When operating, pay attention to the sound of machine, whether it

is rough or abnormal, quickly discriminate the unusual running

sound before an accident.

Oil the machine before operating.

Often clean crossbar seal with copper brush to keep it clean.

Check the heating part of crossbar seal before operating. Change it

immediately if broken.

Check the fastening parts regularly. Fasten or connect if loose or

unconnected.

Later, change the oil every 2000 hours. Add oil to the center of

oil leveler sight glass in gearbox.

Check all the parts of machine regularly. If broken, change or fix

the part immediately.

Chapter 5: Machine adjustment to prevent problems

A) Part of the machine doesn’t work

1) Main circuit breaker or connecting wire is cut off: connect the wire.

If main circuit breaker doesn’t work, change it.

2) Main motor is loose and not running, check electrical connections

and power for correct function -- Electrician should perform this task

3) Fuse wire burned off. Change with another fuse of the same

ampere.

4) Connecting screw and bonding of toothed wheel or latch has

become loose. Refasten the loose screw and bonding. Start

checking from the main circuit breaker, according to running order.

5) Something unknown falls into the toothed wheels and other parts.

If so, motor will give out some unusual sound. If you do not deal

with it immediately, motor will easily burn down. Take out the

unknown matter.

6) Too great pressure on lateral and longitudinal seal parts; span

adjustment is too small. Readjust span and pressure.

17


B) Failure in Cut-off knife cannot cut off the membrane

1) Unsuitable lateral seal part pressure or span. Resolution: readjust

pressure and span

2) Edge of Cut-off Knife Broken. If small, grind with oilstone; if

big, repair with grinding machine.

3) Failure in Membrane Guide Slot. The membrane cannot seize or

disengage the longitudinal seal part or the two ends are not unlevel.

4) Membrane loading, membrane guide slot and centers of

longitudinal seal and lateral seal are not in the same straight line.

Adjust it and guide slot to the same line.

5) Guide slot inclines too much. Adjust guide slot.

C) Failure in Electricity

1) Too strong hot seal current or fuse wire burned off. The

short-circuit in electric heater or hot seal circuit

2) Hot seal block is not hot

A) The heating wire burns off

B) The hot seal fuse wire has fused

C) Failure in thermal control unit.

18


D) If the green and red lights on the temperature controllers don't

change intermittently during regulation

Then the temperature could be set too high or the elements could be

open circuit

The temperature circuit consists of the following control items.

1: Fuse

2: Temperature sensor

3: Temperature controller

4: Heating elements

Note: Either one of these items that do not function correctly can

cause temperature control issues, refer to electrical diagram too fault

find.

The elements are 115v AC and are connected in series. Failure to connect

in series will result in excessive voltage being applied to the elements and

failure will result

E) Paper feeding motor doesn’t work

1) The position switches do not work. Replace with another

2) The capacitor has burnt out. Replace with another

3) The motor burns out. Replace with another.

4) The paper feeding fuse has burn off. Replace with another one of

the same ampere.

F) Counter for packing bags doesn’t work

1) The position switches is not working. Replace or adjust the

latch’s span.

2) Counter is broken you need to replace it.

G) Photo electricity tracking doesn’t work

The photo sensor for eye mark tracking is very sensitive and requires

that the paper be an even and consistent distance from the light

source. A metal holder guide plate has been supplied so that the paper

remains constant in the metal plate.

Please line up the eye mark so that the eye source is in the centre of

the registration mark. See picture attached.

Chapter 10: How to operate the machine

Check if the cutter and feeding clutch is disengaged. Please switch on

machine, indicator of power is light. The vertical and horizontal sealing

bars are heating up.

Change the temperatures of vertical and horizontal controllers for various

films. Usually it is between 100℃ and 250℃. Load the packing film and

draw the film to the vertical rollers and aligned to them. On length track

by hand input, the tolerance error of real bag is 1mm length compared

with length between 2 labels on film. Also can select mark model by

photocell detect the 2 labels to decide bag length.

28


Chapter 11: How to stop the machine

Press motor stop, turn off power switch and disengage filling system

Chapter 12: Notes

Please pay attention to any abnormal sounds when the machine is

running, if there are any, immediately stop the machine and rectify

the problem

After putting the material to the machine, if the machine cannot

start for a long time or stop, please run the machine to the sealing

position which the longitudinal sealing part and transverse sealing

part are separate.

29


Note: Please make sure that the jaws for horizontal and vertical

sealing are not too tightly set and are in line, if not please re-adjust.

The knife must enter the slot on the horizontal jaws for cutting to be

effective; if the knife does not enter the slot provided for the knife

will break.

Please clean longitudinal and transverse sealing part surface with

copper brush often, if there are PE or dust on the surface, it will

influence the sealing.

Please cut off the power switch when you are checking and

cleaning the machine.

Between the longitudinal sealing and transverse sealing, do not use

hands or let other parts touch them when machine is running.

Check each the fastening parts timing, checking if the connection is

loose in order to eliminate any problem over time.

According to the requirement add refuel on time.

