using this unit. Your safety is most important! Failure to comply with procedures may result in serious injury or
property damage. Remember: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
Unsafe practices or unauthorized modifications could result in accidents or property damage. Failure to ffollow these safety rules
and take necessary precautions can result in serious injury as well as damage to equipment.
Never operate or service your band sealer until you have read this manual completely and understand it fully.
Plug the band sealer into a standard 120 Volt, 60Hz wall outlet or surge protector.
Reduce risk of unintentional starting. Make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position before attaching to the
power source.
Always disconnect sealer from power source before servicing, changing accessories or cleaning the unit.
To provide protection
tection against the risk of electrical shock
shock, the power connection must be properly grounded at all times.
Do not leave the sealer unattended when in use. Disconnect the sealer from the power source before leaving the work
area.
Band sealer is used solely for sealing thermoplastic materials. Using the machine for any other purpose can cause
damage to the machine and operator. Do NOT use the machine for any other purpose other than to seal
thermoplastic materials.

While machine is operating do not touch the heating and/or cooling blocks. Blocks will be extremely hot and may
burn your hands.
While machine is operating, do not place fingers, tools, or other foreign objects on or into the machine.
Do not touch any moving parts while machine is operating. Fingers may get caught in between the gears and cause
significant injury.
Thermoplastic bags and material are hand fed into the machine. Place bag on the guide and carefully feed the bag
through the band sealer. Fingers may be placed on the guide but do not allow fingers to touch any of the moving parts
on the band sealer.
Use emergency stop to turn off machine should material/bags get jammed into the machine. Carefully pull material
out of the band sealer. Do NOT use fingers to touch any part of the machine.
The band sealer is not water resistant or water proof. Spraying down the machine will damage machine or cause
electrical shock. Do not submerge the band sealer into water or liquid.

Introduction
FR-770 is equipped with an electronic temperature controller and variable speed conveyor to seal all types of
thermoplastic materials (PP, PE, stand up pouches, gusseted bags, moisture barrier bags, etc.). Seals are created using
PTFE bands which maintain high seal quality and produce consistently strong, clean seals on all heat sealable bags.
Because bags are placed on a conveyor system, the width of the bag does not matter. These versatile machines offer
several adjustments which allow them to be used for a wide range of applications. These machines are used
extensively in the food/produce, medical, chemical, cosmetic, and electronic industries. The FR-770 band sealer will
significantly increase efficiency of packaging your products.
There are two configurations for the FR-770 band sealer. The horizontal configuration (FR-770I) is primarily used
for sealing dry materials and when you can lay flat your pouch. The vertical configuration (FR-770II) typically seals
small solid products (ex: powders, grains, coffee) and liquids. In addition, sealing using the vertical configuration also
works best with stand up pouches.

Operation Set-up
1. Our machines are equipped with a three-prong
three prong grounded plug. Make sure the plug is well
well-connected in the
socket to ensure safe operation.
4. For some materials, an adjustment to the clearance between the upper heating block and bottom heating
block and upper cooling block and bottom cooling block may be necessary. Adjust the clearance between by
turning the stopping
ng flake clockwise (increase distance) to raise the block our counterclockwise to lower the
block (decrease distance). The clearance should be equal to the thickness of one layer of your material to be
packaged. This will ensure high seal quality and embossing.
emb Please note that the majority of materials
sealed will NOT need adjustments.

Operation
1. Turn Power, Heater, and Fan switches to the “On” position. Belts and conveyor will begin to move
simultaneously.
3. Adjust the temperature controller to the temperature desired to seal your material. Temperature settings will
vary based on bag material and thickness. If you are unsure what temperature setting to use, use we recommend
starting at a low temperature and gradually increase to a temperature that will seal your material. The PV
value (red light) is the actual temperature
emperature and the SV value (green light) is the desired temperature
tem setting.
b. Press the <AT (auto tuning) button to move from the ones, tens, and hundreds place. Adjust the
value using the up and down arrows.
c. Press the SET button to save the temperature settings. Your desired temperature settings should
appear in green in the SV Value.

7. Emergency Stop – Press the emergency stop to turn off the machine. In order to restart the machine, you
must release the emergency stop by turning the knob 120˚ clockwise.
8. To shut down, turn off the heater switch and allow the temperature of the machine to drop before tturning
off the power and fan switches. Following the shut down procedure will significantly prolong the life
of machine and sealing belts.

1. Place the key in the groove of the embossing wheel plate and turn counter clockwise to loosen the print
wheel plate. (Figure 13) Remove the embossing wheel plate, as well as the o-ring (Figure 14)
Figure 13 Figure 14
2. Carefully install your typesets in each of the three cavities. Once all cavities are filled, place the o-ring and
print wheel plate back in place. Using the key, carefully turn clockwise to lock wheel plate. Make sure none
of the typesets are pushed out of the cavity by holding the typesets in place as you turn the key.

Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be followed to ensure the longevity of your FR-770 band sealer.
2. Check if there is any foreign matter or dirt adhering to the band sealer.
3. To clean your band sealer, wipe down your sealer with silicone spray and a shop cloth. Do not apply silicone
directly to your sealer. Definitely DO NOT wash down your machine with water.
2. To change out the belts, make sure the machine is turned off.
5. To remove the sealing belts, push on the adjustment blocks (Figure 18, Item #3) and the sealing belts
should easily slip off.
6. Put new sealing and/or drive belts back on the machine. Test the machine, making adjustments as
necessary.
