SWING CHANNEL MANIFOLD HEATER GUIDE
Once the rear (fixed channel) folder and bottom folder guide have been set into position, the
remaining “fine tuning” can be performed on the swing channel’s manifold heater guide. The hot
air manifold can also be adjusted horizontally. It is important that a gap is left between the hot air
manifold and its guide. Left in contact or too close to each other, the guide will reach a high
temperature, which can mar the surface of the bag, creating a build up of material on its surface.
The position of the manifold guide allows for the actual thickness of the bag top material. The
guide must be aligned to be parallel with the carry though plate and the manifold top. Its top edge
should rise above the hot air manifold’s top by about ¼ inch (6,4mm). (

guide must be above the manifold to prevent the glue strip from coming into contact with the
manifold surface. If the guide is not high enough over the manifold, the flap will come into
