Chapter 6. Machine adjustment and setting up
6.1. Adjustment
6.1.1. Control panel
The machine is fitted with a control panel, from which all programming and operation functions can be set.
1 Main switch
2 Button "DECREASE". Reduces set function values
3 Button "INCREASE". Increases set function values
A Temperature warning light
B Shrinking warning light
C Sealing warning light
P Cycle counter selection button
D Display. Displays selected functions and relative
settings
S Programme and variable selection button
6.1.2. Switching the machine on
Turn the main switch (1) into pos. 1.
The display (D) turns on and the number of the currently selected program will appear.
Switching the machine on (with programs P02÷P10) powers the shrinking heat element which begins to heat up.
Before using the machine, wait until the adjusting temperature is reached. This is signalled by the extinction of the
warning light (A).
6.1.3. Program selection and variable setting
The machine is equipped with 10 selectionable programs (P01÷P10).
Push buttons (2) and (3) to select the number of the program.
Program P01
This program is for film sealing only.
The film melts due to the heat of the sealing blade. The pressure between the sealing blade
and the upper contrast lined in Teflon separates the 2 edges of the film.
The product to be packed is enclosed in a slack bag.
Program P02÷P10
This program seals and shrinks film simultaneously.
Shrinking is produced by the forced circulation of hot air around the the package. Air is heated
by passing through a heat element (heat diaphragm).
The product to be packed is enclosed in a bag which perfectly adheres to its shape.
The number of settable variables will depend upon the programme number (see the following table).
The programmes P02÷P10 must be programmed in the following order (only the sealing time can be set up for
programme 01):
1.
Sealing time
2.
Fan delay time after sealing
3.
Shrinking time
4.
Heat chamber temperature
