NOTE: A blower system opens the bags for
filling. This system will not work with some
products such as powders, shredded
paper and other very light products. Very
light products get caught in the airflow
and will not go into the bag properly.
Some powders may also stick to the inner
surfaces of the bag in the heat seal area.
This may prevent the bag from sealing
properly during the heat sealing process.
SET THE HEAT CONTROLS
The machine includes one heating element
mounted to the lower jaw of the heat sealer
and one spare, taped inside the front access
door. The heating elements make a Ribbon Seal
approximately 2" (0.5 cm) long by /8” ( mm)
The heat sealer has an adjustable heat-time control
that may be set from 0% to 00%.
Set the hEAT SEALING control to indicate
approximately 0%. (See Figure )
.
Flip the BAG ADJUST switch to dispense a bag.
(See Figure 5)
Tear the bag off along perforation, then
position the mouth of the bag between the
seal jaws.
CAUTION! NEVER attempt to heat seal
through the printed area on a bag, as it will
cause sticking and gumming.
Depress the foot switch until the sealing cycle
starts, then release. When the sealing cycle is
complete, remove the bag from the Teflon
®
covered lower sealer jaw using a left to right
or right to left peeling motion.
INSPECTING ThE hEAT SEAL
An acceptable ribbon seal shows the grain of
the Teflon
®
jaw covers and have a slightly milky
appearance. An acceptable trim seal leaves a
fine raised bead at the end of the bag – no fringe
or angel hair.
IF hEAT SEAL IS TOO WEAk
Increase the heat-time setting slightly (clockwise):
If the heat seal does not look complete or if the
bag will not stay closed, repeat the process using
another bag until you are satisfied with the results.
Be sure that the seal area is not coated with a
contaminant.
IF hEAT SEAL MELTS ThROUGh
Decrease
the
heat-time
setting
slightly
(counterclockwise): If the seal melts through, too
much of the bag material extrudes away during
sealing, the top of the bag flops back on itself or
if the sealed ends look shrunken. Repeat testing
using another bag until you are satisfied.
NOTE: Use as little heat time as possible to
obtain the necessary results. Overheating
weakens the seal area on the bag and
causes higher maintenance. The heating
element expands and contracts during
each sealing cycle, eventually causing the
element to wear out. When replacing the
element, it may be necessary to readjust
the temperature control timer.
