1808-D Heater roll will heat until any of the following conditions are met. Power supply interrupted Heater roll selector is in the “O” off position Emergency stop pushbutton depressed Discharge cover is opened In-feed gate is displaced Circuit breaker is in tripped (open) condition Fuses opened due to short circuit and/or over-current Conveyor will operate until any of the following conditions are met.
The Model 1808-D Tray Sealer is designed to heat seal film to paperboard and thermoplastic trays at speeds of up to 25 trays per minute. The machine can be operated wherever an adequate power outlet is available (see power requirements).

1808-D OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Conveyor motion can be stopped at any time by lowering the operating handle or pushing the E-Stop Pushbutton (Emergency only). The E-Stop button will also turn off power to heaters. Under normal operating conditions, conveyor is stopped by Lowering Operating Handle.

1808-D The speed control knob is used to adjust the machine speed by turning clockwise to a higher number for higher speed and counter clockwise to a lower number for lower speed. Before you are ready to run production, turn the Heated Roll “ON/OFF” ( I/O) switch to the “ON”...
Page 15
1808-D (“OPERATINTING THE MACHINE “ CONTINUED The conveyor can be run while the heated roll “ON/OFF” switch is in the “OFF” position. This allows for cleaning the conveyor without having the heat seal on. It is also a good idea to unplug the machine when it will not be used for a lengthy period of time.
Page 16
1808-D (“OPERATING THE MACHINE” CONTINUED Filled trays are manually placed in the conveyor of the machine. Film is fed from the film supply roll which must be threaded onto the machine as illustrated on the “Film Threading Diagram” which is shown in the photo below. Pull enough film so the film can be pushed down in the gap between the tray carriers.
Page 17
1808-D The machine is started by lifting the operating handle and pressing the START “I” pushbutton. This should be done in a swift manner which allows the heat seal roll to come into contact with the tray and film quickly, as the conveyor starts moving. This procedure prevents voids in the seal area during and stopping.
Page 18
1808-D After a few sealed trays have come off the end of the machine, check to see if the film is centered from side to side on the trays. If it is not, the film roll needs to be moved to one side or the other on the film mandrel.
Page 19
1808-D As the trays come off the end of the machine, they are fed out of the tray carriers onto the discharge table. This table can be adjusted in and out and, up and down. These adjustments are shown in the photo below.
1808-D CLEANING PROCEDURES WARNING DISCONNECT FROM POWER BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING. CAUTION This is not a wash-down machine! Do not directly spray any area of this machine. Clean machine areas by using only a damp rag or damp plastic scouring pad.
Page 21
1808-D TRAY CARRIER (CUTOFF) CHANGE PROCEDURES WARNING DISCONNECT FROM POWER BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING. CAUTION Only remove approximately one infeed section of the tray carriers at one time. Removing all the tray carriers and advancing the conveyor can cause severe damage to the machine.
Page 22
1808-D Changing to a tray carrier set with the same cutoff as the previous set Step 1. Remove the existing tray carrier set while at the same time installing the new tray carrier set. Proceeding in this manner ensures that the cutter assembly will be in time with the tray carriers and will not jam on the tray carriers.
1808-D Changing to a tray carrier set with a different cutoff length than the previous set Step 1. Remove the cutter assembly. Do so by removing the hex bolt from the cutter assembly side plates on both sides of the machine. Then remove the side plates by pulling them off of the shaft.

1808-D MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES WARNING DISCONNECT FROM POWER BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING. CAUTION Only remove approximately one infeed section of the tray carriers at one time. Removing all the tray carriers and advancing the conveyor can cause severe damage to the machine.
1808-D The main drive chains are tensioned by adjusting the chain take-up units located at the in-feed end of the machine (see photo below). To tighten the chains, loosen the jam nut on the adjusting screw. Turn the adjusting nut clockwise to tighten the chains. Turn the adjusting nut ½ turn on one side of the machine and then ½...
1808-D CUTTER ASSEMBLY Check the cutter blades for sharpness and damage on a weekly basis. Replace blade(s) if necessary. The blades are easily replaced. The blades are held in place by two setscrews. Notice that the setscrews are pressing against a backer strip which in turn presses against the actual blade. The reason for this is that the blade material is very hard and if the setscrews were to press directly on the blade, the blade could possibly be cracked.

1808-D HEAT SEAL ROLL DOWN-STROKE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES NOTE Before conducting this procedure, make certain that the sleeve on the heat seal roll is clean and does not have any burnt-on food product on the surface. Put an empty tray into the machine and run the machine until the tray is under the heat seal roll and stop the machine with the tray under the roll.
Page 35
1808-D TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT WARNING ONLY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN CAN ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HEAT SEAL ROLL. If the film is not sealing securely to the trays, it might be because the temperature is too low. Temperature of the heat seal roll is set to 215 degrees Celsius at the factory. Only an authorized Service Technician can adjust the temperature of the heat seal roll.
SERIVCE ON THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. Should you experience problems with your machine, refer to the Trouble Shooting guide below. If you have attempted the remedies listed below and are still experiencing problems, contact Oliver Packaging & Equipment Company 1-800-253-3893 (USA) SYMPTOM...
Page 38
