| 2020-07-25 | The Arpac has been having a little difficulty on some of the coffeecakes, seems to be sticking more to the blade and not detaching easily, we've also noticed the little plastic build up that usually forms where the two blades meet is now farther up the vertical blade(I left a piece of plastic on the blade to show where it came from.) Possibly just needs a new strip | replaced tape | ||||
| 2020-07-03 | The lower of the two black internal conveyor belts has a substantial cut/rip. | replaced belt lower | ||||
| 2020-06-03 | The shrink wrapper's inside belt started squeaking very loudly tonight. It's still running wonderfully though!! Just the annoying sound. | lubed all rollers | ||||
| 2020-05-30 | Take up reel stops spinning and the take up then goes slack. Packagers have been hitting cycle stop/ cycle start and gets the reel spinning normally. Sometimes the reel spins so hard it causes plastic to feed. | Complete | ||||
| 2020-05-02 | Other | Side seal on the Arpac shrink wrapper started to drop in temperature and then would not heat back up. | soldered lead to heater back together | |||
| 2020-04-28 | Could we arrange a deep clean for the Shrink Wrapper, its been a while and its starting to sound a little cruddy under the belt. | cleaned | ||||
| 2020-04-16 | Hey Tom, The Shrink wrapper had a lot of trouble on the large items after you left :( We were getting a lot of holes in the corner and it was making the wrap look bubbly. We pulled out the old shrink wrapper for the remainder of the cake department cakes we had to wrap, which also gave a us a lot of trouble, I could barely get them wrapped, so we actually stopped and will pick it up tomorrow because the fondant on cakes was being damaged from the heat. The old one was not disconnecting from the cross seal and there for ripping a hole in each bag. Sorry, it was working so well too! | changed tape cleaned knife | ||||
| 2020-03-23 | The shrink wrapper had some trouble today, putting a hole in the corner seal of the package. I think the strips need the be replaced. The corner seal is looking a little ratty. By the way, the machine has been on quite a long streak of awesomeness, well done guys! | replaced strips | ||||
| 2020-01-02 | machine is running great! There is just a rusty sound coming from under the belt, talked to mike about it | check over drive and oiled chain | ||||
| 2019-12-31 | The shrink wrapper is destroying small coffee cakes pretty frequently, chopping them down the middle. Sometimes when it happens, the belt appears to stop moving while the item is under the blade, and then the blade comes down and cuts the coffee cake in half. | Mike will work with You at 3 PM. Look at your roller takeup for the tail | ||||

| 2019-10-03 | Other | Shrink Wrapper | The shrink wrapper had a hard time tonight even with the vanguard film. It’s was mainly the side seal not sealing again, sometimes the front seal too. When it did work the wrap did not look the best. The adhesive part on the 2 inch Teflon came off again and got stuck to some plastic and pulled the foam out, maybe the tape is bad? I’ll be in at 3 for the pastry meeting, but I’ll try to pop in early, I’ll also be around after the meeting. | Complete | ||

| 2016-12-03 | Other | Arpac belt acting up | The belt is still little off pulling weird. Also with the other heat sealer out of commision we had to run ten pans on the new one which may have caused some glaze to get under the belt(was acting up before this) while servicing if you could also give a scrub to the area we can't reach with out taking off the belt that would be awesome. | Complete | ||
| 2016-11-14 | Other | squeaky belt | The smaller belt inside the ARPAC shrink wrapper is squeaking. The belt after the pastry goes past the blade. Can you check to make sure everything is in line and find a way to stop the squeak? | complete | ||

| 2016-07-25 | Hey hey, the new shrink wrapper had a problem today that i have never encountered, in the middle of wrapping cakes it would randomly not seal(as in the blade would not even come down) I tried hitting manual seal, but no luck. When i reset the machine it worked for about 10 cakes then did the same thing. I didn't have many cakes left at the time so i just ran with it, every time it decided not seal, i reset then started again. Call me if this is not clear 734-776-2587. thank you! | complete | ||||
| 2016-06-13 | Other | Hey there, I was wondering if we could get that deep clean going on the new shrink wrapper, its taking quite a hit from this week leading up to fathers day. also the belt is starting to shift upward, possibly just need a little tune up to keep the belt tight. Thank you, email or call me if you have any questions. | complete | |||

| 2016-01-14 | Electrical | false alarm on machine | During operation, the machine would pause and state 'scrap broken' even when that wasn't the case.

| 2015-04-19 | Other | The sealer on the new machine is possibly too hot and is causing the film to bunch up before it goes in the tunnel. It then has "stretch marks" when it comes out instead of being smooth. | completed | |||
