Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be followed to ensure the longevity of your KS-FS foot
sealer.
Inspection and Cleaning
1. Inspect your machine daily.
2. Use a clean cloth to remove any plastic residue remaining on the PTFE cloth.
3. When replacing the elements, always check the condition of the bottom PTFE tape.
4. Check the condition of the silicone rubber for wear and burns. A damaged silicone rubber will
affect the quality of the seal.
Replacement Kit Instructions
Our KS-FS impulse sealers will require new heating elements and PTFE from time to time. Heating
elements will break through wear and tear. A good rule of thumb is to replace the PTFE adhesive every time
you change your heating element. The PTFE cover prevents the plastic or other thermoplastic material you
are sealing from sticking to the heating element.
Replacement kits are available from your distributor. Kits include (2) heating elements, (2) PTFE adhesives,
and 1ft long roll of PTFE cover. For replacement kit part #s, refer to your model #.
