Describe the problem:
The machine is working, but the cross seal has been under performing. The cross seal seems to be having trouble cutting and sealing the plastic, leading to the seal being inconsistent / weak, and frequently failing to release and becoming stuck. We've had to raise average dwell time and blade temperature every few days for the past few weeks in order to counteract it. Very little comes off the blade when we use the method of using a wadded piece of plastic to wipe the blade. All the usual techniques for improving bags and how well the blade seals have worked (like making heavy use of priming the blade and pads), but performance has just been trending downward the last few weeks and we'd like it to be looked at.
