SIPROMAC INC. VACUUM PACKAGING MACHINES 1. SETTING UP THE MACHINE: Before choosing the site for the machine, please consider that you will also need room for packaged and non-packaged products apart from the space needed for the machine itself. Keep in mind that the machine must not be set up upon uneven ground. Especially with mobile models, the weight of the pump might then cause warping of the machine.
To obtain nice packages, the products and the bags have to be of proportional sizes. The bag's opening should never exceed 50 cm(2") past the seal bars. The product should be centered in height in relation to the seal bar by adjusting the spacers provided. To obtain a good seal, make sure that no residue of fat is left between the bag's inner sides where sealing is done.

WARNING: All electrical work described in this brochure should be done by a QUALIFIED and AUTHORIZED technician. 3.4 Daily cleaning: For hygenic cleanliness, it is imperative to clean chamber and spacers daily. Also clean the lid rubber to assure tight seat of the lid. Cleaning instructions for gas injection nozzles: Periodically on a regular basis the gas injection nozzles must be removed with the connection tube and soaked in a food grade soap and water solution, then dried and re-installed.
4.2 Insufficient vacuum: 4.2.1 Leakage in the bag: Most frequently, insufficient vacuum in bags is due to leakage in bag and not due to any fault of the machine. Pin-hole leak for which there is no obvious explanation is due to faulty bag material. Pin-hole leak caused by sharp edge of the product (bone, etc.).Use bone-guard or thicker film.

Only qualified service technicians are authorized to access this menu by entering a security password. By acceding either the "D1 input test" feature or the "D2 output test" feature,a trained technician will be able to quickly know the origin of the problem: pump, sealing system, pneumatic problem, security switches problem, etc...
