Push either the “STOP” or “EMERGENCY STOP” button at any time to open the front
channel. Pushing the “STOP” button will open the front channel and keep the heaters on.
The “EMERGENCY STOP” button will open the front (swing) channel, turn the electrical
system and heaters “OFF” and leave the air flowing through the manifold.
BAG CLOSURE TEST OF TRIAL RUN
The following procedure is a practical way to check the quality of bag closure on the PBC 6000
while making the initial set up. Using an empty bag, seal it in the machine, allow it to cool and
then examine it.
1. Cut the entire bag top off about six inches (152mm) down from the top of the fold. This will
allow you to examine the closure from the inside of the bag top.
2. Cut the gusseted side panels away.
3. Open the cutaway panel. Stress the bonded area between your hands by pulling and
"popping" the seal.
4. Peel the glue joint. A good bond will require some strength to peel apart the closure. Most
importantly, bag fibers should be found embedded in the glue, along the entire length of the
seal. Shiny surfaces will indicate a lack of adhesion to the bag.
A bad bond will snap open
and will be seen as a shiny surface along the glue strip, without paper fiber. This is due to
incorrect heating or insufficient compression of the closure.
7.3 SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
1.
Turn the heater switch to OFF. Let the machine cool until the temperature is about 100
o
F
(38
o
C) before turning the electrical and pneumatic supplies off. Not allowing the manifold to
cool completely will shorten the life of the heaters and cause damage to the pneumatic hoses.
2.
Push the STOP or EMERGENCY STOP switch. The swing channel will rotate up (open)
and all belts will stop. The air will continue to flow through the hot air manifold.
3.
Turn off the main disconnect switch on the door of the main electrical enclosure.
Keep the
switch off and locked out when not in use.
WARNING
NEVER TURN THE AIR SUPPLY OFF WHILE THE HEATERS ARE
STILL HOT. ALWAYS LET THE HEATERS COMPLETELY
COOL BEFORE TURNING THE AIR SUPPLY OFF.
