1. General descripon
The Y-151 Thermo-Seal ™ is a machine for the temporary marking of garments and other texle items.
Temporary marking of a garment or texle item is achieved without the use of chemical solvents or other
harmful materials. By means of an ink ribbon cartridge, a code (maximum of 12 characters per label) is
printed directly onto the Thermo-Seal label tape, and it is sealed directly onto the garment or texle item.
Most garments or texle items can be marked directly.
For garments over very sensive fabric, there are alternave methods of fixing the temporary label to the
garment. The most common opon is to print an extra-long label.
The extra-long label is inserted through the buon hole of the garment, and then the ends are sealed
together. Another opon is to seal directly onto a “flag tag”. The flag tag is then stapled or pinned onto the
garment.
The Thermo-Seal label type is specifically designed to adhere to the garment or other texle item through
the cleaning process and then be easily removed without leaving any label residue on the garment.
Thermo-Seal label tape is available in ten dierent colors.
The colors of the Thermo-Seal label tape, and the printed code on the label, oer a variety of ways to sort
garments.
The Y-151 Thermo-Seal ™ machine operates electrically and pneumacally, 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 pneumac system to automacally cut and seal the label tape onto the garment or
texle item.
Time, temperature, and other oponal seings can be entered through the machine keyboard.
The me and temperature, as well as other informaon, can be viewed from the Keyboard LCD Panel.
The new heater unit design, as well as electronics, ensures the consumer of lower energy consumpon
and a safer work environment.
