Step Process phase Operation Vacuum+ Vacuum+ is only available if the vacuum percentage is set to the maximum. The Vacuum+ option continues the vacuum process for an additional time to allow any entrapped air to escape from the product. The Vacuum+ option is only available on sensor-controlled machines.
Page 23
Step Process phase Operation Marinating (optional) This function is only available on machines with the ACS. This function is especially designed to accelerate the marin- ating 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%, ex- cept for the last step.
Step Process phase Operation Sealing The sealing bars are pressed against the vacuum bag and melt the bag closed. Seal During the sealing process, the material of the vacuum bag is heated and pressed together to create a hermetic seal. The programming of this function takes place in seconds.
Use only undamaged preserving jars with lids suitable for vacuuming. Sealing System The sealing system closes the opening(s) of the bag to retain the vacuum and/or gas in the bag. The end of the bag can optionally be cut off by the sealing bar. Figure 5: Overview of the Seal- ing System (Including Seal Bag) Sealing bar...

6.1.9 Guideline for Function Values For each function, values can be set if you are authorised as an owner. In order to understand the consequence of the set value, the table below explains the consequences of giving a low or high value for each function.
Page 48
Function Range Conditions Sequential Vacuum 30 – 99.8% If the value for the Vacuum+ time is insufficiently ef- fective for the entrapped air to escape, the Sequential Vacuum/Multi-Cycle Vacuum Step must be enabled. In maximum five steps, vacuuming is alternated with maintaining time.
Page 49
When packaging moisture-containing products, such as soups and sauces, it is important to closely monitor the vacuuming process. The moment bubbles are formed or the product starts to bubble, you should immediately proceed to the next step in the cycle. See Proceeding to the Next Step in the Cycle on page 35.
Automatic lid The Titaan models are equipped with an automatic moving lid. There are two modes for the automatic lid of the Titaan 2-90: foot switch and automatic, as selected by the Automatic lid switch. Figure 17: Automatic lid switch The automatic lid of the Titaan 110 only works in foot switch mode.
• if a safety bumper is activated. See Safety features on page 14 for more information. 6.2.1 Operating the automatic lid (Titaan 2-90) Before you use the automatic lid, always reset the machine. To operate the automatic lid, follow these steps.
The cycle will start. The lid opens automatically at the end of the cycle. 6.2.3 Restarting the automatic lid after an emergency (Titaan 2-90) First check that the emergency situation has been resolved and that persons are no longer exposed to any risk.
Maintenance When carrying out maintenance work, always observe the following safety rules. • Always disconnect the power supply by turning the main switch to "0" or disconnecting the plug. • Always disconnect the air supply (if applicable). • Only trained technicians are authorised to perform the described maintenance activities. •...
• Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents. • The conveyor belt is heavy. Lift it with two persons or use lifting aids. Titaan 2-90 Disassemble one side of the conveyor belt. See Disassemble and reassemble the conveyor belt on page 55.
Clean the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. You can also apply a cleaning agent to the machine and wash it with clean water. Disassemble and reassemble the conveyor belt The conveyor belt can be disassembled for cleaning and maintenance purposes. Lift the silicon holder(s) from its notches on one side and remove it.

Remove the connector. Add a few drips of pneumatic oil inside the connector. The correct connector has a blue marking on the images below. Titaan 2-90 Titaan 110 Figure 22: Lubricating the conveyor belt connector Replace the connector after the lubrication.
Replacing the Sealing Wire Depending on the specifications of your machine, you can have one of the following (combinations of) sealing wires: • Wide seal: one wide sealing wire • Cut-off seal: one sealing wire and one cutting wire • Double seal: two sealing wires •...
Figure 25: Replacing the Sealing Wire Remove the Teflon tape (1) that protects the sealing wire. Remove the screws (2) at the bottom of the sealing bar and remove the sealing wires (3). Replace the Teflon tape on the sealing bar. Pull the Teflon tape from the top of the sealing bar (4).
Figure 26: Replacing the Silicone Rubber of the Silicone Holders Pull the old silicone rubber from the holder, see Figure 26: Replacing the Silicone Rubber of the Silicone Holders on page 60. Cut a new piece of silicone rubber. Make sure it is the same length as the holder. If the rubber is too short or too long, this may cause problems with the seal of the bag.
Preferably cut the new piece of rubber slightly longer than the old piece. The edges must be cut straight. If the lid gasket is too short or too long, this may cause problems when closing the lid or it may cause leakage. Install the new gasket by pressing it into the gasket slot.
7.9.1.1 Busch pump 63 - 300 m Figure 28: Overview of the Busch Pump Vacuum pump - Creates the vacuum for the process. Oil exhaust filter - Filters the air by capturing oil vapours. Oil sight glass - Indicates the maximum and minimum oil levels of the vacuum pump. Oil drain plug - Removing the oil drain plug allows the oil to be drained.
Replace the oil drain plug. Follow the steps below to replace the oil filter: Remove the old oil filter. Insert a new oil filter. Follow the steps below to add oil to the pump. You can follow these steps after all oil has been removed, but also to refill oil.
Mount the leaf spring placed aside. Mount the filter cover placed aside. 7.9.4 Running the Pump Cleaning Program The pump cleaning program runs the vacuum pump for 15 minutes. During the program, the pump and the oil reach the operating temperature. Moisture in the pump is absorbed by the oil. The high temperature causes any moisture in the pump to evaporate, and minimises the risk of corrosion.
