SAFETY
Packaging - Commitment to Safety
Colby is committed to supplying Packaging Systems that provide a safe working environment for your company. However, safety also requires a continuous commitment from you, in the proper use, operation and maintenance of all the equipment supplied. It is important that operating and maintenance personnel be instructed in recognising hazards and relevant safety procedures. Staff should be encouraged to report any accident, no matter how minor, so that its effect on safety can be immediately assessed. The realisation that they could suffer injury is often a powerful incentive to their observance of this, but it would help if you, as the employer, can be seen to take notice of their reports and have serious faults rectified immediately. Colby recommend the Standards contained within this section be implemented and used by you.

Safety Precautions
Following is a list of recommendations for your guidance and safety. These must be adhered to at all times. Further, more specific, safety recommendations are listed at other relevant locations throughout this manual. We recommend that you incorporate the following safety precautions and this manual as part of your Companys Safety documentation system.
Read this manual completely before starting-up or operating this equipment. Serious injury and/or equipment damage could result from improper operation of this equipment and not heeding all safety recommendations Only suitably qualified and trained personnel should operate and maintain this equipment Be certain all personnel concerned with this machinery are fully alerted to the possible hazards of the equipment and its utilities (electrical & pneumatic) before any operation is allowed Determine the location of all emergency stop devices and air/power isolators (disconnects). When the air or power supply isolators are switched off a lockable hold card or similar system should be employed so that air or power is not reconnected until the equipment is in a safe and satisfactory state. Disable the machine by isolating (disconnecting) and locking air and power supply to the equipment before attempting any cleaning, maintenance or manual testing of components. Be aware that on machines that have heating devices these may be hot for some time after the power has been removed. Be sure all guards are in place and observe all warning signs. Do not remove or open guards while the machine is running

There will be occasions when the machine stops because of a fault condition. When the fault clears the machine may start again without warning. Remain well clear of the machine at all times while in operation. Never start equipment without first checking that loose objects, tools and all personnel are clear of the machinery. All personnel in the immediate area of the equipment should be alerted prior to stating. Observe extreme caution when switches are turned on and the equipment is operational. Do not attempt to beat the machine by reaching into areas where there are moving or hot parts. Ensure that the machine and all electrical equipment is free of any accumulation of water, dust or other contamination. Do not open junction boxes or control panels unless you are a qualified electrician. Be sure power is isolated. Except when electricians are performing maintenance, electrical enclosures and junction boxes should always be securely closed. The EMERGENCY STOP is a large red illuminated pushbutton-labelled EMERGENCY STOP. Some equipment is also fitted with a red emergency stop pull-wire. Both types of emergency stop devices are latching so once the emergency stop device has been activated it will remain in that state until it is reset (or unlatched) When pressed the Emergency Stop button/wire will disconnect all output control voltage. Be aware that on machines with heated surfaces these may remain hot for sometime after the Emergency Stop has been activated. Never rely on the Emergency Stop to isolate a machine. Isolation of equipment must be performed using the main air and power isolators (disconnects) Never reset the Emergency Stop if someone else has left it on. Before unlatching the Emergency Stop and restating the machine ensure that all personnel, tools and other equipment are clear of the machine and that it is in a satisfactory state to begin operation

6.1.1
The purpose of the Sapac Sealer Closer is to: Accept a bag which has been neck stretched and deaerated (usually by the Sapac Bag Presenter), into the levelling section. Level the bag top to allow re-activation further on in the machine. Clean the seal area of any contamination, which may affect seal integrity. Heat-seal the inner liner through the outer paper plys. Score the inner liner to release it from the paper outer. Compress the still plastic liner seal to ensure a hermetic seal. Cool the sealed liner (and paper) to provide a strong seal before any load is applied to it in subsequent handling after the machine. Reactivate the pre-applied hot melt adhesive and close the top stepped end of the bag. Compress the reactivated top of the bag to ensure secure adhesion to the paper.
The entire Sealer is controlled by a PLC, which provides outputs to the solenoid valves, which perform the sequencing functions. Most of these are pneumatic valves acting directly from the output. There is no pneumatic logic as such involved. The PLC also receives inputs from the various sensors on the machine which act to identify the status of the bags being processed and the overall machine status.

