10.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Place the desired type and size of centrefolded film on the film cradle with
the open side of film facing to the front. To align the film relative to the front
seal pad and to suit the product to be packed, slide the cradle backwards or
forwards to the desired position.
2.
Place the loading platform/film separator between the film layers pulling the
free end of film under the seal arm. Ideally the platform should be
positioned so that it's tip comes to within half the pack height of the film fold
line.
3.
Switch power 'ON' and observe 'POWER ON' light is illuminated.
4.
Set 'WIRE TEMP.' to specified recommendation and with the film under the
right-hand sealing arm, lower arm onto the film and hold down under
moderate pressure. When the light, on the temperature simulator, goes out,
release the arm and observe welded film. There should be a clean cut-off
and weld with no gaps evident.
5.
Place product between the film layers, on the loading plate and move to the
left and into the sealing area. The product and film should always be pulled
into position rather than pushed to protect the leading seal.
6.
Close the seal arm and hold down firmly until the simulator light goes out, at
which point the arm can be released as the film will have been welded and
cut from the roll.
WASTE FILM IS GENERATED FROM THIS PROCESS
AND, SINCE IT IS SLIPPERY AND COULD CAUSE AN
ACCIDENT ,THIS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TO PILE UP
ON THE FLOOR.
WIRE TEMPERATURE.
Controlled as set out above. For all gauges and types of film it is recommended that a low
setting is first tried, gradually increasing to find the lowest setting at which a satisfactory
clean cut-off is achieved. The number (on the simulator) thus established should be noted
for future reference in relation to the particular type and gauge of film in use. On no account
should too high a setting be used as this will reduce the life of both sealing wire and sealing
pads and might give rise to unpleasant fumes.
