Operation 23
Take Away Time
Use the “Take-away TIME” to set the amount of time the conveyor will run.
When the seal bar is released the conveyor will automatically
move the product into the shrink tunnel according to the set time.
The take away time will vary according to the product being
sealed and the operator’s ability.
Ensure that the timer sliding switches are in the times ten (X10)
and the second (Sec) positions. If the timing switches are in the
X1 and or the minute positions it will result in a ridiculous value
that is way out of operating range.
Energizing Seal Band Time Adjustment
Note: The Energizing Seal Band Time Adjustment has been set at
the Eastey facility and should not have to be changed. See the
information below for adjustment if needed.
The Energizing Seal Band Time is the amount of time that the seal
band will be energized when in the cutting position. The energizing
time is set by a small timer located on the surface of the shrink
tunnel base under the sealer above the lower fan grille. The
“Energizing Time” timer should be set to a value less than the seal
time. Depending on film properties, such as material, thickness,
and run rate, the energizing timer may need to be adjusted in small
increments to attain optimal seal.
Caution! Make very small changes to the energizing time value. High
energizing times may overstress and burn out the seal band.
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 lead
seal.
Lift the top film and place the product to be sealed on the product table under the top
layer of film.