6.3.
Note:
While the heating zones are below their operating temperature envelope (10 units either side of set point) the Sealer Heat Alarms (red indicator lamps under each zone controller) will remain illuminated.
The sealer up to heat condition is indicated when the Zone Alarm Lamps are extinguished and the Drive/Conveyor Start/Stop illuminated push button switch may now be operated to make the machine operational.
Note:
We recommend that whenever the Sealer Heat Switch is selected to ON (after having been switched off) that a Seal/Closure test be carried out on an empty bag prior to full line start-up.
While performing the above seal test, a good opportunity exists to check that the Sealer Carrier Belt speed is synchronised with the conveyor speed below i.e. as the test bag leaves the leveller section, keep a visual check on the bag bottom speed compared to the conveyor speed. Should the carrier belt speed appear to need adjustment, refer to Operator Adjustments below.
Page 3 of 8
1492LS09.DOC
Note:
Precise synchronisation can not be achieved in one adjustment, however as long as relative speeds are close enough, fine tuning can be achieved during normal running.
Page 4 of 8
1492LS09.DOC
Note:
1.
It is important that the right size bags are in use for the product being packed ie. If the bag is too small, then there will not be enough head space (above the product) for the bag to be transported through the machine which will result in regular jam-ups and/or bag damage. Similarly if the bags are too big, then this could cause the bag to entrap unwanted air above the product resulting in unstable pallet stacks.
2.
The nominal headspace requirement prior to neck stretching between product and bag top is 250mm (10 inch).
Page 5 of 8
1492LS09.DOC
Note:
Final operating height is obviously dictated by the ease of passage of filled bags through the machine.
The Sealer can now be started up again and the test bag can be driven through the machine in the normal manner.
Prior to switching on the packing machine and going to full line automation the following requirements should be checked according to preceding information.
Note:
Page 6 of 8
1492LS09.DOC
Is the bag the right size for the product being packed? Yes Is the Sealer set to the right operating height? Yes Are the carrier belts synchronised with the bag conveyors? Yes Are the heating zones up to temperature? Yes Has a satisfactory seal test been done since the machine was last shut down? Yes Is the downline equipment all active so that line control interlocks are operational?

Line Start-Up Check List cont Provided that the Sealer/Line preparation has been carried out as per preceding pages, when filled, the Neck Stretched deaerated bags will enter the Sealer Carrier Belt nip pulleys and be gripped by the carrier belts and fed up to the Bag Stop Arm. The Levelling Clamp Rollers will quickly separate the drive belts and immediately drive down the bag top until the leveller photo-eyes are uncovered. The Bag Stop Arm will now withdraw allowing the Bag to proceed through the machine and on down the line.
Note:
The following Sections 8, 9, & 10 outline the mechanical adjustments that may be necessary from time to time for fine tuning the machines performance.

CONTROL SYSTEM
Introduction
The Sealer/Closer control system is arranged in three sections - the HIGH Voltage control section, the LOW Voltage control section and the Operators Control Panel/ Cabinet. The HIGH Voltage section of the Control System is located in a lockable electrical cabinet which is fitted with a mains ISOLATOR/DISCONNECT, for isolation of all power to the machine. The thermal overloads, fuses and power contactors that control the motors in the field are also located in this cabinet. The frequency drive that controls the Sealer Drive and the switching contactors for the Sealer/Conveyor motors are located in the high Voltage cabinet. All precautions stated by the frequency drive manufacturer must be observed when working on any Variable Frequency drive. In the LOW Voltage section of the Control System is the Allen Bradley 500 programmable Logic Controller. All LOW Voltage Control is accomplished using 24 Volts AC. All control switches and outputs are on 24 Volts AC supply while inputs, some lamps and temperature controller outputs, are on 24 Volts or less DC supply. The function of the PLC is to monitor various control switches and field sensors and with the use of the Ladder Logic, sequence the machine in a logical and safe manner. Since any automated machinery is totally reliant on the feedback from the various switches and sensors, it is important that these are not tampered with in any way and that they are checked and maintained on a regular basis. The switches and sensors may only be adjusted by a qualified Technical Engineer. There are basically four main sections of control: the Leveller, Cleaner, Heating and Closing sections. Refer CAL 3200 Temperature Controller Operation, in the Appendix, for setup procedure on the Heating Sections.
After Power Off, it is possible for the Variable Frequency Drive to have dangerous residual voltages present for up to 30 minutes. Extreme care must be exercised when working with Variable Frequency Drives. For total isolation of mains supply to the system, the lockable Mains Isolator located on the Electrical Cabinet must be turned off and locked for total safety.

