3.1 Start of Production
Preparation
1. Check that there is enough sealing material and
double-sided tape (for the splicer option) on hand
for the day’s production.
2. Have scissors on hand to prepare the sealing
material.
3. Check that all protective covers are in place.
Close all moving covers and doors. Chuck

5. Follow the settings list to set the correct format/
change parts, such as former, side guides, crimp-
er unit and so on, for the product being packaged.
6. Switch on the compressed air.
7. Release the emergency stop(s).
Set Up Production
3.4 Troubleshooting
If the wrapper is not operating properly, consult the
following problem descriptions, their associated
causes), and solutions. If you are having a problem
that is not listed here, contact Bosch for additional
information and/or service.
Problem: Product jams in the forming area and/or the cutting head.
Possible Cause Solution
The product is moving slower than the film — the
infeed pitch is shorter than the product length Enter the correct infeed pitch and package length values.
Problem: The product not placed consistently inside package — it wanders or drifts inside package.
Possible Cause Solution
The film is moving faster than the product when Enter a larger infeed pitch value and/or a smaller package
they enter the former — the infeed pitch is shorter length value.
than the package length
Problem: Cutoff fails to remain constant when running registered sealing material.
Possible Cause Solution
Electric eye not operating properly. Check registration eye setup and operation.
Registration marks on the material not printed cor- Check the material for proper spacing between the registra-
rectly. tion marks. Replace the sealing material if necessary.
Material is slipping in the finwheels. Check finwheel gap setting.
Problem: The serrations on the finwheels are cutting through the film.
Possible Cause Solution
The finwheels are pressed together too tight Increase the gap between the finwheels.
Problem: The serrations on the crimpers are cutting through the film.
Possible Cause Solution
There is not enough clearance between the crimp- Increase the clearance between the crimpers.

The crimper sealing pressure is too high Decrease the crimper sealing pressure.
The endseal temperature is set too high Decrease the endsel temperature setting
The endseal crimpers are not properly aligned Refer to endseal section
3.5 Changeover
Review and adjust these items when changing product
Former
sizes. Refer to the measurements on the changeover
data sheets that are sent with the machine.
Product Guides
Infeed
Adjust the product guides so that there is a ± 2mm
gap between the product and each guide. Make sure
the guides remain centered on the chain.
Backstand
Chuck
Balance Arm
Centering Knob
When threading the film:
1. Push the balance arm toward the center of the
backstand until it locks into the down position.
2. Thread the film according to the diagram.
3. Pull out on the release rod to release the bal-
ance arm.

Explanation
The following is a list of messages that can be dis-
played on the HMI. Some of these messages are only
displayed if certain options are installed. Whenever
the wrapper is turned ON, the Main Screen appears
and displays any existing conditions, some of which
will prevent the wrapper from running. The wrapper
cannot be started until these conditions are cleared.
Messages
The following messages are displayed when there is
a condition present such as an open guard. Messages
concerning options will not appear unless the machine
is equipped with the option.

Crimper Clearance
The upper shaft can be raised or lowered Clearance
to change the clearance between the Adjustment
upper and lower crimpers. It should be
positioned so it achieves a good seal and
cutoff with the least amount of contact
with the lower crimper. If the crimpers are
too close together, the material will tear;
if they are too far apart, they will not seal
properly. The spacing required between
the crimpers will depend on the thickness
of the sealing material.
Sealing Pressure
The upper endseal shaft is spring loaded
to apply pressure to the sealing material.
These springs also allow the upper
crimper to give slightly if they happen to

CAUTION
NEVER use compressed air to clean
the machine. Always use a vacuum
cleaner or a brush. Dust could
be stuck in bearings or in gears,
increasing the risk of premature
wear.
6.2 Cleaning
WARNING
CAUTION
When cleaning, use a brass brush
only. A steel brush is too abrasive
and can cause damage. Be very
careful to avoid damaging the wires
going to the heat elements.

This precaution must be taken to
avoid the possibility of a serious
shock hazard, or an accidental
cycling of the wrapper which could
cause a very serious injury. It is
recommended the air supply also
be disconnected before starting.
