6) Before you can begin sealing your product, it is important to follow the steps below:

a. Adjust the head orientation, depending on sealing procedure (refer to section 4.2).

a. Adjust the head height to your preferred bag length (refer to section 4.3).

b. Select the appropriate recipe for the product bag being sealed (refer to section 4.4).

7) Once these parameters are setup your MPS6100 is ready to use. Pressing the “START”

icon on the home screen will bring up the second startup page shown in Figure 8. This

gives the user options to 1) use the same recipe that was used when the sealer was last

powered off, 2) load a different recipe, or 3) create a new recipe. Note that the last option

is only available to users logged in as “Technician”. The grayed-out text in the middle of

the screen is the current recipe loaded on the sealer. To load a different recipe see section

4.4. Once the speed and heating zones have reached their set values, the sealer is ready

for operation.

8) To put your MPS6100 in cool down mode, simply press the “Cool Down” icon on the

left margin. The status bar will say “sealer is cooling down” and the sealer motor and fans

will continue to run with the heaters turned off until the sealing bars reach the set cool

down temperature (see maintenance manual). To disable cool down mode press the

“Start” icon. The heaters will re-energize and bring the heating zones back to operating

temperature.

FIGURE - 8



4.2 ADJUSTING THE HEAD ORIENTATION

The sealing head for the MPS6100 may be set either at 0 or 90° to the horizontal. To move

the orientation of the sealing head from vertical to horizontal position, the sealing head must

first be removed.

1) Loosen and remove the locking bolts to free the sealing head from the frame.

2) Lift the sealing section up and away from the frame and set aside.

3) Loosen and remove control box mounting bracket bolts. Refer to Figure 5.

4) Turn control box mounting brackets upside down, replace bolts and tighten down

securely. Refer to Figure 5.

5) On the sealing section remove the lower support pin (Refer to Figure 5) on the side of

control box and move to the upper corner closer to the front of the box and tighten down

securely. Repeat for opposite side of control box.

6) Next, the sealing section (control box and rails) must be reattached to the stand. Place

what are now the upper two support pins on either side of the control box into the upper

slots on the stand. Next, gently swing the sealing section down into place. The sealing

section will be attached as in Figure 9 right picture.

7) Install the locking bolts to ensure the sealing section is held securely in place.

CAUTION: The sealing section assembly weighs in total over 18 kilograms, please use a

minimum of two people to remove sealing section to or from the frame



4.3 ADJUSTING THE HEAD HEIGHT

The sealing head height is easily adjusted via the crank mechanism on the stand. To

increase the head height, rotate the wheel on top of the stand. See Figure 3 for location of the

hand wheel on the stand.

4.4 LOADING AND SAVING RECIPES

Program recipes are sealer parameter configurations customized for certain product

bags. Using recipes allows quick and easy machine setup without the hassle of adjusting sealing

temperature, speed, or pressure every startup.

Pressing “LOAD” on the second startup screen or the “Recipe” icon on the right

margin loads the recipe selection screen shown in Figure 9 below. The “Active Recipe” text

shows the current recipe loaded in the sealer. A different recipe can be loaded by selecting an

alternative from the list shown and pressing “Load”. Use the scroll bar and scroll arrows to

navigate the list if needed.

FIGURE - 9



Pressing “Save” will save any modifications done to the seal parameters to the active

recipe. Modifications can only be done while logged in as “Technician”. See maintenance

manual for procedure. Only authorized personnel should adjust the seal parameters.

4.5 ADJUSTING SEALING AND COOLING BAR PRESSURE

To adjust the sealing and cooling bar pressure the in-feed rail must be lowered. Due

to the fact that this exposes the operator to moving components it is recommended that a

qualified service technician perform this procedure. Refer to the maintenance manual for

instructions.

CAUTION: Exposure to moving parts and hot surfaces if the proper precautions are not taken.

Only qualified service technicians should attempt this procedure. Do not attempt if loose

clothing, jewellery and/or hair are present, they may become entangled.

