Symptom Cause Correction
The machine stops, but the
red light does not come on.
NOTE: The last two bags
may be stapled together, or
caught in the Bag Closer.
The Model 125 Bag
Closer Limit Switch
did not release fast
enough.
Determine what is preventing the bags from passing
freely through the Bag Closer.
Are the filled bags rubbing the bottom Feed Plates of
the Bag Closer?
Is the take-away conveyor fast enough to prevent the
bags from contacting each other as they fall out of the
Bag Closer?
The machine stops, pushing
the Start Button indexes
one filled bag which passes
through the Bag Closer
without getting a staple.
The Model 125 Bag
Closer Limit Switch is
stuck in the actuated
position.
Make sure that the Limit Switch arm on the Model
125 moves freely.
The machine stops and the
film has not indexed far
enough. The Timing Mark
did not pass the Photo Eye
and no vertical heat seal
was formed.
The film advanced too
slowly because of
excess friction between
the Belt and the Fill
Opening.
Locate the cause of the friction.
Is the Water Injector functioning properly?
Is the Perforator cutting too deeply, allowing the
perforation to tear as it passes around the Fill
Opening, allowing direct contact between the Belts
and the Fill Opening?
The machine stops and the
film is broken, the film
breaks when the Dancer
Roller is pulled in against
the machine frame.
The film is not
unwinding from the roll
fast enough.
Locate the reason that the Dancer is not supplying the
film freely.
Make sure the Roll Holder spins easily when the
Brake Cam Limit Switch is depressed.
The Core Holder may be pressed too tightly into the
film core.
The Dancer Spring tension may need to be increased
by moving the Spring Bracket.
The machine stops and the
film has indexed too far
without forming the side
seal.
The Timing Mark
passes the Photo Eye
but did not see it.
Locate the reason that the Photo Eye did not see the
Timing Mark.
Does the Bag Film have a Timing Mark printed on it?
Is the Bag Film threaded between the Photo Eye and
the Reflector?
Is the Timing Mark passing above or below the Photo
Eye beam rather than through it?
Is the Photo Eye sensitivity set correctly for the
Timing Mark being used?
Side Seal not being formed
properly.
Film is sticking to the
Side Seal Bar or Teflon
Cloth.
Scrape off the Side Seal Bar.
Coat the Teflon Cloth with Dow Corning Paste #7.
Rotate the Teflon Cloth ¼ turn.
A rapid build-up of plastic on the Teflon Cloth
indicates that the Side Seal Bar may be too hot.
