3.2 DESCRIPTION OF DANGER ZONES

The machine is equipped with suitable guards and devices which guarantee safety. However,
inappropriate behaviour or incorrect work procedures by the operator could expose him/her
to further risks described below.
20
Fig. 3.2.1
ZONE A : Conveyor belt infeed

Risks :
- crushing and dragging of the upper limbs, entanglement with subsequent dragging due to
contact with moving mechanical parts of the conveyor belt.
Prescribed standards of conduct:
During machine operation, never act on the transiting products, or touch the conveyor belt, in
order to avoid any contact with moving mechanical parts.
ZONE B : Thermal chamber (oven)

Risks :
- risk of scalding and burning due to contact with hot surfaces.
- risk that the products might catch fire if they stay inside the thermal chamber too long due, for
example, to temporary electrical power outages.

- Do not use the machine without the designated infeed and outfeed blinds, or in case of failure
/ breakdown of the shrinking fans.
- Do not touch the inside the thermal chamber or the surrounding areas during or immediately
after packaging, to avoid the danger of burning..
- If there are problems, avoid leaving the products inside the thermal chamber for too long. Use
a suitably long rod to push the products out of the thermal chamber, thus avoiding the risk of
the product catching fire and, at the same time, allow you to perform the operation safely.
ZONA C : Uscita del nastro trasportatore

Risks :
- crushing and dragging of the upper limbs, entanglement with subsequent dragging due to
contact with moving mechanical parts of the conveyor belt.
- scalding from contact with hot elements, due to proximity with thermal chamber.
During machine operation, never act on the transiting products, or touch the conveyor belt, in
order to avoid any contact with moving mechanical parts.
ZONA D : Electrical panel

Risks :
- electrocution when operating inside the electrical panel with the machine electrically

White page
CHAPTER 4 - INFORMATION OF THE MACHINE
It is possible to shrink the film by using the Tunnel. This series can be connected to the
conveyor belt at the outfeed of the sealing machines.
In order to achieve excellent packaging, the film is sealed at half the height of the product.
Raising (or lowering) the conveyor belts requires making adjustments to the tunnel blinds, as
it is essential to avoid losing heat during the shrinkage operation.
4.1 IDENTIFICATION DATA AND TECHNICAL DATA OF THE

MACHINE
Each machine is provided with a plate where it is easy to recover data which must be
communicated to the manufacturer in case of problems or when requesting spare parts etc.
(ref. 1-2-3-4). This plate also carries electrical technical data for installation of the machine (ref.
a-b-c-d).
Fig. 4.1.1
1 - Model
2 - Serial number
3 - Machine code
4 - Year of manufacture
a - Nominal voltage
b - Nominal frequency
c - Nominal power
d - Nominal current
ATTENTION! Before performing connections to the electrical mains, make sure that the power
supply voltage is compatible with that shown on the plate.
4.2 SHRINKING
Film shrinkage is achieved by the forced circulation of hot air around the package. The air is
heated by a heat-controlled resistor unit. If the sealing breaks during the shrinking it is possible
to increase the speed of the belt or to lower the temperature of the resistors by acting on the
tunnel's control panel.
4.3 REGULATION OF BAFFLES

The baffles A: reduce hot air flow below the product.
The baffles B: direct the hot air flow coming from the baffle A.
(Fig. 1) - The baffle A is closed and the air flow is conveyed below the product to be packed.
If bubbles should form or the film tear at the bottom of the product in this situation, the air flow
coming from this direction must be reduced by opening the baffles A as shown in Fig. 2 and
Fig. 3.
25
Chapter 4 - Information of the machine
Fig. 1
(Fig. 2) - The baffle A is open and the position of the baffle B allows hot air to disperse towards
the top of the thermal chamber.
(Fig. 3) - The baffle A is open and the position of the baffle B allows hot air to be conveyed
even at the side of the product thus improving heatshrinking along those sides.
26
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
Fig. 4 is carried on the machine near the baffles schematising their functioning.
Fig. 4
4.4 ENABLING SWIVEL ROLL MODE

The rolls that carry the product normally turn in order to achieve uniform shrinkage and
therefore improved packaging. At times, however, some types of film may over-adhere to the
rolls and tear when the rolls turn. In order to always choose the best solution for each type of
film, the machine is set up to process the product in "swivel roll" mode and "fixed roll" mode.
In order to make this adjustment, it is necessary to act on lever A, as shown in the figure:
- Holding lever A in a horizontal position, the rolls stay in a fixed position.
- By turning the lever downwards, the rolls turn.
Fig. 4.4.1
4.5 MACHINE OPERATION WITH OVEN IN HEAT SHRINKING

