Quick Setup Procedures - Advanced Poly-Packaging Advanced Poly-Bagger T-1000-S18H Operation Manual

Locate the foot switch and plug it into the rear foot switch connector. See Figure 2-3. Press the foot switch to
index one bag through the "nip" rollers. If a foot switch is not being used, press the Manual Cycle button. One
bag should index, blow open and stop between the pressure bar and the heater bar. If the T-1000-S14 is not up to
temperature, the machine will not cycle unless the RUN / SETUP button is toggled to SETUP.
If the web of bags breaks prematurely, further adjustments will be required. See Chapter 4 for troubleshooting. If
one bag indexed through the machine, press the foot switch a few more times. Each previously indexed bag
should detach completely from the web of bags. If the bag is not indexing and/or stopping or not tearing off
properly, see Chapter 4 for troubleshooting.
Note: The web of bags may track right or left for a few feet until "settled" on the web path. The roll of bags or
the roller guide may require readjustments or realignment after the first few feet of bags are indexed.
Note: If bags were delivered with the T-1000-S14 or the bag size was known to APPI, the T-1000-S14 may be
ready to run. Therefore, very few changes to the Bagger Settings screen will be required.

2.11 Quick Setup Procedures

(Perform prior to operating the machine on a daily basis)
Considering that the machine has been setup by Maintenance Personnel, the following quick start procedures
should be followed before daily operation of the equipment.
Power off tasks (perform these tasks prior to turning on the power):
Clean the blue rubber roller, print rollers, perforation sensor, idler rollers and product contact surfaces with a
clean cotton cloth and alcohol.
Inspect the machine to ensure all guards, covers and funnels are in position.
Inspect the machine for maintenance issues and report issues such as loose or broken components, frayed wires,
etc. to maintenance personnel.
Check that the air pressure is set to 60 psi (413.68 kPa).
Power on tasks (perform these tasks after cleaning and inspecting the machine)
Threading: A threading diagram has been provided to illustrate the proper bag path through the machine. It is
recommended that the appropriate diagram be copied and mounted to the side cover of the machine.
Setup Cycle Operation: Prior to loading parts, place the bagger in the Start / Manual / Setup mode and press the
footswitch or touch the <Manl Cycle> button. Test the bag seals, seal location or other inspection requirements.
Manual Cycle Operation (if applicable): If manually loading parts, load parts into the bag ensuring all parts are
going into the bag. Toggle the machine from Setup mode to Manl mode. Press the <Manl Cycle> button on the
screen. Inspect the bag seals, seal location or appearance and continue the bagging operation.
Automatic Cycle Operation (if applicable): If loading automatically with a conveyor, counter, or scale infeed
system, ensure auxiliary equipment is turned on and press the <Manl Cycle> button to start the system. If all
equipment in the system is operating properly, toggle the machine from the Manl mode to the Auto mode.
