Above supporting equipment (including air compressor, air filter, air tank, cold dryer, nitrogen
maker) are all bought by customers. User shall select proper nitrogen maker according to the actual
situation. if nitrogen preservation is required in the packing bag. nitrogen maker must be used.

2.1 Air compressor

Air is compressed and sent power to relevant equipment. It is a common power supplier because
mechanical or hydraulic power transmission is not suitable in some areas. The capacity of widely
used air compressor is 7kg. for the moisture in the air, a portion can be discharged because of the
temperature rise or drop (air is compressed and become warm, but need cooling). It does not relate
to water extraction.

2.2 Air filter

It generally includes metal and paper types, is used to filter dust and other particles in the air,
improve air quality. Oil filter is to filter the impurities in oils and improve oil’s service life and
protect the machine’s running parts. Oil-gas separator is used to separate the oil and gas from
compressed air and improve air quality.

2.3 Air tank

It’s a buffer, makes air supply more stable, reduces frequent air compressor starts. It also let the
compressed air deposit in the air tank, being more favorable for the removal of water and pollutants.

2.4 Cold dryer

The compressed air being treated enters into the cold dryer to cool down; partial water vapor in
the compressed air is liquefied and discharged, making the air drier and increasing the service life
of pneumatic components.

2.5 Nitrogen maker

It’s mainly used is to change the air atmosphere and attain the processing environmental
requirements, therefore increase food preservation time.

6. Adjustment of color code cutting position

6.1 Color code detection sensor and sensitivity adjustment

The color code detection sensor integrates the technologies of optics, semiconductor
optoelectronics and modem, boasts high sensitivity, quick response, resistance against background
light interference, compact structure and easy for use and so on. It’s used as a sensor in the
packaging machine control system, can detect the color code or other marking pattern colors, lines
or objects, achieve automatic positioning, length setting, color decision, cutting, correction,
register, technology and other functions. It’s used to decide bag length and determine cutting
position. Because the color of customer’s packing film may vary with our film used for machine
test the color code sensor will not detect the color code, then the sensor sensitivity shall be set
again.

As figure shown:

1) Packing film ground color side

2) Sensitivity adjustment knob

3) Signal light

4) Packing film color block

5) Locking handle

6.1.1 Loosen the locking handle of the color code sensor and move the sensor; align the beam of
light with center of the ground color side (light side), and fix it, as shown above.

6.1.2 Aim the light spot at the dark (dim) color block (usually the color code) on the measured
surface; turn clockwise the sensitivity knob to the bottom, then adjust it so that the light is at the
just off state, keep in mind the knob position (set as point A);

6.1.3 Then aim the light spot at the light (bright) color block (usually the ground color) on the
measured surface; turn counterclockwise the sensitivity knob, making the light at the just off state,
keep in mind the knob position (set as point B);

Page ３８ of 46
6.1.4 Then turn the knob to the center of A and B at which the output sensitivity is the best. The
greater distance between A and B indicates greater color difference and stable detection. However,
at least a case of distance is needed between two points. User may appropriately adjust the tilt
between sensor and the measured surface.

6.1.5 Detection of color block: Draw the packing film forward by hand to let the light beam
irradiates the color block (black point); the optical light turns off, indicating normal setting of
optical tracing; packing bag length must be the same as the actual color code distance.

 VIII. Troubleshooting

1. Failure: Leakage protection switch trips

Causes: 1) Insulating skin of AC equipment cable wears and contacts machine housing.
2) The heating tubes/ pieces of Horizontal sealing and Vertical sealing consumes electric
power (including the 220V AC power for the machine).

Solutions: 1) Check the damage degree of the cable and replace it, make insulation protection.
2) Replace the heating tubes (pieces), check the leakage degree of electrical devices
and replace with new AC appliances.

2. Failure: Operation interface is not shown

Cause: 1) No electric power output at 24VDC switch power supply.

2) Fuse of touch screen is damaged.

Solutions: 1) Check the fuse inside the switch power supply or use a new switching power supply.
2) Check the fuse inside the touch screen or change the touch screen.

3. Failure: Horizontal sealing and Vertical sealing heating tubes (pieces) don’t work

Causes: 1) Corresponding circuit breaker trips.

2) Heat tube (piece) is damaged.
3) Solid-state relay is damaged.
4) Heating electrical wire or thermocouple is in open circuit.
5) Thermostat is damaged or temperature regulation fails.

Solutions: 1) Check and eliminate short circuit, switch on again.

2) Use a new heating tube (piece).
3) Use a new solid-state relay.
4) Use a new transmission cable or thermocouple.
5) Use a new thermostat.

4. Failure: Thermostat shows temperature fluctuation in machine running, while temperature

becomes normal in shutdown.

Failure: The electrical wire connecting the solid-state relay to the heating tube (piece) is in a semi-
open state. Because the electrical wire at the external Horizontal sealing and Vertical sealing bends
greatly during machine running, causes copper core break for a long time; it’s in contact state
during shutdown or open in the runtime.

Solution: Replace the electrical wire that connects the solid-state relay to the heating tube (piece).

