United Silicone Preventa ve Maintenance (PM) visits are designed to preserve and enhance equipment reliability by monitoring and replacing worn components before they actually fail. The intent is to save you future service costs by inspec ng and maintaining your equipment, not simply by applying fixes. PM visits take me and commitment, but the benefits are cleaner, longer running equipment with reduced down me. During every PM visit our service team will make maintenance recommenda ons and pro‐vide you with a complete opera on report. We will record equipment deteriora on so you know to re‐place or repair worn parts before they cause system failure and cost you more in service.
When considering the comparable costs of a PM program to standard billable service, one should com‐pare not only the costs but the long‐term benefits and savings associated with a complete preventa ve maintenance program. Without preventa ve maintenance, for example, costs for lost produc on me from unscheduled equipment down me may be incurred. Also, rou ne preventa ve maintenance visits will result in savings due to an increase of effec ve system service life.
Equipment Maintenance Training Programs are taught by our highly skilled service staff either on‐site or at our manufacturing facility depending on the availability of equipment. Our staff will thoroughly edu‐cate your maintenance team on all facets of electrical and mechanical components of the equipment you use now or will use in the future. Maintenance training programs are a great way to save money and me when it comes to servicing your facility’s stamping opera on.
United Silicone Remote Diagnos cs save you on service costs by remotely inspec ng equipment before and a er part failure. Remote diagnos cs can reduce equipment down me if problems are found and repaired quickly through camera and phone interac on. In most cases, with a qualified on‐site mainte‐nance person or capable operator, remote technicians can eliminate the need for a service technician visit altogether. In extreme cases, visits may s ll be required a er final diagnosis. If in fact we are re‐quired to make a visit a er the call, our technicians will be prepared with the correct parts before we step foot in your facility.
Pay‐Per‐Call Emergency calls are charged at a flat rate dependent on your proximity to the closest availa‐ble technician. Prices are based on one (1) visit for one (1) stamping line with a maximum of eight on‐site hours. Parts are not included in the pay‐per‐call emergency plan. Pricing is subject to change based upon availability of technician.
Limited Free Phone Support is always available for fast responses to small issues. Wherever possible, our goal is get you up and running with minimal down‐ me.

Tax Stamping Equipment and Your Facility
The key to a smooth installa on and start‐up of any new equipment is to complete the necessary site work and
installa on planning prior to the arrival of the equipment. Some key items to consider are:
Loca on:
• An installa on site that provides sufficient service access (in addi on to any OSHA requirements) is necessary to
be able to adequately maintain any piece of equipment. United Silicone requires that a minimum Service Access
Clearance of 18 inches be maintained around all equipment and 36 inches in front of control panel/enclosure and
machine access doors.
• Any in‐feed or discharge conveyors that are to be integrated with the Meyercord brand tax stamping
equipment should be prepared and in place prior to the installa on date. Conveyor height and excessive product
back‐pressure problems will cause installa on delays and machine malfunc ons. Contact United Silicone Service
for addi onal assistance if required.
• United Silicone recommends that the customer DOES NOT uncrate the machine or any of its components un l
they are near the installa on loca on. Sufficient space to transport the machine from the truck to its installa on
site and space to uncrate is also required.
Electrical:
• A dedicated circuit that matches the voltage and amperage requirements of the equipment, along with a safety
switch of the same capacity outside the equipment must be provided. Some voltages may be well outside of their
stated levels. Please have your actual levels properly checked. If you require a buck‐boost converter,
United Silicone Service technicians can supply one at an addi onal cost. Consult your local electrical codes for
proper cable size and ra ngs.
An overhead drop above the machine’s main electrical enclosure is the best method of supplying electrical
power to your machine. This will minimize safety issues (i.e. tripping hazards or cord damage) while assuring
maximum access to the machine. For machines that are not hard wired into the electrical panel, a female
receptacle matching the male plug on the machine will need to be provided.
See Appendix A: “NEMA Receptacles”
Cau on: Incorrect voltage will cause severe damage to the equipment. For the protec on of the
operator, the equipment must be electrically grounded.
Pneuma c:
• For most tax stamping equipment, a sufficient source of clean, dry compressed air is required for proper
machine opera on. It is recommended that a minimum 1/2 inch ID rigid copper line with shut‐off valve outside of
the machine be plumbed from the compressed air source.
