Chapter 3. Machine adjustment and setting up

3.4. Film reel insertion

Insert the roll of film on the roller (11) and block it through the centering cones (12)

Position the roller on the film reel support (13)

Move the film over the film drive roller (16) (for Modular 70 only)

Run through the micropunches (14)

Move the film over the film drive roller (17)

Run the film lower layer under the packaging plate (15)

Run the film upper layer over the packaging plate (15)


3.5. Conveyor belt adjustment

Adjust the height of the conveyor belt (19) with the special handwheel (20) (figure 3.5. page 60).
N.B.: In order to get a good packaging the conveyor belt should be positioned in such a way, that the film sealing is made
at half the packaging height.

3.6. Reel support and packaging plate adjustment

The reel support (13) and the packaging plate (15) must be adjusted according to the width of the article to be packaged,
leaving a space of about 1-2 cm between the article and the welding edge (figure 3.6. page 60).

3.7. Execution of 1^ film sealing

To carry out the 1^ sealing move the film, as shown in the figure (figure 3.7. page 60).
Rotate the selector (6) to "MAN." position and press the start button (7).
The machine will automatically start operating, and the first sealing will be performed on the film's left side.
With the right hand detach the film from the sealing blade.

3.8. Film coupler on wrapping machine

Carry out a number of cycles sufficient to make a strip of scrap film.
Guide this film strip around the transmission rolls (20) and (21) and the driving roll (22) and couple it with the coiler (23)
(figure 3.8. page 60). The machine is now ready to start the packaging.
3.9. Introduction of the product to be packaged
Lift the film edge on the packaging plate (15) with your left hand (figure 3.9. page 61).
Introduce the product with your right hand in the film and move if to the left until it settles on the conveyor belt (19)
leaving about 1-2 cm space between the product and the outer edge of the sealing frame.
3.10. Packaging
Press the ON push-button (7). The sealing frame will automatically lower to cut and seal the film (figure 3.10. page 61).
When the frame opens again, the packed product will be fed towards the roller way (18). Thus, the sealing area will be
released and ready to start a new sealing cycle. If the machine is set to operate in automatic mode, it will restart work
according to the rhythm set by programming.

Chapter 4. Limits and conditions in the use of machine

4.1. Max. weight and dimensions of the package

Modular 50 a = mm 500
Modular 70 a = mm 750
NOTE: The weight to be considered is the total weight distributed on the conveyor belt, and not the one of the single
package.
NOTE: max. dimensions shown on above scheme are referring to the max. dimension of the single package.
Refer to chapter 5.2. to get max. dimension of package (b x c); the addition of (b + c) is equal to film roll width 100
mm.

4.2. Items which must not be packed

The below listed products must absolutely not be wrapped to avoid damages to the machine and serious injuries to the
operator in charge:
Wet and unstable products

Liquids of any kind and density in fragile containers

Flammable and explosive materials

Pressurised gas cylinder of any kind

Bulk and volatile powders

 Any materials and products not listed but which might harm operator and cause damages to the machine
(figure 3.4. page 60).
b = mm 380 c = mm 100
b = mm 500 c = mm 140
(Pic.4.1.)
Max. weight. Kg.12 (figure 4.1. page 61).
Max. weight Kg.16 (figure 4.1. page 61).
