Preventive Maintenance
Suggestions
The Insta heat seal machines are relatively
maintenance free. For long, trouble-free life,
the following preventive maintenance should be
followed:
1. Do not heat seal items such as buttons,
pins, snaps, or zippers that tend to cut the
silicone rubber pad or scratch the Teflon
heat platen.
2. Periodically clean the Teflon-coated heat
platen with a non-abrasive piece of cloth.
Stubborn stains may be cleaned, when
platen is cool, with mineral spirits.
3. When the heat platen is hot and not in use,
keep in open position (away from the
silicone rubber pad).
4. To prevent soiling of substrate, periodic
wiping of the entire exterior machine,
including platens, with a clean rag is
recommended. If necessary, use mineral
spirits for cleaning a cold machine. Since
mineral spirits are flammable, use
precautions and keep away from sparks,
flame, or hot heat platen.
5. The Model 228 machine requires periodic
lubrication with a high-temperature, non-
melting grease (MPPL023).
A. Lubricate the post, handle and cam
assembly depending upon usage. (Once
every month if used continuously.)
B. There are four (4) points of lubrication:
a) Post
b) Lower Cam
c) Guide Post
d) Upper Pin Area
In addition, occasionally apply a few drops of
heavy machine oil to the upper portion of the
cam assembly. To lubricate the pressure
adjustment, raise cover an inch or two and
apply heavy machine oil to slide mechanism.
