Introduction
CBS-880 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 CBS-880 band sealer will significantly increase efficiency of packaging your products.
There are two configurations for the CBS-880 band sealer. The horizontal configuration (CBS-880I) is primarily used for sealing dry materials and when you can lay flat your pouch. The vertical configuration (CBS-880II) 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.

How Does the CBS-880 Work?
CBS-880 is comprised of a stainless steel frame, speed adjusting mechanism, sealing temperature control system and transmission system. Turning on the heat for the band sealer will cause a rapid rise in the temperature of the heating blocks. Required temperature and speed can be adjusted via the temperature controller and speed adjusting device. Plastic material to be sealed is placed on the guide and conveyor. Conveyor will then take the material between the two heating blocks to fuse the material together. Material will then pass through the cooling blocks to allow the material to congeal. Finally, material will then pass through the embossing wheel for a meshed seal line.
CBS-880 is easy to use. To seal, adjust temperature and place bag on conveyor
The motor drives the sealing belts, drive belts and conveyor simultaneously.

Operating Your Band Sealer
Initial Set-up
To prevent damage to the band sealer, the band sealer body and conveyor are shipped disconnected. Please follow these simple steps to connect the drive shaft (Figure 34, Item #17) on the band sealer body with the conveyor middle post (Figure 40, Items #5, 14-18) on the band sealer conveyor.
- Loosen the knobs for the conveyor table to move the conveyor table forward.
Figure 5. Two flower shaped knobs are found under conveyor.
- Loosen the screw on the drive shaft and insert the conveyor middle post (found on the conveyor table) to the drive shaft. Be sure the groove on the conveyor middle post lines up along the screw on the drive shaft. Move the conveyor belt as needed to allow the conveyor middle post to meet with the drive shaft. Once the conveyor middle post is in place, tighten the screw on the drive shaft to lock the conveyor middle post in place.
Figure 6. Insert the conveyor middle post in drive shaft. Make sure grooves are aligned.

Installing the Embossing Wheel (Optional Feature)
CBS-880 can be equipped with an optional embossing function. The embossing coder will continually emboss characters directly on your bag. The coder uses pressure and does not use ink to print. The CBS- 880 embossing wheel is equipped for 1-line embossing with 15 characters. There are three sections so three sets of characters are needed. Optional feature: 2-line embossing which can be purchased separately.
- Place the key in the groove of the embossing wheel plate and turn counter clockwise to loosen the print wheel plate. (Figure 12) Remove the embossing wheel plate, as well as the o-ring (Figure 13)
- 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.
- Unscrew and remove the pattern knurled wheel on the sealer. Replace with the embossing wheel by lifting the embossing wheel seat and pushing the embossing wheel in place. Please note: remove safety cover before accessing the embossing wheel.

Sealing & Printing Optimization
- Sealing performance can be adjusted with the sealing temperature and sealing speed. The higher the speed the less exposure the material and therefore a higher temperature will be required to seal the material.
- Try a variety of different sealing temperatures and conveyor speeds to get the optimal seal for your material.
- Make adjustments to the pressing wheel with the pressure knob (Figure 34 , Item #7) to ensure a good quality seal as well as a clear and visible embossed image.

Quick start
- Connect the conveyor middle post to the drive shaft with the grooves aligned, tighten the drive shaft screw, round nut and conveyor knobs.
- Plug the grounded plug into a 120V outlet (a surge protector is suggested) and set the circuit breaker to on.
- On first use, pre-heat at a low temperature for a few minutes to dry any moisture.
- Adjust conveyor position, sealing height (vertical) and the guide for seal position.
- Turn on Power, Heater and Fan, set the conveyor speed, then press SET on the controller to enter the temperature and press SET again to save.
- Wait 5–10 minutes for PV to match SV, adjust the pressure knob for bag thickness, and feed the bag flat on the guide without pushing or pulling.
- To shut down, turn off the heater first and let the machine cool before turning off power and fan.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Sealing belt runs off the guide wheels | Driven wheel seat needs adjustment. | Adjust the screws on the driven wheel seat (adjusting block). Page 17 |
| Irregular seals | Material pushed or pulled while passing through the sealer. | Lay the material flat on the guide and let the sealer pull it through. Page 17 |
| Weak or poor seal | Temperature, speed or pressure not matched to the material; higher speed needs higher temperature. | Try different temperature and speed combinations and adjust the pressure knob. Page 19 |
| Burn marks on sealing belts, or belts hard and brittle | Sealing belts are worn consumables. | Turn off the machine, remove the safety cover and drive belts, push the adjustment blocks to slip off the sealing belts and fit new ones. Page 25 |
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the CBS-880I and CBS-880II?
The 880I is horizontal, for dry materials and flat pouches. The 880II is vertical, for powders, grains, coffee, liquids and stand-up pouches. See page 9.
How fast does it seal?
The conveyor runs at 0–472 inches per minute, with an 8mm seal width (15mm optional). See page 10.
What temperature should I set?
It depends on bag material and thickness. Start low and increase gradually until the bag seals. See page 16.
Can it print dates or codes on bags?
Yes, with the optional embossing wheel: 1 line of 15 characters in three sections, by pressure with no ink. 2-line embossing is optional. See page 18.
What routine maintenance is needed?
Inspect daily and wipe with silicone spray on a cloth (never water); oil the turbocase monthly with 50g of 20# oil; replace the motor brush at regular intervals. See page 25.
