PREFACE This manual covers the options and features of the 2200SS (Side Seal). Appendix “A” is the definition of terms. Since these terms may vary from person to person, our definition is listed for reference. Whenever a CAUTION or a WARNING is displayed in the manual, observe the warning given.

Installation of 2200SS Machine Read entire manual before operating. Qualified personnel with working knowledge of the TEXWRAP 2200SS should perform installation of a TEXWRAP 2200SS machine. There are rapidly moving parts so observe safety–warning stickers and keep hands clear of moving parts. Qualified personnel should install all electrical and pneumatic hookups.
III. MACHINE CONTROLS & LOCATIONS All of the machine controls can be broken down into two general areas; the manual controls and the display. All 2200SS machines share the same set of manual controls, with only one exception. The main speed potentiometer is not present on the 2200SS since the machine speed is controlled in the touch screen display.
Touch Screen Display The touch screen display is where most of machine controls and settings are located. After turning on the machine power, the following screen will be displayed. #.## BELT SPEED FT /MIN COUNTER RESET PRODUCTS/MINUTE ##.### MACHINE NEXT PRODUCT MANUAL SET-UP...

IV. MACHINE SET UP (Cont’d) Adjust the endseal opening crank (labeled B) so that the bottom pad of the endseal is slightly below the surface of the conveyor, the product should also clear under the top bar of the endseal. Adjust the film inverting head to product height using the crank on top of the infeed conveyor.
Loading/Routing Film To load the film, follow the steps below. Also refer to film threading diagram on the next page to assist in loading film. Note: All instructions will assume you are standing to the front of the machine. Load the Centerfolder with film. Refer to FF2200SS Centerfolder Instructions for more details. With both halves of the film still together, loop the film over the topmost roller of the film stand.
Next press the “AUTOSPACE ON/OFF” button. The Auto Space feature is now on. It will stay on until the buttons are pressed again. To optimize the autospace feature turn infeed percent to 10 Film Registration Now available. Please call Texwrap technical support for further instructions at 1-800-886-7421.
VI. ENHANCING PERFORMANCE 2200 By adjusting certain settings in the machine, the performance (measured in products per minute) can be increased in some cases up to 15 to 20 packages per minute. The 2200 has a feature allowing an operator to adjust all the machine settings, which maximize performance. This feature can be reached by pressing the “MACHINE SETTING”...
VIII. TUNING SIDE SEAL BLADE/ROLLER SYSTEM Sideseal backup rollers will last approximately 40 hours of machine run time. They can be flipped 180 degrees for another 40 hours of operation. This is a quick operation. Adjust the seal height adjustment crank until the entire sideseal backup roller is visible above the conveyor.
IX. CONVEYOR BELT TRACKING A daily glance at the three conveyor belts for proper tracking is recommended. Sometimes a change in product size or weight can cause shifts in belt tracking. If any of the three belts has drifted to the edge of the conveyor, adjustments are necessary.
X. MAINTENANCE To prevent excessive down time and costly repairs a maintenance schedule should be kept (sample below). The most crucial part being the daily wipe downs. Some films, do to the way they are processed, leave residue on the inside rollers. By keeping the belts clean, the buildup on the rollers will be substantially less.
