for the Operation view, then re
start operation as you would at the start of the day.

162
NL FLEXLinker (Ultra5000)

34188B2E10

Other automatic warnings


The readytorun light in the white knob of the cycle pushbutton will
flash when the machine is ready to start. If the machine is not ready,
the light will not be illuminated, and the message field of the Operation
view on the touch screen will identify the first requirement that has not
been satisfied. If there are additional unsatisfied requirements, each
will display in turn in the order shown below. The machine will not run
until all these requirements are satisfied.
1. Hopper must be lowered.
2. Linker guard must be closed.
3. Casing break detecter must be not tripped.
4. Follower must be retracted.
5. Stuffing tube must be retracted.
The Preventive Maintenance icon will flash when it is time for preventa
tive maintenance. Touch the flashing icon to manually jump to the Pre
ventive Maintenance view in order to reset this recordkeeping feature
after you have performed the recommended service. This warning will
not automatically stop the machine.

The Management Information icon will flash when that system has de
tected an unstable condition in the production results. This presumes
that production weights are being entered into the touch screen, and
the data are exhibiting results that are not consistent with previous per
formance, based on standard deviation calculations. This can be an
early warning to catch changes in the performance before sausage
product is wasted. This warning will not automatically stop the ma
chine.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Table of problems, causes and solutions:
The following pages describe problems that the automatic diagnostic
features of the NL FLEXLinker may not be able to monitor, such as the

17. The product corkscrews (individual links twist) after cook
ing:
a. Stuffing tube is too
small.

This affects the flow pattern of the emulsion into the


casing and link, causing defective internal structure of
the link.

b. Follower pressure is
too low.

This affects the way the casing unshirrs, thus affecting


the flow of the emulsion into the casing.

c. Faulty preparation of
meat emulsion.

Excessive connective tissue in the emulsion collagen


must be effectively chopped during preparation of the
emulsion. Emulsion recipes with higher connective tis
sue content may intensify this problem.

18. Loops twist into figure 8" shape:


a. Excessive twist be
tween links.

Excessive twist becomes an increasing factor as loop


length or links/loop increase.

b. Extremely long loops.

The opportunity to rotate increases as the loop be


comes longer.

c. Large number of links


per loop.

Each twisted joint delivers small force to rotate the loop.
