Start Up Machine Settings: The document provides initial machine settings for PROPINK® Loosefill
Insulation. Adjustments should be made based on the 'How do I get coverage' section to meet label requirements. Using a 3” hose for the last 50 feet can improve wool conditioning and coverage control.
Static Management: To manage static, add water or a 50:50 glycol-water mixture sparingly. For severe static conditions, add 4 ounces of the mixture directly to the wool at the hopper's bottom to coat the hose and reduce static.
Machine Settings: The document lists settings for various machines, including RPM, air pressure, gear setting, gate opening, arc length, hose diameter, and corrugated hose length. These settings vary by machine model.
Coverage Control: Coverage is defined as 'square feet per bag' and is influenced by the product feed rate to air flow ratio, hose condition, and application technique. High feed rates with low air flow reduce coverage, while low feed rates with high air flow increase it.
Product Feed Rate Control: Factors affecting feed rate include machine speed, gate opening, hopper wool level, and gear shift setting. Faster machine speeds and more open gates increase product flow.
Air Flow Adjustment: Air flow in the hose can be adjusted by machine speed, weights on the relief valve, and the bypass valve. Proper air adjustment should achieve a material throw of 10-12 feet from the hose end.
Hose Condition Importance: A well-maintained hose helps open product nodules and improves coverage. Worn hoses reduce turbulence and coverage due to air loss through holes.