FIGURE - 9



4.6 PROPER BAG FEEDING

Feed the leading edge of the bag into the machine and lightly hold onto the trailing

edge of the bag to avoid any bunching or creasing of the material. The bottom of the rails can

be used as a guide for the closest position of the product inside the bag to the sealing section.

The bridge has a slot showing the maximum height of the top of the bag capable of being fed

through the machine. See Figure 10 for details.

CAUTION: There is a pinch hazard present during this operation. Do not let hands or fingers

contact rotating components. Do not attempt if loose clothing, jewellery and/or hair are

present, they may become entangled.

FIGURE -10

Slot in Bridge

Bottom of Rails



4.7 BAG SUPPORT CAPABILITY

Product conveying belts hold the bag in position during the sealing process. The

amount of weight capable of being supported by the conveying belts is directly proportional

to the width and the thickness of the bag containing the product. The machine in-feed section

is designed to support the bag as it runs through the sealer. Typically a 250mm wide L.D.P.E

bag will support 1kg of product. More weight can be supported with wider bags and less

weight can be supported as bag width narrows. If you see slippage of the bag a conveyor is

recommended for additional support. Evidence of slippage will result in a stretched or torn

seal.

5.0 RELEVANT MISUSE The use of this machine for any other operation other than bag sealing is strictly

prohibited. Failure to comply with these terms will result in damage to the machine, possible

injury to the operator and will void the warranty of the machine. Below are some examples of

relevant misuse, please refrain from these actions or any other action which can harm the

operator or damage the machine.

5.1 MISPLACED LIQUIDS

The MPS6100 is not waterproof and should not have liquids of any kind placed on the

equipment at any time.

5.2 STANDING ON THE MACHINE

The MPS6100 series is a physically stable design however by no means should one

attempt to stand or rest on any part of the machine. Do not attempt to place any other items

on the machine which can cause the machine to become unstable.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to stand on or place any other items on any part of the machine.

The equipment may become unstable and pose a risk of tipping on to the operator causing

bodily harm.



5.3 SEALING OVER FILLED BAGS

The MPS6100 is not designed to have over filled bags or obstruct objects fed through

the conveying or sealing sections of the machine. The product in the bag being sealed must

remain below the in-feed rail at all times. Only have the bag itself should be fed through, failure

to comply will result in damage to the machine and a void warranty.

6.0 RECYCLING OF MACHINE The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is a European law,

which came into effect in the UK on July 1st 2007. It's designed to reduce the amount of

WEEE going into landfills. This means that all manufacturers will be responsible for the

disposal of old electrical goods in an environment friendly way.

7.0 MAINTENANCE Please refer all maintenance of this machine to a qualified service technician, review the

maintenance manual for procedures and safety information while performing maintenance.

The directives in this document are in accordance with the design and construction of

the unit at the time it was released by the Plexpack production facility.



1.0 MACHINE SETUP AND CONFIGURATION 1.1 LOGGING IN AS TECHNICIAN All settings regarding sealing parameters and configuration require the user to log in as

“Technician” to avoid any possible deletion or modification of important data. To log in as

“Technician”, click on the “Current user” icon. The login screen will pop-up on the HMI as shown

in Figure 1. Click on the text box to the right of “Password” and type the following password: 1.

Note, the sealer will automatically log off the technician user after 5 minutes. The user will

have to re-log on to continue manipulating setups and configurations.

1.2 SETUP PARAMETERS Pressing “Setup Par” on the right margin opens the parameter setup screen shown in Figure

2. The speed and temperature set values are the values the operating set points the user wants the

sealer to run at. The actual values are the current values registered by the sealer. Once the actual

values are the same as the set values (or within a certain range, as specified by the user. See

configurations in section 1.3 for procedure), the sealer is ready to operate.

Also shown in parameters is the current number of products sealed. This value is only

available if the product sensor option is purchased.

An important note is whenever the sealer HMI is inactive for 10 minutes, the setup

parameters screen is shown on the HMI without the left and right margins, for user reference. Once

the HMI is touched the margins will re-appear for user operation.

