Introduction

Our band sealers are equipped with electronic temperature controllers and variable speed conveyors to
seal all types of thermoplastic materials (PP, PE, stand up pouches, gusseted bags, moisture barrier bags,
etc.). Seals are created using PTFE bands which maintain high seal quality and produce consistently
strong, clean seals on all heat sealable bags. Because bags are placed on a conveyor system, the width of
the bag does not matter. These versatile machines offer several adjustments which allow them to be used
for a wide range of applications. These machines are used extensively in the food, medical, chemical,
cosmetic, and electronic industries.

The FRM-1120C band sealer adopts dry ink coding designed to print date and lot codes at the seal line.
Ink dries instantly upon contact with packaging materials and produces clear and legible characters. For
FRM-1120C, the standard font size is 18PT which allows for two-line printing. An optional 10.5PT font
size which allows for three-line printing can be purchased separately. Please ask your distributor for more
information.

The FRS-1120W band sealer adopts hot stamp printing to print date and lot codes at the seal line. Hot
stamp printing is similar to an analog printing press. Color ribbon printing provides a stronger adhesion
print than dry ink coding and works best for humid environments.

The FRM-1120C / FRS-1120W are stand alone units with casters providing easy mobility for the band
sealer. In addition, the sealer is equipped with a tilting mechanism which allows the conveyor to tilt up
to 30 degrees, ideal for packaging liquids and grains.

Principles

FRM-1120C is easy to
use. To seal, adjust
temperature and place
bag on conveyor

placed on the guide and conveyor. Conveyor will then take the material between the two heating blocks
to fuse the material together. Material will then pass through the cooling blocks to allow the material to
congeal. Finally, a photoelectric sensor will direct the dry ink coder to print a clear and legible print at the
seal line.

The motor drives the sealing belts, drive belts and conveyor simultaneously.

on the heat for the band sealer will cause a rapid rise in the temperature of the
heating blocks. Required temperature and speed can be adjusted via the
temperature controller and speed adjusting device. Plastic material to be sealed is

Operating your Band Sealer

Operation Set-up

1. Our machines are equipped with a three-prong grounded plug. Make sure the plug is well-

connected in the socket to ensure safe operation.

2. tion. (Levers pointing up)

3. First time operation. Allow the machine to pre-heat by running at a low temperature for a few

minutes. This would apply if the machine has not been in operation for a long time. The
machine can sometimes be damp from storage or shipment and running at a low temperature
will dry out any residual moisture.

4. Adjust the conveyor position forwards or backwards. Loosen the two screws at the bottom of

the conveyor table. Move out the conveyor table to the suitable position, then fasten the screws.
Refer to Figure 4.

Figure 4.

5. Adjust the guide to adjust seal width and position of seal line on your material.

3. Turn Power, Heat (Seal), Fan, and Printer switches to the On position. Belts and conveyor

will begin to move simultaneously.

4. Adjust the conveyor speed.

5. Adjust the temperature controller to the temperature desired to seal your material. Temperature

settings will vary based on bag material and thickness. If you are unsure what temperature setting
to use, we recommend starting at a low temperature and gradually increase to a temperature that
will seal your material. The PV value is the actual temperature and the SV value is the desired

temperature setting. The SV value can be viewed by pressing the button.

b. Press the and button to change temperature setting.

c. Press the button to save the temperature settings.

d. Wait until the PV temperature matches the SV temperature which should take

approximately 5-10 minutes.

e. Check our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/sealersales) for a video

demo.

f. Please note: Temperature will be in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Do not attempt to make

additional adjustments to the temperature controller. Please contact your local distributor if
you need assistance.

6. Adjust the pressure knob (Figure 32 , Item #71) on your band sealer depending on the

thickness of your bag material.

7. Place material on the guide (Figure 34, Item #28) and allow the band sealer to pull your

material through. Make sure your material is flat on the guide. While the material is moving
through the band sealer, do not push or pull the material as this will cause irregular sealing.

8. If the sealing belt is running off the guide wheels, make adjustments to the screws that are found

on the driven wheel seat (Figure 7, Item #1 & 2)

Figure 7. (1) Driven Wheel Seat (Adjusting Block), (2) Driven Wheel Seat (Adjusting Block), (3)/(4) Adjusting Screws, (5) Springs

9. Emergency Stop Press the emergency stop to turn off the machine. In order to restart the

machine, you must release the emergency stop by turning the knob

10. To shut down, turn off the heater switch and allow the temperature of the machine to drop

before turning off the power and fan switches. Following this shut down procedure will significantly
prolong the life of machine and sealing belts.

