Introduction
W-Series automatic sealers are ideal for high volume continuous poly bag and other thermoplastic sealing.
The sealer allows you to keep both hands free for quicker and more accurate sealing. Our W-Series auto
sealers can seal polyethylene, polypropylene, saran, nylon, static shielding bags, Mylar up to 30mil in total
thickness depending on the model # of the sealer.

How Do W-Series Automatic Sealers Work?
Our W-Series automatic impulse sealers fire a short burst of electricity through a
specially designed heating wire to weld thermoplastic materials together. The
length of the seal time will depend on the sealing characteristics of the bag being
sealed. The sealing process is simple: The operator places the bag between the
sealing jaws and presses the footswitch to activate the unit. The sealer is equipped with a digital display
for easy timer settings. The seal process ends automatically once the preset seal time is reached. The
operator retrieves the sealed bag and repeats the process. Bags are sealed repeatedly and uniformly.

Operating your Sealer
Assembly Instructions
1. Connect the footswitch to the sealer unit.
2. To install the optional working plate and table, remove screws located at the front of the unit and
install the working plate. Adjust working table height according to your bag specifications.
Operation
1. Before operating, check the heating element, PTFE cover, PTFE adhesive and the
silicone rubber.
2. Insert the power cord into the correct receptacle (110V).
3. Turn the power switch on.
4. Choose the appropriate mode: manual or auto. Press the green switch towards MAN for
manual mode and press the switch towards AUTO for automatic mode
a. For manual operation, place the material to be sealed on the lower sealing jaw and press
the foot switch to activate the upper sealing jaw.
b. For auto operation, press the switch towards AUTO to activate automatic sealing. To
turn off the automatic mode and return to manual mode, press the switch towards
MAN. Auto mode enables the upper sealing jaw to open and close automatically based
on the sealing, cooling and recycle settings.
5. Set the SEALING knob to the lowest setting. Always start with a low setting and increase
gradually as needed. Thicker bags will need a higher setting.
6. Set the CONGEALING knob setting. The cooling (congeal) setting button determines the
congealing time for the sealing. For a high quality seal, seals must be able to cool under pressure.
We usually recommend a congeal setting of at least 2x that of the seal setting, but every bag will
have variations. Thicker materials will require a longer cool (congealing) time.
7. Set the RECYCLE knob setting. Recycle time determines the amount of time the
sealing/congealing cycle will reset.. Recycle time is based on the working speed of the operator.
Tips for Successful Sealing
1. If the seal is broken or damaged, decrease the sealing time.
Page 12
11
2. If the seal is not fully welded, increase the sealing time.
3. If the sealing material sticks to the sealing pad, decrease the congealing time.
4. If the width of the seal is not perfect or does not match the size of the element, increase the
congealing time.
5. Always keep the sealer clean. Remove any residue found on the platform and PTFE cover. Silicone
spray may be used for this purpose.
6.
When replacing the heating elements, always replace the PTFE adhesive under
the heating element. A worn PTFE adhesive can cause the heating element to break.
PTFE adhesive works as a barrier between the body of the sealer and the element. Never allow the
element to come in direct contact with the sealer body as that will damage the timer.
7. Occasionally check the condition of the silicone rubber for wear or burns. A damaged silicone
rubber will affect the quality of the seal.
8. Be sure to turn off the power or unplug the unit before replacing any parts.

Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be followed to ensure the longevity of your W-Series
automatic sealer.
Inspection and Cleaning
1. Inspect your machine daily.
2. Use a clean cloth to remove any plastic residue remaining on the PTFE cloth.
3. When replacing the elements, always check the condition of the bottom PTFE tape.
4. Check the condition of the silicone rubber for wear and burns. A damaged silicone rubber will
affect the quality of the seal.
Replacement Kit Instructions
Our W-Series automatic sealers will require new heating elements and PTFE from time to time. Heating
elements will break through wear and tear. A good rule of thumb is to replace the PTFE adhesive every time
you change your heating element. The PTFE cover prevents the plastic or other thermoplastic material you
are sealing from sticking to the heating element.
Replacement kits are available from your distributor.
For single impulse automatic sealers, kits include (2) heating elements, (2) PTFE adhesives, and 1ft long roll
of PTFE cover. For replacement kit part #s, refer to your model #. **Please note that heating elements
and kits are NOT interchangeable with one another.**

To install your replacement kit on your sealer, turn off power and unplug sealer.
Removing Worn Parts.
1. Loosen the screws on the PTFE cover plate (Figure 10, Item #16).
2. Remove the heating element cover.
3. Lift up the PTFE cover to expose the heating element (Figure 10, Item #19).
4. Unscrew the nut on the mounting spring (Figure 10, Item #23-2). Remove the heating element
by lifting off the eyelets of the heating element from the mounting spring on both ends.
5. Peel off the PTFE adhesive under the heating element.

Figure 7. Loosen multi-star knob to remove the PTFE roller.
Installing New Replacement Parts.
1. Remove the backing of the liner found on the PTFE adhesive.
2. Apply it to the sealer’s sealing platform. The PTFE adhesive must always extend past the sealing
platform by approximately ¼” to ½” on both ends. Bend down the excess on both ends. (The
PTFE adhesive acts a barrier between the metal body and the heating element. Never allow the
heating element to come in direct contact with the sealer’s body because it will damage the timer.)
3. Place a new element on top of the PTFE adhesive by fitting one eyelet of the heating element on
one mounting spring followed by the other mounting spring. Using a screwdriver to flex the
mounting spring inward will ease the placement of the element on the mounting spring. Check
the elements to ensure it is tight and intact.
4. Cut off any worn out PTFE cover. Ease out enough footage of PTFE cover to cover the heating
element and extend to the front of the PTFE cover plate.
5. Tighten the screws to affix the PTFE cover plate.
6. If a whole roll of PTFE cover needs to be replaced, loosen the multi-star knob (Figure 10, Item
#15)found on the plate for PTFE (Figure 10, Item #14) and remove the PTFE cover roller
(Figure 10, Item #18). Tape one end of the PTFE cover to the rod and roll up the entire piece.
Position the PTFE cover and rod using the plate for PTFE. Ease out enough footage of PTFE
cover to cover the heating element and extend to the front of the PTFE cover plate.

Microwswitch Adjustment
Sometimes the microswitch (also called the trigger switch) is moved out of alignment (during shipment or
sharp movements) and needs a simple adjustment to get the unit back to proper working order.
Check for the "Click"
The microswitch activates the electrical current to heat the element. When the sealing arm meets the base of
the sealer, the microswitch will activate. User should hear the "click" of the microswitch activation. If the
"click" is intermittent, this means the microswitch is not triggered and no electrical current is passing
through.
How to Make Adjustments
1. Before operating, turn off unit and unplug.
2. Locate the microswitch which is located at the front of the body. Carefully remove the cover in
order to access the microswitch.
3. Make sure the microswitch is screwed tightly to base. If not tighten.
4. Make sure the microswitch lever touches the middle of the microswitch actuator
5. Make sure the microwswitch actuator is underneath the microswitch lever. Sometimes the
microswitch actuator moves above the microswitch lever during shipping.
