8. Maintenance
8.1 Daily maintenance
For good heat sealing results it is important to keep the press surfaces clean. Therefore,
clean the teon coating of the upper plate with a clean, dry cloth.
Also clean the rubber pads daily with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents or other chemical
substances to remove impurities.
Do not let buttons, zippers, etc. come between the plates. It will keep the silicone rubber
undamaged for a long time.
8.2 Periodical maintenance
The mechanism needs no maintenance.
First switch o the machine, let it cool down and pull the plug out of the socket.
Replace the rubber pads and the teon regularly.
Clean the outside of the machine regularly with a clean, moist cloth.
In order to replace the teon, the press machine must be warm (± 80°C). Remove the
teon and carefully remove all glue residues from the metal surface with a putty knife.
Then use a copper brush to clean the surface.
Finally, use a dry cloth to clean the element. The surface must be absolutely clean and
smooth, so that the new teon sticks well, without air bubbles.
Lubrication:
Normally the machine does not require lubrication. However when the Sealing Arm Handle
is slow to rise, lubricating the pivots and rotating parts will help the Sealing Arm Handle.
