Taping Module Maintenance
Heat Sealer
Heat sealer maintenance consists mainly of cleaning built-up debris and adhesive residues from
the heat shoes. It should be cleaned after every 120 hours of operation or as needed.
To clean the heat shoes, follow the steps below.
1. Loosen the track width lock knobs and slide the loading tracks all the way out.
2. If the sealer assembly is still hot, allow it to cool completely before continuing.
Note: Do not attempt to use alcohol when the sealer
is hot.
3. Using a 3/32” hex wrench, remove the (3) Button
Head Cap Screws and the red Thumb Screw from
the two sheet metal covers.
4. Clean the residues from the heat shoes by
using a plastic or brass brush soaked in alco-
hol to remove any residue that has built up on
the lip of the heat shoe.
Note: Do not use a steel bristled brush. It could
damage the heat shoes.
