GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual covers safety precautions, parameters, machine operation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting information. The machine shall only be operated by someone over the age of 18,
and not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol. Any modification to the machine voids any
warranty, and may cause harm to individuals using the machine while in operation.
CHECK PACKAGE UPON ARRIVAL
Be extra careful if using a sharp instrument when removing the protective wrapping from the
equipment. Upon receipt of a Manual Induction Sealing, please inspect for external damage, if no
damage is evident on the external packaging, open package to ensure all ordered items are within,
and there is no concealed damage to the machine.
HANDLING
The JORESTECH®Manual Induction Sealing Machine was completely tested and inspected before
being ready for shipment. Like any piece of electronic equipment, it should not be dropped or given
harsh treatment.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
THIS EQUIPMENT PRODUCES AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD TO FACILITATE THE INDUCTION SEALING
PROCESS. THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD QUICKLY HEATS ANY METAL WITHIN THE FIELD AND MAY,
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, IGNITE THE METAL OR SURROUNDING MATERIALS.
WARNING: This machine uses voltages that are potentially hazardous. Severe, even life-
threatening, personal injury could result if the instructions contained in this manual are
not followed. Before operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly. This manual
should be kept for future reference.
⚠DO NOT Reach into the equipment, or any electrical enclosure, without first removing the
power. Always disconnect power before servicing, changing accessories or cleaning the unit
⚠NEVER apply power to this unit without all covers securely in place.
⚠DO NOT Use the unit outdoors.
⚠DO NOT Operate this equipment in a hazardous environment. The presence of High Voltage
within this equipment may result in explosion or fire when operated near flammable vapors,
fuels, or other combustibles.
⚠DO NOT Attempt to seal products with damaged or improperly applied liners, as they may
overheat causing the liner and container contents to ignite.
⚠BEFORE operating the machine, make sure the power supply is correct and is properly
grounded.
⚠DO NOT use the unit if the power cord, plug or any other parts are damaged. To avoid damaging
the electrical cord, keep it out of areas where it can be stepped on.
⚠DO NOT alter or modify the machine’s original design in any way.
⚠NEVER operate or service your unit until you have read this manual. Keep this Operation
Manual with care for easy reference.

OPERATION
The JORESTECH®Manual Induction Sealing Machine Series are compact, but powerful enough to
handle virtually all your induction cap sealing needs. With its advanced electronics and a variety of
sealing heads, these portable units can seal everything from the smallest closures to 120mm wide-
mouth containers. These units require no water cooling, or special power so it can be used virtually
anywhere, and are extremely simple to use.
Induction Sealing is a process used to seal containers hermetically by using an electromagnetic field
to heat a heat-sealable foil liner located within a closure. This electromagnetic field heats the liner
by inducing currents into the metal of the foil liner located within the closures of your containers.
Electrical currents, called “eddy currents”, are induced into the aluminum foil, resulting in a
resistance-type heating effect. The polymer coating melts and flows around the lip of the container,
when the electromagnetic field is shut off the polymer cools and hardens, bonding the foil to the
container lip. When the closure is removed from the container the metal foil will remain bonded to
the lip of the container.
NOTE: A fundamental requirement for induction cap sealing is to have the proper amount of torque
on the cap, which exerts a downward force when sealing.
Sealing Head Selection
The Manual Induction Sealing Machines are designed for different cap sizes. If you need to seal
multiple products, with a varying range of cap and liner sizes, it is possible that you need to select
the machine with the appropriate sealing head dimension according with your production needs. (See
Section: Sealing Heads dimensions and Types)
Each sealing head is designed to allow centering the caps, to achieve better sealing results. The large
sealing head (E-IND-130HC) is supplied with 3 standard size centering rings to aid in properly aligning
the cap under the center of the sealing head. For replace a centering ring, you must unthread the
one in the sealing head and thread and tighten the other one.

Sequence of Operation
1- Place the machine on a stable worktable.
2- Connect the power cord to a wall outlet with correct supply voltage.
3- Plug in the machine and TURN ON the main switch on back side of machine. Display must show
the actual input voltage. Check if the voltage is within the correct range for machine
operation.
4- Tightly screw on induction seal cap to jar and center the induction head on top of the cap.
5- Apply a slightly downward pressure on the cap, and press the red start button until the timer in
display reaches zero.
6- Allow cap to cool before handling. Open the bottle to check the sealing conditions. If the sealing
is acceptable then repeat the steps to seal another cap. If not, you must need to adjust the
sealing time accordingly with the size of the cap and type of liner.
NOTE: If the liner looks tight but can be peeled off easily, it is possible that sealing time is
insufficient and you need to increase sealing time. If the liner shows signs of deterioration and/or
wrinkling and the inside of the closure shows signs of melting or burned, means the sealing time
is too long and you need to decrease the sealing time.
NOTE: Timer can be set between 0.1 and 9.9 seconds. To ensure the best seal, unit should be
tested to determine the best time setting according with product.
When the voltage value, shown on display is above 140VAC or below 90VAC (For E-IND-35/100HA)
stop sealing work until voltage returns to normal conditions.
When the voltage value, shown on display, is above 250VAC or below 180VAC (For E-IND-130HC) stop
sealing work until voltage returns to normal conditions.
If the RED Overcurrent light indicator, on the front panel, flickers and sounds a warning tone, means
that output current exceeds the maximum value and the Overcurrent protection function is
activated. In this case Induction work is not effective. Move the induction head from cap surface,
increasing the distance, until the lights turns off.
