24 Operation
Sealing the Product
Advance the film across the product tray. Remember the film is split with the bottom half
going beneath the product tray and to top going over the product tray.
Note:
For best results, the seal head should be cycled three to four
times initially before sealing to warm up the upper seal head.
Pull a short length of film into the seal area and pull the seal bar down to create a
leading seal.
Lift the top film and place the product to be sealed on the product table under the top
layer of film.
Advance the product and film to the seal area on the takeaway conveyor.
Close the sealing bar using slight pressure and let go. The sealing bar will seal the
product and release automatically according to the sealing time setting.
After the seal head has been released the takeaway conveyor will move the product into
the heat shrink tunnel.
Repeat this process for the next package to be sealed.
As products are moved through the L-sealer, a long tail of scrap will accumulate on the
operator side of the machine. Wind the scrap material around the two fixed holders.
Note:
During the normal course of operation of the sealer, the seal heads
will require cleaning from time to time. For best results, form a ball of
accumulated scrap sealing film and keep this handy to use to wipe
the seal blades when needed.
Shutting Down
When shutting down it is important to let the temperature inside the shrink tunnel cool
down before turning off the main power. See the special notes about the tunnel
shutdown sequence at the end of this section.
Turn switches for the sealer and for the tunnel heater to
the OFF position.
Attention!
Do not turn the conveyor and blower off until the shrink
tunnel has cooled down considerably.
