The Y151 Thermo-Seal is a machine for the temporary marking of garments
and other textile items.
In one cycle, labels for temporary marking are printed, cut and sealed onto the
garment or textile item. After washing or chemical cleaning, the labels can be
removed from the garment or textile item without leaving any label residue.
Temporary marking of a garment or textile item is achieved without the use of
chemical solvents or other harmful materials. By means of an Ink Ribbon
Cartridge, a code (maximum of twelve characters) is printed upon the
Thermo-Seal label tape (.25” or 6.3mm in width).
Most garments or textile items can be marked directly. For garments of very
sensitive fabric, there is an alternative method of fixing the temporary label to
the garment. An extra-long label tape or “flag” can be printed and attached to
the garment through the button hole of the garment. Thermo-Seal temporary
marking label tapes are available in ten different colors.
The Y151 Thermo-Seal machine operates electrically and pneumatically,
through use of compressed air. The code to be printed on the label tape is
entered through the machine keyboard. Raising the Press Arm engages the
pneumatic system to automatically cut and seal the label tape onto the garment
or textile item.
Time, temperature and other optional settings can be entered through the
machine keyboard. The time and temperature, as well as other information, can
be viewed from the Keyboard LCD Panel.
The new heater unit design, as well as electronics, ensures the consumer of
lower energy consumption and a safer work environment.

1.5 Safety Tips
The Y151 Thermo-Seal machine has been designed with optimum safety for the
machine operator in mind. However, we provide you with some instructions by
which you should operate this machine.
Always turn off and unplug the machine when doing maintenance or cleaning
the machine.
Ensure that there is sufficient space around the machine. Cables and
connections must not get jammed. Although the heat radiation of the Heater Unit
is low, there should be enough space for cooling down.
Do not come in direct contact with the Heating Unit, as contact will cause burns.

2.1 Transport Instructions
Upon receipt, your Y151 Thermo-Seal machine is packed in a cardboard
shipment container with laminated foam protection cradles for protection of your
machine during shipment. Retain original packaging in case the machine
should need to be serviced at a later time. Please let the machine cool down
before packing the machine in the shipment container.
2.2 Installing the Machine
Take the Y151 Thermo-Seal out of the shipment container and put the machine
on a worktable near a grounded socket. Ensure that there is sufficient free space
around the machine.
2.3 Electrical Requirements
The Y151 Thermo-Seal should be connected to the electricity grid (230V or
115V alternating current). Use the Line Power Cord provided with the machine.
Electrical Specifications: 115 volts (50/60 HZ) Single Phase; 230 volts (50 HZ)
Single Phase. All 230v machines use two 250v – 3.15 amp fuses. All 115v
machines use two 250v – 6.3 amp fuses.
The picture to the left shows the Y151
Thermo-Seal set for 230v operation.
2.4 Pneumatic Requirements
The Y151 Thermo-Seal machine also requires a clean dry air supply to
operate the Press Arm Sealing Cylinder and the Dynamic Knife Cylinder. The line
pressure coming into the Y151 Thermo-Seal Air Filter Pressure Regulator should
be a minimum of 70 P.S.I. or 5 Bars. This is not the final pressure setting for
the Air Filter Pressure Regulator on the Y151 Thermo-Seal machine.
To confirm that the machine air pressure is correct, check the gauge located on
the front of the filter. The gauge should register 60 P.S.I. (Imperial
measurement) or 4 Bars (metric measurement).
2. Installation

13
1. Connect a clean dry air supply to the Air Filter Pressure Regulator.
2. Connect the Air Filter Pressure Regulator by screwing the component onto the
threaded elbow, positioning the gauge so it can be read.
3. Connect the Air Hose by pushing receptacle firmly onto Air Inlet Fitting. Make
sure air line is connected securely and the air gauge is working.
4. To adjust air pressure setting, pull up the knob on top of the Air Filter Pressure
Regulator to unlock the adjustment knob.
5. Slowly turn the knob clockwise to increase air pressure or counter-clockwise to
decrease air pressure until the gauge registers 60 P.S.I. or 4 bars.
6. Push down on the knob to lock the current setting in place.
CAUTION! The maximum machine operating pressure is 100 P.S.I. or 7 Bars. The
Y151 Thermo-Seal machine comes pre-set at 60 P.S.I. or 4 Bars.
2.5 Label Tape Storage Rack Installation
The Y151 Thermo-Seal machine comes complete with a Label Tape Storage
Rack and six Label Tape Cassettes. The rack can hold a maximum capacity of
eight Label Tape Cassettes.
Attachment of the Label Tape Storage Rack requires the use of a 4mm L-Hex Key
provided. The Label Tape Storage Rack is attached to the Y151 Thermo-Seal
machine chassis with the two M6 x 1.0 x 40mm long screws provided. Insert the
screws through the clearance holes in the Label Tape Storage Rack engaging the
threaded inserts in the machine chassis. Use the 4mm L-Hex Key to tighten the
screws.
Slide the Label Cassettes (6) over the
square center post of the Label Tape
Storage Rack. Correct position of the
Label Tape Cassettes is with the hinge
portion of the cassette towards the
back and the slotted opening towards
the front.

section using scissors and re-insert the label marking tape into machine.
1. Switch the Power Entry Module Switch
“ON.”
2. Place the Label Marking Tape into a
Label Tape Cassette and place the Cassette
onto the Label Tape Cassette Storage Rack.
3. Pull out approximately 12” or 30cm of
tape from the Label Tape Cassette.
4. Insert the Label Marking Tape into the
Tape Feed Guide entrance, making sure the
adhesive (shiny) side faces the front of the

Temporary, removable marking is used by laundries, hospitals, hotels, textile
suppliers, textile care companies and various other industries. The Y151
Thermo-Seal Machine is designed to be used for temporary marking of
garments and textile items.
Almost all garments or textile items can be marked directly or indirectly.
Because of the variety of fabrics, it is very important to follow some
instructions on textile care.
The default operating temperature of the Y151 Thermo-Seal machine is
176°C or 349°F. Materials that are sensitive to heat cannot be marked directly.
The mark on garment labels “Only wash/iron at low temperature” can also
indicate that the colors are sensitive to high temperatures or that the heating of
the finish on the fabric can cause the color to change.
If you are not sure about the sensitivity of the fabric, please mark the
garment or textile item indirectly. If there is no possibility for indirect
marking, the garment or textile item must be washed in a washing net that has
been marked. Be very careful when you want to mark articles that must be
cleaned chemically. The message “Only Dry Cleaning” normally means that the
garment or textile item is sensitive to heat, pressure and detergents.
5.1 Sealing Label Tags and Organization
There are ten different colors of Label Marking Tape for organizing and sorting
purposes. The colored tapes can be used for both the entire operations for a
customer and for the different lots.
One of the more popular systems is the Bundle Lot System. Garments from
multiple customers or sources can be mixed while washing but easily sorted.
Typical labels for a Bundle Lot System are as follows:
1. A01-05 2. 3A01-05
A= Week number Same as the left
01= Lot number in that week except 3= Number
05= Customer bundle number of pieces in the order
The tape color is changed at the end of each lot. The lot number is advanced by
1 and the bundle number is reset to 1. The colors are always used in the same
sequence.
