 BABYWORKS QUICK STARUP INSTRUCTIONS

PS- These instructions in no way hold STS responsible if you decide to

start up the unit yourselves. This machine requires the services of one of
STS experienced technicians. Since this machine was fully tested at the
factory, we do not take responsibility for damages to the following items:

1. If the motors rotations were reversed.

2. Not having adequate air to the babyworks.
3. Not having dry air to the ozone unit (we will test unit for water if it
get damaged).
4. Hooking up the wrong voltage.
5. Not having adequate amperage (at least 80amp breaker)
1) Make sure al of the services are properly connected.
a) The main power is been check for the proper voltage. (380, 440, 220, etc.)
b) The DRY compress air is at least 15-SCFM and it is connected on the zone system (if
applies), and to the BW-system.
c) The feed water for thanks is connected and the final rinse with at least 45-55 psig
d) The fill product line is connected on the upper part of the BW.
e) Make sure you have caps and bottles ready to run the system.
2) Turn the ozone system on, and the feed pump to contact tank. Make sure the tank fills up, and that
the water re-circulates back to the storage tank. At this point the fill pump should be ready and can be
turned on. The fill pump should be re-circulating water back to the ozone contact tank when it’s not
filling bottles. Adjust the concentration of ozone to at about 65-70% on the dial, and test the ozone
concentration after 5 to 10 min(should be about .2-.4ppm). Make sure it re-circulate properly. Make
the final adjustments as needed.

3) Turn the BW on, and check rotation on motors and pumps, after this is properly checked, then press
the “reset” ,at this. At this point the unit should run if the air and water are up to proper level and
pressure (the wash tank and the incoming air pressure gauge has input signals to the PLC if it did not
reach the required levels.

4) Adjust the fill time by going down on the menu to fill times, fill time 1, and adjust it properly.
If the flow and pressure are as per specs, you should fill your bottles in at least 6.5 secs. (5 gal.)

2.10 Installation
2.20 Service Connections

2.21 DRAINS

The ideal connection for the drain of the BW series machine would be a floor drain along
the backside of the Babyworks. All the drain connections are plumbed into one main line
for easy installation. (See fig. 001)

List of drain points on BW series machines.

(Fig. 001)

Each tank has a 2” overflow that is already plumbed into the other drain lines.

Each tank has a 1¼ ” bottom drain with an isolation valve for the purpose of draining the
solution tanks routinely.
(See fig. 001)
2.22 COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTIONS

The system requires a 3/8" NPT air fitting located at the back (side) of the BW . (See fig
002)

This connection is the only one required for the total machine.

CLEAN AND DRY compressed air is required and will be 100 PSI at a flow of around
15CFM.

Fig. 002

This volume and pressure must be made available at all times, if the compressor is
undersized, operation problems may occur.
2.23ELECTRICAL

Depending upon your voltage requirements, the electrical inlet of the entire system for
everything, (including the heater) will be at the top left hand side of the electrical panel.
(See fig.003)

The connection for any three-phase system will be marked L1, L2, and L3. The proper
size ground should be made available.

Fig. 003

The ground wire should be at least the same size as the power wires.

Different voltage configurations may be on some machines. Please check the information
on page 2 for your machines electrical requirements and see the attached electrical
drawing.

It may be necessary to supply a neutral leg along with the three phase power to give
220VAC single phase OR 440VAC single phase.

If the system is supplied at 380/440VAC three phase then a separate transformer will be
attached to the system and mounted on the roof.

Please observe local code requirements for feed electrical supplies.

A qualified electrician must make the necessary connections to the machine.

2.24 Water supply to wash and sanitize rinse tanks and also to final rinse section

Fig. 004
A ¾ ” feed line is made available on the back side of the machine. (See fig. 004)

There is a single connection for the final rinse water and also a single connection for the
wash and sanitize tanks.

Fill the solution tanks at the beginning of the workday or when needed.

It is therefore important to check local codes to decide what type of water to use as final
rinse water.

