Model 7112 Flock Feed Heat
Sealer
The 7112 FF Sealer has been designed to automate the feeding of labels, flocks and
stackable embroideries. Precision and versatility have been the keynotes of its
design.
Precision in that each item can be repeatedly fed to 1/32 of an inch in position.
Versatility in that the system can feed one item at a time or two at once. This
provides the means by with a garment that needs two labels can be labeled with one
stroke of the press. Thus providing twice the production capability for the cycle
time.
A further option that is available is the reciprocal base system, which will
automatically position garment items under the press head. This feature makes it
possible to load and unload garments prior to actual sealing.
The installation is covered in the following section.

Installation
Your Electro-Sealer can be mounted on a table or stand of your choice, either by
bolting through the same holes as used to attach the shipping base, or be attaching
the shipping base itself to the table.
A MINIMUM OF 80 PSI OF AIR is required to operate the machine. This should be
attached to the 1/4 NPT inlet of the air filter at the rear of the machine cabinet. The
air gauge at the rear of the cabinet should show 80 PSI; if not, the line pressure is not
correct.
The vacuum pump with which your Electro-Sealer is equipped is shipped in a
separate container, complete with hose and fitting. Attach and tighten the hose to its
fitting, which is located under the rear corner of the machine cabinet. The pump is
turned on by a switch located on its power cord.
Model number, serial number, and ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS are listed on a
plate attached to the side of the cabinet at the rear.
Prior to shipment, the machine has been completely checked out in actual operation,
including an accurate mechanical leveling of the base in relation to the electrodes.
Heat, dwell time, and pressure are the basic fundamentals that determine the results
obtainable on a thermo-plastic sealing application, such as Electro-Seal labeling. It
is impossible with the variety of fabric materials and constructions, as well as design
of garments, to establish any one setting that will give the most desirable results
under all circumstances, but settings will be suggested upon request and submission
of an application description.

General Description
Main Switch
This turns the machine on and off.
Hold Switch
This switch locks out the timer; the head will come down but the timer will not work.
The head stays down as long as the foot pedal is depressed. THIS IS A
MAINTENANCE FUNCTION used when changing electrodes to insure that they
are well seated and parallel to the base when tightened.
Auto Switch
Turning this switch to the "on" position will activate the feed system, transporting a
label from the hopper to underneath the electrode, ready for sealing.
Timer
The dwell time can be set by turning the pointer in the center of the dial face to the
desired time.
Air Pressure Gauge/Regulator
Adjustment of air pressure is accomplished by turning the knob under the air
pressure gauge. To raise the pressure, turn the knob clockwise; to lower, turn it
counter-clockwise. When lowering the pressure, allow the needle on the gauge to
drop below the desired pressure, then raise it back to that pressure. The reason for
this is that there is a lag when bleeding air out of the system.
Heat Controls
Electrode and plate head can be set independently. The correct temperature will be
indicated on the control's face. If the control fails to reach this, refer to the heat
control pages provided.
Foot Switch
Depression of the foot switch starts the unit cycling for the time indicated on the
cycle timer. The foot switch should be kept in the depressed state until the press
cycles out and the seal is completed. As the press starts to rise, the food pedal can be
released, allowing the machine to re-set automatically, feeding a label from the
hopper to the electrode, ready for sealing. Removal of pressure from the foot switch
at any time after the start will immediately break the cycle and return the press to
neutral.

