  If the drive belts on your BestPack Food Saver aren't turning, there could be several reasons. First, check the power and electrical plug to ensure there isn't an electrical disconnect. Also, examine the fuse, capacitor, and setting of the thermal relay to make sure the motor is running. Another potential cause is loose drive belt tension, which can be resolved by adjusting the belt tension screw. Finally, worn bearings, gears, or the driving shaft could be the issue, in which case you should replace the ball bearing, gears, or driving shaft.

Why isn't the blade cutting the tape properly on my BestPack MSD 22-3 Food Saver, or why is the tape end jagged?

  If the blade on your BestPack Food Saver isn't cutting the tape properly, or the tape end is jagged or shredded, several factors could be responsible. The blade might be dull or have broken teeth, requiring a replacement. Insufficient tape tension could also be the cause; try increasing it by adjusting the mandrel wheel. Adhesive buildup on the blade can also hinder performance, so clean and adjust the blade. Ensure the blade is bottomed out against the mounting bolts and that it's clean, lubricating the oiler pad on the blade guard. Finally, check that the blade is mounted correctly, with the beveled edge away from the entrance end of the head, and replace the blade spring guard if it's defective.

Why are the drive belts not conveying boxes on my BestPack MSD 22-3?
- M
  Melissa BaileyAug 25, 2025
  If the drive belts on your BestPack Food Saver aren't conveying boxes, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the machine specifications to ensure that the boxes aren't narrower than recommended, as this can cause slippage and premature belt wear. Also, the drive belts may be worn and need replacement. In addition, readjust the compression rollers if the top flap compression rollers are too tight. Finally, if the top tape head does not apply enough pressure, adjust the box height adjustment with the crank.

  If the tape is leaving a fold when using your BestPack Food Saver, several issues could be the cause. First, adjust the mandrel knurled wheel if there is excess tension on the tape mandrel assembly. Next, clean adhesive deposits from the surface, ends, and shafts of the rollers in the tape path, then lubricate the roller shafts, removing all lubricants from roller surfaces. You should also re-thread the tape. Finally, refer to tape cutting problems; surface, ends, shafts, and the rollers.