It should give at least 12 to 15 GPM of water, at a pressure of around 30 to 40 psi.

This water connection serves several purposes:

It automatically fills the wash and the sanitize rinse tanks with water.

It also is a supply line for the final rinse jets in the washer.
2.25 Product Water For Filling Bottles

The Babyworks™ Series Washer Filler Cappers are designed to fill, using a high volume/
low-pressure pump system.
The size of the connection for the product water is 1 ½ ”.
The standard connection would be is NPT male type connection.

This service connection is located on the top of the filler as seen in this picture.
The following will be a chart of different model numbers, relative volume and pressure
requirements: (Based on 5 US Gallons)

Model # Volume req. at fill head Press. Req. at fill head

BW 200 30 GPM 10-15 PSI
BW 300 50 GPM 10-15 PSI
A high volume / low-pressure pump must be provided and the pressure kept constant.
If the pressure to the fill heads is not kept constant, you will have problems with fill
levels.
This can be achieved by using a pressure relief valve.
2.30Before you turn the
system on!
BEFORE…… Cont’d
Are all of the services mentioned in 2.20 and above correctly installed?

Have all the three phase electrical motors been tested for ROTATION?
IMPORTANT!
STS is not responsible for motors that are incorrectly tested prior to operation.

2. Ensure adequate air pressure and volume to machine.

3. All drains are in place.

4. Instruct the operator as to importance of care and consideration when working with
moving automatic machinery.

Please see section 2.40 Safety considerations.

5. YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SECTION 3.10 “OPERATION”

FOLLLOWING THIS SECTION AND HAVE PAID CAREFUL ATTENTION TO THE
PLC INTERFACE SECTION (3.29), WHICH DESCRIBES THE OPERATION OF THE
MACHINE.

6. If the machine comes in separate pieces then the separate pieces should be placed
together by aligning them with each other and observing the marks on the sides of the
machine that show proper alignment.

There are four bolts on the autoloader end.

MAKE SURE THESE SEPARATE PIECES ARE PERFECTLY ALIGNED

Do this by aligning the bolts and checking the alignment marks on legs underneath
louvered panels.

Connect all the wires together by matching numbered wires.

 Connect the airlines together by matching
numbered airlines.

2.40
SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS!
This system is a fully automatic machine that uses a microprocessor to start and stop
moving conveyors, valves, air cylinders etc.

The washer has a moving conveyor, which accepts empty bottles.

Keep all hands, hair, loose clothing or anything that may get stuck in the mechanism
away from this area.

• There are emergency stop buttons located at various places on the machine, which
can be used whenever there is a possibility of a
problem. (See Fig 005)

As with any automatic system it is important to instruct the

operator of the machine as to the consequences of any
unreasonable behavior.

Make sure that all personnel are clear of machine and all
doors are closed before resetting system.
Fig 005

The system will not be reset able whilst doors are open.

Observe all DANGER signs that are located on the machine.

Never run the machine without guards in place and be watchful of moving machinery
parts at all times.
Emergency stop buttons are the “twist to reset “ type. If an emergency stop button is
depressed and/or a door is open that is protected by a safety switch, then the machine is
inoperable. At this time the “EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ” will be illuminated.

Before resetting the system after an Emergency stop has been reset or a door closed,
YOU MUST REMOVE ANY BOTTLES THAT ARE IN THE FILL AREA.
3.10 Operation
3.20 Overall description,
position of carriage and
cycle times
THE BABYWORKS SERIES WASHER FILLER CAPPER, operates as per the
following:

A continuous stainless steel chain runs through the entire washing section of the machine,
the bottles are loaded 1 at a time, onto the load section.

They travel through the various sections of the machine stopping intermittently at each
station.

The amount of time that the bottle stops at each station is defined by the “cycle time”
described in section 3.29

Each station cycle time is as follows:

BW200 BW300

Wash cycle time 15 seconds 12.5 seconds

Heated Wash 60 seconds 62.5 seconds

Sanitize Rinse 15 seconds 25 seconds

Final Rinse 14 seconds 24 seconds

Bottles per hour 200 300

At each section, heated detergent wash, sanitize and final rinse, the bottles will stop and
be sprayed from above and also inside.

