  • Page 14: Description Of The Machine

    Description of the Machine This section provides an overview of the main components and functions. If detailed information is available in this manual, you will be referred to the specific sections. Overview of the Main Components The figure below shows the main components of the system. The model shown may differ from your machine.
  • Page 15: Description Of The Packaging Process/Machine Functions

    Vacuum pump The vacuum pump creates the vacuum. Power connection and cable This serves to connect the machine to the power supply. Gas flush system connector (optional) After applying vacuum, a gas is injected into the packaging to create a modified atmosphere to protect the shape of the product or increase the shelf life of the product.
  • Page 16 Step Process phase Operation Depending on the options you selected for your machine and the product you are packaging, the following functions are available: Vacuum During the cycle, the air is removed from the chamber until the set time or pressure has been reached, depending on the selected model.
  • Page 17 Step Process phase Operation Liquid Control Liquid Control is only available if your machine is equipped (optional) with the optional Liquid Control sensor. With the Liquid Control option, the system is controlled by a highly sensitive sensor. The sensor is able to detect the moment that liquids from the product or the product itself begin to evaporate (boil).
  • Page 18 Step Process phase Operation Marinating (optional) This function is only available on machines with the Advanced Control System (ACS). This function is especially designed to accelerate the marinating of a product. This program allows definition of up to 5 vacuuming steps with intermediate ventilation steps. The vacuuming steps have a fixed vacuum value of 80%, except for the last step.
  • Page 19: General Functions

    Step Process phase Operation This function allows air from outside to slowly enter the Soft-Air chamber so the vacuum bag will shape itself slowly around the product. This prevents sharp edges of the product from puncturing the foil and causing leaks. Opening the The lid opens.

    6.7.1.2 Vacuum+ (optional) If air is trapped in the product, it may be desirable to extend the vacuuming time after the maximum vacuum has been reached. This to allow entrapped air to escape from the product. The Vacuum+ time is set in seconds. If a Vacuum+ time has been set, a dot will appear in the bottom right of the parameter display.
  • Page 34: Gas+ (Optional)

    6.7.1.4 Gas+ (optional) The Gas+ option only applies if the machine is equipped with the gas option. For some products it may be desirable to insert additional gas into the packaging to create a "balloon packaging". This allows for a better protection of a fragile product. The recommended value for Gas+ is 0.7 seconds. If the Gas+ option is enabled, a dot will appear in the bottom right of the program display.
