Chapter 1. Foreword
1.1. Introduction
You have bought a machine with outstanding features and performance and we thank you very much
for your confidence in choosing it.
The MINIPACK System is unique in its kind and has achieved worldwide succes with more than
50000 units operating in the field of packaging and wrapping.It is handy, low-priced and protected by
patents at home and abroad.The technological concept underlining its design, as well as the
components and materials used in the manufacturing and testing process are the best assurance of
proper operation and long-lasting liability.
1.2. Performances of packaging machine
Thanks to its particular operating circuit, it can be used both as a sealing and shrinking machine or as
a plain sealing machine (sealing only).
In this case it is possible to pack the object in a soft bag without shrinkwrapping. Technical grade or
food grade films with thickness in the range of 15-50 micron can be used. These products are
manufactured and distributed by MINIPACK Torre S.p.A. The film used in centerfolded execution
can be micropunched or not when running through the micropunches of machine itself. The machine
can carry out up to 300 packages/hour.
1.3. Machine identification
In every communication with the Manufacturer, always
mention the model and the serial number specified on the plate
on the rear part of the machine.

Chapter2. Machine installation
2.1. Transport and positioning
It is recommended to handle with great care during transport and positioning!
Cut strap with scissors and remove the
cardboard.
Remove the cardboard containing the
supports.
Unscrew the 4 locking screws.
Remove the machine from the pallet (to lift
the machine always grip it by the ends. Do
not lift it from film roll support!).
Place the 4 supports on the machine.
Remove the upper hood by cutting the
strings.
2.2. Environmental conditions
Place the machine in a suitable environment free from humidity, gases, explosives, combustible
materials.
Working environmental conditions:
• Temperature from + 5°C to + 40°C
• Relative humidity from 30% to 90%, without condensation
Machine safety factor = IP20
The aerial noise made by the machine is lower than 70 dB
2.3. Electrical connections
OBSERVE HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS!
GROUNDING OF THE UNIT IS OBLIGATORY!
Before executing electrical connections, make sure the mains
voltage matches the one on the plate on
machine rear and that the earthing contact complies with the
safety rules in force. In case of doubts about the mains voltage,
contact the local public supply Company.
