 Speed in between 50 and 60 package a minute;
 Uses a convenient touch screen (HMI);
 Uses a recipe and ingredient method, can be finetuned according to the product easily;
 A KLR 930 Air printer or an ink jet printer can be installed on the equipment;
 Made of stainless steel 304 and anodize aluminum;
 Equipped with an Ethernet communication device;
 Easy clip loading and does print automatically when loading (if set in the parameters);
 Ambidextrous machine (left or right).
Dimensions (for transport)
The clips holder can be disassembled from the body of the machine in order to save space.
Height: 24 inches
Length: 16 inches
Width: 15 inches
Specification for electricity and air
This machine is intended to use these specifications:
Electrical need: 120 Volts – 5 Amps – 1 Phase – 60 Hertz (access within 5 feet from the machine)
Need a 3 pins female jack power cord adapter 18AWG. Provided in the packaging with the machine:
PE-01531-15-5P-6

INSTALLATION
Mounted directly on a conveyor:
Of course, the KLR.950 is designed to be installed on KLR equipments, such a conveyor. The brackets are
attached to the body and are easy for removing quickly the machine from the conveyor. Take note this
following machine is a left version:
In case the machine is needed to be installed on a different conveyor: Take note this following bolt
patern is for a left version. Hardware needed for the pivot bracket are 5/16-24 screws. Hardware
needed for the adjustable bracket are 1/4-28 screws. It is recommended to use flat headed screws in a
thick wall conveyor since it is required to be screwed from inside the conveyor:

To install it, it is needed:
 Two (2) PM-00278;
 Two (2) 1/4-20 socket head 2 ¼ inches long;
 Two (2) 1/4 washer;
 Two (2) 1/4 lock washer;
 Clips holder.

Minimum space required when installed on a conveyor
Refer to measuring for a standard setup with a KLR.950 and KLR.970. Products must be contrained by
guides on both sides to prevent product going into the system. Those guides should at least be present
until the bag tail is engaged into the KLR.950 bag closer machine. These is another view on the next
page. Dimensions are in inches

 Make sure the first couple of clips are straight, then delicately insert the clip band into the rail
until a restriction is felt. It should be free inside;
 Press LOAD on the screen. It should automatically reach the receiving position;
 If needed, test few cycles by pressing MANUAL CYCLE;

13
 If needed, remove the clip by pressing UNLOAD;
Ink jet printer setup
Note: This section is only for the machine that has the "ink jet printer" option. Moreover, "air printer" is
another option available on this equipment. To have more information regarding to air printer, see
KLR.930 manual.

Adjustment
During running, you may notice some irregularity or unproper closing, here is what to do to fix these
problems quickly:
1. Clip is too close to the product: unscrew the angle bracket and rotate the machine slightly
toward the exterior of the conveyor;
Go to advanced parameters
To reach the advanced parameters, press PARAMETERS;
Enter "user name", "password" by pressing their blank space and press LOGIN;
Advanced parameters
See "Go to advanced parameters" to know how to reach this section. There is some configuration
available on the first page. To change one of them, press the number itself. When finished, press
LOGOUT to relock the parameters.
See description on next pages

Breakoff delay
Time the machine is waiting before breaking the clip after the bag sensor as been triggered. However,
the machine is only starting this delay when the sensor is triggered back off (at the end of the bag).
When the bag is lifting the sensor finger, the sensor is sending the signal. A too short value will result in
a bag not completely fitted in the clip. On the other hand, a too long value will retain the product and
leave it sideways.
Feed after load qty
When the user is loading clips into the machine ("load" button), it will count this number in order to
present one clip in the receiving position. 4 is the factory setting. If the machine is equipped with a
printer (ink jet or air printer), the value will affect how many clips it needs to print as well.
