  • Page 15: Installation

    Installation 15 Installation Lift the machine up and off of the shipping pallet. CAUTION! ET Professional Series Shrink Tunnels are heavy and may require a forklift, floor crane, or several people to move the machine safely. Use proper equipment when lifting the shrink tunnel and ensure it is secure and will not shift while being moved off the shipping pallet.

  • Page 16: Location Requirements

    16 Installation Location Requirements When installing the shrink tunnel please be aware of the following considerations: 1. The surface on which it is located is flat and level. 2. Conveyor or packing table height. 3. Alignment with packaging line. When the shrink tunnel is positioned in the operating location you will need access to the control panel.

  • Page 17: Operation

    Operation 17 Operation Control Panel The control panel is located, centered near the top on one side of the tunnel. Control panel design for ET Professional Series Shrink Tunnels was enhanced to provide a blower motor speed control in 2015. For a comparison of the current control panel layout since 2015 and the control panel layout for units built pre-2015, see the following illustrations.

    Maintenance 23 Maintenance To aid in the high reliability of the shrink tunnel, inspect the machine regularly and perform maintenance as required. Disconnect electrical power before making any repairs. Be very careful when servicing or adjusting this equipment. If in doubt, stop and obtain qualified help before proceeding.

  • Page 24: Preventative Maintenance For Modular Plastic Conveyor Belts

    24 Maintenance  Check for loose fasteners. Tighten as necessary.  Check the condition of the power cord for wear, especially if it is exposed to traffic.  Check that the tunnel is able to maintain the set temperatures. If not, refer to the Adjustments Section of this User Guide for instruction.

  • Page 27: Replacing Tunnel Components

    Maintenance 27 Replacing Tunnel Components Caution! Disconnect main power source before performing any procedure to replace any tunnel component(s). Fuse replacement or electrical component replacement Major electrical components, except the conveyor motor (whose replacement procedure is provided on the previous page) and the heater bank and blower motor (whose replacement procedures are provided separately below), are located behind the fold- down electrical control panel for easy maintenance.
  • Page 28 28 Maintenance For the second option (to replace entire controller and receptacle), first take note of wire locations (make a sketch and label the wires with tape, if necessary), and then disconnect wires from the temperature controller and thermocouple. Slide the controller and receptacle out of the front of the panel.

    Maintenance 29 and replace the motor. Rotation on the blower motor needs to be counter-clockwise as viewed from the electrical inlet and hub side. Reassemble the new motor and blower wheel housing and reassemble components in the same manner in which they were disassembled.
  • Page 30 30 Maintenance Bottom Metal disks view To assemble the belt 1. Bring ends of the belt together, and aligning holes, insert metal rod through holes for the entire width of the belt. 2. Insert a plastic retainer clip into place to retain the metal rod. Use a hammer, if necessary, to gently tap the retainer clip into place.
  • Page 31 Maintenance 31 To disassemble the belt 1. Place a block under the belt and place the belt upside-down over the block, so the link to be opened is positioned close to the block. 2. Use a screwdriver to push down on the retainer clip to unseat it. 3.
