C. Removing a “Wrap-Around”
A "wrap-around" occurs if the film exiting the
rear rollers curls around one of them causing
the laminate to wind around the roller.
If the wrap-around is not severe, simply use
the reverse feature and back the film out.
Make sure to remove the Feed Table
before reversing the machine!
For extreme wrap-arounds (i.e. when plastic
and/or product have wrapped around the
rubber rollers several times) follow this proce-
dure:
CHECK THREADING
Wrinkles on film (side to side)
Wrinkles on film (lengthwise)
Plastic not bonding
Bubbles or Blisters
Impressions on product
Squeaking sounds
Film narrowing on shoes
Film wrinkling on shoes
Continuous blemish
Cloudy film
"Orange Peel" finish
Poor seal - one side only
No seal on edges
Film won't stay aligned
Film sticks to shoes
