Company
MARQ Packaging Systems, Inc. was founded in 1965 by Ted Marquis to design and manufacture
economical and reliable case erector/bottom sealers. We have expanded our manufacturing producing a
complete line of case packers, partition assembler/inserters, case erector/bottom sealers, case sealers, and
trayforming equipment available with or without the Q.C. (Quick Change) option. MARQ machines seal
cases with either hot melt, cold glue, pressure sensitive tape or any combination thereof. Also available
are uniform sealers, random sealers, and case vibrators. MARQ innovations have helped establish new
standards in many areas of the packaging industry. Each MARQ machine is designed to adjust to case
sizes outside its standard making MARQ's line of basic machines adaptable to hundreds of uses.
MARQ's 65,000 square foot plant, located near theYakima International Air Terminal, is staffed with
design engineers, craftsmen, and a sales force who team up for a one-on-one effort with each of MARQ's
customers. We at MARQ Packaging Systems, Inc. take pride in the fact that our products bear the
MARQ of Quality and Excellence.

NOTE: It is very important that once the machine arrives it is checked carefully for any damage that may
have occurred in transit. Since MARQ's terms are F.O.B.Yakima, it is your responsibility to contact the
carrier and file any necessary damage claims with them.
Each MARQ Case Sealer is tested prior to shipping to ensure proper operation. Due to variations in case
sizes, packing conditions, bulge and weight, it may be necessary to make minor changes in the settings
discussed below to obtain optimum performance and operation.
Leveling & Adjusting Height
The Case Sealer should be leveled for proper height using the machine's adjustable legs.
• The standard infeed deck height is set at 25-27"
• The machine should not be resting on casters during operation.
Electrical Connections
The following electrical connections are required:
• Main Drive Shaft - 230v AC 3 ph 3/4 HP
• Control Box - 110v AC 1ph 60 Hz
• Other voltages are available on request.
Air Connections
An air supply capable of delivering the required volume of air at 80 psi should be connected to the
machine using a filter/regulator/lubricator. Air line requirements between the compressor and the machine
should be as follows:
• 1/2” pipe 0–25 ft.
• 3/4” pipe 25–60 ft.
• 1” pipe 50 ft. or over.
Adjusting Air Cylinder Speed
Most of the air valves on the machine have exhaust restrictors to control the speed of the air cylinders
they operate. To increase the speed of an air cylinder, open the exhaust restrictor until the desired speed
is reached. To decrease the speed of an air cylinder, close the exhaust restrictor until the desired speed is
reached. See page 17, Solenoid Valves for more on adjusting the air flow.
Conveyors
For optimal performance powered conveyors should always be used in conjunction with MARQ Sealers.
The infeed conveyor should be powered at .75 feet per second to insure case separation at the gate.

figure 16-1. Main Air Prep Unit
MainAir Prep Unit
The main air prep unit has a two-position gate valve that directs or shuts off
high-pressure air to the machine. (See fig. 16-2)
Air Pressure Regulator/Filter/Lubricator
A sight gauge shows the amount of the air pressure in pounds per square
inch (psi). For the machine to operate correctly this must read at a constant
80 psi. (See fig. 16-3)
The regulating hand knob adjusts the air pressure. It is located just below
the sight gauge. Pulling down and turning the knob clockwise increases air
pressure. Pushing the Knob back up locks adjustment in place. (See fig.
16-3 or 16-1B)
The filter assembly removes debris from the air system. (See fig. 16-4)
On the bottom of the filter assembly casing there is a screw-type pet cock
for draining accumulated moisture. (See fig. 16-1A)
A soft start adjustment screw lets you adjust the speed of the airflow being
applied to the machine. (See fig. 16-1C)
An oil reservoir supplies lubricant to the air lines. (See fig. 16-5)
Adjust the amount of oil supplied in the air system by turning the
adjustment knob on top of the oil reservoir. A window allows for counting
of the drops supplied. Adjust lubricant for 1 drop for every 10-15 cases.
Turn either left (positive) to increase, or right (negative) to decrease. (See
fig. 16-6)
The oil reservoir is filled with a non-detergent hydraulic oil.A 10W or
transmission fluid will work in this system as long as it is a non-detergent
oil.

Components: SolenoidValves
Solenoid Valves
A solenoid valve (fig. 17-1) receives an electrical signal from
the controller to shuttle a plunger back and forth. The plunger
directs air from the air lines to the air-driven devices on the
machine.
The manual override is a small blue screw on the top of the
solenoid valve (fig. 17-2). It can be turned, using a screwdriver,
to override the electrical signal, which causes the plunger to
shift and direct air from the "B" port of the valve to the "A"
port, causing the cylinder to actuate.
The exhaust restricters are located on the bottom of each valve
(fig. 17-3). Turn the screws to increase (counter-clockwise)
or decrease (clockwise) the air flow.

Air Cylinder
An air cylinder houses a piston that is driven back and forth by
high-pressure air that actuates the air-driven devices on the
machine. (fig 18-1)
CushionAdjustment Screws
The cushion adjustment screws are set screws that are turned
to adjust the travel of the piston into the cushion. Turning the
screw clockwise increases the cushion and allows the piston
rod to ratchet at a higher rate of speed. This adjusts the cylin-
der stroke.

Side Lug Assembly
• Side Lugs
The side lugs are "L" shaped pieces of metal mounted
on a drive chain which moves the cases through the
machine.
• Side Lug Motor
The side lug motor is a .75 HP motor that powers the
side lug drive chains that transfer cases through the
machine.
• Micro Limit Switch
The micro limit switch is mounted under the side lug
drive chain to signal the position of the side lugs to the
controller. The side lugs trip the switch arm on the limit
switch as they rotate around the drive chain.
Brake/Clutch Module
The brake/clutch module is a 90 volt AC assembly that starts
and stops the side lug drive chain as it transfers cases
through the machine. This allows cases to be stopped at each
station for the performance of various operations.
Gearbox
The gearbox is a set of gears that transfers the power from
the motors horizontally to drive the machine's side lug drive
chain. PLEASE REFER TO THE MAINTENANCE