Emergency Stop Latching Mushroom Button Switch (Red) The Emergency Stop switch is an illuminated large mushroom button labelled EMERGENCY STOP and is provided to allow the machine to be stopped immediately in the event that injury to personnel or damage to componentry is imminent. When this button is pressed, all machine control voltage is aborted without delay, thus power is removed from all control P.L.C. outputs. The EMERGENCY STOP button is self latching when pressed and must be pulled out to release. Extreme care must be exercised to ensure that all personnel are clear of the machine before releasing the EMERGENCY STOP button. A red indicator integrated in the button is illuminated whenever the EMERGENCY STOP is activated. NEVER release the EMERGENCY STOP if someone else has left it latched on. Once you have activated the EMERGENCY STOP button, ALWAYS check with all other personnel working on the machine before releasing it, and then make them aware that the machine has been returned to its normal operating conditions, ready for start-up.
7.2.3.
Sealer Heat OFF/ON Selector Switch (Black) The Sealer Heater Selector Switch is a plain maintained two position switch which, when switched to ON, allows the Temperature Controllers to bring the heating zones up to set-point temperature via main contactor No.4 in the High Voltage section of the main control cabinet.
7.2.4.
Closer Heat OFF/ON Selector Switch (Black) The Closer Heat Selector switch is also a plain maintained two position switch which, when selected to ON, interacts with the Closer Air Pressure switch (via P.L.C. output) to allow the Closer heating zone to come up to set point temperature by switching Main

Seal Heat and Closer Alarm Indicator Lamps (Red) The Heat Alarm indicator lamps are powered by incandescent bulbs via the Temperature Controller alarm outputs which are programmed to give both over and under temperature conditions.
7.2.6.
Bag Sealer Cleaner OFF/ON Selector Switch (Orange) The Bag Seal Cleaner switch is a two position illuminated selector which when switched to the OFF position negates the Bag Liner seal area cleaning operating via the P.L.C. Ladder Logic programme. When turned to the OFF position the selector switch illuminates its indicating lamp so as to draw the operators attention to the fact that the Sealers normal operating attitude has been comprised.
7.2.7.
Cleaner Error/Batch Complete Indicator Lamp (Orange) The Cleaner Error indicator lamp doubles as the Batch Complete indicator i.e. when indicating a Cleaner Error the incandescent bulb flashes from OFF to ON and is simultaneously accompanied by an audio alarm. When indicating the Batch Complete Condition the incandescent bulb is illuminated steady accompanied by a continuous audio alarm for a 5 second period.
7.2.8.
Sealer Height Up/Down Selector Switch (Black) When fitted, the Height Up/Down switch is a mid-position off, three position switch with one momentary contact each for the up and down travel of the Sealer Spine. When operated in either position main Contactor No.s 8 or 9 are energised to operate the geared motor attached to the top of the machine pedestal.
7.2.9.
Bag Top Closer Flap Up/Down Selector Switch (Orange) The Bag Top Closer Flap switch is a two position illuminated selector which when selected to UP, lifts the flap via solenoid valve and pneumatic cylinder. Its purpose is to prevent the re-activation of the pre-applied glue at the bag top OR to avoid folding over the top of the bag when one bag is being put through the machine repetitively after each subsequent seal has been cut-off the bag top for inspection. When the switch is turned OFF, its indicator lamp illuminates continuously. The purpose of this is to indicate that the normal operating attitude of the machine has been compromised.

