Chapter 8 – Malfunctions
19
Incident
Possible cause
Remedy
Force high
The packaging material is too
thick, has been folded or kinked.
Make sure that you use only suitable film. The
film may not be creased, folded, or sealed
under multiple layers.
An instrument has blocked the
sealing procedure.
Use sufficient film so that no instruments are
able to enter the sealing device and block the
sealing procedure.
The pre-set maximum sealing
force has been mal-adjusted.
On repeated occurrence, inform your MELAG
customer services.
TEMP 1
The temperature does not
increase fast enough after
switching on the sealing device.
Switch off the sealing device and then on
again. On repeated occurrence, inform your
MELAG customer services.
TEMP 2
The max. permissible temperature
has been exceeded.
Switch off the sealing device and allow it to
cool sufficiently. Switch the sealing device
back on.
TEMP 3
The temperature falls too strongly
during the sealing procedure.
Check whether the sealing device is standing
in a draught or if the ambient temperature is
too low. If necessary, place the sealing device
in an equally acclimatized, draught-free
location.
Temp too low
If the malfunction message disappears after a
few minutes, you can continue operation as
usual. On repeated occurrence, inform your
MELAG customer services.
Temp too high
The sealing temperature is too
high for a short period.
If the malfunction message disappears after a
few minutes, you can continue operation as
usual. On repeated occurrence, inform your
MELAG customer services.
Speed low
The device is blocked by
packaging material or a badly
positioned instrument
Check the sealing area for packaging or
instruments. Working carefully, remove the
blockage by hand or by pressing the reverse
key.
The drive was braked during the
sealing procedure by e.g. over-
heavy sealing objects (one or
more instruments).
Always guide the sealing material to prevent
braking of the drive. If possible, always use
less sealing material per film or the optional
work table "comfort" with rollers.
Housing temperature
too high
The housing fan is soiled.
Switch off the sealing device and clean the fan
suction opening in the base plate. This should
be cleaned on a monthly basis.
Display becomes
dark
The housing fan is soiled.
Switch off the sealing device and clean the fan
suction opening in the base plate. This should
be cleaned on a monthly basis.
Drive does not stop
The sealing device is located in
too bright an area. If direct light
(room illumination or sun) shines
on the infeed side of the sealing
device, the start sensor will be
activated automatically.
Setup the sealing device at a location with less
or no direct light.
Execute service
Please consult your MELAG customer
services/stockist (routine maintenance of the
sealing device).
