Operation and sealing process
The material to be sealed must be sealed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Set the peel edge width:
After the locking machine has been loosened, the peel edge can be set by shifting the in
feed section variably between 5 mm and 30 mm. A sufficient protrusion must be available
between the sealing seam and the reel interface given on the extraction side (in
accordance with DIN 58953-7 min. 10 mm).
Sterilization packaging must be inserted from the left-hand side, always with the side to be
printed face down.
The drive is switched on automatically.
Remove the sealed sterilization packaging and leave briefly to cool.
Sealable pouches and reels must only be filled to ¾ full (DIN 58953-7). The limited
filling prevents a load that is too large from being placed on the sealing seams.
The correct sealing temperature must be identified by means of sealing tests.
Sealing must be performed in such a way that the sealing seam meets the quality
characteristics requirements of EN ISO 11607-2, even with varying material
thicknesses. The following quality characteristics must be met:
hawotest SEAL CHECK is considered suitable for checking these quality
characteristics.
