Page 13: Installation
Installation 13 Installation Lift the machine up and off of the shipping pallet. CAUTION! The EM series L-sealer is heavy and will require a forklift, floor crane, or several people to move safely off the shipping pallet. Use proper equipment when lifting the L-sealer and ensure it is secure and will not shift while being moved off the shipping pallet. - Page 14 14 Installation For units equipped with a takeaway conveyor at the exit of the L-sealer, provision should be made for exiting packages. For example, a table or bin where packages that have been sealed will be placed until they can be picked up, or a conveyor that will move them to the tunnel.

Page 16: Film Unwinder
16 Operation Film Unwinder Product Tray The product tray is the adjustable metal platform used to separate the film and to facilitate insertion of the product between the bottom and top layers of film. The product tray is adjustable to achieve proper depth equal to the total width of the package, thereby allowing the product to be placed precisely at the center-fold of the film each time. -
Page 17: Sequence Of Operation
Operation 17 product and film into the sealing area. Do not place product in the first few bags formed by the sealer: they will not have any perforation holes in them (because the sealer and pin perforator work together). Perforation is required to allow air to vacate when the product passes through the shrink tunnel. - Page 18 18 Operation • While the magnets are holding the seal head down, it is not necessary to wait. Prepare the next item to be sealed, placing it on the product tray between upper and lower layers of film. 4. Once the seal is formed completely, the seal head automatically releases. The sealed product is removed by the takeaway conveyor, and the next item can be moved into position for sealing.

Page 19: Adjustments
Adjustments 19 Adjustments Element Pulse Switch Adjustment The sealing cycle should not begin until the seal head is within one-quarter-inch (¼”) or less of the film to be sealed. If the magnets energize before the head is within one- quarter-inch of the film, loosen the locknut and turn the screw (located at the rear of the side seal bar) up slightly (counter-clockwise as viewed from above). -

20 Adjustments 5. Go to the rear of the L-sealer. Make sure the head cylinder is straight from front to back. Pull the air cylinder bracket the full length of the air cylinder. Tighten the -inch set screws. 6. Cycle the seal head up and down. Adjust set screws on head return cylinders for proper head speed and cushion. -

Page 23: Wire Belt Repair Splicing
Maintenance 23 Replacing the Takeaway Conveyor Motor NOTE: This procedure requires an Allen or hex wrench, and a 7/16-inch box-end wrench. 1. Disconnect the L-sealer power plug from the electrical power source. 2. Disconnect wires # 14 and # 16 from inside the panel and pull them out. Note the color of wires and where they are connected. - Page 24 24 Maintenance Before you begin splicing • Release all belt tensioning mechanisms. • If installing a new belt, thread the belt onto the conveyor. - Check to be sure that the smooth side is “up.” - Check to be sure that the edge loops curve back in the direction opposite the direction of belt travel.
- Page 25 Maintenance 25 Far Edge Near Edge 5. Insert the strand ends into the center space of the opposite edge. (Space 3 in the illustration below.) 6. Pull the ends of the strand through until the center section “pops” or “locks” into place.
- Page 26 26 Maintenance Step 2 – Weave the strand to one side 1. Bend one end of the wire up and insert it around the z-bend in the next space on the edge of the wire closest to you. (Space 5 in the following illustration.) Always try to avoid bending the wire in the z-bend.
- Page 27 Maintenance 27 Step 3 – Weave the strand to the other side 1. Repeat the steps in Step 2, going in the opposite direction, weaving to the other side edge of the belt as shown in the following illustrations. 2. If you are installing a new belt, you are finished splicing. Step 4 –...
