- Calibrate the Fill Volume: Adjust settings on the control panel to ensure consistent fill levels.
- Examine the Sealing Jaws: Make sure the sealing jaws are clean and properly aligned to prevent leaking packages.
- Check Sealing Temperature: Verify that the sealing temperature is correctly set for the packaging material.
- Inspect Packaging Material: Ensure the material is suitable and not damaged to prevent leaks.
- Clear Blockages: Remove any obstructions in the conveyor system to address machine jamming.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: Ensure all moving parts are well-lubricated to prevent jams.
- Align the Conveyor: Check and adjust the alignment of the conveyor to ensure smooth operation.
- Clean the Sensors: Dirt and residue can interfere with sensor function, so keep them clean.