Sealing Optimization

1. Sealing performance can be adjusted with the sealing temperature and sealing speed. The higher

the speed the less exposure the material to heating blocks and therefore a higher temperature will
be required to seal the material.

2. Try a variety of different sealing temperatures and conveyor speeds to get the optimal seal for

your material.

Printing Operation - FRM-1120C

FRM-1120C is equipped with a dry ink coding feature capable of printing characters at the seal line. Ink
dries instantly upon contact with packaging materials and produces clear and legible letters/numbers.
Standard font size is 18PT which allows for two-line printing up to 20 characters per line. Optional print
wheel which allows for 40 characters per line is available to be purchased separately. In addition, we also
carry 10.5PT font size which allows for three-line printing can also be purchased separately. Ask your
distributor for more details. Check our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/sealersales) for
a video demo.

2. Installing Types/Characters on Print Wheel. Place selected characters in the grooves of the

printing wheel. Be sure to insert the characters from right to left to ensure actual imprint prints
correctly on your packaging material. Once completed, insert the silicone pin at the top of the
printing wheel to hold the characters in place.

Figure 12. Place characters from right to left.

Figure 13. Place silicone pin to lock characters in place.

3. Installing the Print Wheel. To insert the spring-loaded print wheel into the print wheel base,

ensure that the pin on the printing wheel is aligned with the notch of the print wheel base. Gently
insert the print wheel into the base. Lock the print wheel by pushing the red handle in until you
feel the handle lock into place.

4. Install Ink Roller into the Ink Roller Holder. Remove the metal ring found on the ink roller

holder using an allen wrench. Place the ink roller onto the ink roller holder and place the metal
ring back on the ink roller holder to hold the ink roller in place. Please note that for 30mm wide
ink rollers, the metal ring will not be used.

Figure 16. Remove metal wring found on the ink roller holder

Figure 17. Ink roller installed on ink roller holder

5. Insert Ink Roller in the Ink Wheel Heating Block. When inserting the ink roller, ensure the

ink roller lines up with the type on the printing wheel. If the ink roller is pushed in too far, the
printing wheel will not print correctly. Note: Do not allow the ink roller to heat continuously when machine

is not in use as heating block may melt the ink roller.

Figure 18. Correct Ink Roller Position

Figure 19. Incorrect Ink Roller Position

Test the ink roller position relative to the printing wheel. Place your finger under the
photoelectric sensor. The sensor light will turn green and allow the printing wheel to rotate.

6. Make Adjustments to Ink Wheel Adjusting Device. As the print wheel rotates, check that

the printing wheel makes contact with the ink roller. Make adjustments using the ink wheel
adjusting device (Figure 20, Item #5) if necessary. Turning the adjusting screw clockwise will
move the ink roller away from the print wheel and turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise
will move the ink roller closer to the print wheel.

Figure 20. (1) Ink Roller, (2) Ink Roller Heating Block, (3) Swing Pole, (4) Adjusting Strut, (5) Ink Wheel Adjusting Device

7. Make Adjustments Between Printing Wheel and Silicone Wheel. The typesets/characters

on the printwheel should only touch the silicone wheel during the printing process. The
characters should not touch the silicone wheel at any other time. If the band sealer is used to seal
relatively thicker materials, the screw (Figure 21, Item #4) should be loosened. Rotate the
eccentric sleeve (Figure 21, Item #3) to ensure the characters/typesets slightly tough the silicone
wheel's surface. Refasten the screw after making adjustments.

Figure 21. (1) Printing Wheel, (2) Silicone Wheel, (3) Eccentric Sleeve, (4) Screw

8. Setting Printing Temperature. We recommend setting the ink temperature on the higher end.

Allow 5-10 minutes for the ink heating block and ink roller to reach the correct temperature.

Note: If band sealer is not in use right away, do not leave ink roller in the unit while temperature is on. This may
result in the ink roller melting and producing messy print.

9. Adjust Printing Position. The coding seat knob determines printing position on your material.

For example, if you want to print on the left side of your bag, turn the coding seat to its lowest

F R M - 1 1 2 0 C I N S T R U C T I O N M A N U A L

16

setting (or counterclockwise). If you want to print on the right side of the bag, turn the coding
seat to a higher setting (or clockwise).

Printing Optimization

1. Print quality will be determined by the degree of ink melting, distance between the ink roller and

printing wheel and distance between the silicone wheel and printing wheel.

2. Over time, decrease the gap between the ink roller and printing wheel.

3. A newer ink roller will require a lower temperature vs. an older ink roller. Make adjustments to

ink temperature as necessary.

