INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
The OLIVER Model 1908 Lidder has been designed and manufactured to provide a high quality machine that is a cost effective approach to producing film lidded trays. The machine can be operated with a 120 V.A.C. outlet. The Model 1908 is an automated system capable of producing a high volume, but it is easy to operate and requires minimal space.
The machine consists of a conveyor system that transports the filled trays, a film feed system, a heated platen and a film cutter unit. These are all packaged together in a stainless steel framework that also houses all the necessary controls. The conveyor is intermittent motion and is capable of running speeds of 5 to 35 packages per minute. The system also includes an air compressor that is a separate unit that can be located remotely.
INSPECTING
MODEL 1908
Upon receipt of Machine, inspect the exterior for damage. If damage is noted, Indicate damage on the Freight Bill and immediately contact the freight Carrier and notify them of the damage. Have a freight claim filed. This must be done at the
Recipient’s location and not at the Shipper’s Location.
Remove the tie-downs that hold the Trays from moving. Cut bands that hold the 1908 Machine and the Air Compressor on the skid. Lift the Air Compressor and then the Machine off the skid in a safe manner.
SAFETY
Various safety devices and methods of guarding have been provided on this machine. Do not operate the machine with guards removed and do not tamper with safety devices. It is essential that machine operators and maintenance personnel observe the following safety precautions. Improper installation or operation of this equipment may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
• Before operating the OLIVER Model 1908 Lidder read through this manual. Never allow an untrained person to operate this machine
WARNING
• WARNING PINCH POINT: Keep hands out of machine. Always be sure the machine has been unplugged from power before cleaning or servicing.
• CAUTION HOT: The heater cover and upper platen are very HOT! Caution must be used to protect yourself and others.
• In addition to these general safety instructions, follow the specific instructions given throughout this manual.
MACHINE PLACEMENT AND UTILITIES
MODEL 1908
Decide on a suitable location for the machine. This location should have ample room to work around all sides of the machine. Once the machine is in the location where it will be used, the brakes on the casters should be locked by stepping down on the brake locking lever. To unlock, lift the lever with your foot. Do not attempt to move machine with casters in locked position.
LOCKING LEVER
The machine operates on 120 V.A.C., 60 Hz, 15 Amp electrical power. It is recommended that this power be supplied by an overhead drop to prevent the cord from becoming a trip hazard.
The machine needs to be connected to compressed air. This is accomplished by connecting the machine to the air compressor supplied with the machine. This connection should be made using an overhead drop.
Air Compressor
Decide on a suitable location for the air compressor. It is best to locate it out of the way and preferably where the noise will not be a factor. The air compressor operates on 120 V.A.C., 60 Hz, 15 Amp electrical power. The air compressor is supplied with a 70 ft. length of 3/8” ID air hose that needs to be connected between the air compressor and the Model 1908. This air hose has quick-disconnect fittings at both ends for easy connection and disconnection. Pull the collar back on the female portion of the quick­disconnect fitting and then push the female portion onto the male portion and release your hand. Pull on the hose to make sure the connection is secure.

Air Compressor Continued
The air compressor has been factory set. If for some reason the settings are not correct, the following procedure should be followed to set the output pressure from the compressor.
The gage shown below should be set at 80 PSI. This is accomplished by turning the knob on the regulator clockwise to increase pressure or counter clockwise to decrease pressure. It is recommended that the air compressor be left with the switch in the “AUTO” position. The compressor will only run when there is a demand for air when it is set in the “AUTO” position. Leaving the switch in this position assures that the
compressor will be ready when it is needed.

START-UP
To turn the machine on, plug in the power cord. Wait 30 minutes to allow the heated platen to reach operating temperature. At this time, turn on the air compressor so it can fill the storage tank with compressed air.
The machine has been shipped from the factory with the speed set at approximately 7 to 10 trays per minute. This speed has been chosen as a good place to start. Depending on your production rates, you may need to speed up or slow down the tray sealer. This adjustment is explained in the “Machine Operation” section of the manual. First, run the machine without trays and film to make sure everything is cycling properly.
NOTE
• Never run the machine with trays and no film. Doing so can possibly cause a jam because the trays can stick to the heated platen and be pulled out of the tray carriers.
Load the film on the film stand as shown on the film-threading diagram located on the side of the machine and also shown in the diagram below.
NOTE
1. The adhesive side of the film can be determined by pinching a fold and rubbing the lid material against itself. Test both sides of the lid. The rough or tacky side of the lid will be the adhesive side. The film supplied by Oliver Products Company is wound with the adhesive side toward the inside of the roll. If the film is loaded in accordance with the “FILM FEED” diagram it will be positioned properly for applying the adhesive side of the film to the flange of the tray. If the film is loaded improperly, it can cause the adhesive side to come in contact with the heated platen and the film to stick to the heated platen. If this happens, the platen will need to be cleaned.
2. To thread the film through the machine, pull enough film off the roll so that you can insert it into the slot between the tray carrier that is partially under the film stand and the carrier that is upstream from that. After the film is hanging down underneath the tray carrier, reach through the tray carrier and pull the film down so that it touches the tray carriers underneath that are returning to come back up on top. Then insert a tray into the tray carrier next to the film and cycle the machine one time by pulling up on the “Black Palm Button” until the conveyor moves one index, then push the palm button down to stop the machine. This should seal the film to that tray and you can now fill the rest of the conveyor with filled trays and begin running.
Note: Film dancer bar must move freely up and down.
