Installation Of HSD 2000-ET II RC In Other Machinery
This tape head can be used to upgrade case sealers provided by other manufacturers. It can
be mounted in the upper or lower positions. It can also be mounted horizontally. Please contact
the factory for the proper mounting adapters, any possible mirror image footprint requirements
and any limitations when upgrading competitive machinery.
1) The case must be positively propelled through the case sealer taking into account any void
fills, overfills, stability factors or weight factors.
2) Verify the case sizes which will be processed through the case sealer. Installing Interpack
HSD 2000-ET II RC tape heads to process very short cases may cause the tape heads to
collide with each other.
3) If a flight bar or lug drive system propels the case, be sure that these devices provide proper
clearance and do not contact any portion of the tape head.
4) Be sure to verify that the proper adapter kits have been ordered and supplied with the tape
head.
