DESCRIPTION OF TWA1000-MWATER ACTIVATED TAPER
The Interpack Family of Water Activated Tapers are designed to dispense pre-determined lengths
of pre-moistened Intertape or Central Brand water activated carton sealing tape. This tape is then
manually applied to the top and bottom center seam of regular slotted corrugated cartons.
This TWA 1000M Manual dispenses tape by engaging a pull handle.

operators and service personnel of the sharp cutting edge of the blade. Please read the label
and the following safety precautions before using the Water Activated Taper.
Read this manual for other important safety operating and service information.
Only trained personnel are to operate and service Water Activated Taper.
Wear safety glasses.
Unplug electrical power before servicing (Heater Models)
All covers and guards must be in place before operating.

SAFETY ISSUES
The illustrated label shown in
Figure 5-1 is attached next to the
Cutter Blade area. The label warns
operators and service personnel of
the very sharp knife used to cut the
tape at the end of the tape
application.
Turn electrical supplies off before
servicing the water activated tape
dispensers.
The illustrated label shown in Figure 5-2 is attached to the inside cover of
the water activated taper. The label
provides operators and service
personnel of the proper method of
threading a new roll of tape through
the machine.
More detailed information is provided
in the “Set Up Procedures” portion of
this manual.
Turn electrical supplies off before
servicing the water activated
taper.

The Feed Bar has two positions. The
location is determined by the roll length
1. Position the adjustable feed roller based
on the roll length.
2. For larger, 1000 ft. rolls, locate the feed
roller to the most forward position
3. For smaller rolls, locate the feed bar to
the farthest outboard position

width and roll length
1. Open up the self centering side guides
using the adjustment knob to permit the
insertion of the tape roll
2. Place the tape roll in the roll carriage
with the tape tab feeding toward the
discharge end of the machine
3. Adjust the width of the side guides using
the adjustment knob so that they are
about 1/8” away from the edge of the roll
and do not restrict the unwinding of the
tape.

CAUTION WHEN THREADING THE TAPE TO AVOID PERSONNEL INJURY.
Filling the Water Bottle
Water Bottle
Rubber Valve
1. Remove the water bottle by pulling it straight
up from the brush pot. ( See Figure 7-8)
2. Turn the bottle over so the water will not spill
3. Remove the rubber valve
4. Fill the bottle with warm water
5. Replace the valve
6. Reinstall the water bottle by inserting it over
the brush pot post and into the support
brackets located on the side of the taper
Figure 7-7
Brush Pot Assembly
The brush pot contains the moistening brush and the brush weight assembly. This unit must be removed
regularly to clean the moistening brush and brush pot of any accumulated adhesive buildup. Failure to
maintain a clean moistening brush will decrease the wicking action and result in poorly moistened water
activated tape.
Removing The Brush Pot
Water Bottle
The brush pot should be removed and
cleaned regularly
1. Lift off the water bottle from the brush
pot stem as shown in Figure 7-8
2. Raise the front edge of the brush pot as
you slide it forward to remove it from the

Adjusting The Brush Weight
The function of the brush weight is to provide
enough downward pressure on the tape as it
travels over the moistening brush so that the
adhesive is properly activated. The brush
weight is adjusted at the factory and should not
require further adjustment. However, should
you process lightweight non-reinforced tapes,
you may wish to reduce the weight on the
moistening brush.
1. Loosen the locking nut
2. Slide the weight forward to increase brush
weight
3. Slide the weight to the rear to decrease the
brush weight

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Cutter Blade Maintenance
The cutter blade must raise when the handle is
pulled to allow the tape to process underneath.
The blade must therefore raise and return
without restriction. Should the blade not raise
when the handle is pulled, check the following:
1. Remove the water bottle
2. Remove the brush pot assembly
3. Remove the upper guide plate
4. Advance the pull handle slightly to lift the
cutter blade
5. Observe to see when the blade raises that
there is no hesitation or delay.
6. Observe to see that there is sufficient
clearance between cutter blade and the tape
guide to allow the full tape width to pass
through unrestricted
7. If there is not enough clearance, remove the
right side cover.
a. Remove four 6mm screws with a 3mm
hex key
b. Remove the pull handle with a 5mm
hex key and a 17mm wrench
8. Observe the cutter blade lifting spring. When
the handle is pulled, the spring should raise
the cutter blade.
9. Replace spring if necessary
