14 Installation
Unpacking
Thoroughly inspect the equipment and packaging immediately on arrival.
Carefully remove the outer protective shipping materials. Inspect the machine for any
damage that may have occurred during transit. If goods are received short or in
damaged condition, it is important that you notify the carrier’s driver before they leave
your company and insiston a notation of the loss or damage across the bill of lading.
Otherwise no claim can be enforced against the transportation company. Please note
that a copy of this document is attached to the outside of every crate.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify your carrier at once and request,
insist, on an inspection. This is absolutely necessary. A concealed damage report must
be made within ten (10) days of delivery of shipment.
Unless you do this, the carrier will not entertain any claim for loss or damage. The agent
will make an inspection and grant a concealed damage notation. If you give the
transportation company a clear receipt for the goods that have been damaged or lost in
transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
We are willing to assist you in every reasonable manner to help you collect claims for
loss or damage. However, this willingness on Eastey’s part does not make Eastey or its
parent or related companies responsible for collections or claims or replacement of
equipment damaged or lost in transit.
Loading and Unloading Instructions
The machine is fully crated on pallets.
A forklift with long forks is required for unloading.
A loading dock must be available at the facility where the Bundling Tunnel is to
be unloaded.

Installation 15
Installation
Carefully unpack the outer carton and shipping material. Although the exterior of the
bundling tunnel is coated with a custom two-part epoxy finish that resists scratching,
avoid denting, scratching, or otherwise damaging the oven exterior.
Lift the machine up and off of the shipping pallet.
CAUTION! ET Performance Series Bundling Tunnels are heavy and may
require a forklift, floor crane, or several people to move the
machine safely. Use proper equipment when lifting the
bundling tunnel and ensure it is secure and will not shift
while being moved off the shipping pallet.
Place the bundling tunnel in the desired location with the required electrical power
source available. (See power requirements for the specific model in the Specifications
table.) Make sure the electrical wiring is adequate to provide the required voltage. If the
voltage provided is too low, the equipment will not operate correctly.
Selecting the proper location is one of the most important considerations for initial
setup. When selecting the location, take into consideration the following factors.
1. Adequate power supply nearby?
2. Where is the bundling tunnel in relation to the power source?
3. Where is the bundling tunnel in relation to the sealer and any conveyor(s)
necessary to move wrapped and bundled (finished) product? (Alignment with
packaging line.)
4. Convenience for the operator.
Note: Avoid locating the bundling tunnel in cold or drafty areas, as
heat may be unintentionally drawn from the tunnel and
reduce its efficiency.
If there is any doubt, get qualified assistance with your initial installation.

16 Installation
Location Requirements
When installing the bundling tunnel please be aware of the following considerations:
1. The surface on which it is located is flat and level.
2. Conveyor or packing table height.
3. Alignment with packaging line.
When the bundling tunnel is positioned in the operating location you will need access to
the control panel.
Provision should be made for finished exiting packages. For example, a table or bin
where packages that have been sealed will be placed until they can be picked up or
moved out.
Take into consideration the entrance conveyor height in relation adjacent machinery,
such as the sealer feeding into it, for example.
The machine should be placed on a flat, level floor so that it does not rock or move. We
recommend that the leveling feet be used to level the machine.
Set up the bundling tunnel and move it to its location. The casters allow easy movement
over smooth flat surfaces.
CAUTION! If the bundling tunnel must be lifted for moving, use proper
equipment when lifting and moving it to ensure it is secure
and will not shift.
When the bundling tunnel has been moved to its location, use the leveling legs to level
the conveyor and adjust it to its final height. A power cord to the main electrical
disconnect switch (with optional electrical plug) should be installed by a licensed
electrician.
Note: This machine requires 8 gauge – 75° main power cord.
Refer to instructions in the following section for instructions to power up or shut down
the machine.
Special Notes About the Bundling Tunnel Shutdown Sequence
When shutting down the tunnel, be sure to first turn the heater-bank switch to Off.
Once the heater-bank switch is switched off, it will take some time (this will vary
depending on heat settings) for the tunnel to cool down completely.

Installation 17
When the tunnel cools down to approximately 150°F or 66°C (unless a different cool-
down temperature has been set), the tunnel conveyor and blowers will shut off
automatically.
Bringing the tunnel down this way helps prevent damage to the conveyor and
internal components from excess prolonged exposure to heat inside the tunnel.
When the tunnel is in the resulting standby state, it shuts off the power to the
conveyor and heating elements but the lights and controller use only minimal power
in a standby state. This allows the tunnel to be readily brought up for the next
production run once the heater bank is switched on and the rest of the normal daily
sequence of operation is followed.
It is not necessary to shut the main power lever Off and then move it back to the On
position to “reset” or “reboot” the system after each production run, and this can
actually result in undue, premature wear of the main power switch.

18 Operation
Operation
Main Power Disconnect
Power — The power disconnect switch is the lever with the
orange handle on the right side of the electrical box in the
base frame below the tunnel
•Lifting the lever to the On position turns on (connects)
the system power necessary to power the Eastey
Bundling Tunnel.
•Pushing the lever down to the Off position cuts
(disconnects) all power to the system.
Note: See the Special Notes About the
Bundling Tunnel Shutdown
Sequence, later in this section.
Control Panel
The control panel contains controls for the conveyor speed, heater bank on or off, and
blower speed, all in a central location. It is located on the side of the tunnel near the top
of the unit.
1. Conveyor Speed — Speed setting dial control for controlling speed of the
conveyor.
2. Heater On-Off Switch — Toggle switch for turning the heater bank on or off.
3. Blower Speed Control — Speed setting control for blower speed.

CAUTION! When the power is turned on be aware of heat inside of the
tunnel and hot surfaces and moving belts or rollers.
Sequence of Operation
1. If the Main Power Disconnect lever has not been lifted to the On position, turn on
power to the bundling tunnel by lifting the Main Power Disconnect lever to the On
position. (It should not be necessary to turn this lever off and on in the normal day-
to-day operation of the bundling tunnel. See the Special Notes About the Bundling
Tunnel Shutdown Sequence at the end of this section.) The temperature in the
tunnel will be displayed on the thermostat control.
2. Turn the Heater Bank toggle switch below the conveyor speed control dial to the On
position. (This switch also controls all motors.)
3. Set the conveyor speed control at about midrange for initial operation. This can be
fine-tuned later. (Exact desired conveyor speed can be determined later, based on
package size and sealer speed.)
4. Set the temperature controller to the temperature recommended for your shrink-wrap
material. This temperature may need to be adjusted higher or lower until you have
achieved satisfactory shrink sealing. Once the correct temperature for a product has
been set, you should not need to adjust the temperature again as long as you are
running the same product.
5. Adjust the blower speed or chamber ventilation for proper air flow.
6. Turn on the product cooling fan. There is a three-speed selector switch on the
cooling fan. Adjust the cooling fan speed to help shrink the film. (Polyethylene film
shrinks as it cools.
CAUTION! When shutting down the tunnel, be sure to turn the Heater
Bank toggle switch to Off and wait for the tunnel to cool
down. (Refer to the procedure for setting the cool-down
temperature. Temperature will be displayed on the
thermostat control.) Once cool-down temperature is reached
the conveyor and blower motors will shut down and stop. It
is not necessary to shut off Main Power for normal day-to-
day operation. See the following Special Notes About the
Bundling Tunnel Shutdown Sequence.
