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 own kind and has gained a worldwide success
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 longlasting 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.
1.4. Weight and dimensions of packed machine
a = mm 900
b = mm 600
c = mm 500
Weight = Kg 33
1.5. Machine weight and dimensions
a = mm 720
b = mm 530
c = mm 500
Weight = Kg 26
Chapter 2. Machine installation
2.1. Transport and positioning
It is recommended to handle with great care during transport and
positioning!
• Cut the straps.
• Lift off the carton from above.
• Release the cover by cutting the
line holding it down.
• Unscrew the two locking screws
(A) from the bottom and
remove the machine from the
pallet.
• When lifting the machine,
always grip it by the ends (see
picture) and never by the roll
holder (29).
• Assemble the trolley (supplied
upon request).
2.2. Environmental conditions
Working environmental conditions:
• Temperature from + 5°C to + 40°C
• Relative humidity from 30% to 90%,
without condensation
Machine safety factor = IP30
The aerial noise made by the
machine is lower than 70 dB
• Place the machine in a suitable area,
with no inflammable materials, gas or
explosives.
(If you have purchased the supporting
trolley, make sure the 4 feet fit correctly
in their seats when you rest the machine
on it).
2.3. Electrical connections
OBSERVE HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS!
GROUNDING OF THE UNIT IS
MANDATORY!
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.
