Note on Seal Quality
Quality seals are achieved by making adjustments to SEAL TIME, SEAL TEMP., SEAL POINT and by
having the proper seal pressure.
Note: As an additional seal function, cool time may also be required for heavy or bulky products. If too
hot, the seal may separate when the pressure bar releases the bag after sealing. Cool time is considered a
factory setting and can be adjusted through the Technical Assistance Screens. (See Section 3.50).
Note: Ensure Regulator Pressure is set to 60 PSI.
If, after making necessary adjustments, seal quality remains insufficient, additional options may be
purchased to enhance seal appearance, integrity or strength.
See Chapter 1 for description of available options: FS-10 Flat Seal Assembly, TS-10 Trim Seal Assembly,
BD-10 Bag Deflator, LS-10 Load Shelf, Twin Seal option). Wider seal bars are also available to increase
the consistency of seals.

3.18 Options Menu

Options that have been added to the T-1000 at the factory can be setup from the Options Screen. If
options were not installed at the factory, then N/A (Not available) will be displayed to the left of each
options button. Otherwise, the button will display ON or OFF. See Figures 3-5 and 3-6
Note: If options are added in the field, a pass code is required to Enable use of the option. Contact APPI
for pass codes. Options which have been purchased separately must be installed by APPI or by qualified
maintenance personnel.
The following sections describe how to setup optional equipment on the T-1000. If your T-1000 is not
equipped with these options, please disregard these sections. Most of the listed options are not standard
and must be purchased separately.
3.19 LS-10 Load Shelf
This option is used as a support shelf for the product to avoid the bag from prematurely tearing off at the
perforation when the product is inserted in the bag. The Load Shelf allows the product to drop onto the
shelf relieving the pressure on the bottom of the bag. See Figure 3-7.
To turn ON the load shelf, press the <Load Shelf> menu option and press the <ON> button. The Load
Shelf down time is the length of time the shelf is in the down position. Increase the time for longer bags.
See Figure 3-8.
Note: Valve # X indicates the Valve Station number assigned to this option. Valve #0 indicates that no
valve is assigned to this option. The option will not operate unless a Valve Station number is assigned,
other than 0.
3.20 FS-10 Flat Seal Assembly
The Flat Seal Assembly option is not included in the standard T-1000 package and must be purchased
separately. Used to help decrease or eliminate wrinkles or folds when sealed, the Flat Seal Assembly can
easily be attached. For products which require a high integrity bag, for retail products, bulky products "air-
tight" packages, the Flat Seal Assembly is ideal. The Flat Seal Assembly, also called "fingersthe is ideal.
