How to Operate the Machine (BEL 252)

To start the machine, push the Start switch located on top of the machine arch. For normal operation, be sure the Snap Folder switch is in the ‘Auto’ position.

Push the case toward the conveyor until it grips the case and takes it into the folding and taping sections. The Snap Folders will automatically fold down the top flaps before tape is applied to the top and bottom of the case.

The standard Snap Folders can only automatically fold the top flaps of cases up to 22” (559mm) long. For case lengths longer than 22” (559mm), switch the Snap Folders to 'Manual' mode using the selector switch on the pushbutton station. This mode will lock the folders in the extended position. Fold down the top flaps of the long cases by hand and feed the case into the sealer section for taping in manual mode.
