Note: If bags were delivered with the
T-300/T-375
or the size of the bags were known to APPI, the
T-300/T-375 may be ready to run. Therefore, few changes to BAG SET UP may be required.
2.9 Increasing Tension
To improve bag alignment, increased web tension may be required. You can increase tension
by loosening one of the chucks that hold the roll in position on the shaft and pressing it inwards,
toward the center of the roll of bags. Then, tighten while pressing inward. This increases drag
on the roll of bags, increasing web tension. Also, if the bags pay off too much when the web
advances, increasing drag will prevent bags from paying off excess film.
2.10 Note on Adjustments to the T-300
Upon receipt, it is not unusual for the T-300 to be out of alignment due to shipping and excessive
handling. Unless physically damaged, the bagger will function properly after minor adjustments are
accomplished. Read Chapter 4 for information on adjustments of the T-300
.
