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.

How Does the Band Sealer Work?
Our band sealers are comprised of a stainless steel frame, speed adjusting
mechanism, sealing temperature control system and transmission system. Turning
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
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.

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. Make sure the circuit breaker is in the “ON” position. (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 6.
Figure 6.
5. Adjust the guide to adjust seal width and position of seal line on your material.

2. Make sure the circuit breaker is in the “ON” position. (Levers pointing up)
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 (150ºC) and gradually increase to a
temperature that will seal your material. We highly discourage sealing material at a temperature
above 200ºC. Please note: Temperature will be in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. The
temperature controller cannot be displayed in Fahrenheit.
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.

The SP light will be on to show the SV temperature.
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 besides the temperature. The
temperature controller CANNOT be displayed in Fahrenheit and is ALWAYS in Celsius.
Please do not set the temperature controller above 200ºC. Please contact your local
distributor if you need assistance.
6. Adjust the pressure knob (Figure 34 , Item #71) on your band sealer depending on the
thickness of your bag material.
7. Place material on the guide (Figure 36, 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

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 120˚ clockwise.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 22, 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.
Page 22
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
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 23, Item #4) should be loosened. Rotate the
eccentric sleeve (Figure 23, Item #3) to ensure the characters/typesets slightly tough the silicone
wheel's surface. Refasten the screw after making adjustments.
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
Page 23
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
18
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.
6. Remove the ink roller from unit until sealer is ready for use. If ink roller is left in the
machine while not in use, this may result in melting of the ink roller and messy print. To
clean, wipe down belts, silicone wheel, and other parts with silicone spray and cloth.

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.
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.
2. To install the hot stamp ribbon, web the imprinter per diagram below (Figure 26). 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.

Figure 26. 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

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.

Printing Wheel Adjustments
Problem: Print wheel on the band sealer rotates more than once.
Possible Cause: Electromagnetic clutch on the back of the unit and groove sensor are not aligned properly.
The flat panel of the electromagnetic clutch signals the grove sensor to stop the print wheel rotation.
1. We suggest the following steps:
2. Loosen the nut as shown in Figure 59. This will allow the carbon brush holder and grove sensor
some movement.
3. Push the groove sensor closer to the electromagnetic clutch
4. Re-tighten the nut

If the temperature controller works and the power
lamp illuminates but the motor does not move,
start off by checking the motor and turbocase
connection. Remove the back of the machine and
you will see bushing where the motor connects to
the gear box. Ensure the bushing is not broken.
There is also a set screw that connects the bushing
to the gear box / motor shafts. Ensure that these
are tight so that when the motor turns, the
turbocase turns as well.
If the turbocase is noisy before it stopped
working, the gear box could be broken inside.
Lack of oil could cause this.
If the lamp illuminates and the motor does not
turn, the motor speed controller may need to be
replaced.
