3.10 Seal
– Control
A regular control of the seal is necessary. The seal can be examined visually. Make
a seal, peel it apart and examine it as follows:
Correct Seal
The seal must be completely welded over the whole
width of the strap on a length of ca. 19mm. Minor
quantities of fused plastic may overflow on sides.
Welding Time Too Short
The plastic strap is not welded over the whole width of
the strap. The seal efficiency is insufficient.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be
removed from the package. Adjust the welding time
(see 3.3.2).
Welding Time is Too Long
If the welding time is too long the straps are
overheated. The fused plastic overflows on both sides
of the straps. The seal efficiency is affected.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be
removed from the package. Adjust the welding time
(see 3.3.2).
3.11 Cleaning
Clean tension and sealing parts from strap abrasion
regularly using compressed air.
Do not use any mechanical tool for cleaning.
When cleaning the surface of the tool do not use
water or aggressive solvents.
3.12 Air Unit
Checking the air-pressure daily (never exceed
6 bar / 87psi)
Checking oil-level daily
The water separator must be emptied before it
is full (unless automatic)
The filter has to be cleaned following the
instructions of the manufacturer of the air- unit
Check the function and proper adjustment of
the lubricator daily (approximately 1-2 drops/min.)
