3.1
Adding Teflon to Rubber Strip and Cleaning
New rubber is often sticky when initially used causing bags to cling to the rubber when sealed. But after
a short period, the rubber will become slick and not cling to the bag material. Self-adhesive Teflon strips
may be added to the rubber pressure strip if the product continually sticks to the rubber strip or to improve
seal integrity. Periodically clean the rubber strip with alcohol to remove contaminants and plastic
buildup.
3.2
Rubber Strip Replacement
Through normal use, the rubber strip will wear causing seal quality problems. The rubber will also wear
prematurely if contacting the product during the seal operation. When the wear affects the seal quality,
replace the rubber strip by following these procedures:
1.
Remove air from the unit, turn the T-200
power “OFF” and unplug the power cord.
2.
Remove Lexan Cover.
3.
Remove the screws holding the Pressure
Bar to the Seal Blocks to take the rubber
strip holder out.
Note: Keep hardware in
safe place to reuse later.
4.
Remove the worn rubber pad by pulling
from the end corner of the rubber strip.
Once started, the rubber will easily slide
out from the metal pressure strip housing.
See Figure 3-1.
5.
Clean out the metal slot with alcohol and
a cloth or brush.
6.
Slide the extruded rubber into the metal
housing slot starting at one end and
continuing to work the rubber along the
length of the slot. When into position,
the rubber strip should be loose in the
slot.
CAUTION: Metal housing for rubber strip has sharp corners and sharp edges. When rubber is
removed, carefully clean slot with thick cloth not allowing contact with fingers or hands.
7.
Reattach the Rubber strip holder back to the Seal Blocks using the same hardware from before.