4. Ensure there is adequate pressure on the silicone wheel (Part #BS-57A) by the printing wheel.

We suggest using factory default settings before making any adjustments. Adjustments may be
needed based on material thickness.

5. If the printing wheel rotates and there is no thermoplastic material running through the band

sealer, excess ink will rub off on the silicone wheel. Clean the silicone wheel with a shop cloth
and silicone spray to remove any excess ink.

Printing Operation - FRS-1120W

FRS-112W is equipped with a hot stamp ribbon printer. The printer works much like an analog printing
press. Types are loaded into the imprinter then heated. An inked printing ribbon sits between the type and
material to be printed. The heated type presses onto the ribbon, melting the ink onto the material. A spring
biased dancer assembly having a idler roller maintains a tension on the inked print ribbon as the inked print
ribbon is transferred from a supply reel to a rewind reel. To change the code of the hot stamp, types can be
easily replaced.

Figure 22. Type Example - FRS-1120W

1. Determining the correct position for printing on your bag will require some trial and error.

Adjust the Speed, Coarse Tuning, and Fine Tuning knobs to determine the optimal printing
location on your bag.

Figure 23. FRS-1120W Control Panel

Each number dial turn moves the print
approximately

Each number dial turn moves the
print approximately to the right

2. To install the hot stamp ribbon, web the imprinter per diagram below (Figure 24). Be sure that

the dull side (pigment) of the tape faces away from printing head and toward the base of the
imprinter. To web the ribbon through the ribbon press wheel, pull the handle upwards to release
the ribbon press wheel. Lock the ribbon to the collect wheel by using a piece of scotch tape to
adhere the ribbon to the collect wheel.

F R M - 1 1 2 0 C I N S T R U C T I O N M A N U A L

Figure 24. Ribbon Webbing Guide

3. Insert the printing head/type holder in the printing block. To lock the printing head, press the

handle on the printing head inward and turn clockwise about 90 degrees. When locked, you
should not be able to pull the printing head out of the printing block.

4. If temperature is left on while imprinter is not in use, we suggest turning the ribbon collect wheel

a few turns so that ribbon exposed to the heat of the printing block is moved into the ribbon
collect wheel. This will prevent ribbon breakage.

Imprinter Adjustments

Best results in hot stamp imprinting depends on correct temperature, pressure, and stroke speed. Different
materials may require adjusting any of these, as follows:

1. Temperature Adjustment. Turn the temperature knob to the appropriate temperature for the

material to be printed. Turning the knob clockwise will cause the temperature to rise and turning
the temperature counterclockwise will cause the temperature to lower. Wait approximately 15-20
minutes for imprinter to reach set temperature.

2. Pressure Adjustment. Normal printing pressures vary with the printing material. Pressure

should be kept just high enough to obtain good results. Too much pressure causes excessive
wear on type and silicone rubber pad. If pressure is too high, the ribbon may break and printed
materials may be melted through. If pressure is too low, the printed characters will be illegible.

The connection pole can be adjusted up or down to accommodate different types of material
and varying degrees of print darkness. To adjust the length of the connection pole, release either
of the two nuts located on the connection pole. Turning the nuts clockwise will cause the

pole.

Figure 25. To adjust the length of the connection pole, release either of the two nuts located on the connection pole. Turning the nuts clockwise will
cause the connection pole to lengthen. Turning the nuts counterclockwise will cause the connection pole to shorten.

3. Ribbon Step Distance Adjustment. The step distance is the amount of tape pulled through

by each printing stroke. If the step distance is higher, more ribbon will be consumed during
print. This distance is controlled by the bolt located at the back of the machine. Loosen the
butterfly-shaped nut found on the bolt. Moving the bolt upwards will reduce the step distance
and moving the bolt downwards will increase the step distance. Once the optimal step distance
is acquired, tighten the butterfly-shaped nut. The tape should advance just enough to present a
new surface on each impression.

Loosen butterfly-shaped nut and adjust the bolt up or
down.

Figure 26. Ribbon Step Distance Adjustment. Loosen the butterfly-shaped nut found on the bolt. Moving the bolt upwards will reduce the step distance
and moving the bolt downwards will increase the step distance.

Changing Type

Typesets are easily changed but

Using an allen wrench, loosen the set screws (Part# HP­280-58) to release the typesets. Insert new types into the printing head/typeset holder and tighten set screw
to ensure types do not fall out when inserted into the printing block. Additional types may be ordered as
needed. Please ask your distributor for more details.
