With the purchase of this heat sealing machine you will be able to pack a great variety of products. To use the heat sealer, Star Universal (Gosport) Ltd has ensured that all the machines, from the smallest to the largest model, fulfil the greatest demands. All the machines are built in-house to the highest standard and undergo vigorous testing, complying with all regulations.
Check with your bag/material manufacturer. SAFETY FEATURES All Star heat sealers are built to minimise risk of any injury to machine operators and anyone who can come into contact with them. The main risks involved with Star heat sealing and the safety features built into the machines are: Sprung jaw: After machine operation certain models are sprung to open.
Star 121 Handset If you wish to connect a different set of jaws or sealing head to this power pack, please contact Star Universal with the new specification and power pack serial number so we can advise compatibility. With the power pack turned off take the large 6 pin plug on the end of the cable and connect it to the socket on the back of the power pack.
Under normal operating conditions it will be necessary to replace certain expendable items that are readily available from our spares department. Use of non-Star genuine parts or the incorrect part number can cause damage to the machine and invalidate the warranty.

Element Ribbon: Remove the barrier tape as above. Place the loading pins through the expansion blocks and holes in either end of the jaw to keep the springs under compression and loosen the Allen key bolt. Remove the old ribbon. Cut a length of new element ribbon slightly longer than the jaw and fold one end back on itself by about 5mm.
THERMOCOUPLE REPLACEMENT Thermocouple: If the silicone has been replaced cut a shallow V in it just deep enough for the thermocouple wire to sit flush with the rubber, the tip/disc should be sat on top of the rubber. Place the thermocouple through the hole and fasten in place with thermocouple adhesive strip. The tip of the thermocouple should be in the centre of the silicone.
As Star Universal only build industrial equipment to individual customer requirements the responsibility for the disposal lies with the end user. Star Universal will offer a collection service for machines we have built at the end of their useful life for recycling.
