DROPPER SCREEN
If You Did Not Purchase an Automatic Dropper,
Keep This Function In The ‘OFF’ Position And Disregard This Screen.
OVERVIEW OF DROPPER OPERATION:
1. Adjust Dropper Side Guide Plates for width of the product. Allow 1/8 to ¼ inch clearance
on each side for best operational results.
2. Adjust Dropper Back Stop Plate to length of product. Back stop plate is factory preset to
vibrate back and forth with each product fed. This helps to absorb energy from the
product and the vibration helps to square up the stack. Ensure back stop plate in the full
back position is inside the side guides of the conveyor below, otherwise product might
land on the side guide when dropped causing a jam. Back stop plate also holds the full
extend sensor. Dropper forks will extend until this sensor is blocked then they will stop.
3. Position dropper over the side guides of the lugged infeed, and verify the fixed, non-
adjustable dropper plate below the feeder discharge is inside of the side guide below,
otherwise product might land on the side guide when dropped causing a jam. Dropper
will need to be adjusted in and out when conveyor side guides are adjusted in and out.