MODE
Once sealing is finished on the packaging machine, the machine belt carries the product along
the tunnel belt into the thermal chamber for the shrinking process and then out of it on the
designated roller conveyor.
The variables for the shrinking process (internal temperature and conveyor belt speed) are
managed from the tunnel operator panel.
Fig. 4.5.1
27
Chapter 4 - Information of the machine
In case of immediate danger, stop the machine by pressing the EMERGENCY button and then
open the blinds (use gloves to avoid burns) to make the machine cool down as quickly as
possible. Also start the cooling process, if necessary. It is, nevertheless, necessary to restore
normal tunnel operation as soon as possible.
4.6 DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF THE HEAT-SHRINKING FANS

In case of maintenance of the fans motor, check the correct connection of the power supply
cable: the direction of rotation of the fan must be the same as the one indicated on the adhesive
label. (see Fig. 4.6.1)

CHAPTER 6 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

6.1 GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
All the operations indicated in this

chapter must be carried out by
qualified personnel and with
adequate personal protective
equipment for the operations being
performed.
Cleaning and maintenance operations must be entrusted to expert personnel who know the
machine (mechanical maintenance technician and electrical maintenance technician, each
according to his own field of skills). In order to avoid the risk of interference by other operators
in the work zone, it is recommended to carefully mark maintenance in progress.
It is recommended to:
Use only original spare parts
Before carrying out any maintenance or lubrication operation, perform the "placing in
maintenance status procedure" as described in paragraph 6.2.
It is prohibited to carry out maintenance, lubrication or repairs when the machine is running
or powered electrically.
After each intervention, put back any guards which were removed, placing the machine in
its initial status.
It is forbidden to use matches, torches or open flames for lighting.
Unauthorised personnel must remain at an appropriate distance from the machine.
Always keep the area where maintenance is performed clean and dry. Always eliminate oil
stains.
Before any type of intervention on electrical components, make sure the power supply line
has been disconnected.
After all interventions on the electrical panel, put the guard back, securing it properly with
screws before restoring power and starting machine.
6.2 PLACE IN MAINTENANCE STATUS PROCEDURE

Before starting any required maintenance operation, if not requested otherwise, turn the
machine off and disconnect the plug from the mains. During all control operations, it is
compulsory to lock the master switch, as illustrated in the figure.
Before starting maintenance it is also recommended to place a sign on the control panel or on
the electrical power master switch with the following indication: ATTENTION! DO NOT TOUCH

Notes on the general cleaning procedure for the shrinking tunnel

To optimise performance it is good practice to always keep the shrinking tunnel clean.
Accordingly, it is possible to prevent malfunctions and identify and repair any faults while
operating in safe conditions. Be careful during cleaning operations not to act on the set-up of
the safety systems.
ATTENTION! Wait for the shrinking tunnel to cool before removing any debris that may have
deposited on the hot parts.
The table below describes the controls, the checks and maintenance procedures required for
each device in the tunnel in order to keep up optimal performance over time.

6.5 LUBRICATION OF MECHANICAL PARTS
37
Chapter 6 - Cleaning and maintenance
6.5 LUBRICATION OF MECHANICAL PARTS

This paragraph provides information concerning lubricants which can be used to keep the
machine perfectly efficient. Should it be difficult to find these lubricants, you may use other
good quality lubricants with the same characteristics as those recommended. Do not mix
different types of lubricants.
List of mechanical parts which require lubrication:

1 - Oven conveyor belt chain
The specific lubricant recommended for the chains of the oven conveyor belt is Mobil
Pyrolube 830, a synthetic ester-based lubricant for parts operating at high temperatures (up
to 230C). This oil can be applied with a brush, by drops or spraying (even with timers).
The fully synthetic base of Mobil Pyrolube 830 and the consequent low volatility
characteristics limit evaporation of the product at high temperatures and prevent the formation
of sludge and carbon residue. Using this oil instead of other mineral and synthetic oils has the
following advantages:
38
Almost no carbon deposits
No unpleasant odours
Low consumption due to lubricating capacity of the product allowing you to limit the number
of applications.
Longer duration of lubricated parts.
Noise reduction
4 - Reduction gears
They require no oil change since they are the "long life" type.
6.6 REPLACING FLEXTRON MODULES

When replacing a FLEXTRON module, we recommend strictly following the indications
described below:
Switch the machine off, disconnect power, interlock the general isolator and wait at least 5
minutes before operating.
Disassemble the casing of the electrical panel to access the modules of the FLEXTRON
boards.
Press on the sides as shown in the figure to remove the connector 1.
Take the connectors 2 off being careful to act on the body of the connector and not on the
cable.
Remove the connectors 3 by loosening the screws 4.
Act on the screws 5 to remove the FLEXTRON modules to be replaced.
After having replaced the damaged module, put all the connectors back on and, before
restoring the connection to the power supply, make sure that the protective casing of the
electrical panel has been put back in place.
