    MPS6100-M OPERATION MANUAL 4) Next, the sealing head (control box and rails) must be attached to the stand. Simply place the upper two support knobs on either side of the control box into the upper slots on the stand. Next, gently swing the sealing section down into place. The sealing section will be attached as in Figure #5.
  • Page 20 MPS6100-M OPERATION MANUAL CAUTION: This assembly weighs in total over 28 kilograms, please use a minimum of two people to remove this from the box and to mount in its final position. 2) Remove the second layer of wrap and foam to uncover the product shelf ASSEMBLING THE MPS 6140 OPTIONAL PRODUCT SHELF 1) To assemble the product shelf, the mounting blocks must be attached first.

  • Page 26: Proper Bag Feeding

    MPS6100-M OPERATION MANUAL PROPER BAG FEEDING Feed the leading edge of the bag into the machine and lightly hold onto the trailing edge of the bag to avoid any bunching or creasing of the material. A notch located on the in- feed rail guide indicates the minimum height of the top of the bag when fed into the rails.
  • Page 27: Bag Support Capability

    MPS6100-M OPERATION MANUAL BAG SUPPORT CAPABILITY Product conveying belts hold the bag in position during the sealing process. The amount of weight capable of being supported by the conveying belts is directly proportional to the width and the thickness of the bag containing the product. The machine in-feed section is designed to support the bag as it runs through the sealer.
  • Page 28: Standing On The Machine

    MPS6100-M OPERATION MANUAL USE OF NON APPROVED LUBRICANTS The MPS 6100 comes from the factory containing specific lubricants on two separate parts of the machine the gear box and the product conveying belts contained within the in-feed rail assembly. Please use lubricants which meet or exceed the specifications of the factory installed lubricants shown in table 2 below.
  • Page 29: Sealing Over Filled Bags

    MPS6100-M OPERATION MANUAL SEALING OVER FILLED BAGS The MPS 6300 is not designed to have over filled bags or obstruct objects fed through the conveying or sealing sections of the machine. The product in the bag being sealed must remain below the in-feed rail at all times. Only have the bag itself should be fed through, failure to comply will result in damage to the machine and a void warranty.

  • Page 35 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL GENERAL PROCEDURES DE-ENERGIZING AND LOCKOUT PROCEDURE CAUTION: Risk of electrical shock if the machine has not been properly de-energized and locked out prior to performing maintenance procedures. 1) First the machine must be powered off using the main power switch on the front of the control box.
  • Page 36 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL TIME TEMPERATURE (minutes) (°C) TABLE - 1 OPENING THE CONTROL BOX The control box must be opened to perform certain maintenance procedures. This procedure must always be followed in order to reduce the risk of injury to the service technician.
  • Page 37 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL LOWERING THE IN-FEED RAILS The in-feed rails containing the product conveying belts must be lowered to perform certain maintenance procedures on the machine. This procedure must be followed in order to prevent damage to the machine and injury to the service technician. The rails of the MPS6100 may only be lowered while the machine is in a de-energized locked out state, follow procedure 1.1.
  • Page 38 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL RAISING THE IN-FEED RAILS If the in-feed rails have been lowered to perform maintenance it will be necessary to raise them once finished. Simply reverse the procedure shown in section 1.5 to raise the rails back into position. If the drive pulleys or gears have rotated while the in-feed rails have been lowered it will be necessary to raise the rails while the machine is running at a very low speed.
  • Page 39 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL 1) The machine must first be locked out, follow procedure 1.1 2) There is exposure to hot surfaces if the machine is not cooled down properly, please follow procedure 1.2 3) The rail must be lowered, follow section 1.4.

Contact your dealer or the Plexpack service group at +1-416-291-8085 1) It is necessary to follow the lockout procedure 1.1, and be aware of section 1.2 which states the cooling times of the sealing bars before continuing.
  • Page 41 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL FIGURE - 4 Tension Knobs 6) The cooling and sealing bar pressure will also need to be released follow procedure 1.6 and figure 3 for details. 7) Remove the old bands and clear any band fragments that may be present. This is also an ideal time to clean the seal bars, refer to section 3.2 for information.
  • Page 42 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL Pressure Plates Heating Bars Cooling FIGURE - 5 Slide the bands up the pulleys on both ends and try to centre them on the pulleys and on the sealing/cooling bars. 10) Raise the rails by following the procedure in section 1.6 Do not over-tension.
  • Page 43 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL CAUTION: The sealing bars are extremely hot when machine is running—be sure to allow bars to cool to avoid personal injury. 2) Next, you will need to remove the guarding. The guarding is removed by loosening the two boltss shown in Figure #6.
  • Page 44 MPS6100-M MAINTENANCE MANUAL Do not over-tighten. Tension the bands by turning the tension knobs clockwise. Adjustment of the bands is critical—if the bands are too tight, they may break. REMOVING PRODUCT CONVEYING BELTS 1) It is necessary to follow the lockout procedure 1.1, and be aware of section 1.2 which states the cooling times of the sealing bars before continuing.