The amount of time that it takes to move between these sections is determined by the
speed of the wash conveyor.

The wash conveyor speed is regulated by means of a VFD (variable frequency drive)
inside the electrical panel labeled “washer”.

This speed is set at the factory.

IF ADJUSTMENTS TO WASHER CONVEYOR SPEED ARE MADE WITHOUT

OBSERVING THE FOLLOWING STEPS, THEN THE BOTTLES WILL NOT STOP
OVER THE SPRAY NOZZLES AND WILL EXIT THE WASHER INCORRECTLY
causing bottle jams and poor washing.

Fig. 007
There is a limit switch located in the washer (see fig 007) section, which monitors the tab
on the cone holder assembly. This switch is wired into the PLC and triggers the wash
cycles based upon the time set on the touch screen (cycle time). When the switch senses
the position of the cone holder the conveyor should stop. If the speed is increased by
means of the VFD, this difference in time between the sensing of the cone holder tab and
the position of the carriage MUST BE COMPENSATED FOR.
NOTE: If this limit switch for some reason goes bad or does not make properly, then the
wash conveyor will continue to move. See “troubleshooting” section 4.20

OPTIONAL : If your machine came with the optional auto loader then please read
the following
3.21
AUTOLOAD SECTION

1) Pressing the Auto-Load touch button on the Main Screen enables the Autoloader.

2) Auto-Load (A/L) conveyor starts only if the following is true:

-Wash is not paused
-Autoloader lift is down
-Autoloader clamp open
-E-stop not pressed
 3) A/L Conveyor runs and moves empty bottle pass the bottle sensor:
-0.5 sec. later the bottle is past the sensor and the Feed Stop extends allowing only
one bottle to move into the A/L clamp.

4) The Feed Stop extended starts the Jaw Close Delay timer, which is set in the
System Setup menu of the touch-screen.
-As the Jaw Close Delay expires the lead bottle should be placed into the A/L
clamp and the clamp will begin to close.

5) The A/L arm will raise and A/L conveyor pause if:
-The A/L clamp is closed
-The wash conveyor has just moved into position to except a bottle
-The wash conveyor motor is not active

6) The A/L clamp will open if

-The A/L lift up sensor is made

7) The A/L arm is lowered 2-sec. after releasing the bottle. The wash conveyor will
not index until the A/L arm returns to its bottom position.

8) The A/L Feed Stop is released immediately after the A/L lift down sensor is
made.

9) The cycle is repeated with the next bottle.

If the E-stop or A/L touch button is pressed during an auto-load process all outputs
are turn off to the A/L system.

3.22 Heated wash section.

The BW system is built with a heated wash section.

This section contains a circulated wash solution that is heated by the wash heater.
Standard systems are supplied with an electric heater that is thermostat controlled inside
the electrical box located down on the side of the wash tank. See fig. 009
(Fig. 009)
The wash solution should be added to the wash tank accessible via the wash section area
capture screen.

Also the wash section has water pressure adjustment underneath accessible through the
panels.

The jets should be adjusted to give maximum coverage on bottle surfaces.

BRUSHING

The wash section may contain a patented brushing mechanism inside that when switched
on spins the bottles and cleans the majority of the surface outside of the round bottles.

If you use square bottles you must remove these brushes before use, as they will not
allow 6 gallon or 3 gallon square bottles to pass through.

The bottle is lifted out of the cone to stop scratching on the outside and is not allowed to
exit the cone as it rises because of the guard positioned above.

Please adjust this guard to allow the bottles to rise out of the cones but not allow them to
fall out completely.
3 .23
Sanitize section

This section is similar to the wash section in that it has a pump for re-circulation of the
solution as well as the pressure adjustment valves

Standard systems come with a sanitizer injection system built in to constantly inject a
sanitizing agent into this tank. (shown in fig. 012)

Fig 012

This sanitize injection pump should be adjusted by turning the dial located on the pump
up or down depending on whether more or less sanitizer is required in the sanitizer tank.

