Air Pulse; Seal Point - Advanced Poly-Packaging T-1000-S14 Advanced Poly-Bagger Operation Manual

In the Manual mode with NO accumulating funnel, Fill Time will delay the operation from starting until
this time has passed. When the T-1000 is equipped with an accumulating funnel, Fill Time will affect the
delay time before sealing, after the door has closed on the accumulating funnel.
2) In the AUTO cycle mode with no auxiliary infeed equipment, Fill Time affects the paced rate operation.
The bagger will automatically cycle with the Fill Time delaying the seal bar after the bag has been blown
open. In the AUTO mode, no foot switch or other actuator is used. CAUTION: To avoid physical harm,
DO NOT cycle the T-1000 in the AUTOMATIC mode when funnel(s), guard(s) or covers are removed.
Caution: Since the seal bar actuates automatically, operators must keep fingers, hands and other parts of
the body well away from the sealing mechanism and all other moving parts at all times. AUXILIARY
cycle mode, FILL TIME displays, in seconds, the time for which a product, automatically filled by
auxiliary equipment, has to be completely settled in the bag before the seal bar is actuated. This time is
typically referred to as the DELAY TIME.
CAUTION: To avoid physical harm, DO NOT cycle the T-1000 in the AUXILIARY mode without the
funnel(s), funnel extension(s), guard(s) and covers in proper position. Since the seal bar actuates
automatically, operators must keep fingers, hands and other parts of the body well away from the sealing
mechanism and all other moving parts at all times.
To adjust the value, press the highlighted <Fill Time> button to display the number keypad. Then enter the
value on the number keypad followed by the <Enter> button to return to the Bag Setup Screen.
NOTE: Auxiliary mode is further described in Appendix B, if Auxiliary options or components were
provided by APPI.

3.11 Air Pulse

Displays, in seconds, the amount of time that a burst of air will last, initially blowing the bag open. Wider
bags and heavier gauge bags require a longer burst of air to initially open the bag. Narrower and thinner
gauge bags require less air to initially open the bag. To adjust the value, press the <Air Pulse> button
from the Bag Setup Menu to display the number keypad. Press the numbers on the keypad followed by the
<Enter> button to return the Bag Setup Menu. Additionally, to increase the volume of air from the air
pulse tubes, turn the Air Pulse valve counter-clockwise; turning the valve clockwise will decrease the
volume of air. The Valves to adjust the air pulse air volume and blower air volume are located on the right
lower side of the seal frame assembly.
Note: The volume of air set should be the minimum amount and duration required to consistently open the
bag.

3.12 Seal Point

Displays, in inches, the seal point position measured from the top perforation. To adjust the value, press
the button labeled <Seal Point> from the Bag Setup Menu. Using the displayed number keypad, press in
the value for the amount desired followed by the <Enter> button. Press the foot switch to test the setting
and adjust as required. The proper positioning of the seal on the bag varies due to bag size and product
characteristics. Wider bags generally require greater sealing area than do narrower bags. Additionally,
bags packaged with bulky products require greater sealing area than do bags packaged with thinner
products.
<New Bag> button is used to start an internal program which calculates an average bag length.
This information is required if a perforation is not detected, so that the bag will stop in the correct
seal position. Bag length information is displayed, but may not exactly match the bag length due to
mechanical tolerances in the equipment (ie: roller diameter fluctuations). It is only useful to