Clamp Cylinders and Levelling Roller Operation Assuming Bag Presentation (Section 6.3.3) requirements, in Startup and Operation Section have been met. The incoming bag operates the No.2 photo-eye which initiates the Levelling Sequence as follows: Leveller rollers clamp onto the bag separating the Infeed carrier belts. Leveller motors wind down the bag top until photo-eye beams transmit across the top of the bag. Bag stop arm retracts and the Leveller Rollers simultaneously unclamp enabling the Infeed carrier belts to grip the bag. Together with the Sealer Conveyor, the Infeed carrier belts transport the bag into the Cleaning Section carrier belt nip.
Figure 8.1.2
Page 2 of 5
1492LS09.DOC
Note:
The clamp cylinders should operate at full speed thus ensuring repeatability. Failure to do so can result in the in-coming bags to topple in one direction or the other. See TROUBLE SHOOTING Section 14 for fault finding.
8.1.3
Levelling/Bar Too Low Photo Cell Care For correct functioning of the leveller, ensure that the photo cells are kept clean. Powder build-up on their faces will reduce efficiency.
Note:
Air jets are mounted below each photocell which blow clean dry air across their faces to reduce powder build up. These jets should always be directed at the red light emitting from the photocell.
To clean the photocell properly, it is necessary to remove the 2 x M6 cap screws and lift the plate and photocell assembly clear of the dust extraction chamber. It is advisable to mark the position (centreline of the photocell) on the front of the guide to which it is bolted. Once cleaned, it can then be reinstalled at the same height.
Note:
Care should be taken to ensure that the reinstalled photocell has a clear line of vision through the hole in the front guide bar. If it is misaligned or over sensitive it may occasionally pick up the edge of this hole, and cause erratic operation.
Partial cleaning of the photocell can sometimes be achieved without removing it. This can be done with a warm damp cloth through the holes in the guide bars. This is only an interim solution, and thorough cleaning should take place once production pressures permit.
8.1.4
Bag Too Low/Bag Length Photo Cell This photo cell, closest to the infeed, is positioned slightly lower than the low bag accept label and the levelling photo cells. It serves two purposes: 1. To reject bags that have entered to low. 2. To auto track the bag width in conjunction with the encoder. This allows the sealer to monitor width changes.
Page 3 of 5
1492LS09.DOC
This enables us to auto tune/adjust the following: Bag central in leveller. Cleaner entry and exit from bag time. Reactivating flap auto raise and lower time. Bag central at tuner.
8.2.
Cleaner Section
8.2.1 Cleaner Operation The purpose of the cleaner is to clean the seal area prior to heat sealing. Good quality seals can only be obtained if there is no contamination in the seal area. refer to Diagram 8.2.1. Clean unlubricated air is used for this purpose. This air supply is filtered by the pure-air filter (Norgren 64 Series also used in the air heater on the Reactivation Station). Further details on the Air Service Equipment are in the Pneumatics Section 13. The cleaner section also incorporates a dust collection duct which when connected to the dust extraction mains, draws away any air borne dust blown from the seal area. The dust extraction is controlled by a pneumatically actuated butterfly valve which is only open when there is a bag in the cleaner section. When a bag enters the cleaner section, the cleaning cycle is initiated as follows: The bag opener cylinder retracts and pivots the vacuum cup onto the face of the bag. Vacuum is applied to this cup via a pilot operated pneumatic valve. Once the vacuum cup has adhered to the bag, the bag opener cylinder extends to pull away the front half of the bag from the rear half, thus forming an envelope for the cleaner probe to swing into. The cleaner probe swings down into the bag. The cleaner probe Air Jets blast away powder contamination from the liner seal area. The cleaner probe swings up just in time to clear the trailing edge of the bag.

HEAT SEALING
Seal Heating 9.1.1. The Heating Zones
Heat sealing takes place immediately after seal cleaning. There are three individually controlled heating zones on the Model 41A machines. These are Zones 1-3, each zone comprising of 2 front and 2 rear heating dies. Typical zone heat up time form ambient (12-18 degrees Celsius) to a setpoint of 225 degrees Celsius is 8-10 minutes.
9.1.2.
Note:
As there is only one temperature probe (thermocouple) into one of the four dies per zone, failure of 1 or more of the remaining 3 dies to heat up will not be shown on the temperature controller readout.

9.2.
Note:
Too much pressure from the compression wheels will thin the molten plastic in the seal section and leave a weakened and ineffective seal. Too little pressure will result in an ascetically unacceptable or barely adequate seal.
The correct compression pressure will result in a seal that will have an even opaque appearance. Too much compression pressure can be observed as holes through the seal wherever the highest pressure points are, e.g. coinciding with Kraft seams. Too little pressure can be observed as a mottled pattern of clear and opaque patches along the seal section.
Note:
Although seal compression is an integral aspect of seal quality, it must not be forgotten that the biggest contributor to seal qualify is sealing temperature which can be effected by machine speed and cleaner efficiency.

Note:
Scoring wheel gap is critical for good seal quality and long life of components. For standard 4 ply tubular bag, the recommended gap is 0.020 inch to 0.024 inch (0.5mm to 0.6mm). This can vary with bags of differing construction whether this be the number of plys or P.E. liner type.

Seal Compression/Scoring Wheel Adjustment -Use a FEELER GAUGE or SHIM to set the gap.
To Adjust:
1. Loosen the 4 x M8 cap screws which clamp the assembly (1). It may be necessary to also loosen the two adjacent M8 cap screws (1) which clamp the Scoring Wheel. Both PUSH (close gap) (3) adjusters AND PULL (open gap) (2) adjusters are provided. The push adjusters are 2 x M6 grub screws (3) and pull adjuster is a single M6 cap screw (2). Feeler gaugers or shims should be used to set the gap.

