TROUBLE SHOOTING / RECOMMENDATIONS
Symptom:
Centerfold shrink film will not separate or open.
Recommendation:
If shrink film appears to be single sheet, place a strip of tape on top of the film and on the bottom and pull
apart to initially separate.
Symptom:
Film appears to smoke or is sticking to wire when seal is made.
Recommendation:
This can mean one of several things:
1. With PP or PO film, wire must be kept clean by removing sealing pad
and depressing arm until wire burns clean all film residue. No Teflon tape
required on arm.
2. PVC film will smoke when seal is made. Teflon tape over the heating
element will prevent the film from smoking and will occasionally need to
be replaced. For Teflon tape or other parts, call the service number.
Symptom:
Burning holes in shrink film with the heat gun.
Recommendation:
If gun is set on high temperature and held in the same spot for
more than a few seconds, the film will burn. Gun should be continually moving in a
circular spiral motion from the outside edges of the package first, and to the middle
of the package last.
Symptom:
Arm is not properly cutting and sealing shrink film.
Recommendation:
1. On/Off switch may not be turned on.
2. Timer on Deluxe Model may not be set properly.
3. Arm may not be in complete contact with pad. (Gentle Pressure).
4. Excessive pressure applied to sealing arm.
5. Wire may need cleaning.
Symptom:
Setting timer properly on the Deluxe Model.
Recommendation:
Timer should be set to allow the minimal amount of time necessary to cut and seal the film. The setting
will vary according to type of film in use. Setting timer too high will burn the film. PVC film will require a lower setting than
most other films. Timer may need to be adjusted to lower setting as machine is used in a continuous or
rapid manner.
The air inside the package expands as the
film is heated. The quickest way to vent the
film is to cut what amounts to an asterisk (*)
into the closed end of the centerfold. The
smaller your package, the more lines you
should cut to make sure every package has
at least one vent hole. This will prevent
package from ballooning.
