Chapter 4. Film features
4.1. Films to be used
The machine can work with all heat-shrink and non-heat-shrink films (polyethlylene and polypropylene), from 15 to 30
microns in thickness, of a technical and food type. To guarantee the best results, use the films marketed by us.
The special features of our films (which may be customised with drawings and text) assure their outstanding reliability,
with regard both to compliance with laws in force and to excellent machine performance.
Consult the data and safety sheets of the films in use and observe the corresponding instructions!
Maximum reel width: 650mm
Chapter 5. Safety standard
5.1. General precautions
THE MACHINE CAN NOT BE USED BY UNTRAINED PERSONNEL!
Before acting on the machine to adjust, service and repair it:
put the machine in safe conditions by pressing the "emergency" button arranged on the control panel
power off the machine by turning the main switch to "0"
remove the supply plug.
The removal of cases, doors or walls in unsafe conditions may cause the operator/maintenance man to
come into contact with moving members, hot parts and live devices
If safety devices are either removed or tampered with by the user, this will relieve the supplier of any
civil and criminal liability.
5.2. Specific precautions
The welding pliers which will alternatively move will never reach a high temperature which may be considered as
dangerous. However, never touch the welding rod (or the hot wire) arranged beneath the lower profile of the welding
burner and hidden between the 2 film pressing slides. Pay great attention when you are working in the proximity of the
members above since there is the potential risk of accidentally coming into contact with very hot parts.
The device for the central welding will keep a higt temperature many minutes after the machine has been disabled and its
protections have been opened. Pay great attention when you are working in the proximity of the members above since
there is the potential risk of accidentally coming into contact with very hot parts (200°!).
It is recommended to use protection gloves.
The reset of the machine in automatic mode will necessarily require the inspection doors to be closed.
The machine is complete with a safety micro switch which will signal when the trasversal welding area cover 7 is open
(figure 1.3. page 15). This device will cause the machine to stop when the cover above is open.
In case of blocking of the machine or in order to stop it during the automatic cycle press the EMERGENCY
PUSHBUTTON (7).
Rotate clockwise to release and press the RESET button.