See Appendix B: “Supplying Compressed Air for Your Tax Stamping Equipment” for help on determining the pneuma c
quality & quan ty requirements for your facility.

Appendix B: Supplying Compressed Air for your Tax Stamping Equipment
In addi on to electricity, most of United Silicone tax stamping equipment requires a source of compressed air. The quality
and quan ty of the compressed air supply will affect the reliability of the equipment, the frequency and cost of service calls
and down me, as well as, the ini al and on‐going energy costs of the compressed air equipment you select.
If you are not purchasing your air system directly from United Silicone, please review the following considera ons when
reviewing your air requirements
1) How Much Compressed Air Capacity Do I Need?
The values listed in Air and Electrical Requirements above indicate the volume of compressed air at 90 psi, which is neces‐
sary to be available on a full‐ me and con nual basis while each piece of equipment is opera ng. When calcula ng the total
air requirement for all of your Meyercord brand tax stamping equipment, the first step is to add together these require‐
ments for each piece of stamping equipment you intend to operate simultaneously. A worksheet has been provided below.
Next add in any equipment which you expect you are likely to add within the next 3‐5 years. Most air delivery systems have
significant leaks and losses within them. Even a small leak at a fi ng can result in a large loss of compressed air. For new,
high quality piping systems which have a total line length less than 25 feet, of large diameter, solid copper lines with few
bends and connec ons, we recommend that you add at least 20% margin on top of your computed total air requirements. If
your lines are old, longer, threaded pipe and or contain mul ple quick‐disconnect or other type fi ngs, you should add at
least 30‐40% margin on top of your calculated total air requirements.
For example, if you have a VL‐10 stamp line with a United Silicone Case Packer, no plans to add addi onal equipment and an
air run of threaded pipe 50’ from your compressor to stamping equipment, you should select a compressor which can sup‐
ply at least 1.30 x (4.0 + 5.0) = 11.7 CFM of compressed air at 90 psi. If you are planning to use a reciproca ng air compres‐
sor, it is typical prac ce to size the output of the compressor to be 1.5 to 2.0 mes larger than the amount of air you expect
to consume on an ongoing basis. In this way, the compressor will not need to run con nuously.
Following the example of the VL‐10 Stamp Machine with a United Silicone Case Packer, you would need to specify 17 to 23
CFM of compressed air at 90 psi to allow your compressor to run at a reduced duty cycle. Reciproca ng compressor manu‐
facturers o en recommend that running on a reduced duty cycle will extend the life of your reciproca ng compressor.
(Scroll style compressors, on the other hand, are more commonly run 100% of the me and as a result, it is not necessary to
include this extra factor when selec ng a scroll compressor. S ll, specifying a larger compressor always allows for future
compressed air capability.)
When selec ng an air compressor, it is important to note that the volume of air it can provide, usually stated in SCFM or
CFM depends upon what pressure you are supplying the air at. For the purposes of selec ng a compressor system to drive
your tax stamping equipment , you need only be concerned with how much air the compressor can supply at 90 psi. If a
compressor is specified for an air output at a higher pressure, for example, 19 scfm @ 135 psi, you can es mate the amount
of air this compressor will deliver at 90 psi by mul plying as follows: 19 scfm x (135 psi / 90 psi) = 28 scfm.

4471 Walden Avenue Lancaster, New York 14086 800.639.3799www.ustaxstamp.com
2) Can I use a shared source (“shop air”) of compressed air for the Stamping Equipment?
While some customer facili es already have an available source of compressed air, typically known as “shop air”, United Sili‐
cone strongly recommends against using these sources of compressed air for opera ng our stamping equipment. Typically
“shop air” is shared among mul ple uses within a facility and the available volume of compressed air varies from moment to
moment and day to day. Each me the available air volume on these shared systems drops below the levels required by our
equipment, the stamping equipment will begin to perform irregularly. In addi on, “shop air” is typically intended for low
performance machines such as air‐operated hand‐tools. The air used to operate these lower performance machines typically
has much higher levels of air line contamina on (from grit, water and oil) than can be well tolerated within the precision ma‐
chinery of the tax stamping equipment. The use of contaminated shop air can lead to costly and lengthy stamping equipment
damages and down me. United Silicone recommends dedicated, clean, dry air for use with our equipment.
