MAIN FRAME ASSEMBLY
The main frame assembly of this machine consists of the
rails, conveyor drive motor and operator panel.
TUNNEL CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY MESH BELT
Assembly consists of the tunnel conveyor belt
assembly including the DC gear motor. The belt is
heated by a 500W heat element mounted under the
conveyor pan. The heated belt provides positive shrink
on the bottom of the package. The assembly also
includes belt guides and tracking screws.
TUNNEL CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY HEATED BELT
Assembly consists of the heated belt including the
DC gear motor. The belt is heated by a 500W heating
element mounted under the conveyor pan. The heated
belt provides positive shrink on the bottom of the
package. The assembly also includes belt guides and
tracking screws.
TUNNEL ASSEMBLY
The tunnel assembly set on the tunnel conveyor uses
heated recirculated air to shrink the film onto the
package. The assembly has its own power cord and
requires a dedicated 20 Amp circuit. The blower motor
runs in a counterclockwise direction when looking at the
non-shaft end.
IMPORTANT! Prior to machine set up and
installation the general warnings should be
read and fully understood by all personnel
associated with this machinery.
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Remove the tunnel from the crate or box.
Inspect for damage.
2. If available, attach the console stand to the tunnel
conveyor rails. See the enclosed instructions for the
stand. Level the machine using the levelers.
3. Place the tunnel on the conveyor with the operator
panel toward the front.
4. Remove any ties used for shipping.
5. Connect machine to power source. Power supply
for the tunnel should be 120 Volt, 10 Amp grounded
power supply. (Have an electrician install a plug on
the power cord if you are plugging the tunnel into
an electrical outlet.)
