Installation
Setup
There are different procedures for setting up coils, depending on the style. Some coils will
require proper adjustment of conveyor guides, others will require a pivot adjust depending on
cap size, and the hand held coils require no adjustment.
Hand Held Coil
The hand held coil is normally used for low volume applications, or on applications which
prohibit the use of a conveyor style system. Hand held coils are designed for a variety of cap
styles and sizes. Verify that the cap you are intending to use will fit in the sealing zone shown in
Figure 3 on page 7. If your application does not fit in the usable area, please contact the factory
for additional information.
1.
The sealing time is displayed on the front panel digital display. Using the Alarm/Timer set
point buttons, adjust the display reading for the proper time. The display is calibrated in
seconds of time with the maximum time setting being ten seconds.
2.
Place the coil over the container and cap that you are trying to seal. The cap should be as
close to center under the coil as possible.
3.
The switch on the handle of the coil will start the timing sequence when pressed.
4.
It is important to note that on larger cap diameters, it may be necessary to adjust the output
power level to a value less than 100%. This is due to the larger mass of foil under the coil,
and the need for additional dwell time, allowing the heat to reach into the center of the cap.
The balance of time versus power will be dependent on the size of the cap, liner material, and
even contents of the container. The power level may be viewed by pressing the Power
Button. The power level may be adjusted using the Power Set Point Up/Down Arrows.