3) What about moisture, dirt and oil in the compressed air system?
The quality of the air supplied to your stamping equipment is important. The three most common contaminants in com‐
pressed air supplies are water, grit and oil. Water is the most common contaminant. Water typically enters the system as
incoming air is compressed. Air can “hold” less and less humidity as it is compressed. The humidity which is “squeezed out”
of the air as it is compressed condenses within the compressor, tank and air lines. This is par cularly common if the rela ve
humidity of the incoming air is high such as in facili es near lakes, rivers and oceans. In addi on, cold air holds less humidity
than warm air. Air leaving a compressor is typically warm – o en on the order of 150° F or more. If this air is rapidly cooled,
for example, if the air line leaves the compressor and then travels through a cold warehouse or passes between two build‐
ings, moisture can condense out and collect inside the air lines. Compressed air delivery systems need to be designed to re‐
move excess moisture from the air and air lines. This is typically accomplished with a piece of equipment known as a Dryer.
Two types – desiccant dryers and refrigerated dryers are commonly used.
Most air compressors have built in air filters designed to remove dirt and grit from incoming air. Standard industrial grade air
compressor filters typically remove all par cles greater than 1 micron in diameter and are sufficient for use with all tax
stamping equipment.
Some compressed air systems are designed to add lubricant to the compressed air to reduce the wear and improve the per‐
formance of certain types of machinery. Other air delivery systems contain air/oil separators to remove oil from the com‐
pressed air. All tax stamping equipment is designed to operate on clean (no par cles or oil); dry (no water) air.
All United Silicone tax stamping equipment comes standard with their own, integral coalescing filter bowls which are de‐
signed to remove oil, water and dirt which may have passed through the primary systems in the compressed air delivery sys‐
tem, but these systems are intended only to remove occasional contaminants and do NOT eliminate the need for properly
filtered and dried air delivery systems.
13
4471 Walden Avenue Lancaster, New York 14086 800.639.3799www.ustaxstamp.com
4) What compressor and related equipment do I need?
Most compressed air systems include each of the following components:
Compressor & Storage Tank
The primary choices among compressor types are piston/reciproca ng vs. rotary/screw. Among the piston compressors you
will select between single and dual head compressors and lubricated vs. oil‐less. Screw compressors are generally more expen‐
sive but significantly quieter, usually less than 70 dBA at a distance of 3 feet from the compressor (a level of sound typical on a
busy downtown street) while reciproca ng compressors are o en above 80 dBA (a level of sound similar to that near a typical
residen al gasoline powered lawn mower.) The level of sound‐output is an important considera on and should not be over‐
looked. Since it is desirable to have the compressor located near the stamping equipment it should be noted that it is difficult
to converse and some mes distrac ng to work in the par cularly noisy environment surrounding a reciproca ng compressor.
Ideally the compressor can be moved around a corner, behind a wall, or one floor above or below the area where operators
will be working – but keep in mind that it is also important to try to have the compressor, delivery lines and stamping equip‐
ment all at nearly the same temperature as described elsewhere in this document. Screw compressors have fewer wearing
components and generally require a simpler maintenance schedule. Screw compressors also deliver cleaner air with no oil in
the air. This generally extends the life of the stamping equipment by reducing buildup inside of cylinders and air valves. If a
reciproca ng compressor is used it is important to select a high quality oil‐coalescing filter to try to remove as much oil as pos‐
sible from the compressed air stream. The number of heads (1 or 2) on a piston compressor relates to the total amount of air
output. Generally dual head compressors will handle larger CFM requirements (typically 30+ CFM at 90 psi). As men oned
earlier, rotary compressors are usually designed to run a 100% duty cycle while most reciproca ng compressors are usually
used on a 50%‐66% duty cycle. As such, it is usually necessary to specify a larger capacity reciproca ng compressor in order to
provide the same output as a rotary compressor.
