16 Installation
Location Requirements
When installing the bundling tunnel please be aware of the following considerations:
1. The surface on which it is located is flat and level.
2. Conveyor or packing table height.
3. Alignment with packaging line.
When the bundling tunnel is positioned in the operating location you will need access to
the control panel.
Provision should be made for finished exiting packages. For example, a table or bin
where packages that have been sealed will be placed until they can be picked up or
moved out.
Take into consideration the entrance conveyor height in relation adjacent machinery,
such as the sealer feeding into it, for example.
The machine should be placed on a flat, level floor so that it does not rock or move. We
recommend that the leveling feet be used to level the machine.
Set up the bundling tunnel and move it to its location. The casters allow easy movement
over smooth flat surfaces.
CAUTION!
If the bundling tunnel must be lifted for moving, use proper
equipment when lifting and moving it to ensure it is secure
and will not shift.
When the bundling tunnel has been moved to its location, use the leveling legs to level
the conveyor and adjust it to its final height. A power cord to the main electrical
disconnect switch (with optional electrical plug) should be installed by a licensed
electrician.
Note:
This machine requires 8 gauge – 75° main power cord.
Refer to instructions in the following section for instructions to power up or shut down
the machine.
Special Notes About the Bundling Tunnel Shutdown Sequence
When shutting down the tunnel, be sure to first turn the heater-bank switch to Off.
Once the heater-bank switch is switched off, it will take some time (this will vary
depending on heat settings) for the tunnel to cool down completely.
