Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Ammertool ply separator. The Ammertool ply separator is
designed for multiply PVC PUR, PE and Si process and conveyor belting up to a
maximum depth of 105 mm, in preparation for a finger-overlap-finger splice or a
stepped splice.
Please read the Instruction manual first. Do not use the ply separator unless you are
familiar with the instructions. For any question please contact Ammeraal Beltech
Manufacturing. Pay special attention to the Notices (suggestions and / or advice) and
Cautions (warnings of risk, hazard of injury when the correct procedure is not
followed).

Important
CAUTION When you are adjusting the knives make sure that the electricity is switched off
Ensure that your hands are adequately protected and shielded from the blades
1. Always have qualified and trained operators work with the Maestro equipment
2. First check if the local power supply is the same as the machine.
3. Build up the equipment part by part (Health & safety rules, max. 22.5 kg
weight/part)
4. For use of the equipment and settings follow the instructions in this manual.

Adjustments
Knife depth
At delivery the knife is adjusted to the correct depth. Only when the knife has
been disassembled or when the bolts have been released, the following procedure
has to be followed.
Place the adjusting jig on the guide table, round the hand protection bar and
against the upper guide roller. Bring the upper guide roller towards the lower guide
roller by turning the adjusting knob on top of the separator in such a way that
the space between the rollers is 4 mm
Insert the splitting knife in such a way that the knife point just touches the jig
(keep it close to the upper guide roller), see fig. 1.
Adjusting is done by turning the adjustment screws with the socket wrench against
the knife. To do this, release the set screws on top of the knife slightly with the
socket wrench. The cutting depth must be equal over the complete width of the
knife.
Fix the knife by tightening the set screws on top with the socket wrench.
1. Check with the jig that the knife has not been displaced

Splitting Depth
By releasing the swing-bolt of the guide table, this table can be moved until the
required splitting depth is reached.

Working method
Ply separator
When the various adjustments are completed, put the electric switch in
position 1. Start the motor with the foot switch and split the belt to the
required depth.
Some belt types cannot be split in one operation, split these types several
times until the required depth is reached.
If the belt gets stuck while splitting, it can be taken back. To do this, the
running direction of the separator must be reversed by switching the electric
switch to position 2. By operating the foot switch, the separator turns in
the opposite direction, and therefore the belt will
run back from the splitting knife.
Skiving set
Place the belt end against the edge of the guide table. Start the motor with
the foot switch and insert the belt end to be skived into the machine
Skive the other belt end upside down. Check position of guide table (see
table). If the belt is slipping, adjust the knife to 71.0 mm to get a better grip
(see fig. 2).
It is advisable to test a spare piece of belt before skiving the belt ends.
Depending on the result some adjustments can be made. Check that the knife
does not touch a roller!
If the test piece is not pulled completely and smoothly through the skiving knife
an extra piece (approx. 50 mm) of the same belt type should be joined to
the side of the belt (using an adhesive tape on the underside) to effectively
make the belt wider.
Skive the belt end and extra piece, and then remove the extra piece.

Process and conveyor belting
Keep the slitting unit and all other parts clean an free from dust
The splitting knife must be inspected for sharpness regularly and, if necessary, it
should be sharpened or replaced. For sharpening see fig. 4 for normal knives and
fig. 5 for skiving knives. We recommend users to keep a spare splitting knife in
stock.
Important
After replacement or sharpening of the knife, it has to be adjusted again
