affect the required seal time. If adjusting pressure or temperature, test various seal times until satisfied with the
seal quality.
E.
Reverse
The distance the bag reverses can be set to cause the perforation to break between the bags. For wider bags, the
reverse distance may need to be increased. A typical setting is 1".
F.
Blow Off
A blow off tube is provided to decrease the possibility of bags sticking to the PTFE. Increase the blow off time if
bags are not falling from the machine. Typically, the blow off time is set to .15 to .25 seconds.
G.
Index Speed
Bag feeding (index) speed can be set to improve production. If bags are prematurely breaking at the perforation,
reduce the index speed. For shorter bags, the speed can be significantly decreased (to 10"/Sec, for instance). The
typical setting is between 15 and 25" per second.
H.
Seal Temperature
Electrical current is pulsed to the heater element to maintain a constant temperature. Waiting LED is displayed if
the temperature is not within the set range. The typical temperature is setting is between 360°F and 440°F (182°C
to 226°C) depending on film thickness.
3.8 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 Figure 3 - 5 and
Figure 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 Specialized Maintenance
Personnel.
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, greater than 0.
The following sections describe the settings for optional
equipment. 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.
Setting changes require testing prior to beginning
production.
Due to specialized nature of some options or if your machine has custom programming, settings descriptions may
not be included in this manual. Please contact Advanced Poly for special instructions.