Operator Adjustments
Should the factory fold guide adjustment be disturbed, due to disassembly for cleaning or similar, it is necessary to reset them as follows: refer Figure 10.1. 1. The Bag Top Closer flap is first raised via the Operators Control Panel.
2. Part the final drive carrier belts with an engineers steel rule (or
similar) and position alternative at the infeed and exit (parallel) ends of the Rear Fold Guide (R.F.G.).
Note:
Care must be taken when parting the carrier belts as no responsibility is assumed by Sapac Developments for carrier belt damage.
Page 1 of 7
1492LS09.DOC
If the R.F.G. does not line up with and touch, the inserted rule at both infeed and exit ends; (i.e. the R.F.G. is not parallel to and above the centre line of the bag path) then adjustment may be necessary.
4. The front fold guide (F.F.G.) is set off the R.F.G. (when in correct
To set the F.F.G. loosen the four (4) M6 hold down bolts along the front of the F.F.G. CAUTION: If the Bag top Closer assembly is hot, particular care is advised when loosening the two (2) M6 bolts located under the Air Heater / Plenum Chamber. Gap set the F.F.G. 3mm (1/8 inch) away from the R.F.G. for a standard 3 or 4 ply bag of flat tube construction. Re-tighten the four (4) M6 bolts when adjustment is satisfactory.
Note:
Should bag construction be other than that above, the rule of thumb for gap setting is as follows: Bag thickness measured at thickest point by micrometer or vernier x 2 1/4 = gap setting (initial).
5. With the Closer Flap still raised, manually feed an empty bag into
the machine and observe its passage through the fold guides. When the gap set is satisfactory the Bag Top Closer adjustment can be carried out as follows: with the B.T.C.F. still in the up position manually feed into the machine an empty bag and stop the said bag when it is positioned about centrally in the closer assembly. To stop the machine, operate the Drive/Conv START/STOP button on the operators control panel.
Should the test bag (5 above) hesitate or snag at any point during its passage, through the fold guides the gap set at the point of snagging should be increased to avoid same.
Note:
6. By hand, fold the bag top over the F.F.G. so it is lying horizontally above the plenum chamber. 7. Via the Bag Top Closer Flap UP/DOWN switch (operators control panel) lower the B.T.C.F. and check that it does not pinch the bag top fold directly on top of the F.F.G.
Page 2 of 7
1492LS09.DOC
Page 3 of 7
1492LS09.DOC
Note:
While there must obviously be enough clearance between the B.T.C.F. and the top of the F.F.G. it is desirable that this clearance be the minimum amount required to allow free passage of the bag since this adjustment is arguably the most critical for producing a parallel fold.
9. The final closure fold is also a function of the B.T.C.F. adjustment. This final fold adjustment is carried out at the B.T.C.F. hinge on the outfeed end of the said flap. So that the final fold follows the original first fold crease, the gap between the diagonally positioned B.T.C.F. rod (see Figure 10.1) and the F.F.G. must be set to about 1 the micrometer or vernier measured bag thickness. 10. To carry out the adjustment as in 9 above, with the B.T.C.F. down loosen the M6 bolt which attaches the B.T.C.F. to its hinge bar and move the flap in or out depending on whether a smaller or greater gap is required.

10.1.3.
Note:
The pressure switch is set to raise the CLOSER AIR alarm if the pressure is below 15 psi (trip pressure). The air heater will not switch on below this trip pressure. This reduces the possibility of element burn out due to insufficient air flow.
The pressure regulator is a low pressure type, and has a maximum pressure output of 25 to 30 psi. This maximum pressure can therefore not be exceeded. Layout details of the pneumatics concerned with this station are contained later in this section.

11. CONVEYOR
11.1. Introduction
The Sealer Conveyor is a standard Sapac build unit and its primary function is to accept bags from the Packing Machine and feed them through the Neck Stretcher and Sealer Closer. The Conveyor speed is fixed and thus the Sealer speed requires synchronising with same. See Section 6.3.2 for a description of this process. The Conveyor head, tail and tension rollers are of an open cage design, running in flange bearings. The belt is standard width and is driven as per specifications below. For belt tensioning and tracking instruction refer to the maintenance section (Section 14.13) .

