VIII. TUNING SIDE SEAL BLADE/ROLLER SYSTEM
Sideseal backup rollers will last approximately 40 hours of machine run time. They can be flipped 180
degrees for another 40 hours of operation. This is a quick operation. Adjust the seal height adjustment
crank until the entire sideseal backup roller is visible above the conveyor. Using the palms of your
hands, peel the backup roller off the aluminum hub. Use caution around the round seal blades, they are
hot. Flip seal backup ring and reapply.
Maximizing Life of the Sideseal Backup Roller
Serial number S1029 and earlier:
A)
Remove guards covering sideseal.
B)
Physically push sideseal arm downward, over-powering the air cylinder until the arm engages the
stop adjustment bolt. Examine the round seal blade system where it contacts the sideseal backup
roller. The blade should barely touch the backup roller with no visible sign of backup roller
compressing under the blade. Adjust sideseal arm stop bolt if necessary.
C)
Run a piece of scrap film through the sideseal to ensure temperature is 425
-500
F. Adjust the
sideseal arm adjustment bolt until the blade cuts the film clean. Excessive blade penetration into
the backup roller will cause premature wearing of the backup roller.
D)
When satisfied with seal, lock jam nut on sideseal arm adjustment stop bolt.
E) Replace
guards.
Serial number S-1030 and later:
A)
Sideseal guard removal is not necessary. The sideseal-adjusting bolt can be accessed through the
stainless cover with a 5/16” Allen wrench. The locking nut is not used on the later machines.
The adjustment procedure is the same as above.
