GAS HOSE REEL WINDER
With its automatic hose return system, don’t leave your Ripack shrink
gun lying around.
A ratchet locks your hose at the desired distance to ensure easy retrac-

A simple tension on the hose engages the rewind.
The hose reel is an alternative to the Ripack bottle cart and also makes
it easier to move around the goods to be packed.

Press the trigger to empty the gas hose and release the pressure.
For all work inside professional workshops, the gas bottle must be placed

This appliance, like all other gas appliances, consumes air and
produces combustion fumes that contain CO2 and CO.

sole operating mechanism.
The RIPACK 2100 is a gun incorporating several safety mechanisms:

•
hose breaks or tears.
• An automatic safety device (so-called dead man’s switch) cuts the
supply of gas automatically if the trigger is released. This stops the
heating immediately. This dead man’s device must never be blocked
in the open position in any way.
• A guard in front of the trigger prevents untimely operation.

EXAMPLES OF USE
SHRINK-WRAPPING A LOADED PALLET
The pallet must be lifted so that the four corners
are accessible: the purpose of this is to allow the
very strong cohesion between the pallet and the
RIPACK product range that is designed specially to
keep pallets lifted from the ground: the CALPACK
(contact your dealer).
Slide the shrink cover, which must be about 5% wi-
to be shrunk under the pallet (H plus 200 mm).
Ignite your RIPACK Series 3000 as explained in
the chapter «Operation».
SHRINK-WRAPPING RECOMMENDATIONS
Remain at a distance of at least about
shrink-wrapping the lower part of the
four sides so the pallet is shrink-wrap-
ped underneath. Make sure you point
sides of the pallet.
Apply the heat in a continuous move-
ment and at a constant speed.
NEVER STAY ON THE SAME SPOT
must observe the reaction and adapt your
speed and movement and/or the distance
-
dingly.
Once the lower part of the pallet has been
shrinkwrapped, continue the operation for
each side and move from top to bottom to
cover the entire height.
Once the 4 sides have been shrink-wrap-
ped, you can do the top by applying the hot
air to the top of the pallet.
along the sides so you should apply less
heat on the top in order to prevent the co-
ver from being damaged.
When you have stopped applying heat
of its make-up, will continue to shrink for
some time. This time will vary depending
of load that has been wrapped. It is re-
commended therefore that you wait until
tight before moving the pallet.
After cooling and before storage, always
check that the cover and the wrapped
goods are in good condition.
CHECK CAREFULLY FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS
AFTER SHRINK-WRAPPING.
