Remove the screws with the odd nominal diameter.

An insufficient quantity of screws are in the scooping chamber.

Add a proper quantity of screws into the scooping chamber.

Screws in an abnormal position in the passing plate can not be swept away with the brush.

Adjust the brush.

Adjust the passing plate.

If a proper amount of screws are loaded inteo the scooping chamber, the status may be improved.

Use the optional brush (stiffer bristles).

The axis of the screw thread entered the passing plate.

Remove the abnormal screw.

Check and adjust the passing plate.

A screw has stopped in an abnormal position while moving along the rail.

Remove the screw in the abnormal position. Take care not to damage the rail groove.

Move the holding plate assembly upward to remove the screw. Re-adjust the position of the holding plate.

Screws with a shorter total length than the rail groove with were loaded.

No corrective measure is available.

Consult our service section.

The flow on the screw rail is improper.

The clearance between the holding plate and the head of the loaded screw is too low.

Adjust the holding plate.
