WARNINGS
Every effort has been taken to ensure your safety while operating this
machine; however, there still remain certain risks. Do not allow this machine to
be operated before informing all personnel of the following warnings.
WARNING……….
Do not tamper with the electrical wiring. Only use a licensed electrician
for maintenance. Always disconnect the electrical power before attempting any
maintenance to all electrical and/or moving parts.
WARNING……….
In order to prevent injury to personnel and/or machinery DO NOT
INCREASE SETTINGS OR RATINGS ON EITHER ELECTRICAL OR
MECHANICAL OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICES.
WARNING……….
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM MOVTNG CONVEYORS AND
ASSEMBLIES. Conveyor belts that have become worn or frayed are capable of
being hazardous. They should be replaced promptly.
WARNING……….
NEVER OPERATE THIS OR ANY MOVING EQUIPMENT
WTTHOUT ALL COVERS AND GUARDS IN PLACE. The internal
mechanism of most packaging machinery contains numerous shear, pinch, and
in running nip points, many of which are capable of causing severe injury
and/or permanent disfigurement.
WARNING……….
To minimize the potential for personnel injury, always be sure that

DESCRIPTION:
The purpose of the AP-1622 sealer is for low volume packaging requiring
excellent seals and minimal maintenance. It features impulse and polyethylene
modes for sealing bags. This model incorporates an electromagnetic hold-down
system, allowing the operator to load another package while the preceding
package is being sealed. This system provides consistent seals. In addition, a
package take-away convey or increases production speed by automatically
discharging product into the tunnel.

Seal Area: Width-16”
Length-22”
Volts: 220VAC,SINGLE PHASE
Amperage: 15

IMPORTANT
Read this manual carefully, and make it available to everyone connected
with the supervision, maintenance, or production of this machine. Additional
copes are available at your request. (Contact your distributor for this
information.) Be very careful when operating, adjusting, or servicing this
equipment. If in doubt, stop and obtain qualified help before proceeding.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
OPERATING PANEL
MOUNTING FILM
Select the proper width of center-fold film for the item being packaged,
14
Alpha-pack Packing Enterprise Page15/38
Place film roll on cradle mount film rack. See page 13 for a detailed
drawing. The center-fold is to be placed away from the operator, toward the rear
of the machine. Position film roll on rack and tighten film guide nuts to hold
film roll in position.
Place product against rear of film separator tray. Then move product into
seal area. Be sure to leave the bag loose around the product when making the
seal. This helps eliminate the seals from blowing out in the shrink tunnel. This
completes threading and/or mounting film.
PIN PERFORATOR
Located between the lower idler rollers, the pin perforator is completely
15
Alpha-pack Packing Enterprise Page16/38
FILM BRAKE
The film brake is located on the operator side of the film cradle. It serves
to create tension on the dispensing film, in order to prevent over-run and/or
slack. From time to time, the operator shoulder-evaluate its setting to ensure
proper tension.
PRODUCT TRAY
The product tray is an adjustable metal platform used to separate film and
to insert product between top and bottom layers of film.
The tray is adjustable to achieve proper depth, equal to the depth of the
package; thereby, allowing product to be placed exactly in the center fold of the
film each time.

power is not required for checking for the presence or value of voltages used.
Problem Procedure
NO ELEMENT HEAT 1. Check that the sealer is plugged in and
that power is present at the socket.
2. Check element pulse switch
adjustment. Also, press switch by hand-if
no click is heard, replace it.
3. Check Breaker BS3.
4. Check to see if KM1 is pulling in and
voltage is present at coil.
5. Check circuit continuity through
normally closed switch contact of timer

SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS
POLYETHYLENE FILMS
On the element compensator, loosen the wing nut and turn the
knurled-head screw until a 1/4” air gap exists. Tighten the wing nut. With
folded film (i.e.) two layers of film) in the sealing position, bring down the
sealing head. Set the seal timer to position 1 or 2 on the timer dial setting.
Ordinarily, it will not be possible to obtain a satisfactory seal with the
1/4”gap setting. Experimentally, in small increments, increase the element
compensator air gap setting until a setting is obtained which yields a
satisfactory seal and film cut off.
*Please note: Any time you are using polyethylene films we recommend
a 2” x 3mill Teflon cloth or tape to be placed over the seal wire for a better seal
and performance.
The sealing elements are subject to constant wear and will eventually
require replacement. To replace sealing elements proceed as described below.
REPLACING FRONT ELEMENT
1. Remove heat sink by removing the two screws on front and
backside of compensator. Note: Always check for excessive wear
and replace heat sink if necessary. (Heat sink part # 1521-08)
2. Loosen the two set screws on the side and front bars. (This holds
the opposite end of the front seal wire in place.) Loosen the two set
screws on the compensator. Remove old wire. When the wire was

TAPE REPLACEMENT
The item most subject to wear on the sealer is the Teflon tape used to
cover the silicone sponge rubber on the sealing bar. This tape should never be

Uniform pressure between the sealing elements and the sealing pads
26
Alpha-pack Packing Enterprise Page27/38
The sealing cycle should not begin until the sealing head is within 1/4”or
less of the film to be sealed. If the magnets energize before the head is within
1/4” of the film, loosen the lock-nut and turn the screw (located at the rear end
of the side seal bar )up slightly (counterclockwise when viewed from above).
The correct adjustment has been obtained when the magnets energize just as the
seal bar comes into contact with lower pads.
27
Alpha-pack Packing Enterprise Page28/38
All magnets have been factory adjusted for equal sealing pressure
throughout the length of both the front and side seal bars. However, if an
adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the sealer’s power source.
2. Loosen the lower magnet bolts on all lower magnets so that the
magnets settle to their lowest position in the mounting slots.
3. Lower the sealer’s operating handle fully and lift lower magnets to
within 1/16” from the holders. Tighten the mounting bolts securely to
retain the proper adjustment.
CONVEYOR
1. Lightly grease two compensator springs and put on each seal bar.
2. Insert compensator and compress in all the way.
3. Install compensator guide screw assemblies.
4. On the front bar, install the temperature adjustment bracket.
Important: The temperature adjusting bracket must be insulated from the
casting to work properly.
5. Install new seal wire and reset temperature adjustment screw assembly.
6. Reconnect wires to seal head assembly.
7. Install upper magnet holder on side bar.
8. Installing handle and tighten set screws on each end.
9. Double check all work done before starting the machine.