Other options are a Super-sani system that utilizes the use of Ozone. To control the ozone
there is a ball by-pass system that is to control the venturi suction for more or less ozone.
(See figure 015)

Fig 015
All sections Pre Wash, wash, and sanitize sections have strainers located above the
storage tanks to collect any foreign debris and four bolt man-ways for easy access.

3.24
Final Rinse

The final rinse section should use water that meets local codes to remove any sanitizer
solutions that may be left from the sanitize section.

This water is generally thrown to drain immediately after use.

3.25
T-Bar / Turner over (Exit Washer)

At this point the bottles are extracted from the cone by means of the bumper (see fig.
016) controlled by the speed of the T-Bar cylinder (see fig. 017) with airflow controls. All
cylinders can be fine tuned by the airflow controls attached to each cylinder.

(fig. 016) (fig. 017)

3.26 Filler

The filler section is a separate function than the washer in that it will not proceed to move
unless a bottle enables the limit switch located by the cradle cylinder. See fig. 023

FIG 023

Once the switch is made the cradle will rise and place the bottle on the filler conveyor.
The fill assembly/ nozzle will descend into the bottle.

NOTE: some systems do not have a descending filler head. In this case it would be
that the fill valve would open.

3.27 Capping system

The Babyworks system when ordered with a capping system can either come with a
manual or automatic feeder to the cap chute.

If your system comes with a manual feeder the operator must place caps in to the chute
every three to four bottles because the chute will only hold between 12 to 15 caps
depending on the model Babyworks. See fig. 026
(Fig. 026)

If your system comes with a cap chute feeder then place caps in the bowl feeder on top of
the Babyworks. See fig. 027 to turn the capping system on access the system set up menu
and press “on” under the “Sorter”.

(Fig. 027)

achieve the correct temperature prior to using the machine.

3.50 Change Over.

PROCEDURE TO CHANGE OVER TO ANOTHER SIZE BOTTLE

Optional

The Babyworks series WASHER/FILLER/CAPPER is designed for 3 gallon round and 5

gallon round bottles.

To do the change over you will need the following tools:

1. 7/16 wrench
2. Crescent wrench
3. 3/16 Allen Wrench
Filler Change Over

Place the appropriate bottle under the filler nozzle. Turn the air to the machine off.
Unscrew the bolts attaching the filler up/down cylinder by using the 7/16 wrench in a
counterclockwise fashion. Unscrew the bolts just enough to move the filler mechanism
down until the nozzle sits in the bottle. Tighten down the two bolts for the filler
mechanism by turning the wrench in a clockwise manner until snug. The process is now
complete.

Capper Change Over

The Babyworks bottling machine comes with an extension that needs to be put on the
capping cylinder. Unscrew the stamping end off the capping cylinder by turning
counterclockwise with the crescent wrench until it is completely removed. Replace with
the extension provided with your machine by turning it clockwise until snug. The
process is now complete.

Cap Chute Adjustment

If you have a manual feeder then you need to use the following instructions:

To adjust the cap chute you will need a bottle to place under the cap chute. Take the
3/16 Allen wrench and loosen the clamps attached to the cap chute rods. Once loosen
adjust height until cap is about a ¼ inch to ½ inch down on the bottle. Tighten the clamps
until snug. Replace the spring with the longer one provided by STS/UAT. The process is
now complete. BW systems have optional change over to three and six gallon round and
square bottles.

If you have an automatic feeder then you need to use the following instructions:

To adjust the cap chute you will need a bottle to place under the cap chute. Take the
7/16 wrench and loosen the clamps attached to the cap chute. Once loosen adjust height
until cap is about a ¼ inch to ½ inch down on the bottle. Tighten the clamps until snug..
The process is now complete. BW systems have optional change over to three and six
gallon round and square bottles.

The brushes should not be used if using an irregular or square shaped

bottle.