FIGURE - 1



1.3 CONFIGURATIONS Pressing the “Config” icon on the right margin opens the configurations screen shown in

Figure 3. From this screen the user can adjust machine settings, sealing parameters, parameter units,

and machine option settings. If an embosser or VGF has been purchased with the machine see their

respective manuals for operation and setup procedure.

If the “Machine Settings” icon is pressed, Figure 4 will be shown. From this screen the user

can change the language, adjust the HMI brightness and contrast, view the network settings, and

modify the time and date shown on the HMI.

FIGURE - 2

FIGURE - 3



If the “Temperature Parameters” icon is pressed, Figure 5 will be shown. As shown in

parameter setup, the set value is the desired operating value while the actual value is the current

temperature of the heating zone. The deviation value is the allowable tolerance on the actual value

to the set value before the sealer deviation alarm activates. For example, if the actual value of

heating zone 1 is 10 degrees below the set value and the deviation value is 5 degrees, the deviation

alarm will be activated. The cool down value is the maximum temperature the heating zone sealing

bars must be at during cool down to turn the sealer off. Deviation and cool down value are

adjustable while “Settings” is only allowed to be adjusted by the OEM.

If the “Units” icon is pressed, Figure 6 will be shown. This screen allows the user to change

the parameter units of temperature, pressure, speed and length.

status of the SDM, system, software and hardware of the PLC and its components. Most of this

information is for OEM technicians to observe certain functionality of the PLC and its components

during troubleshooting, updating, initial setup, etc. The main diagnostic tool to observe is the

system dump. This allows the service technician to dump all of the recent system, software,

hardware and alarm history on a USB to send to the OEM for further analysis. This should be done

if there are issues with the machine that cannot be easily fixed or when Plexpack technical support

has requested it.

FIGURE - 9



3.0 GENERAL PROCEDURES

3.1 DE-ENERGIZING AND LOCKOUT PROCEDURE CAUTION: Risk of electrical shock if the machine has not been properly de-energized and

locked out prior to performing maintenance procedures.

1) First the machine must be powered off. It is recommended to use the cool down cycle

to avoid any possible heat damage to components. The machine can also be shut down

immediately by pressing the “Power Off” icon.

2) Proceed to unplug the main power cord from the wall outlet or the back of the control

box. To lockout the machine the main power cord must be COMPLETELY

REMOVED and in the possession of the service technician at all times.

3.2 HEATING BAR COOLING TIME The heating bars of the MPS6100 operate between 120°C and 200°C (250-400°F)

which can cause serious burns if touched by the service technician. Table 2 below shows

average cooling times from the maximum temperature of 200°C over a time lapse of ten

minutes. Using the cool down cycle will ensure the heating bars are below the set cool down

temperature (usually around 60°C). At this point the machine will automatically shut down

and be ready for maintenance. When servicing the machine be aware of the possible dangers

posed by the temperature of the sealing bars.

CAUTION: Hot surfaces may be exposed. To prevent personal injury do not attempt to

touch the heating bars or surrounding areas while hot.

3.5 RAISING THE IN-FEED RAILS If the in-feed rails have been lowered to perform maintenance it will be necessary to

raise them once finished. Simply reverse the procedure shown in section 3.4 to raise the rails

back into position. If the drive pulleys or gears have rotated while the in-feed rails have been

lowered it will be necessary to rotate the toothed rail pulley using its drive pins to match the

floating coupling located directly underneath the rubberized drive pulley. If this fails, raise

the rails while the machine is running at a very low speed. This procedure presents exposure

to moving components and can cause injury if not careful.

CAUTION: Rotating and moving components are exposed. Use extreme caution to avoid

entanglement causing personal injury. Do not attempt if loose clothing, jewellery and/or hair

are present, they may become entangled.

1) If the rails fail to snap into place, the alignment of the drive pulleys has shifted out of

position.

2) To realign the pulleys you must reconnect the power to the machine and startup the

sealer.

3) Change the heat zone temperatures close to room temperature.

4) Adjust the speed to a very low value.

5) As the machine runs, very carefully ease the in-feed rails back into position, some

force may be needed to snap the rail into place.

6) At this point, the rails should have snapped into place. Turn off machine and

continue.

