DESCRIPTION OF USA 3036 -SB
Figure 1
The Interpack USA 3036-SB Carton Sealing Machine with HSD2000 ETII Tape Heads
is designed to apply Intertape brand pressure sensitive carton sealing tape to the top
and bottom center seam of regular slotted corrugated cartons. The USA 3036-SB is
manually adjustable to a wide range of carton sizes (see Carton Size Capacity, page 12)
and permits processing of underfilled and overfilled applications by means of
compression guides and a one-inch floating top tape head assembly. The self-centering
Side Belt Drive system makes carton width adjustment effortless. The USA 3036-SB
Carton Sealer features mirror image controls to facilitate its adaption into an existing
conveyor line.

SET-UP PROCEDURES
Receiving and Handling
The machine is shipped to the customer in a box and fixed to a pallet.
Remove the strapping and the staples at the bottom of the box.
Lift off the box cover and sleeve.
Remove the mounting bolts and nuts, which secure the USA 3036-SB to the
shipping pallet.
Lift the machine off the pallet and install it on your packaging line.
Remove all tie wraps and other shipping materials.
Note: After unpacking the machine, look for any damage that may have
occurred during shipping. Should the machine be damaged, file a claim
with the transport company and notify your Intertape representative.
Setting-up
1) General
The Carton Sealer must be installed on a near level ground.
Ensure that the machine is level and firmly on the ground (no rocking). Adjust
the roller height with the four (4) telescopic adjustment legs to accommodate
conveyor heights from 24 to 30 inches.
To adjust the Carton Sealer height,
jack up the machine to give ample
room to extend the legs. Using a
9/16" box end wrench, loosen the
eight (8) 1/2" hex head bolts. Adjust
the legs to the desired conveyor
height and tighten the bolts. Etched
scales on the legs facilitate
proportionate leveling.

SET-UP PROCEDURES
Customer supplied infeed and exit conveyors (or rollers) must be level with the machine,
otherwise, the performance of the machine may be affected. The customer-supplied
infeed conveyor (if used) should provide straight and level entry. The customer-supplied
exit conveyor (if used) should be straight and declined no more than 1/4 inch per foot
away from the machine.
2) Electrical Connection
The electrical control can be located
on either side of the Carton Sealer
for customer convenience. It
contains the green "on" push button
and the red "E-Stop" mushroom push
button, which is to be used both for
emergency stops as well as regular
halting of the machine.
Figure 5
An eight (8) foot standard three conductor power cord with plug is provided for 115 V, 60
Hz, 15 amp electrical service. The servicing receptacle must be properly grounded.
Before the machine is plugged into the receptacle, ensure that all materials are removed
from the machine. The electrical control is protected with an automatic circuit breaker
with resettable overload.

SET-UP PROCEDURES
3) Mirror Image Controls
Other than the electrical control box, there are three (3) other mirror image controls that
can be placed on the right or the left hand side of the machine for easier operation.
1) Single Locking System
This system is located on
the bridge of the Top Tape
Head Box and is used to
adjust the height of the
Top Tape Head to the
height of the carton. The
lever is assembled on the
left hand side. To change
sides, simply remove the
cap on the right, unscrew
the lever and screw it back
on the right side. Replace
the cap on the left side.
Figure 6
2) Locking Floating System
The lever for this system is
located on the left side of
the Top Tape Head Box. It
has toggle clamp used to
lock or unlock the floating
system. For opposite side
installation: remove red
cover cap on right hand
side, unscrew the toggle
clamp with ¾” wrench,
replace one with the other,
secure the toggle’s
position with the locknut.

4) Tape Loading and Threading
A) Tape Loading
WARNING! TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD
FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE BEGINNING TO WORK ON THE TAPE
HEADS OR TO LOAD TAPE.IF POWER CORDS ARE NOT DISCONNECTED,
SEVERE INJURY TO PERSONNEL COULD RESULT.
The HSD2000ET II/2’’ tape heads accommodate 2-inch wide tape rolls, while the
optional HSD2000ET II/3’’ tape heads accommodate 3-inch wide rolls. See the label
on the side of the HSD2000ETII tape head for the loadable tape sizes.
Push the roll of tape onto the mandrel with the adhesive side up (refer to threading
diagram on the HSD2000ETII tape head) until the core is set against the mandrel
flange. This ensures the tape will be aligned when feeding into the tape head.

SET-UP PROCEDURES
B) Tape Threading
WARNING! THE KNIFE CONTAINED IN THE TAPE HEAD IS EXTREMELY SHARP.USE
CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE BLADE GUARD AND THREADING THE
TAPE TO AVOID PERSONNEL INJURY.
To thread the tape in the upper Tape Head, you do not require any special tools.
Push the Tape Head towards the front of the machine and lift up.
Pull approximately twelve (12) inches of tape from the roll and fold in half
lengthwise. This allows you to thread the tape without it adhering to the guide
and clutch rollers inside the Tape Head.
Follow the tape-threading diagram on the side plate of the HSD2000 ETII Tape
Head. Refer to your Tape Head manual for further information if required.
Remove the blade guard from the knife in the Tape Head.
Cut off the folded tape.
Replace the upper Tape Head to its initial position.
To thread the lower Tape Head, no special tools are required.
Lift the top Tape Head box to the uppermost position.
Remove the lower Tape Head by grasping the tape application rollers and lifting
straight up.
Pull approximately twelve (12) inches from the roll and fold in half lengthwise.
This allows you to thread the tape without it adhering to the guide and clutch
rollers inside the Tape Head.
Follow the tape-threading diagram on the side plate of the HSD2000 ET II Tape
Head. Refer to your Tape Head manual for further information if required.
Remove the blade guard from the knife in the Tape Head.
Cut off the folded tape.
Replace the lower Tape Head to its initial position.

MAINTENANCE
Depending on usage, grease acme shaft on a three months interval.
Open up drive base by winding handle, apply grease to the acme
shaft between the cast iron drive base supports, then close the drive
base and repeat application to the outside of cast iron drive base
supports. Recommended lubricants are: 1st Beacon 325 (ESSO
brand), 2nd graphite base greases, and 3rd standard ball-bearing
grease.
Spray column shaft once a month with silicon based dry film lubricant.
This won’t attract dust and lint from the surroundings.
No other lubrication is necessary to operate the machine.