A storage tank is designed to allow the compressor to not have to run full me to supply all of the necessary air flow. Typically
a tank is sized to be 2‐4 gallons per CFM output from the compressor (example, a 20 CFM compressor typically has a 40‐80
gallon tank). In many cases, water will condense inside por ons of the compressed air circuit – including the compressed air
tank. These tanks are designed with drains so that the water can be removed regularly (typically daily). Keep in mind that a
significant amount of water can be removed, so it is important to have a drain or other means to remove the collected water
from your facility.
A er‐cooler
The a er cooler is used to bring the temperature of the compressed air to sufficiently low temperatures so that it can be
properly dried by either a desiccant dryer or refrigerated dryer. In some systems, the a er‐cooler and dryer are integrated into
a single system. Most a er‐coolers are similar to automobile radiators consis ng of a heat exchanger and a fan which forces
room air past the heat exchanger to cool the compressed air.
Dryer
Under typical warehouse opera ng condi ons, a dryer is needed which has a throughput (SCFM) equal to or greater than the
total an cipated compressed air requirement. Drying capacity is specified in units of “Dew Point”. A typical refrigerated dryer
supplies air with a maximum dew point of around 37F meaning that the air exi ng the dryer would not be expected to con‐
dense out moisture if it were kept above a temperature of 37F.
When selec ng a dryer for a facility where the ambient temperatures are expected to fall below the dew point of the dryer,
please consult directly with United Silicone Service or a compressor dryer manufacture to discuss the
14
4471 Walden Avenue Lancaster, New York 14086 800.639.3799www.ustaxstamp.com
specific details of the installa on. Special Desiccant Dryers are available that can produce very low dew points if needed. Re‐
gardless of which type of dryer you use, note that depending upon the condi ons of opera on, significant quan es of water
may be removed by the dryer. It is usually necessary to have a floor drain or other provision near the dryer to allow easy re‐
moval of the condensed water from your facility.
Delivery Piping
Delivery piping is o en overlooked in the system design and problems with too small line diameters and too long piping runs
can cause significant opera onal difficul es. Common problems to avoid include:
• Use large diameter piping. All piping should be a minimum of ½” dia for 0‐30 CFM and ¾” dia for 30‐ 60 CFM. Above 60 CFM,
consult Meyercord Service or a compressor equipment manufacturer for a custom piping plan be designed.
• Use short piping runs between the compressor and the equipment. Maintain all piping runs of ½” tubing to less than 40 feet
and ¾” tubing to less than 75 feet. The maximum distance from the compressor to all pieces of equipment should be less than
75 feet.
• Avoid serial placement of equipment along a single piping run – instead use a central manifold with individual branches to
each piece of equipment. (Otherwise the last piece of equipment on the piping run may become “starved” as equipment up‐
stream consumes the air before it reaches the last piece.)
• The temperature of air surrounding the compressed air delivery system is very important. The simplest arrangement is when
the compressor, all delivery piping and the stamping equipment all remain at nearly the same temperature. If you are planning
to locate the compressor in a different room, or in an outdoor shed, or if the delivery piping will pass through walls between
areas of different temperature (for example, if the compressor is in one building and the delivery piping goes outside and then
into the next building before reaching the stamping equipment) United Silicone recommends that you work with a qualified
local compressor company to address the specifics of your installa on in a custom piping plan.
5) Can I purchase my compressed air equipment through United Silicone? Will Service repair my compressed air equipment?
United Silicone can provide you with an air solu on system that includes quality manufactured parts that are recommended
above. Purchasing your air system through United Silicone ensures proper installa on, service and warranty to maximize the
poten al of your tax stamping equipment. Please contact United Silicone or your service technician for more details and pric‐
ing.
6) What about compliance with local laws/codes?
United Silicone is used in many different jurisdic ons and regulatory environments. While we endeavor to provide safe and
reliable equipment and installa on recommenda ons which represent generally accepted industry prac ce, the end user is
ul mately responsible for selec ng, installing and plumbing the compressed air system in such a manner so as to meet all local
ordinances and applicable safety and plumbing codes. United Silicone recommend that each customer work with a locally li‐
censed contractor and/or plumber to ensure that the completed final system is in full compliance. United Silicone takes no
responsibility in this regard and makes no representa on that the recommenda ons in this document and those of our field
service technicians and other employees are necessarily in complete compliance with our customers’ site‐specific regulatory
and/or safety requirements.
