4.1 Function
The All-In Sealer is a band sealer for packaging a wide variety of products in large quantities. The products are packaged in ready-to-use bags and then sealed. The sealer can be used for sealing ready-made bags made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), thin PVC and various laminates with thicknesses of between 20µm and 150µm.
[*****]
Never use the All-In Sealer for any other purpose.
[*****]
The sealer is not suitable for the following applications:

[*****]
1. Housing
2. Control panel
3. Conveyor belt
4. Setting the distance and height of the sealing unit with respect to the conveyor belt.
5. Frame with wheels
The sealer consists of a wheeled frame on which there is a conveyor belt and a housing. The housing comprises the electrical and drive components; the operating panel is mounted on top of the housing. During maintenance work, the housing can be tilted to make the interior easily accessible.
The conveyor belt transports the bags that are to be sealed past the heating blocks, the press rollers, the cooling plates and the after-press rollers that are located inside the housing.
The height of the conveyor belt can be adjusted to let it line up seamlessly with the infeed and outfeed belts. The vertical distance between the conveyor belt and the housing can also be adjusted so that bags of various different heights can be sealed. The horizontal position of the conveyor belt with respect to the sealing unit can be adjusted to position the bags as centrally as possible on the conveyor belt.

the front.
5. Tighten the two locking handles again.
[******]
6.

7.3 Replacing the PTFE Belts
[*****]
Warning! The heating blocks may still be hot, even if the sealer has been switched off for a while.
[******]
Replace the PTFE belts as follows:
[*****]
1.
Move the cooling plate, the after
-
press
roller and the heating block to their uppermost position.
[*****]
Pull the lifting pin up and turn the lifting plate in such a way that it protrudes above the edge of the protective cover.
[******]
2.
Push the two tension rollers inwards until
they lock in place.
[*****]
When a tension roller is pushed inwards, the locking pin falls into a recess, which prevents the tension roller from springing back.
[******]
3.
Remov
e the V
-
belts by pushing them off
the pulleys with a rotating motion.
Page 29
Maintenance 29
4.
Remove the old PTFE belts and put the
new ones in place.
[*****]
Make sure there are no creases or folds in the PTFE belts. This can make them break during use.
[*****]
5.
Pull the
tension roller locking pins
upwards and let the tension rollers spring back gently.
[*****]
Make sure that the PTFE belts run smoothly over the rollers.
[******]
6.
Place the V
-
belts back over the pulleys.
[*****]
Make sure that the V-belts run smoothly over the rollers, with the serrated side facing outwards.
[******]
7.
Move the cooling plates, the after
-
press
roller and the heating block back to their lowest position.
[*****]
Pull the lifting pin up and turn the lifting plate so that the lifting pin can go back down all the way again.

7.4 Replacing V-belts
Replace the V-belts as follows:
[*****]
1.
Remove the V
-
belts by pushing them off
the pulleys.
2. Put the new V-belts back over the pulleys.
[*****]

[******]
7.5 Adjusting the V-belts
The V-belts can be adjusted as follows:
[*****]
1.
Loosen the nut at the back of the shaft by
one full turn.
[*****]
Do not undo the nut completely, or else the tension roller will not stay suspended.
[*****]
2.
Slide the tension roller to the left or right
to increase or decrease the V-belt tension respectively.
3. Tighten the bolt at the back of the shaft again.
[*****]
The long belts must be able to move up and down about 1 cm in the middle; for the short belts, the play must be 0.5 cm.
[*****]
A V-belt that has to be tensioned frequently is worn and should be replaced.

[*****]
5. Loosen the mounting bolts.
6. Remove the heating block from the machine.
7. Loosen the hex socket bolt at the back of
the heating block.
8. Take the heating element out of the heating block.
9. Put a new heating element in place.
10. Carefully tighten the hex socket bolt at the back of the heating block.
[*****]
Do not tighten the hex socket bolt too far, or the heating element may get damaged.

Move the heating block back to its lowest
position.
[*****]

7.7 Adjusting the Contact Force of the Heating Blocks
The heating blocks can be adjusted as follows:
[*****]
1.
Turn the adjuster
nut to
alter the contact
force.
[*****]
T
ry to keep the contact force as low as possible in order to minimise
wear and tear on the PTFE belts. If necessary, the contact force can be increased for materials that are
difficult to seal. Always check that the bag does not get blocked or stuck during sealing.
[*****]
Turn anticlockwise to increase the contact force and clockwise to reduce it
[*****]
Note that the adjustment depends on the position (horizontal or vertical) of the housing.
[*****]
Adjust both nuts equally.

7.12 Motor Set-up
The machine has an automatic motor set-up function. This motor set-up function must be carried out when a motor is replaced. During this set-up the motor will run at full speed for a few seconds. Be aware that the machine can run safely for a few seconds.
To perform a motor set-up follow the next steps:
Select the ‘SPEED’ mode with the ‘PROG’ button.
Press the ‘PROG’ button for 5 seconds till ‘SP1’ appears in the display.
Start the set-up routine by pressing the ‘PROG’ button. The motor will run at
maximum speed for a few seconds.
End the function by pressing the ‘PROG’ button for 5 seconds till the SPEED settings appear on the display.
7.13 Correction factor
The machine has correction factors to adjust the motor if necessary. This factor (%) will affect the motor output. If set at e.g. 90 the motor will run slower and set at e.g. 110 the motor will run faster.
To perform a motor set-up follow the next steps:
Select the ‘SPEED’ mode with the ‘PROG’ button.
Press the ‘MOTOR’ and ‘PROG’ button simultaneous for 5 seconds till ‘CF1’
appears in the display.
Press the ‘PROG’ button.
Set the CF1 setting with the ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ button. (Minimum 85 and
maximum 115).
Press the ‘PROG’ button to return to ‘CF1’.
End the function by pressing the ‘PROG’ button for 5 seconds till the SPEED
settings appear on the display.
7.14 Reset to factory settings
The machine has a function to reset all settings to the original factory settings. Note that if you reset the machine all settings prior made will be lost. To perform a reset follow the next steps:
Switch the main power OFF.
Keep the ‘START/STOP’- and the ‘PROG’ button pressed, while the main power
is switched ON, until ‘rES’ appears in the display.
Perform a motor set-up.
