Section 1.3: Principles of Heat Sealing
Module 1.3.1: Heat
Hot Air
The heat required for the welding operation is created
electrically by two heating elements located inside the heat element
housing. The internal air compressor pumps air over the heat
elements and carries the heat through the hot air nozzle, applying
the heat to the material to be welded. The hot air temperature
ranges from 100 to 1350 Degrees Fahrenheit or 25 to 730 Degrees
Celsius.
Hot Wedge
The heat required for the welding operation is created
electrically by heating elements located inside the wedge. Heat
dissipates through the aluminum core of the wedge, to the contact
area, applying heat to the material to be welded. The temperature
ranges from 100 to 900 Degrees Fahrenheit or 25 to 490 Degrees
Celsius.
Module 1.3.2: Speed
The speed of the weld rollers determines the amount of time the
heat is applied to the material being welded. The slower the speed
setting, the less heat needed to be applied to the material. The
faster the speed setting, the more heat will have to be applied to the
material. To achieve the best weld, a minimal amount of heat should
be applied to the material while still achieving a full weld. Too much
heat will cause distortion of the material while not enough heat will
prevent the material from welding.
Module 1.3.3: Pressure
The pressure of the weld rollers is the final step when creating a
weld. The pressure of the weld rollers compresses the heated

Page 1-4
Chapter 1: Machine Overview | Section 1.4: Transportation, Specifications, and Storage
material together completing the welding process.
Module 1.3.4: Summary
When heat sealing, the correct combination of heat, speed, and
roller pressure will allow you to achieve a properly welded seam.
Section 1.4: Transportation, Specifications, and Storage
Warning! It is recommended to use a forklift when moving a
crated machine or removing crated machine from pallet.
Module 1.4.1: Transporting Within Production Facility

Chapter 2: Heating System Overview and
Adjustments
Section 2.1: Hot Air Heating System
Nozzle placement is a key component in heat sealing. A properly placed nozzle will be
centered on the weld rollers approximately 1/4 - 1/2 inches away and have a slight whistle
during the welding process.
WA R N I N G! The Hot Air Heating System near the Nozzle and the Nozzle Clamp is very
hot and will cause burning if not allowed to cool before handling. Turn the
Heat and Power Switches to the off position and allow the Hot Air Heating
System to cool for at least 30 minutes before touching with bare skin.
Length of time may vary depending on ambient temperature and
environmental conditions.
Adjusting Nozzle
When an adjustment is needed, set the desired Weld Roller pressure (or P.S.I.) and turn
the Speed Control to the lowest setting. Make the adjustment, and then check the Nozzle
placement by engaging the Drive Foot Switch.
The angle of the Nozzle must be adjusted after the machine has cooled down to avoid
personal injury. While all other Nozzle adjustments must be made after the machine has
been brought up to welding temperature.
The Weld Roller Pressure and the temperature of the Nozzle both play an important
role in the placement of the Nozzle. Varying Weld Roller Pressure (or P.S.I.) will change the
position of the Weld Roller Pinch Point causing the Nozzle to become misaligned. The
Nozzle placement will also change when welding at different temperatures. As the
temperature increases, the Nozzle expands lowering it’s position on the Weld Rollers. As
the Temperature decreases, the Nozzle contracts raising it’s position on the Weld Rollers.
Check the placement of the Nozzle when the temperature is changed more than 200
degrees F (93 degrees C) or the Weld Roller Pressure is changed more than 10 p.s.i.
NOTE: Every 200° F change in temperature will require realignment of Nozzle.

Page 2-2
Chapter 2: Heating System Overview and Adjustments | Section 2.1: Hot Air Heating System
Adjusting Nozzle Angle
The Nozzle angle is the angle at which the Nozzle Tip is blowing air in at the Weld
Rollers. This relationship should be parallel so that air flow is directed into the Weld Roller
Pinch Point. Having the angle of the Nozzle misaligned will cause the fabric to become
overheated leaving the seam under heated and unwelded. Before proceeding with
adjusting the angle you must be certain that the temperature of the Nozzle is cool to the
touch. Turn the Heat Switch to the off position and wait for the machine to cool down.
Depress the Drive Foot Switch to swing Nozzle into place and check angle of the Nozzle. If
not properly placed, (Figure2.1) release the Drive Foot Switch to swing Nozzle out and
proceed with the following:
The angle of the Nozzle must be adjusted after the machine has cooled down to avoid
personal injury.
1. Turn the Override Switch to the on position
which will swing the Nozzle into place so
that the angle can be adjusted.
2. Loosen the Nozzle Clamp enough to let the
Nozzle rotate but not become
disconnected. (Figure2.2)
3. Rotate the Nozzle accordingly so that the
angle of the Nozzle Tip is parallel with the
Weld Rollers
4. Tighten the Nozzle Clamp so that the
Nozzle is held securely in place forming a
tight seal around the ball end of the Nozzle
and the Dual Element Housing. (Figure2.2)
Check to see if the proper adjustment of
the Nozzle has been made. (Figure2.3)
Repeat steps 1 through 4 until correct.

