1. Preface

Thanks for Choosing VFJ-520 vertical packing machinery. Please read this
instruction thoroughly in order to get a better understanding of operation and
maintenance. We also provide professional after-sale service in case you need.
The sell point of our VFJ-520 is easy operation, high efficiency, safety and stability.
Some of the functions are different from the counting and filling device so this
instruction only describes basic functions.
VFJ-520 is auto feeding, counting, forming bags, filling sealing, printing and
carrying away.
If any problem occurs, please read the book to find a solution or contact with our
after-sale service to better solve the problem.
Every single part of the electricity had been checked but if you have any trouble
installing the machine, please contact us.
Operating according to the instruction will make it easier during the production and
avoid unpredictable situation.
Operate in safe production environment.

according to the power and a PF power.
3). The machine must connect to the ground wire. (there is a mark on the machine
frame)
4). Connect air pipe to pnuematic FRL behind the machine.
5). Install date printing code and ink ribbon
6). Turn on the power and set horizontal and vertical sealing bar and date printer to

4.6 Color code sensor detecting and adjusting

Optical fiber color code sensor detection sensor combines optical technology,
photoelectronic technique and modem technology. It has high sensitivity, fast
response speed, good anti-bias light interference capacity, small volume and easy
operation strength. Working as a sensor in the packing machine operating system,
color code sensor is making the code detection and location, bag length cutting, film
rectifying easier. However, as customer’s film is different from our testing film, the
color code may not be catch. So its secsitivity will be need to set.
1). Loose the bolt of the sensor, move the sensor, the optical fiber bolt movement
decide the point of the light, the smaller the better. Aim the light to the middle of the
code (which is on the edge and are revert to the background color), then tight the
bolt(as the picture).

-9-
 Pic.4-6 Adjustment the color code position

2). After doing 1, press the ON bottom at the sensor amplifier while the red and the
green light will on.
3). Then point the light to the background color which is normally brighter than the
color code, press OFF while only green light on.
4). Testing of the color code. Pull the film using your hand, see if it is red and green
light on when the light point at the color code(see if it is only green light on when the
light point at background color.), if not, pls set again according to step 2 and 3.
5). When setting bag length, bag should be X+20mm.

7. Maintaining
7.1 Wearing part replacement
1). If the carry film belt wear out, pls loose M6 bolt on the top, replace the belt and
tight the bolt again.
2). Replace the cutter, loose two M5 bolt and take out the cutter in the cutter groove
(mind the heat if the jaw was heating), replace it and tight the bolt. Also install the
cutter according to the division.
3). When run out of ribbon, take out the rest of the wheel from the wheel groove
and replace with new ribbon. (pls review the code printer install and using instruction)

7.2 Maintaining
1). On the first running, pls make sure all the bolts are tight, and check form time to
time. If there is any abnormal noise, pls stop the machine immediately. Pls keep the
machine running for 2-3 min after installation or before working.
2). Check the FRL oil tank, and keep the oil more than 1/3. If oil needed to be
added, pls use 20# pure engine oil
3). Keep the eyemark sensor clean and keep the electric part from moisture.
4). Tighten the bolt of the sealing (if there is any bolt is loose) after stop using the
machine.
5). Before running the machine, pls add the oil cup full with 20# engine oil.
6). Take out the roll film to prevent it bend the roller.
7). When running, if broke bag situation happen, pls use emergency stop, and use
cooper brush to clean the sealing jaw.
8). First change of engine oil of the gear box is 40 hours using. Thereafter, per 1000
hour using should change once.
9). If the machine haven’t been used for a long time, pls keep the machine running
testing mode for 0.5-1 hour, every 5-6 day once.

The ribbon coder is applicable to vertical intermittent packing machines like bag
filling sealing machine, granule packing machine, liquid packing machine and

- 31 -
labeling machine to print production date, lot number, price and weight on any soft
packaging material such as plastic film, PP, OPP, paper bags, label, leather and so on.
It adopts high precision cylinder, the print speed synchronous with packing speed, and
the coding results accurate and efficient.
It adopts thermal printing ribbon and the out print characters are clear and endurable.
With compact size, easy operation, repair and maintenance, it is widely used in the
industries of foodstuff, beverage, and pharmaceuticals etc.

obtained and then adjust it to the optimal scale. When the temperature reaches highest
point, the constant temp. lamp lightens green.

4) How to Install and Replace Character Types

Slightly push inwards print head handled, at the same time, turn it by 90-180 ℃ ,
Undo hook head and pull out print head, and unscrew the brass character locknut on
print head to replace characters types. The types should be arranged at the same height
without deflection. Never use a metal rod to knock the types, as it may damage them.
(As shown in the diagram)

5) How to Install and Replace Ribbon

Unscrew (not screw out) the ribbon replacing nut on ribbon feeding roller, take off
active organic glass baffle, mount on thermal printing ribbon and active baffle. The
baffle should be close to the side of thermal printing ribbon. Wind the ribbon in the
way indicated in the diagram below. Unscrew the ribbon replacing nut on ribbon
callback roller, take off active baffle, mount on hollow paper cylinder (the remains of
used-up paper cylinder), glue the ribbon tip onto the hollow paper cylinder with
sticker in the same direction as indicated in the diagram, mount on active baffle, then
screw in the ribbon replacing nut.

6) How to Adjust Ribbon Width
Adjust the axial position of ribbon retainer, but no need to adjust the inside retainer,
to make the distance between the two retainers 1mm wider than ribbon width.

7) How to Adjust the Resistance of Ribbon Feeding

Ribbon should be kept not to be loosened (moderately tightened at least) when
coding machine is running a printing program. Try to minimize the resistance of
ribbon feeding, but not too low, as thermal printing ribbon must be assured of enough
tension after printing so that it will not be stuck to the material printed, or run crooked
when ribbon is moving.

8) How to Adjust the Stroke of Connecting Rod

Adjust the stroke of connection rod according to the thickness of the materials to be
printed on. Make sure that printer head is able to closely press upon the materials
when at the lowest position, 1-2mm lower than the highest point of the materials to
ensure clear printing. Over high pressure will result in ribbon and material broken,
and unclear printing; ultralow pressure also will cause unclear printing.

9) How to Adjust the Stroke of Ribbon Feeding

Adjust the space adjusting screw for ribbon feeding stroke up and down to alter the
ongoing space of ribbon, upward for less space, and downward for larger. The space
between rows should better be kept at 1mm, thus to save the ribbon.

12) General Maintenance

To avoid the printing ribbon to be sticky or slip and effect the clarity of printed
characters, please use the absolute alcohol clean the surface of rubber pressure roller,
pressure roller and the belt guiding pole regularly. Keep lubricated between slider and
draw runner, lubricate with grease once very week.