13. PNEUMATICS
13.1. Pneumatic Lubrication (For machines with airline lubrication)
As the manufacturers of the Sapac Sealer Closer, Sapac, together with our pneumatic equipment suppliers feel that we should point out the benefits of proper lubrication of the pneumatic prime movers, ie. the pneumatic actuators. With proper lubrication the above mentioned actuator seals can travel at least 3000km without attention. Quote ex Applied Pneumatics International Journal, Volume 11, November 1987, page 12. "At regular intervals we take a cylinder at random from the production line and test the seals to destruction. During the course of these tests, the piston will travel the equivalent of from our factory to Barcelona and back, which means in service you can expect our cylinders to travel at least 3000km without attention". Further we quote from the British Compressed Air Society Code of Practice: "The importance of correct lubrication of pneumatic equipment cannot be over stressed. It decreases friction, reduces wear and prevents corrosion of the moving parts. The most efficient and economical method to lubricate pneumatic equipment is to introduce the oil in droplet form into the air stream. As a general rule use 1 drop of oil (0.02 millilitre approximately) to each 280 dm3 (10 cu ft) of air consumed".
Note:
To put the above into context it is important to qualify it by identifying information as being pertinent to the Oil-Fog type Lubricators only. All Sapac equipment uses Micro-Fog Lubricators. Guidelines for their operational adjustment follows.
The Micro-Fog lubricator passes into its airflow only a small percentage of the oil seen dripping through the sight dome. Because only the finer particles are picked up by this air flow, a drip rate of 10 to 20 times higher than the oil-fog unit described above, will be set when adjusting the Micro-Fog design.
Note:
This gives a recommended minimum drip rate of 10 drops (0.20 millilitre approximately) to each 280 dm3 (10 cu ft) of air consumed. Actual application may vary from this amount but it is a good starting point. Recommended drop rate is 1 drop per 7 machine cycles.
It can therefore be readily seen that lubrication rates need to be referenced to air consumption figures.
13. Pneumatics
Page 1 of 9
1492LS09.DOC
Standard pneumatic lubricating oil (mineral oil, Castrol AWS 32), may be used in all these lubricators. Medical paraffin instead of lubricating oil may be used throughout all lubricators if so desired.
LUBRICATORS MUST BE CHECKED DAILY FOR CORRECT ADJUSTMENT AND KEPT FULL OR PREMATURE PNEUMATIC CYLINDER AND COMPONENT WEAR COULD RESULT.
The Micro-Fog type lubricators are easily identified by a visual check at the adjusting knob situated just above the sight dome. The adjusting knob will be fitted with a red locking ring. In addition to the above and regardless of the colour of the locking ring, the Micro-Fog unit, when in operation can be identified by the ever present cloud of oil vapour sitting above the liquid oil in the lubricator bowl.
Note:
If you have a Micro-Fog Lubricator which is not producing a visible vapour cloud above the liquid oil when the machine is cycling, you must take steps to remedy the situation without delay so as to minimise pneumatic component wear.

Warning:
Read Safety Section 5 before any maintenance or adjustments are carried out Stop machine and disconnect power supply before servicing or repairing. Maintenance and adjustments must be performed with all power supply disconnected unless otherwise specified in this manual. High-pressure air systems are dangerous. Do not service or trouble-shoot systems with air supply on. Be sure to bleed off any trapped air before working on components since it is possible to have high pressure trapped in airlines.
FAULT:
THE BAG POPS BACK UP AT ONE END OR THE OTHER AFTER LEVELLING Cause Solution Check for powder contamination.
Check by hand that the front belt guide is free to move back against its return springs and that they have enough compression to return the guide to its drive position i.e. hard against the compression belts. length. Check the uncompressed spring Uncompressed spring length should be 80mm or more.

However, there is no reason that we are so far aware of, why a properly adjusted and maintained Bag Cleaning Mechanism cannot work as reliably as the rest of the machine provided that bag construction falls within our recommended Users Bag. FAULT: VACUUM CUP FAILS TO ADHERE TO OR FOLLOW BAG ie CLEANER PROBE UNABLE TO ENTER BAG TOP Cause Solution Replace damaged vacuum cup.
Ascertain reason for cup damage in order to prevent future damage. Check for build up of product on the shafts causing sticking. Check that the silicone vacuum supply tube is not restricted in its movement. Check that the vacuum cup holder return spring is at its rest position Check that the vacuum generator is functioning correctly Check that vacuum valve is functioning correctly. Check that the vacuum on output is present at the vacuum valve pilot solenoid.

1492LS09.DOC
Note:
Care should be taken when fitting new vacuum cup slide springs not to stretch the springs as this would increase their compressive strength making it difficult for the cup slide to operate correctly. Doing this will cause the cup to break free when the bag is pulling it along while opening the bag top. This will cause cleaner errors. Only light spring tension is required when the shafts are clean and everything else is working, as it should.

