If the function Automatic is set, the machine will reach the optimum
evacuation time and pressure depending on the product.
The automatic evacuation is suitable for the following cases:
• Achieving the best possible vacuum for long shelf life.
• Packing of products for which the optimum evacuation pressure
is not known.
• Packing of the same product but one which has varying proper-
ties (e.g. varying moisture content, varying temperature).
If the evacuation is automatic the value for Automatic sensitivity can
be adapted to the product.
Determines the evacuation time and the evacuation pressure
reached when evacuating with the Automatic function. The sensitiv-
ity is adjustable from 1 to 10. The lower the sensitivity, the lower the
evacuation pressure reached. The value for Automatic sensitivity is
dependant on the product.
High value for Automatic sensitivity (value 10):
• Is suitable for very moist or fluid products.
• Evacuation process ends early.
• Evacuation pressure reached in the pack is high.
Low value for Automatic sensitivity (value 1):
• Is suitable for dry products.
• Evacuation process ends late.
• Evacuation pressure reached in the pack is low.
Value for the cooling down time of the seal seam. The vacuum in the
chamber and the sealing pressure are maintained for this length of
time. The seal seam can harden. The sealing is switched off during
this time.
The display contains the times of the individual procedures of the
last packaging procedure.
The ventilation of the chamber begins with a delay after sealing.
Switching interval between the completed evacuation process and
the beginning of the gas flushing process. During the distribution
time remaining air pockets in the products can escape before the
package is sealed.
Switching interval after the gas flushing process, during which the
gas can distribute itself in the the film pouch.
