Installation and Set-Up (Continued)

8.Install case sealer in production line. When installing the case sealer, be sure to observe the following guidelines.

a.Case sealer must be installed level – it is not designed to convey boxes uphill.

b.Infeed conveyor must convey boxes to case sealer at a speed not to exceed 0.30 m/s [60 f/m].

c.Precautions must be taken to prevent excessive box pressure against the case sealer infeed gate. This will help to prevent damage to the boxes and ensure proper performance.

d.Infeed and exit conveyors must provide straight entrance and exit of boxes to/from case sealer and exit conveyor must positively convey boxes away from machine.

e.Refer to Figure 2-3 for suggested conveyor types that can be used with the case sealer.

Figure 2-3 – Conveyor Systems

9.Adjust case sealer bed height. The adjustable legs provide different machine bed heights from 610 mm [24 inches] minimum to 890 mm

[35 inches] maximum.

Refer to Figure 2-4 and set the machine bed height as follows:

a.Block up the machine frame to allow adequate leg adjustment.

b.Loosen, but do not remove, two M8 x 1.25 mm socket head screws in one leg (use M6 hex key wrench). Adjust the leg length for the desired machine bed height. Retighten the two screws to secure the leg. Adjust all four legs equally.

10.Tape width – the taping heads have been pre- set to accommodate 72 mm [3 inch] wide tape

rolls. To apply narrower width tapes, refer to	Figure 2-4 – Conveyor Bed Height Adjustment
Section II, "Adjustments – Tape Web
Alignment", page 11.
