IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY
The development of a good safety program, that is rigidly
enforced, is absolutely imperative when involved in the operation of
industrial equipment. Our machinery is well designed and includes
extremely important safety features. The part you the user play
through proper installation and maintenance procedures is of far
greater significance than our designs. Only properly trained
individuals following rigidly enforced safety rules, as recommended
by A.N.S.I. and O.S.H.A., should be allowed to operate these
machines.

UNPACKING
UNPACKING
THOROUGHLY INSPECT EQUIPMENT UPON ARRIVAL.
If goods are received short or in a damaged condition, it
is important that you notify the carrier’s driver before he leaves
your company and insist on anotation of the loss or damage
across the face of the freight bill. Unless this is done, no claim can
be enforced against the transportation company.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify the
carrier at once and insist on an inspection. This is absolutely
necessary! Aconcealed damage report must be made no later than
ten (10) days from the date the shipment was delivered. Unless
you do this, the carrier will not consider any claim for loss or
damage. The carrier’s agent will then make an inspection and grant
aconcealed damage notation. If you give the transportation
company aclear receipt for the goods that have been damaged or
lost in transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
All claims must be filed within 10 days of delivery date or
carrier will not accept them.
Sealer Sales is willing to assist in every possible
manner to collect claims for loss or damage; however, this does
not hold Sealer Sales responsible for collection on claims or
replacement of material.
Do not throw away damaged pallets or box until
freight inspection has occurred.

DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS OF
MODEL SS-1622HK SEALER
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of a SS-1622HK Sealer is for medium to
high volume packaging requiring excellent seals and minimal
maintenance. It features aHot Knife seal bar for sealing of
films. This model incorporates an electromagnetic hold-down
system, allowing the operator to load another package while the
preceding package is being sealed. This system provides
consistent seals through precision temperature control of seal
bars. In addition, a package take-away conveyor increases
production speed by automatically discharging product into the
tunnel.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION AND BASIC SET-UP
IMPORTANT
Read this manual carefully, and make it available to
everyone connected with the supervision, maintenance, or production
of this machine. Additional copies are available at your request.
(Contact your distributor for this information.) Be very careful when
operating, adjusting, or servicing this equipment. If in doubt, stop
and obtain qualified help before proceeding.
INSTALLATION OF SS-1622HK SEALER
Place the L-Bar Sealer in the desired location with
the required electrical power source available. (See
power requirements.) Make certain that proper electrical wiring is
provided to guard against low voltage. If the voltage is too
low, the equipment will not function properly.
Finding the proper location is a most important function
of the initial set-up. One must take several factors into
consideration:
1. Adequate power source.
2. Relationship to source of product.
3. Relationship to L’Sealer.
4. Relationship to any conveyors necessary to remove
finished product.
5. Convenience of operator.
An electrician should install a plug on the end of the main
power cord. If there is any doubt, get qualified assistance to do the
initial installation. Do not take any chances!

INSTALLATION
Do not attempt to install, adjust, or operate this machine
without first reading the contents of this manual. Although the
design of the equipment incorporates safeguards to protect operating
and maintenance personnel, care should be used in operating,
adjusting, and servicing.
INSTALLING FILM RACK
IMPORTANT: Remove film rack from under sealer and
install at the end of the sealer on the right hand side with the four
bolts an center knob provided. Mounting holes are slotted for
adjustment, set film rack flush with backside of the machine frame.

Sealer Sales Page 18
SS-1622HK Sealer Service Manual
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING FILM
Select the proper width of centerfold film for the item being
packaged, allowing for width and height of package. With the
package properly positioned within the film in the sealing area, allow
sufficient film to overlap the sealing bars so that a seal may readily
be made without any possibility of open areas due to insufficient film.
Place film roll on cradle mount film rack. The centerfold is to
be placed away from the operator, toward the rear of the machine.
Position film roll on rack and tighten film guide nuts to hold film roll
in position.
Thread film through the Pin Perforator. Note that the
perforator wheel turns freely and is not binding.

Sealer Sales Page 19
SS-1622HK Sealer Service Manual
INSTALLATION
Once threaded, separate film top from bottom and insert
product tray between. Make sure that the centerfold of film is placed
at the rear of the product tray. This allows the operator to insert
product between the layers of film on the product tray and to
prepare to move product and film into the sealing area. When
threading film, make sure to pull more than sufficient film through
the rollers, across the product tray, and into the sealing area to
ensure sufficient film to begin operation.
Place product against rear of film separator tray. Then move
product into seal area. Be sure to leave the bag loose around the
product when making the seal. This helps eliminate the seals from
blowing out in the shrink tunnel. This completes threading and/or
mounting film.
PIN PERFORATOR
Located between the lower idler rollers, the pin perforator
creates holes for air escape as the operator pulls on the film. This
allows the air to escape as the package travels through the tunnel.
The pin perforator is adjustable and must be properly placed in
conjunction with the width of the desired package. The positioning
should always be re-evaluated when setting the machine for different
