What to do if the drive belts do not turn on my BestPack MSD 22?
- J
  Jimmy RamosAug 12, 2025
  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 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.

  To center the tape on a box using your BestPack Food Saver, start by repositioning the tape drum if it is not centered. Then, ensure that the top compression rollers are aligned with the tape head. Finally, check the box specifications to confirm that the box flaps are of equal length and adjust accordingly.

Why are the drive belts not conveying boxes on my BestPack MSD 22?
- D
  Denise McguireAug 23, 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.

  Paul PerryAug 31, 2025
  If you hear a squeaking noise as boxes pass through your BestPack Food Saver, it may be due to dry compression rollers, in which case you should lubricate them. Alternatively, the driving pulleys may need lubrication or replacement if defective; lubricate the plastic and aluminum pulleys.