5. Failure: Poor sealing effects and air leak

Page ４０ of 46
Causes: 1) Temperature of Horizontal sealing and Vertical sealing jaw is set too low.
2) Sealing pressure is too small.
3) Material attaches at the teeth of Horizontal sealing and Vertical sealing jaw.
4) Parallelism of Horizontal sealing and Vertical sealing jaw dislocates the meshing
degree.
5) Total air pressure is too low.
6) Quality of packing film material.

Solutions: 1) Increase Horizontal sealing and Vertical sealing temperature.

2) Increase Horizontal sealing and Vertical sealing pressure.
3) Clean the sealing roller with cloth.
4) Regulate sealing roller parallelism and meshing degree to make sealing roller teeth
coincide without much gap.
5) Increase air pressure, ensuring it no lower than 6KG.
6) Change the packing film material.

6. Failure: Packing bag length errors much, trace fails

Causes: 1) Pulling belt slips, leading to insufficient pulling length.

2) Bag length setting is not greater than the distance between color codes.
3) Color tracing photocell is not correctly set; improper sensitivity.
4) Color block (bottom side) of roll film has pattern or stain.
5) Laminated panel at color code photoelectric deforms and causes film jump.
6) The light beam of color code photoelectric deviates during operation.

Solutions: 1) Turn off the optical tracing function; make five empty bags in succession and check
the length (>10mm means slip); check vacuum pump suction, ensuring same pull length.
2) If color code distance is X, bag length shall be set at (X +50 MM).
3) See the photocell adjustment method.
4) Replace the packing film.
5) Calibrate the photocell plywood, ensure only one film can pass the pressed part
without film jump.
6) Adjust corresponding optical head and color block position.

7. Failure: Packing bags connect together and deny cutting.

Causes: 1) Cutter teeth bend or become blunt.

2) Sealing roller teeth meshing position offsets.
3) Cutter delay does not match the cutter action time setting.
4) Given continuous packing number is not closed.

Solutions: 1) Sharpen teeth with a file or use a new cutter.

2) Adjust Horizontal sealing parallelism to ease cutter movement in the cutter slot of
Horizontal sealing.
3) Reset the cutter delay and cutter action time.
4) Close the continuous packing number setting, set it at 1 bag.

Page ４１ of 46
8. Failure: Unwind film motor does not run or keeps running when power is supplied.

Causes: 1) Motor’s start capacitor is burnt.

2) The solid-state relay or intermediate relay used to control the motor is damaged.
3) Motor fails.

Solutions: 1) Change with a start capacitor of the same type.

2) Change the solid-state relay or intermediate relay.
3) Replace the motor.

9. Failure: Film pulling system or the feeding conveyor does not work.

Causes: 1) Servo motor or motor failure alarm.

2) Inverter overload alarms or thermal overload protector fails.

Solutions: 1) Turn off main power for about 1 minute and then restart the machine. If it can’t be
used again, check the alarm code shown on the display of the servo motor and contact us.
2) Turn off main power for about 1 minute and then restart the machine. If it can’t be
used again, check the alarm code shown on the display of the servo drive and contact us.

10. Failure: The machine can not run when it’s switched on.

Causes: 1) The emergency switch in a disconnected state.

2) No operating parameter is set correctly.
3) PLC or operator interface fails.

Solutions: 1) Reset the emergency switch.

2) Re-set relevant parameters.

3) Replace PLC or the operating interface.

11. Failure: Printed date is not clear or air leaks at the date

Causes: 1) Temperature is not properly set, causing little ink goes out of cartridge.
2) Great distance between printing head and the roof.
3) Ink cartridge fails.
4) Excessively high temperature or printing date machine cylinder pressure.

Solutions: 1) Raise the thermostat temperature, reaching the ribbon de-inking temperature.
2) Regulate distance between print head and roof, ensuring top of character just touches
the packaging film.
3) Use quality printing ribbon.
4) Reduce heating temperature, and reduce cylinder pressure by regulating throttle
valve.

12. Failure: Material is clamped

Page ４２ of 46
Causes: 1) Improper feeding time.
2) Excessively quick packing speed; material is light less or rolls in the hopper.
3) Given bag length is short, can’t allow for the material.
4) Parameters of packing system and metering system do not match.

Solutions: 1) Regulate the feeding time.

2) Slow down packing speed to prevent material rolls in the hopper.
3) Increase bag length till it’s suitable for the position of material to be packed.
4) Regulate the operating parameters of packing machine and weighing system.

 IX. Machine maintenance

1. Replacement of wearing parts

1.1 Replacement pulling belt

The pulling belt shall be changed in case of bag pulling slip or serious belt grains abrasion:
Unfasten M16 outer nut, then M8 hex screw, and loosen it till reaching the film pulling belt; use a
new pulling belt and fasten the screw upward till the belt tension; then lock M16 outer nut. During
belt fitting, be attentive to proper tightness, as shown below.

1.2 Replacement of cutter

Unfasten the two M6 inner screws, remove the old cutter from the Horizontal sealing roller slot
(preventing roller scalding), fit the new cutter; be attentive to the symmetry of both ends of cutter,
then lock M6 screws, as shown below.

1.3 Replacement of high-temp. tape on the forming set barrel

When the high-temp. tape attached to the forming set barrel wears or falls off, replace with a new
one. Before replacement, clean with cleaning liquid the place where is to accept the tape to prevent
feeble adhesion, as shown below.
