4.0 Principals of Heat Sealing
CHAPTER 4 PRINCIPALS OF HEAT SEALING
Heat
Hot Air Heating System
The Heat required for the welding operation is created electrically by one heating element
located inside the Heat Element Housing. The Internal Air Compressor pumps air over the heat
element and carries the heat through the Hot Air Nozzle, applying the heat to the material to be
welded. The hot air temperature ranges from 25 to 730 Degrees Celsius (100 to 1350 Degrees
Fahrenheit).
Hot Wedge Heating System
The Hot Wedge heat system uses four cartridge heat elements to electrically heat the Wedge.
The Hot Wedge temperature ranges from 25 to 450 Degrees Celsius (100 to 915 Degrees Fahr-
enheit).
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 more the material will be heated. The faster the
speed setting, the less the material will be heated. 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.
Pressure
The pressure of the weld roller is the final step when creating a weld. The pressure of the weld
roller compresses the heated material together completing the welding process.
Summary
When heat sealing, the correct combination of heat, speed, and pressure will allow you to
achieve a properly welded seam.

Hot Air Heat System Adjustments
Begin by turning your hot air on and setting to the desired temperature. Set weld rollers to the
closed position by engaging the Weld Roller Pedal.
1. Left to right nozzle position, check this by engaging the Drive Foot Pedal and watch the
tip of the nozzle. It should be centered left to right on the weld rollers, if so, move on to
next alignment step. If not, locate the left to right Lockdown Knob and loosen by two
turns. This will allow adjustment of the left to right Micrometer. Now locate the left to right
Micrometer which is located about eye level with the operator. Rotating the left to right
Micrometer Knob so the numeric value is increasing will move the nozzle tip to the left.
Rotating the left to right Micrometer Knob so the numeric value is decreasing will move
the nozzle tip to the right. After the nozzle is centered on the weld rollers, tighten down
the left to right Lockdown Knob.
2. Up and down nozzle position, check this by engaging the Drive Foot Pedal and watch the
tip of nozzle. It should be pointing at the pinch point of the two weld rollers, if so move on
to next alignment step. If not locate the Height Lockdown Knob and loosen by two turns.
This will allow us to adjust the Height Micrometer Knob. The Height Micrometer Knob
is located at the bottom of the heat system pointing downward. Rotating the Height
Micrometer Knob so the numeric value is increasing will raise the nozzle tip. Rotating the
Height Micrometer Knob so the numeric value is decreasing will lower the nozzle tip.
After the nozzle is aligned, tighten down the Height Lockdown Knob.
Note: Nozzle tip will move up or down when heat is changed. After a heat change of
more than 100 degrees, be sure to check height of nozzle tip.
3. Depth of your nozzle should be at approximately ¼ - ½ of an inch from the pinch point
of your weld rollers. Check this by engaging the Drive Foot Pedal and watch the tip of
nozzle. If the nozzle is aligned, perform a test weld. If not locate the Depth Lockdown
Knob and loosen by two turns. This will allow us to adjust the Depth Micrometer Knob.
The Depth Micrometer Knob is located on the back of the heat system facing the
direction of fabric flow. Rotating the Depth Micrometer Knob so the numeric value is
increasing will move the nozzle tip closer to the weld rollers. Rotating the Depth
Micrometer Knob so the numeric value is decreasing will move the nozzle tip away from
the weld rollers. After nozzle is aligned, tighten down the Depth Micrometer Knob. When
the nozzle is aligned, perform a test weld.
