MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL INTRODUCTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The MPS6100 series machines are rotary continuous band sealers for the sealing of any heat sealable bag or pouch. The MPS Series utilizes variable speed, pressure, and heating, as well as constant cooling for quality sealing. Configuration of the sealer can be set for either horizontal or vertical use.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY To reduce any risk of damage during shipping, the MPS6100 machines are securely packed in three separate sections that need to be assembled. The three sections are the sealing head (consisting of the head and rails), the stand stem, and the stand base.
CAUTION: This assembly weighs in total over 28 kilograms, please use a minimum of two people to remove this from the box and to mount in its final position. UNCRATING THE MPS6100 SERIES 1) Open the box then remove the first layer of plastic wrap and foam to uncover the head and rails.
MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL Upper Support Upper Support (Horizontal pos) Locking Bolts Control Box Mounting Bracket Lower Support FIGURE - 5 HMI FEATURES The MPS series machines have many settings and features that allow the user to adjust seal quality, select pre-determined seal setups (called recipes), configure machine operation, run diagnostics, and view alarm codes.

MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL FIGURE - 6 FIGURE - 6 1) CURRENT USER: shows the current user logged on to the machine. This is part of the top banner shown on all menus. “Operator” is the default user and has limited capabilities in selections. The “Operator” can choose recipes, stop and start the machine, and view diagnostics and alarms.
Page 18
MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL 4) STOP: stops the machine control circuit, turning off the sealer motor, heater cartridges, and other options installed, if available. This has the same functionality as pressing the e-stop. If the e-stop is pressed, it must be disengaged by pulling and simultaneously twisting clockwise.
OPERATION GETTING STARTED 1) If the MPS6100 has been shipped without a power cord it is the responsibility of the owner to source and purchase a compatible power cord based on the criteria provided below. a. IEC 60320 compliant.

4.4. Once the speed and heating zones have reached their set values, the sealer is ready for operation. 8) To put your MPS6100 in cool down mode, simply press the “Cool Down” icon on the left margin. The status bar will say “sealer is cooling down” and the sealer motor and fans will continue to run with the heaters turned off until the sealing bars reach the set cool down temperature (see maintenance manual).
MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL ADJUSTING THE HEAD ORIENTATION The sealing head for the MPS6100 may be set either at 0 or 90° to the horizontal. To move the orientation of the sealing head from vertical to horizontal position, the sealing head must first be removed.
MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL FIGURE - 9 ADJUSTING THE HEAD HEIGHT The sealing head height is easily adjusted via the crank mechanism on the stand. To increase the head height, rotate the wheel on top of the stand. See Figure 3 for location of the hand wheel on the stand.
MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL Pressing “Save” will save any modifications done to the seal parameters to the active recipe. Modifications can only be done while logged in as “Technician”. See maintenance manual for procedure. Only authorized personnel should adjust the seal parameters. FIGURE - 9 ADJUSTING SEALING AND COOLING BAR PRESSURE To adjust the sealing and cooling bar pressure the in-feed rail must be lowered.
MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL PROPER BAG FEEDING Feed the leading edge of the bag into the machine and lightly hold onto the trailing edge of the bag to avoid any bunching or creasing of the material. The bottom of the rails can be used as a guide for the closest position of the product inside the bag to the sealing section.
MISPLACED LIQUIDS The MPS6100 is not waterproof and should not have liquids of any kind placed on the equipment at any time. STANDING ON THE MACHINE The MPS6100 series is a physically stable design however by no means should one attempt to stand or rest on any part of the machine.
MPS6100 OPERATION MANUAL SEALING OVER FILLED BAGS The MPS6100 is not designed to have over filled bags or obstruct objects fed through the conveying or sealing sections of the machine. The product in the bag being sealed must remain below the in-feed rail at all times. Only have the bag itself should be fed through, failure to comply will result in damage to the machine and a void warranty.

MPS6100 MAINTENANCE MANUAL MACHINE SETUP AND CONFIGURATION LOGGING IN AS TECHNICIAN All settings regarding sealing parameters and configuration require the user to log in as “Technician” to avoid any possible deletion or modification of important data. To log in as “Technician”, click on the “Current user” icon. The login screen will pop-up on the HMI as shown in Figure 1.
MPS6100 MAINTENANCE MANUAL FIGURE - 2 CONFIGURATIONS Pressing the “Config” icon on the right margin opens the configurations screen shown in Figure 3. From this screen the user can adjust machine settings, sealing parameters, parameter units, and machine option settings. If an embosser or VGF has been purchased with the machine see their respective manuals for operation and setup procedure.
Page 32
MPS6100 MAINTENANCE MANUAL FIGURE - 4 If the “Temperature Parameters” icon is pressed, Figure 5 will be shown. As shown in parameter setup, the set value is the desired operating value while the actual value is the current temperature of the heating zone. The deviation value is the allowable tolerance on the actual value to the set value before the sealer deviation alarm activates.
MPS6100 MAINTENANCE MANUAL FIGURE - 6 CREATING AND MANAGING RECIPES Pressing the “Recipe” icon on the right margin opens the recipe selection screen shown in Figure 7. From this screen recipes can be loaded, saved and created. File management of all saved recipes can also be done from this screen.

VGF for their setup procedure. The MPS6100 machines only have the option of manual manipulation of pressure via spring-loaded pressure plates attached to the seal and cooling bars, hence, pressure parameters are unavailable.
This allows the service technician to dump all of the recent system, software, hardware and alarm history on a USB to send to the OEM for further analysis. This should be done if there are issues with the machine that cannot be easily fixed or when Plexpack technical support has requested it.
REMOVED and in the possession of the service technician at all times. HEATING BAR COOLING TIME The heating bars of the MPS6100 operate between 120°C and 200°C (250-400°F) which can cause serious burns if touched by the service technician. Table 2 below shows average cooling times from the maximum temperature of 200°C over a time lapse of ten...
MPS6100 MAINTENANCE MANUAL TIME TEMPERATURE (minutes) (°C) TABLE - 1 OPENING THE CONTROL BOX The control box must be opened to perform certain maintenance procedures. This procedure must always be followed in order to reduce the risk of injury to the service technician.
MPS6100 MAINTENANCE MANUAL LOWERING THE IN-FEED RAILS The in-feed rails containing the product conveying belts must be lowered to perform certain maintenance procedures on the machine. This procedure must be followed in order to prevent damage to the machine and injury to the service technician. The rails of the MPS7000 may only be lowered while the machine is in a de-energized locked out state, follow procedure 3.1.
MPS6100 MAINTENANCE MANUAL RAISING THE IN-FEED RAILS If the in-feed rails have been lowered to perform maintenance it will be necessary to raise them once finished. Simply reverse the procedure shown in section 3.4 to raise the rails back into position. If the drive pulleys or gears have rotated while the in-feed rails have been lowered it will be necessary to rotate the toothed rail pulley using its drive pins to match the floating coupling located directly underneath the rubberized drive pulley.
MPS6100 MAINTENANCE MANUAL ADJUSTING THE SEALING AND COOLING BAR PRESSURE To adjust the sealing and cooling bar pressure, please follow this procedure. 1) The machine must first be locked out, follow procedure 3.1 2) There is exposure to hot surfaces if the machine is not cooled down properly, please follow procedure 3.2.
REPLACING TEFLON BANDS Plexpack Teflon bands are available on a 24-hour turn-around basis. Contact your dealer or the Plexpack service group at +1-416-291-8085 1) It is necessary to follow the lockout procedure 3.1, and be aware of section 3.2 which states the cooling times of the sealing bars before continuing.
