Chapter 3. Machine adjustment and setting up

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 67):
!
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 67).
Unscrew the knob (4) in front of the packaging plate to adjust its position according to the width of the object to be
packaged. After the regulation tighten the knob.

3.5. Execution of 1^ film sealing

Place film as shown in the picture to carry out the first seal (figure 3.5. page 67).
Use both hands to lower down the hood handle and exert a slight pressure. The magnet action will hold the hood closed
for the set up time.
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 towards the outside.

3.6. Film binding on rewinder (where expected)

Carry out a number of cycles sufficient to make a strip of scrap film (figure 3.6.A page 67).
Let it run around the transmission supports (26) and (27), the control roll (28) and hook it on the rewinder (29) (figure
3.6.B page 67). 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 reticulated plate
leaving a little space of about 1-2 cm to allow the passage of air for shrinkwrapping (figure 3.7.A page 67).
Please Note. The product must be arranged on the reticulated plate (11) by laying it on the 4 or 6 supports (33)
(according to the product size) supplied. The product remains slightly lifted from the reticulated plate, thus providing for a
better air passage for heat shrinkage (figure 3.7.B page 68).

3.8. Making up

By pushing the cover handle the cover rests on the sealing blade (figure 3.8. page 68); by pinching the film, it is
automatically sealed on the open sides (right and front).
You will see the film shrink around the product (except for programme P01).
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

Galaxy a = mm 410
Galileo 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 310 c = mm 180 (figure 4.1. page 68).
b = mm 400 c = mm 180 (figure 4.1. page 68).