1492LS09.DOC
FAULT:
HEAT SEALS ARE NOT UNIFORM IN WIDTH OR OF INIFORM TEXTURE, ARE INCOMPLETE OR CLEAR Cause Solution A quick check of the Fuse Failure L.E.D. labels on the Field Zone Control boxes mounted on the rear of the machine spine will indicate whether failure of two or more dies is from a blown fuse (see The Field Control Boxes Section 9.1.3). Other electrical causes for Heating Die failure could be an open circuit cartridge element or lead. To check out get an electrician to do a voltage check across the cartridge element terminations ie. When the Temperature Controller Output L.E.D. is ON (see Section 9.1.2) there should be 220 Volts (more or less) across each cartridge element. If no evidence of electrical failure is present it could be possible that die pressure adjustment has been carried out wrongly ie. Too much pre-tension on the front Heating Die springs will tend to roll the Die Profile downwards out of parallel with the back Die profile.
Two or more Heating Dies are failing to reach set point temp.
The front dies are parallel to the rear vertical plan ie. Top heating die profile more pressure then edge.
Note:
One probable cause of rolling is that when initially pushing the die faces together, there has been too much pressure applied. It is important that the faces only just touch. See Section 9.1.4 for Heating Die Adjustment.
Page 6 of 29
1492LS09.DOC
FAULT:
BAG OUTER PLY IS BEING SCORCHED ie BROWN TRACKS WHERE THE BAG HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE HEATING DIE PROFILE Cause Solution If the Temperature Controller digital displays all check out O.K. See Section 7.2 switch OFF the Sealer Heat ON/OFF switch, on the operators control panel, and have an electrician check out the Field Boxes (see Section 9.1.3).
The above can only be caused by overheated dies. Assuming that the machine is running at recommended die temperatures. (See temperature controllers on operators control panel) this problem can be caused by one of the Heating Cartridge Element leads going to ground.
Note:
The thermocouple carrying the Heating Die will always indicate a fault specific to itself on the Operators Control Panel i.e. Alarm Indicator Lamp ON for over or under under heat or Temperature Controller digital display of thermocouple fault conditions.
SELA OBSERVED AS MOTTLED PATTERN OF CLEAR AND OPAQUE PATCHES ALONG THE SEAL LINE. Cause Solution For operator adjustments see Section 9.2.
Provided that Heating Dies are all operating, then the cause would be lack of pressure exerted from the Seal Compression wheels.

14.5.2. Maintenance
Maintenance of the Compression Wheels is not generally required, however if after the correct gap procedure is carried out and it is found that seal compression is not being achieved (See Section 10) we would advise a visual inspection of the Compression O Rings (D) is required (See Figure 14.5). To inspection the O ring (D) remove M6 bolts (A) and lift retaining ring (B) and moving ring (C) to expose same. Should replacement appear to be necessary the Heartbeat sensor/chain tensioner bracket, and rear drive transfer chain, must be removed (See Figure 14.7).

FAULT:
CLOSER AIR PRESSURE IS ADJUSTED TO RECOMMENDED LEVEL (AROUND 20 PSI) BUT ADHESIVE ON BAG CLOSURE FAILS TO ADHERE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BAG Cause Solution Check bag for excessive powder contamination
Excessive powder contamination of the adhesive or bag outer in the closure area. Failure of the Air Heater Element to heat its transient air.
Check Temperature Controller set-point, see Sapac default settings Section 12 Check that the Temperature Controller is functioning ie. digital display is not indicating a thermocouple failure and that the output L.E.D. at the top left hand corner of the display is flickering. Check for a blow line fuse at the Field Control Box (see Section 9.1.3) mounted on the rear side of the Sealer spine at the Bag Top Closer Location (Zone 5). Check the Air Heater element for open circuit condition by opening the Field Control Box and doing a voltage check across the element leads. Voltage across the leads should be 415 volts A.C. (more or less).
Warning:
Remove rear cover behind control Remove element wires from terminals on solid state relay Field Control Box. Release both gland nuts from each end of spring conduit on entry to cable glands (A) cut cable ties (if used). Remove element retaining M6 cap screw, which is threaded into the end fitting (B). Draw element from heater body by pulling back on end fitting (C).

1492LS09.DOC
Note:
The open drive gears need no maintenance apart from the backlash adjustment between the nylon primary driven gear C and the steel idler gear B refer to Figure 14.10.4. This adjustment is, needless to say, factory set prior to delivery and only needs to be carried out after closer section V Belt tensioning, gear replacement, or gearbox removal. Following is a chart giving the specification of each gear as illustrated on Figure 14.10.4. Gear Designation A B C D Material Nylon Steel Nylon Nylon Driver Idler Primary Driven Secondary Driven Function Gear Data M=3 T = 43 PA = 200 O.D. = 136 P.C.D. = 130