Chapter 13: Troubleshooting

13.1. What to do it if the difference in temperature is large showing

by the temperature controller?

Answer：

Press the <AT> key on the temperature controller more than 10

seconds till the <AT> indicator light on. The temperature controller

will correct by it, the normal difference in temperature is within 2ºC.

13.2. What to do it if the speed of making bags is sometimes higher

and sometimes lower?

Answer:

A) The reason is the length we set is far different as the actual

distance between the two marks. We should make the tolerance within

±1mm.

31


B) The sensitivity we set on the photoelectric probe is too high, so the

mistake can happen. The best way to sent the sensitivity is :Setting

lower sensitivity, turn the knob left till the indicator light on ,then

setting the higher sensitivity slowly by turning the knob to the right,

stop it immediately as soon as the indicator light glints. This will be

the best sensitivity.

C) While making the bags, photoelectric probe meets other colors on

the film.

Note: Please make sure that the eye mark has a clear and

uninterrupted path that does not interfere with the eye mark.

D) When the horizontal sealing rollers are parallel, the eccentric

wheel of the length is not at a 45º angle.

32


13.3. What to do it if the sides of the bags made by the running

machine are not symmetrical?

Answer:

A) Adjust the bag former, make the midline of the bag former and the

midline of the film, horizontal sealing roller and vertical sealing roller

on one line.

Measure:

Loose the four snails on the bag former, hold the bag former by one

hand, another hand knocks the bag former lightly to make the bag

former move to the unsymmetrical side.

B) Adjust the stand of the bag former fore-and-after; make it vertical

with the electricity box.

Measure:

Loose the up and down snails, move the stand to the side face which

the paper comes out from.

33


C) Inspect whether the two sides of the film are symmetrical when the

film is running out of the bottom of the bag former.

Measure:

If you find that the film coming out on the one side is less than

another side at the bottom of the bag former, you can move the lesser

side by using screwdriver lightly.

D) Inspect whether the hoop on the bottom of the bag former is too

loose?

Measure:

(1) Insert one empty bag into the space between the hoop and the

packing material; make the packing material cling to the bag former.

(Please refer to the chart 6.)

34


(2.) Make one end of the hoop open; insert the film, set a good

clearance, at last close the hoop again.

13.4. What to do if you always have material in the sealing area of the

bag while the machine is running?

Answer：

Set the time of the feeding material: It will be OK if there is no

material when the cross roller works.

13.5. What to do it if the bags are always declining, not rectangular?

Answer：

Setting the stand of the bag former you make it with the vertical with

the horizontal sealing roller.

Measure:

Loosen the two snails on the stand and move it forwards or

backwards.

35


13.6. The cutter of the machine closes but cannot cut off the film,

what’s wrong with it?

Answer：

The main principle of the cutter is to cut through the film, make sure

the blade cutter moves through the film completely, +- 10mm

Measure：

A) Increase the temperature of the horizontal sealing roller properly.

B) While adjusting the pressure, please notice the balance of the

pressure.

C) If the bag is pillow shape, we can adjust the vertical sealing area to

5mm, to make sure the high quality sealing; of the horizontal sealing

area and vertical sealing area.

36


13.7. What kind of packing film should be used? How to confirm the

bag size?

Answer：

Because IMC packing machine adopts continuous sealing measure,

the packing material is running under high temperature and high

pressure. The melting point of outside layer and inside layer of the

film should be different the more different the better. It is the best if

the outside layer doesn’t distort when the inside layer seals strong. If

the difference of the two melting point are small, the inside layer

cannot be sealed under low temperature or the outside layer will be

melted under high temperature. Typical type of material to be used

will consist of PET/PE Laminate

Suggestion 1：

According to the different packing material, the different temperature

resistance, Oxygen permeability of per square meter in 20 hours is

different. We suggest you choose PET as the outside layer.

37


Suggestion 2：

Due to the fact that the raw material has to fall to the packet, this

takes time and some aeration occurs. There should be sufficient head

space in the packet to accumulate for this, +- 1/3 of the space should

be head space and 2/3 will be for product.

Note: There should never be any raw material in between the seal

area or a bad seal will result and product leakage

13.8. What to do it if the finished bag releases air?

Answer：

A) Inspect the film whether the layers have separated?

Measure:

Put the film in hand, twine it again and again, inspect if the layers

have separated.

B) Inspect if there are burrs on the sealing roller.

Measure:

Burnish the two sides of the sealing roller by sand paper.

38


13.9. What to do if when the cups overfull from the desired weight?

A) Inspect if the scraper is scraping the tops of the cups if you feel

that the scraper needs to be adjusted loosen the red screw and adjust

the level downwards

13.10. What to do if you have difficulty in disengaging the filling

system?

A) When you move the lever an open and close position the

connecting part must move, you should make an adjustment with the

screw by turning it inwards and outwards to receive your desired

action. The screw must not be too tight or to lose.

Lever open Lever closed Screw

39


Note: While the machine is running you may have difficulty in

disengaging the filling system when the machine is new.
