8. Theory of Operation

8.1 Description of the Working Cycle
After having closed the top fl aps of
the carton, the operator pushes it
under the top infeed end in order to
avoid the opening of the top fl aps.
Further pushing causes the two
top and bottom belts to drive the
box through the taping heads
which automatically seal the top
and bottom seams. The carton is
then expelled on the exit conveyor.
8.2 Defi nition of Running Mode
The case sealer 8000a-8000a3
has only one (automatic) operating
mode with:
- The EMERGENCY STOP
- The main switch On/Off

happens in case of electrical
failure or when the machine is
disconnected from the mains.
