Chapter 6. Machine adjustment and setting up
6.4. Reel support and packaging plate adjustment
The reel support (4) and the packaging plate (11) must be
adjusted according to the width of the article to be packaged,
leaving a space of about 1-2 cm between the article and the
welding edge.
Unscrew the knob (V4) in front of the packaging plate to adjust
its position according to the width of the object to be packaged.
After the regulation tighten the knob.
6.5. Making the first seal
Place film as shown in the picture to carry out the first seal.
Use both hands to lower down the hood handle and exert a
slight pressure. The magnet action will hold the hood closed for
the set up time.
Machine will automatically operate and the first seal will be
carried out on the side of the film.
With the right hand detach the film from the sealing blade
towards the outside.
6.6. Film binding on rewinder (if present)
Carry out a number of cycles sufficient to make a strip of scrap
film.
Let it run around the transmission supports (26) and (27), the
control roll (28) and hook it on the rewinder (29).
The machine is now ready to start the packaging.
6.7. Introducing the object to be packaged
With the left hand slide on the packaging plate the quantity of
film necessary to contain the product to be packed.
Introduce the product into the bag using the right hand and make
it slide to the left until it is laid on the screen leaving a little space
of about 1-2 cm to allow the passage of air for shrinkwrapping.
Note: The product must be arranged on the reticulated plate (12)
by laying it on the 4 or 6 supports (9) (according to the product
size) supplied. The product remains slightly lifted from the
reticulated plate, thus providing for a better air passage for heat
shrinkage.
6.8. Packaging
By pushing the cover handle with a pressure of 15 Kg. the cover
rests on the sealing blade; by pinching the film, it is automatically
sealed on the open sides (right and front).
In case you have selected the function "SEALING +
SHRINKWRAPPING" (programs P02÷P10) you will see the film
shrink onto the product.
Slightly decrease the pressure on the cover handle to allow film
detach from the sealing area on the inside.
With the right and detach the film from the sealing blade towards
the outside.
