3.3   INSTALLING THE SHRINK FILM

The dimensions of the packing product are width (W), the height (H), and the length (L) as 
shown in  Figure 3–33.

Figure 3–3   Packing Product Dimensions

1.  Start the conveyor. 

2.  Check that the belt is tracking at the center of the bed. If not, follow the adjustment procedure 

on Page 2-5 to adjust the belt.  

3.  Select the appropriate shrink fi lm: 

Width of shrink fi lm = W (Product Width) + H (Product Height) + 5” ~ 7” (depends on the 
height of the packing product).

4.  Adjust the infeed conveyor Height (see Figure 3–4): Rotate the conveyor adjusting wheel to 

adjust the height of the triangular plate. The correct position is about 1/2 H (Product Height) 
+ 5~10mm. 

5.  Adjust of the infeed conveyor relative to the product guide (Figure 3-4)by placing a product 

on the belt and then squeezing the handle on the front of conveyor unit. This will enable 
movement of the conveyor unit to the appropriate width which is W (Product Width) plus 
one-third of the product height.
