ADJUSTMENT AND USAGE OF IMPULSE SEALER
Connect to 110V power source according to the indication label on the machine. Switch on the power, the red light will turn on. Adjust the sealing time according to the materials and the thickness of the bags to be sealed. The sealing time should be adjusted to around grade 1 before sealing. Put the opening of the bag between the heat sealers, step down on the pedal and the yellow lamp lights. Take out the sealed bag after the yellow lamp is off. If the seal is not tight enough, lengthen the sealing time. Try sealing the bag several times until it is sealed well with clearness and no wrinkles. Seal the bag at this measured time and temperature. The cooling time should not be too short, otherwise wrinkles will be the result. The longer the sealing time, the longer the cooling time.
Maintenance
Never try to seal without bags. Don’t set the sealing time to the high grade without trial of the sealing bag. Otherwise, the polymer cloth will be burned. If some plastics adheres to the polymer cloth, never try to scrape it off. Slightly reduce the sealing time and seal the bag again. Release the pedal after the yellow lamp is off. It is very important to remove the bag from one side to the other. The remains of the plastics will be cleared from the polymer cloth with the bag.
REPLACEMENT OF THE HEATER
Turn off sealer and unplug from the wall. Loosen the screws of the plate pressing the polymer cloth, roll back the cloth to expose the heater. Loosen the Bakelite boxes at both sides of the heater and take out the screws on the copper block. The heater can now be removed. Replace it with a new one. The heater should always be in tension with the function of the spring. The copper block should be replaced if it is oxidized, to ensure it has a good connection with the heater. Pay close attention when fixing the heater so that the polymer cloth below is flat (no wrinkles are allowed). The heater must have a excellent isolation. Otherwise the heater will be damaged because of the short-circuiting
REPLACEMENT OF THE POLYMER CLOTH
Turn off sealer and unplug from the wall. Remove the screws and the plates above the polymer cloth, loosen the shaft of the polymer cloth roll, pull out the cloth and cut out the burned part. Reassemble the plates and screws, tighten the roll shaft. No wrinkles are allowed in the polymer cloth, otherwise the seal quality will be affected
REPLACEMENT OF THE MICRO-SWITCH
Turn off sealer and unplug from the wall. There is one micro-switch at the side of the machine head. It must be replaced when it is damaged. The adjustment of the pressing pole for micro switch are as follows:
- Put 1mm thick carton between the upper and lower and lower pressing arms, check if the micro-switch is pressed and if there is a “click” from the switch.
- If it is not pressed, adjust down the pressing pole or tighten the nut until the switch is pressed 1-2mm down when it works.
- Always keep the sealing surface clean. Otherwise, the remains in the sealing surface will shorten the life of the heater and the life of the polymer cloth.
- When working, never try to clean the sealing surface with wet cloth.
- After long time usage, the rubber in the upper pressing arm must be checked if it is still flat and straight. Otherwise, the seal quality will be affected.
- Often add lubricating oil into the moving parts.
- All parts in the machine should not be disassembled regularly.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Causes and Solution |
|---|---|
| The seal is not good. | Lengthen the sealing time if it is not tight enough. |
Shorten the sealing time if the seal is melted or if the melted seal is
creased by not being pressed tightly.
The seal is wrinkled.|
- The problem may be overheating. In this case, shorten the sealing time.
- The problem may be insufficient time for cooling. In this case, lengthen the cooling time.
The temperature rises when working for some time.| It is normal that the
temperature of the machine rises because the unit absorbs heat during
operation. Shorten the sealing time slightly to balance the heat.
The power lamp does not light and the ealer does not work.| Check if the
power switch is on and if the fuse is damaged.
The power lamp lights but the sealing lamp is off and the sealer does not
work.| Step down on the pedal to check if the micro-switch works. Adjust if
necessary (see “REPLACEMENT OF MICRO-SWITCH).
The sealer is always electrified when the power is switched on.| Switch the
power off at once. Check the status of the micro-switch.
Adjust if necessary (see “REPLACEMENT OF MICRO-SWITCH).