7) While holding the rails in place, tighten the four thumb screws shown in Figure 11.



3.6 ADJUSTING THE SEALING AND COOLING BAR PRESSURE To adjust the sealing and cooling bar pressure, please follow this procedure.

1) The machine must first be locked out, follow procedure 3.1

2) There is exposure to hot surfaces if the machine is not cooled down properly, please

follow procedure 3.2.

3) The rail must be lowered, follow section 3.4.

4) Once the rail is lowered, tighten or loosen the spring tension knobs to increase or

decrease the pressure of the bars. Refer to figure 12.

4.0 MAINTENANCE When performing maintenance procedures it is a good rule of thumb to inspect the

sealing bars for built up molten plastic which can eventually become a fire hazard. To

maintain consistent sealing inspect the bars for scratches or dents and if they are present

replace the sealing bars.

4.1 REPLACING TEFLON BANDS Plexpack Teflon bands are available on a 24-hour turn-around basis. Contact your

dealer or the Plexpack service group at +1-416-291-8085

1) It is necessary to follow the lockout procedure 3.1, and be aware of section 3.2 which

states the cooling times of the sealing bars before continuing.

CAUTION: The sealing bars are extremely hot when machine is running—be sure to

allow bars to cool to avoid personal injury.

2) Next, you will need to lower the rails. Refer to section 3.4 for procedure.

3) After the rails have been lowered you must remove the tension on the Teflon bands by

turning both tension knobs shown in Figure 13 counterclockwise.

4) Once loosened, turn the quick-release handle towards the ground until it locks in place.

This will push the heating and cooling bars apart, allowing for easy removal of the

Teflon bands. See Figure 14 for handle location.

5) Pull the stainless steel pressure plate towards you, allowing the Teflon band to be

removed from the seal section.



6) The cooling and sealing bar pressure will also need to be released follow section 3.7 of

this manual and Figure 12 for details.

7) Remove the old bands and clear any band fragments that may be present. This is also an

ideal time to clean the seal bars, refer to section 3.1 for information.

8) Place the new bands between the heating and cooling bars. This is accomplished by

gently pulling up on the pressure plates shown in Figure 5, then sliding the Teflon band

between the front and the rear sealing/cooling bars.

9) Slide the bands up the pulleys on both ends and try to centre them on the pulleys and on

the sealing/cooling bars.

10) Raise the rails by following the procedure in section 3.5.

11) Tension the bands by turning the tension knobs clockwise. Do not over-tension.

Adjustment of the bands is critical—if the bands are too tight, they may break.

4.2 REMOVING PRODUCT CONVEYING BELTS 1) It is necessary to follow the lockout procedure 3.1, and be aware of section 3.2 which

states the cooling times of the sealing bars before continuing.

2) If your sealer is equipped with a trimmer, embosser, or printer, you must remove these

units first. Please refer to the appropriate Addendum to this manual for instructions on

how to remove these units properly.

3) The entire in-feed rail must be removed from the head section in order to replace the

product conveying belts. It is recommended that two people aid in this procedure. As

one person supports the rail section, have the other person unscrew and remove the

thumb screws that allow the rails to swing down.

Quick-Release Handle



4) Next, as one person is supporting the rails in the original upright sealing position, the

other person needs to remove the two screws that are located in the rails’ hinges found

under the control box.

5) Completely remove the rails from the machine.

6) Remove the two bridges that join the rails together shown in Figure 15, by removing the

Phillips screws located on the opposite side. There are four screws for each bridge that

need to be removed.

7) With a Phillips screwdriver, remove all the protective covers.

8) Loosen, but do not remove, the tension pulley located in the bag entry guides at the end

of the in-feed rail as shown in Figure 15 (i.e. the pulley that rides in the slot) by loosening

its bolts located on the top face.

9) Remove the guide covers shown in Figure 15. A bag entry guide is removed in the

Figure to show the guide cover location. Do not remove the bag entry guides.

10) The belt can now be removed by unwinding it from the drive pulley section, and un-

wrapping it from both tension pulleys.



4.3 INSTALLING PRODUCT CONVEYING BELTS 1) At this point it is assumed that you have already completed the procedure in section 4.2.