Basic Sealing
Heat, dwell time, and pressure are the basic fundamentals that determine the results
obtainable on a thermo-plastic sealing application, such as Electro-Seal labeling. It
is impossible with the variety of fabric materials and constructions, as well as design
of garments, to establish any one setting that will give the most desirable results
under all circumstances. ON THE BASIS OF EXTENSIVE SUCCESSFUL
LAUNDRY TESTS, ON AVERAGE WEIGHT GOODS INVOLVING BOTH
WOVEN AND KNIT MATERIALS, WE WOULD SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING
STARTING POINTS FOR A NEW ELECTRO-SEAL USER.
An air pressure setting of 60 pounds (30 pounds for thin, delicate knitwear) which is
determined by the air control knob and indicated by the gauge above it on the left
side of the machine. A cycle time of 1 1/2 - 2 seconds for average weight fabrics and
labels has proven adequate for laundry proof attachment. On heavier goods and/or
large heavy weight labels, longer times may be required.
Setting the plate heat at 375ºF has proven to be a good starting point. On heavy
weight denims, it may be necessary to increase this to 400ºF. Setting the electrode
heat will depend on the type of adhesive being used.
Remember…these are only basics, and these settings can vary. Seal a label to a
sample. As your Electro-Sealer times out and releases itself, immediately remove
the fabric and lift the corner of the label. If the adhesive has stuck to both the fabric
and the label, the sealing can be judged successful. If all the adhesive is on the fabric
and none on the label, decrease the plate heat or cut back the time. Adhesives tend to
flow toward the heat.
If the adhesive has not transferred to the fabric, you have three adjustments that can
be made:
A. Increase the plate heat
B. Decrease the electrode heat; thermoplastics tend to flow towards higher
heat when melting.
C. Increase the cycle time to allow complete melting.
If the adhesive has all transferred to the fabric with none left on the label, you may:
A. Reduce the plate heat
B. Decrease the cycle time
You must judge for yourself, depending on the fabric's sensitivity to heat and time,
which of the adjustments will be best.

Operation
To put your Electro-Sealer into operation, turn on the main switch. Set the plate and
electrode heat controls to the desired temperature. Turn on the vacuum pump by
using the switch located on the power cord for the pump.
Turn on the auto switch. This will cause the vacuum arm to pull a label from the
hopper and move it into position until the operator depresses the foot pedal, sealing
the label onto the garment. The pedal must be held down until the press cycles out
and the seal is completed. As the press starts to rise from the garment, the foot pedal
can be released, which resets the vacuum arm to feed another label. In doing this,
the machine automatically feeds another label while the operator is removing the
garment and inserting another.
When the label has been fed into position for sealing, it is important that the label is
totally under the electrode so that the pressure is exerted on the adhesive coated
label.
The position of the vacuum arm is always the same and so to change the position of
the label relative to the electrode, you must change the position where the hopper
places the label on the vacuum arm. To move the label left or right, the hopper is
moved by loosening the lower hopper bracket, shifting the hopper in the direction
desired, then tightening the bracket in position.

7112 Series Flock Feed
Regular Maintenance
1. Remove accumulated moisture form the air filter by opening the bleed
valve located at the base of the filter bowl.
2. To check the sealing area for an out of parallel condition: with the heat
on, set the timer for one (1) second or less; place a light colored cloth
or paper on the base plate; put a piece of carbon paper, carbon down on
the cloth, and run the machine through a cycle. The carbon paper will
leave a picture of the sealing area on the cloth. THE COLOR
SHOULD BE EVEN. A dark area indicates more pressure in that area
and should be corrected.
If the out of level condition is either in the front or back, the base plate
can be tilted. Loosen the bolt to lower the front and raise the back.
Tighten to raise the front, lower the back.
If it is side to side, it must be corrected with shims placed under the
base plate insulator block.
Light or dark spots within the sealing area will indicate that either of
the plates may be warped. This would require surface grinding by a
machine shop. (Make certain that the vacuum arm does not extend
lower than the electrode.)
3. Lubricate the head assembly guide pin monthly with white grease.
4. Lubricate the feed arm shaft and rack with light oil, a FEW drops
weekly.
5. The Teflon® composition covers on the electrode and base plate must
be changed as frequency of use dictates. They provide a non-stick
surface, which can be wiped clean with a cloth.
6. Check the vacuum filters monthly and clean or replace as required.
