3.2 MACHINE IDENTIFICATION

Fig. 3.2.1
On the rear of every machine is applied a

nameplate showing the EC marking, the main
technical data such as model, serial n.,
power, etc., to be notified to the builder in
case of problems.
3.3 SEALING
Fig. 3.3.1
Sealing and cutting are both of the impulse

type, automatically adjusted by the electronic
board.
The sealing blade is brought to a temperature
such to melt the film and the pressure
between the sealing blade and the PTFE
coated upper contrast, causes the separation
of the two film edges.
Chapter 3 - Information on the machine
3.4 SHRINKING
Fig. 3.4.1
Film shrinking is obtained at the same time as

the sealing and is produced by the forced
circulation of hot air around the packaging.
Air heating is obtained by making the same
go through a group of thermo-controlled
resistors. Should any sealing breakage occur
during shrinking it is possible to postpone the
start of heat-shrinking by acting on the control
panel.
The ventilation time and the oven's
temperature regulate the heat-shrinking.

6.3 RESIDUAL FILM REMOVAL AND MISCELLANEOUS

Before removing any film res idues and impurities deposited on the hot parts of the
machine wait until the machine has cooled down
For the cleaning of the lower bell, remove the netting and the larger residues, then go over
using a vacuum cleaner.
6.4 GENERAL CLEANING
28
Use exclusively a damp cloth to clean the bell. Do not use any detergents or solvents,
since these could damage its transparency.
Clean the machine more frequently if it is used in dusty environments and, in particular, suck
away any dust being deposited on internal electrical components, by removing the machine
back cover.
6.5 REPLACING THE SEALING BLADE
Pull out the machine plug from the mains;
Unscrew the three screws 1 locking the blade;
Remove the damaged sealing blade;
Clean the blade housing;
Introduce the insulating PTFE 2 in the central clamp 3 (if necessary replace also the PTFE);
Put in the new sealing blade, clamping it at the centre;
Trim the sealing blade level

with the slot of the small
pistons 4-5;
Complete the insertion of the

sealing blade in all its housing;
Push well down the small

piston 6 using a screwdriver 4,
towards the end of the blade,
so that it goes into its slot and
tighten its clamping screw 1;
Trim any PTFE protruding from

the central clamp to avoid that
it may alter the sealing;
Make sure that the sealing

blade is under tension and that
it is correctly positioned in all
its length.

Chapter 7 - Anomalies and failures - how to remedy
7.2 AUDIO WARNING OF PROBLEMS

When there is an error, the display will show a reading like this:
!!!
The displayed code allows to find the type of error which has caused the alarm and the
interruption of the correct machine operation.
The error signallings which may occur are shown below:
PROBLEM 2: The cooling fin's temperature is too high.
Solution:
46
Check if the air intakes are clogged (turn off the power before carrying out any type of cleaning).
Check if the cooling fan is functioning correctly.
If the problem persists stop the sealing and heat-shrinking operations, turn off the power supply
and replace the electronic panel.
PROBLEM 3: The heat shrinking reading temperature is not stable.
Solution:
Turn off the power supply.
Check if the ground connections are correct (including those of the MAINS).
Check if the thermocouple's connecting terminals are well locked;
Replace the resistor equipped with thermocouple.
If the problem persists stop the sealing and heat shrinking operations, turn off the power supply and
replace the electronic panel.
PROBLEM 4: Value read by the thermocouple to the maximum value.

Solution:
Check the thermocouple's connection.
Check if there is a resistor lower than 5Ohms at the ends of the thermocouple with a ohmmeter. Check
if the tension is lower than 70mV with a millivoltmeter. This test must be carried out with the plant
switched on. If one of the two tests has negative results, replace the resistor equipped with
thermocouple
If the problem persists stop the sealing and heat shrinking operations, turn off the power supply
and replace the electronic panel.
PROBLEMA 5: Temperature higher than the set value
Solution:
Check if the outlet connector has been inserted correctly.
Connect a voltmeter (bearing > 240 Vac) to the ends of the oven resistor terminals. Insert the power
supply and make sure there is voltage only with the heat shrinking mode and that the icon shows
"oven resistors activated". If not turn off the power supplies and replace the electronic panel
PROBLEMA 6: Temperature lower than the set value.

Solution:
Check that the thermocouple connection has correct polarity.
Check the thermocouple resistors connection.
Check the heat-shrinking resistors.
If the problem persists, stop the sealing and heat-shrinking operations, turn off the power supply and
replace the electronic panel.
PROBLEM 7: Overload outlet 24 volts.

Solution:
Check that the electromagnet connecting cables are intact.
Measure the electromagnet resistor that must be 100-200W. If not change the electromagnet.
If the problem persists replace the electronic panel.
ERROR 9:EEPROM error

An anomaly has occurred during data storage.
Solution:
Press the key + and then reset the correct machine model
If the problem persists, switch the machine off and call the servicing centre.
PROBLEM 15: Problem NTC.
The reading of the NTC temperature presents a value that is not normal.
If the problem persists turn off the power supply and replace the electronic panel.
N.B.: The card contains a control system on possible malfunctioning of the software. If a reset
of the card occurs during functioning report the problem to the producer immediately indicating
the release of the programme in use.
