For connecting the steam, a steam duct is required, which is according to the dimension of the
machines connections. The steam connection has to be capable of being shut off. It is best to
generate saturated steam at a constant pressure.
Notice:
CAUTION
6.2.3
For connecting the condensate, a condensate duct is required, which is according to the dimension of
the machines connections. The condensate must be led into a pressure-free line system. The
condensate connection must be capable of being shut off!
CAUTION
The difference between the steam pressure level and the condensate pressure
level has to be at least 3 bar. Otherwise the proper heating of the pressing plates
is not guaranteed danger of water outlet at the pressing plates.

For connecting the compressed air, you need a pneumatic line, which is as per the dimension of the
machines connections. The compressed air must be available at 6 bar and should be oil free and dry.
The pneumatic line must be capable of being shut off!

Maintenance / Service
S afety notic es regarding maintenanc e and s ervic e
DANG E R
Please do not in any event disregard the safety notices
you are given in Section 4.4 Basic instructions on safety,
starting on page 13.
Furthermore, the safety notices given in the documentation
should be applied.
DANG E R
Danger to persons due to electric shock
Explanation:
The machine works at voltages of 400 V which is accompanied
by correspondingly high currents. Because of the deadly
currents of 250 mA and higher, it is necessary to take
appropriate precautionary measures.
Measures to avoid danger:
Maintenance and repair work should only be performed by
technical experts or staff informed of the maintenance
instructions.
Measures to avoid danger:
Maintenance work should only be carried out at an electrically
disconnected machine.
Switch off all electricity sources and disconnect the main switch
from the mains.
Measures to avoid danger:
Ensure that the main switch and electricity sources cannot
(unintentionally) be switched on again by third parties during
maintenance work.
Measures to avoid danger:
Wear insulating, protective footwear with thick crepe soles
during maintenance work.
W AR NING
Maintenance, cleaning as well as repair work should only
be performed by technical experts or persons being
instructed of these operations (See Section 2.3 Qualified
personnel, page 7)
An operating person must be instructed by an expert and may
then independently carry out maintenance work at the machine
(trained service personnel)
Daily cleansing work is made by the instructed operating
personnel.
Page 26 of 42
W AR NING
Hot surfaces: Only work at the machine after its coolingdown.
W AR NING
Compressed air or unintentional flows
Adjust the main compressed-air control pressure to 0 bars.
Release all the pressure from the unit.
Remove the air inlet tube for the compressed air supply
W AR NING
Improper/premature release of the unit
Do not release the machine without having checked the safety
devices after completion of work. Defective safety appliances
have to be repaired or replaced.
Not until then work is accomplished!
C AUT ION
Only use original spare parts.
Be aware of all operating instructions of the purchased parts
Renew self-locking screws and nuts timely.
Page 27 of 42
7.2
C leans ing
The entire machine, particularly the storage facilities, transport routes and air filters must be cleaned
regularly.
Clean and dry the machine exclusively with a cloth. Do not use aggressive cleansing agents!
Possible property damage
In
CAUTION
This endangers the cleansing agent and dirt getting into bearings.
Use a hair broom if cleaning done with a humid cloth is insufficient.
7.3
P neumatic parts
All pneumatic parts, used in INDUPRESS machines are made for non-lubricated air supply. All of the
parts are equipped with a permanent provision for self-lubrication, which guarantees a maintenance
free, long lifetime.
Notice
Please ensure that the air supply to the INDUPRESS machines is free of oil and
water!
If there is a need for air lubrication for some existing machines (e.g. for older machines with a pure
pneumatic control), there exists a possibility to set up the air lubrication system at the individual
machine. However the compressed air system should be kept free of oil.
At the compressed air supply of the machine you can find a maintenance unit, designed to separate
the condensate which might arise.
During continual operation, condensate is regularly generated in the compressed air unit. The water
can cause corrosion inside the machine if not drained timely from the maintenance unit.
The interval of the drainage depends on the quality of your compressed air supply. Check at first
everyday the level condensate. After this, set an interval for drainage as per the expected condensate
quantity.
Press the drain button at the maintenance unit to drain the condensate.
Material damage:
At longer intervals the gauge glass may overflow and water may get into the
CAUTION
Page 28 of 42
Notice:
If there appears a need for draining the condensate from your INDUPRESS
machines pneumatic system everyday, a defective or missing cool-dryer in your
compressed air supply unit could be a possible reason for that.
The fine-mesh filter removes unwanted particles from the compressed air and has to be checked on a
regular basis and, depending on its the level of dirtiness, it should be cleaned timely.
Ensure that the pneumatic system (cylinders, valves and pipes) is fully leak proof. Leakages must be
mended at once. Leakages may cause continuous losses which may damage the systems and result
in unnecessary costs.
7.4
7.4.1
Bearing units, linear guiding rails and shafts have to be checked and, if necessary, lubricated on a
regular basis. Details on this can be found in the maintenance protocol. Most of the assembled,
mechanical parts and drives have almost maintenance-free industrial bearing units.
Existing linear guides have to be lubricated on a regular basis.
Disposal
Grease, oil and oil-polluted cloths are hazardous waste and need to be disposed
off separately from other wastes!
7.5
Safeguarding devices and safety switches as well as all electrical parts and component parts are to be
checked for their functional order on regular intervals. For more details please refer to the
maintenance protocol.
7.6
Due to mineral deposits occurring by lacking or insufficient water purification or chemical additives
(wrong dosage), the steam nozzles/steam valves may become polluted and get clogged. Therefore
regular checks and cleaning are necessary of these steam nozzles/valves.
Regularly check the steam valves for their leak proof closure, otherwise there may be water getting in
the machine due to uncontrolled escape of steam.
The steam traps must be checked on a regular basis and, as and when necessary, the lint filters
should be cleaned. If the condensate extraction is not working properly, it may cause one hand, too
much steam being used or on other hand, too much water remaining in the system. The system may
fill up with water.
Further details on this are given in the maintenance protocol, (please see in the Operating Instruction
Part II "machine - machine part" maintenance protocol - of the respective INDUPRESS machine).

Keep the below mentioned maintenance cycles for an unchanging, good pressing quality:
1 x per week visible check for damage, e.g. impressions, cracks, crinkles and worn spots on
the surface (perforations)
1 x per week visible check for stained surface
We recommend a complete change of the covering material after three month but not later than
6 month
When this is not complied with, a good pressing quality is not guaranteed
W AR NING
Hot surfaces: Danger of burns at pressing shapes!
The pressing shapes may have a surface temperature of
approx. 150C.
It is strongly recommended to use original INDUPRESS covering materials only. The quality and the
right material as well as the appropriate order of layers and the correct fit are main factors to obtain a
perfect pressing result. However this cannot be guaranteed if any random covering material is used in

negative effect on the pressing result or the covering material of the machine.
Covering materials can be cleaned from adhesives like follows:
