Chapter 3. Machine adjustment and setting up

3.2. Film reel insertion

!
Insert the reel of film on the roller (6) and block it through the centering cones (7) (figure 3.2. page 59).
!
Position the roller on the film reel support.
!
Run through the micropunches (8).
!
Run the film lower layer under the packaging plate (9).
!
Run the film upper layer over the packaging plate (9).

3.3. Reticulated plate installation

The reticulated plate (11) can be placed according to the height of the product to pack.
To position it follow this procedure (figure 3.3. page 59):
!
Pull the reticulated plate in direction of the arrows
!
Remove it from the stops
!
Position the plate on the stops at the required height
N.B.: For a proper packaging the reticulated plate must be positioned so that film sealing is at the half of the package
height.

3.4. Reel support and packaging plate adjustment

The reel support (5) and the packaging plate (9) 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 3.4. page 59).

3.5. Execution of 1^ film sealing

Place film as shown in the picture to carry out the first seal (figure 3.5. page 59). Lower the handle of the cover with your
left hand and make a pressure of 10-15 Kg. Machine will automatically operate and the first seal will be carried out on the
side of the film. With the right hand detach the film from the sealing blade.

3.6. Film binding on rewinder

Carry out a number of cycles sufficient to make a strip of scrap film (figure 3.6.A page 59).
Guide this film strip around the transmission rolls and the driving rolls and bind it with the coiler (29) (figure 3.6.B page
59). The machine is now ready to start the packaging.

3.7. Introducing the object to be wrapped

With the left hand slide on the packaging plate the quantity of film necessary to contain the product to be packed.
Introduce the product into the bag using the right hand and make it slide to the left until it is laid on the screen leaving a
little space of about 1-2 cm to allow the passage of air for shrinkwrapping (figure 3.7. page 59).

3.8. Making up

By pushing the cover handle with a pressure of 15 Kg. the cover rests on the sealing blade (figure 3.8. page 60); by
pinching the film, it is automatically sealed on the open sides (right and front). In case you have selected the function
"SEALING +SHRINKWRAPPING" you will see the film shrink onto the product. Slightly decrease the pressure on the
cover handle to allow film detach from the sealing area on the inside. With the right and detach the film from the sealing
blade towards the outside.

Chapter 4. Limits and conditions in the use of machine

4.1. Max. packing sizes

FM75 Digit a = mm 400
FM76 Digit a = mm 500
N.B.: 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
•
Bulk materials with grain size smaller than the holes of the reticulated plate
•
Any materials and products not listed but which might harm operator and cause damages to the
machine.
b = mm 250 c = mm 200 (figure 4.1. page 60).
b = mm 380 c = mm 250 (figure 4.1. page 60).
