Film Clamp Safety
The “Film Clamp Safety” is designed to protect the operator from accidental injury during normal
operating procedures. When the film clamp safeties are properly set the seal head will instantly retract if it
comes into contact with any object during the sealing cycle. The film clamp safety must be set-up and
tested by a qualified service technician or a properly trained operator. Testing of the film clamp safety
should be done daily and anytime any changes are made to the machine to make sure they are in proper
adjustment.
Each Texwrap sealer machine is shipped with a “Safety Tester” (Part # 80-SAFETYTEST) this is
used to properly set-up and test the film clamps. The film clamps should always be tested before the
machine is to be operated.

Testing Procedure
1.
With the machine properly locked out, place the safety tester approximately 6 inches from the either
end of the seal pad and between the cross seal jaw with the yellow tab on the exit side of the jaw. (see
illustration #1) This will insure that the photo eyes are not blocked. When the jaws close they should
close on the widest portion of the tester (see illustration #2).