2) Feed the conveying belts around the pulleys on both ends and thread it through the

driving pulleys.

3) Tighten the in-feed pulleys.

4) Attach the two bridges that join the rails together, by tightening the Phillips screws

located on the bottom of the rails.

5) Next, as one person is supporting the rails in the original upright sealing position, the

other person needs to insert & tighten the two screws that are located in the rails’ hinges

found under the control box.

6) Raise the in-feed rails as per section 3.5. Leave the machine on for the following step.

Bag Entry Guide



7) Apply food grade grease or an equivalent to the specifications shown in section 5.4 to

the notched side of the belt, using a brush, directly before entering the pressure bars

while the machine is running at a very low speed. About a pea size amount should be

sufficient. This will prevent the belts from flaking and will help extend the life of the

belt. This procedure presents exposure to moving components and can cause injury if

not careful.

CAUTION: Rotating and moving components are exposed. Use extreme caution to avoid

entanglement causing personal injury. Do not attempt if loose clothing, jewellery and/or hair

are present, they may become entangled.

8) The machine can now be turned off.

9) Once the in-feed rail has been securely re-attached it is now safe to reinstall the optional

printer, embosser and/or trimmer if equipped.

5.0 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Routine cleaning, lubrication and care will improve the running and extend the

longevity of your machine. Frequency of cleaning is largely dependent upon your production

environment; highly corrosive environments require more frequent cleaning than non-

corrosive environments. The machine should be cleaned once every two weeks.

In the event that the machine must be cleaned, please ensure that the main power

switch has been turned to the off position and the main power cord has been disconnected

and locked out. Failure to comply may result in damage to the machine and /or personal

injury.

CAUTION: Cleaning the machine while it is energized and/or running can result in

entanglement and electric shock causing bodily harm. Do not attempt if loose clothing,

jewellery and/or hair are present, they may become entangled.



5.1 SURFACE CLEANING If liquid has been spilled on the surface of the machine but has not entered the

internal areas of the machine proceed to wipe the area dry with a cloth or paper towel.

Stubborn materials may be scrubbed off the surface of the machine with a damp cloth and a

light cleaning solution if needed. Do not allow moisture from the cloth or the cleaning

solution itself to enter the internal area of the machine as this can damage the electrical and

mechanical components contained within. Gently spraying compressed air is another means

of eliminating dirt from the machine’s interior.

CAUTION: All spills located on the floor directly in the operators foot print must also be

immediately cleaned to prevent people from slipping and falling while operating the

machine.

5.2 INTERNAL CLEANING Never use corrosive solvents when cleaning the MPS. Water and light liquid detergents,

along with a clean cloth are all that is needed to clean the interior of the machine.

CAUTION: Never subject this machine to a “wash-down” procedure or expose the internals

of the machine to liquids of any kind. This will damage the electrical and mechanical

components of the machine.



5.3 MICRO BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS In the event that the environment around the machine or the product being sealed in

the bags is a biohazard and has leaked, spilled or exploded on the machine do not attempt to

clean. Please refer to plant safety protocol for handling such materials and section 5.1 and

5.2 for cleaning the surface and internal areas of the machine once the materials have been

removed.

5.4 GREASING IN-FEED BELTS AND GEAR BOX The MPS7000 comes from the factory containing specific lubricants on two separate parts of

the machine the gear box and the product conveying belts contained within the in-feed rail

assembly. Please use lubricants which meet or exceed the specifications of the factory

installed lubricants shown in table 3 below.

CAUTION: Only qualified service personnel should attempt replacing the lubricants on this

machine, please refer to the maintenance manual for procedures.



LOCATION TYPE/SPECIFICATION

GEAR BOX Multipurpose Lithium Soap Based grease

NLGI Grade 2 Lubricating grease

CONVEYING BELTS

Food Grade Non-Toxic Clear Grease

Broad operating temperature, with a high

dropping point

Lubrication of the product conveying belts should be done once a week or every 40

hours to extend the life of the belt. If they are not lubricated the belts will normally last no

longer than 3 months.
