Use in a dry, relatively clean environment at 40° to 105° F (5° to 40° C) with clean dry cartons.
Actual production rate is dependent on operator’s dexterity and the case size mix. Belt speed is v82 ft/min, boxes must be
separated by 14 in. (355.6mm).
Use only Pressure Sensitive Tape. The machine can accommodate tape widths of 2 – 3 in. (48 - 75mm)
depending on the tape heads supplied.
A maximum tape roll diameter of 16” (406m) on a 3” (76mm) core can be installed on the tape heads. This machine can
accommodate a variety of Intertape brand tape. Consult the factory if a specic tape is needed for your application.
The standard tape leg length of 2.25” (57.2mm) is factory set. The standard tape leg length may vary up to ¼” (6mm) based on
tape tension and line speed.
The standard tape leg length is adjustable +/- ¼” (6mm). Refer to the tape head manual for your tape heads for how to adjust
the tape leg length.
Electrical:
This machine comes standard with two gear motors, one on each drive base, an electrical box, and a control box.
The control box contains a switch, an switch, and a push button. A 12 ft (3657.6mm) standard,
three-conductor power cord with plug is provided for service. The receptacle providing this service be
properly grounded.
Compressed Air: 90 PSI 9CFM
This machine comes standard with one main regulator and four sub-regulators.
Air must be clean and dry. If moisture enters the system valves can begin to degrade and lines slowly clog. This can cause
reduced ow resulting in undesired machine behavior.

However, if the box length (in the direction of the seal) to box height ratio is 0.75 or less, several boxes should be test run to
assure proper machine performance. The formula is as follows:
• Regular Slotted Containers (RSC)
• Other styles may be processed. Consult factory.
• 125 to 175 PSI bursting test, single or double wall, B or
C utes
• Other styles may be processed. Consult factory.

The Interpack RSA 20-B is shipped to the customer in a box and xed to a pallet. The machine is enclosed with either
a corrugated sleeve and cap or an HSC corrugated box. The sequence below is step by step instructions to remove all
packing materials.
After unpacking the Case Sealer, look for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Should the Case Sealer be
damaged, le a claim with the transport company and notify your IPG representative as soon as possible.
The Case Sealer must be installed on a near level ground. Use the adjustable legs to ensure the machine is level and rmly
planted on the ground (no rocking). Adjust the leg height with the four (4) telescopic adjustment legs to accommodate conveyor
heights from 24 to 30 inches. Consult with the factory for any other conveyor heights that may be required.
Customer supplied feed conveyor (if used) should provide straight and level entry into the Case Sealer. Customer supplied exit
conveyor (if used) should be straight and declined no more than 20mm/meter away from the Case Sealer to convey the sealed
cartons away from the machine.
To adjust the Case Sealer height, jack up the machine to
give ample room to extend the legs. Using a 19mm box
end wrench, loosen the eight (8) M12mm hex bolts. Adjust
the legs to the desired conveyor height and tighten the
bolts. Etched lines on the legs ease leveling.
1. Remove the strapping and staples at
the bottom of the box
2. Lift the box cover o of the machine,
use caution and team lift
3. Inspect the machine for any damage that
may have occurred during shipping
4. Remove the mounting bolts and nuts
that secure the machine to the pallet
5. Using a forklift or other lifting device, lift
the machine o the pallet
◦Install any optional casters at this
point as well as adjusting leg height
for desired conveyor height
6. Position the machine in its desired
location
7. Remove any remaining tie wraps and
shipping materials
8. Install any optionally ordered
equipment