Chapter 2: Heating System Overview and Adjustments | Section 2.1: Hot Air Heating System
Preliminary Steps Before Adjusting The Nozzle
Below are the steps that need to be taken before adjusting the nozzle
NOTE:The Nozzle angle must be adjusted prior to step 1 while the Nozzle is cold to
avoid personal injury. (See "Adjusting Nozzle Angle" on page 2-2.)
1. Preheat the Hot Air Heating System to the desired welding
temperature by turning the Power and Heat Switches to the on
position. The Nozzle will expand as the temperature is increased
changing its position on the Weld Rollers.
2. Set the Weld Roller Pressure to desired setting, so that the Weld
Roller Pinch Point is set. (Figure2.4)
3. Turn the Master Speed Control to “000” to insure the Weld Rollers
will not turn. (Figure2.5)
4. Depress the Drive Foot Switch to swing Nozzle into place and
insure it will not hit the Weld Rollers. If the Nozzle should hit,
release the Drive Foot Switch and turn the Depth Adjustment
Knob counter clock-wise to move the Nozzle back away from the
Weld Rollers so it does not hit.
5. Turn the Master Speed Control to “100” to activate the Weld
Rollers. (Figure2.6)
Figure 2.4:

Figure 2.6:

Page 2-4
Chapter 2: Heating System Overview and Adjustments | Section 2.1: Hot Air Heating System
Nozzle Height
The Nozzle Height is the vertical relationship that the Nozzle Tip has with the Weld
Rollers. The ideal height of the Nozzle Tip will be vertically centered between the Weld
Rollers so that the Air flow is directed into the pinch point. If the Nozzle is to high or to
low, welding speeds will not be as efficient as possible and may cause the fabric to be
ascetically overheated. Depress the Drive Foot Switch to swing the Nozzle into place and
check the height of the Nozzle Tip. If not properly placed, (Figure2.7) release the Drive
Foot Switch to swing Nozzle out and proceed with the following:
1.The Front Locking Bolt must be loosened
before adjustments can be made.Use a 3/
16” Allen Wrench to loosen the Front
Locking Bolt. The bolt should be just loose
enough to allow for the height of the
Nozzle to be adjusted. (Figure2.8)
(Figure2.9)
2.Adjust the height of the Nozzle so that it is
vertically aligned with the Weld Roller
Pinch Point by turning the Height
Adjustment Knob. (Figure2.9)
a. clockwise to adjust the Nozzle up.
b.counterclockwise to adjust the
Nozzle down.
3.Depress the Drive Foot Switch to swing
Nozzle into place and check to see if the
proper height adjustment of the Nozzle
has been made. (Figure2.10) Repeat steps
1 through 3 until correct.
4.Tighten the Front Locking Bolt.
5.Re-check the nozzle alignment once the
bolt is tightened, as slight movement may
occur.

Chapter 2: Heating System Overview and Adjustments | Section 2.1: Hot Air Heating System
Depth of Nozzle
The depth of the Nozzle is the distance that the Nozzle Tip is away from the Weld Roller
Pinch Point, which is a very important factor when welding. The optimal distance is 0.25”
to 0.50” away from the Weld Roller Pinch Point. Having the Nozzle too close to the Weld
Rollers may result in the material contacting the Nozzle and burning the fabric, or cause
the nozzle to be dragged into the rollers and cause damage to the nozzle. Having the
Nozzle too far away may result in slower welding speeds. Depress the Drive Foot Switch to
swing Nozzle into place and check the distance. If not properly placed, (Figure2.11)
release the Drive Foot Switch to swing the Nozzle out and proceed with the following:
1.Adjust the depth of the Nozzle so that it
is 0.25” to 0.50” away from the Weld
Rollers by turning the Depth Adjustment
Knob. (Figure2.12)
a. clockwise to adjust the Nozzle in
toward the Weld Rollers.
b.counterclockwise to adjust the
Nozzle back away from the Weld
Rollers.
2.Depress the Drive Foot Switch to swing
Nozzle into place and Check to see if the
proper depth adjustment of the Nozzle
has been made. (Figure2.13) Repeat
steps 1 and 2 until correct.
