General description The Y151 Thermo-Seal is a machine for the temporary marking of garments and other textile items. Temporary marking of a garment or textile item is achieved without the use of chemical solvents or other harmful materials. By means of an ink ribbon cartridge, a code (maximum of 12 characters per label) is printed directly onto the Thermo-Seal label tape, and it is sealed directly onto the garment or textile item. Most garments or textile items can be marked directly. For garments over very sensitive fabric, there are alternative methods of fixing the temporary label to the garment. The most common option is to print an extra-long label. The extra-long label is inserted through the button hole of the garment, and then the ends are sealed together. Another option is to seal directly onto a “flag tag”. The flag tag is then stapled or pinned onto the garment. The Thermo-Seal label type is specifically designed to adhere to the garment or other textile item through the cleaning process and then be easily removed without leaving any label residue on the garment. Thermo-Seal label tape is available in ten different colors. The colors of the Thermo-Seal label tape, and the printed code on the label, offer a variety of ways to sort garments. The Y151 Thermo-Seal machine operates electrically and pneumatically, through use of compressed air. The code to be printed on the label tape is entered through the machine keyboard. Raising the Press Arm engages the pneumatic system to automatically cut and seal the label tape onto the garment or textile item. Time, temperature, and other optional settings can be entered through the machine keyboard. The time and temperature, as well as other information, can be viewed from the Keyboard LCD Panel. The new heater unit design, as well as electronics, ensures the consumer of lower energy consumption and a safer work environment.