1492LS09.DOC
Note:
The idler (B) and main drive gear (A) are factory set for backlash. See Figure 14.10.4. These do not need altering. The idler gear is freewheeling and is mounted to a shaft, which is bolted to the gearbox/drive motor mounting plate. The mounting plate is slotted and held on by nuts over studs fixed to the main frame, after loosening mounting plates (M10) it is possible to move the drive gear/idler assembly to alter the clearance/backlash of the idler (B) and driven gear (C) us 17mm open ended spanner.
1. Whenever the Closer Section carrier belt tension is adjusted using the tension adjusters at the drive end of the machine, it will be necessary to adjust the idler (B) and driven gear (C) backlash. 2. Always adjust the carrier belt tension at the drive end an equal amount for both front and rear belts. If this is note done, the backlash between driven gears (C ) and (D) will not be correct.
Note:
Page 20 of 29
1492LS09.DOC
Driven Gears (C ) and (D) should always be at 130mm centres (see P.C.D.). ADJUSTMENT OF THESE CENTRES IS NOT NORMALLY NECESSARY AS THEY ARE FACTORY SET. However, when the setting is correct the two bedplates onto which the Compression assembly is mounted should be 20mm apart. The gear shafts are held parallel and at the correct centres by flanged bearings at the top, and their mountings at the bottom. Adjustment of the Driven gear centres is possible as follows. To adjust the Driven gear centres, the capscrews holding the compression assembly bed plates to the machine chassis must first be loosened (E and F, Figure 14.10.5) (front and rear bed plates) four M8 cap screws. Next the flange bearing M10 Hex bolts (G) may be loosened prior to prising the said base plates and flange bearings apart or closing them together.
Be sure to tighten all bolts/screws after ANY adjustment has been made. Adjustments are not completed until this is done.

Final Carrier belts extend through the leveller section to the Infeed Nip pulleys. Drive is transferred to the Final Carrier belt (the Leveller Section Carrier Belt) via the double V pulleys (Figure 14.11.3). The Final Carrier belt tensioners are located externally outboard of the sealer spine. See Figure 14.1.4. Adjustment: The tensioners are in the form of 2 x 10mm rods, fixed directly to the infeed pulley shafts at one end. The other end of these rods is threaded and passes through the first stainless steel bulkhead. There is a nut (M10) either side of this bulkhead. These are the adjuster nuts (A & B).
Before adjusting it is necessary to loosen the pulley shaft dome nuts (C) (M12) at the other end of the adjuster shaft, to enable the pulley shaft to slide. It may be necessary to loosen these pulleys quite a lot before they slide freely.
Note:
Adjust the belts by screwing the M10 nuts (A & B) either side of the bulkhead in the appropriate direction using a 17mm open ended spanner. Retighten all nuts after adjustment.
While infeed pulleys are loose, they will tend to tilt inwards, loosening the carrier belt still further. Be sure not to overtighten the belt, because of this. Make allowance for the pulleys returning to horizontal when tensioning. Do not attempt to adjust the tension of the belts without loosening the pulley shaft nuts sufficiently to allow free sliding, or the adjuster shaft will bend.

14.12. Conveyor
The conveyor belt tension and alignment has been set by the manufacturer prior to delivery and no adjustment should be necessary initially. However, through general wear and tear some stretching may become evident and adjustment may be necessary to prevent untimely damage or slippage.
14.12.1. Tensioning
To increase conveyor belt tension, (refer Figure 14.12) from both sides of the conveyor first loosen nut A and bolts C (2 per side) then tighten nuts B. The tension on both front and rear sides of the belt must be such that it tracks to the centre of the tensioning roller. Re-tighten bolts C and then lock nut B in position with nut A.

14.12.5. Lubrication
The mechanical components requiring lubrication are: 1. Electric Motors As is typical, the motors are fitted with single row, deep groove radial pre-greased ball bearings. No additional lubrication is therefore necessary.
Each geared motor and each gear unit is dispatched from the manufacturers works with the specific mounting position quantity of lubricant, unless other arrangements were agreed to. Without being specially specified otherwise in the order, the gear units will be provided with the lubricant as follows. Motor/Gearbox mounting position: H2 = 1.1 litres Use Mobil gear oil 636 or Shell Omala 680
Note:
2. Bearings The UC, bearing units are grease lubricated and are basically to be relubricated as conditions demand. For lubrication it is recommended to supply the grease during operation of the Bearing Units so as to avoid excessive greasing. Where environments are clean and operating temperatures do not rise high, replenishment of grease may not be necessary, however, where environment is dirty or dusty, a monthly supplementary lubrication is recommended. Shell Alvania Grease 3 or equivalent is required.
