This section describes the packaging process and the machine functions. See Operation on page
19 for the realization of the specific steps of the procedure.

Step Process phase Operation

1. Preparation The operator puts the product in a vacuum bag and places it
on the work surface with the opening on the sealing position.

2. Applying vacuum The vacuum process is initiated by closing the lid.

During the cycle, the air will be removed from the chamber
until the set vacuum percentage or time has been reached.

3. Sealing The sealing bars are pressed against the vacuum bag and
melt the bag closed.
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.

off wire. The purpose of the cut-off wire is to remove the ex-
cess foil from the remaining flap.

4. Decompressing The vacuum is removed from the vacuum chamber by letting

air into the chamber.

5. Opening the vacu- The lid opens.

um chamber

6. Removing the The operator can remove the packaged product from the
product work surface.

4.2.2 General Functions

Function Pictogram Operation

Cleaning of the The pump cleaning programme ensures that the pump is thor-
oil pump oughly rinsed. During the programme, the pump and oil reach
the operating temperature, so the oil and moisture are separated
and any contamination is filtered. The high temperature causes
any moisture in the pump to evaporate, thus minimising the risk
of corrosion.

Description of the Machine 15

Function Pictogram Operation

External Vacu- This function allows special food containers to be vacuumed out-
um side the machine.
The options to set the vacuum value are the same as for stand-
ard vacuuming (see External Vacuum (optional) on page 22).

4.3 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 2: Overview of the Sealing System

1. Sealing bar
The sealing bar consists of the following components:

• Sealing wires: during the sealing process, the sealing wires are heated for a certain time
causing the edges of the vacuum bag to melt together.
• Cut-off wires (optional): A cut-off wire is heated in such a way that the foil of the bag
partially melts, allowing the excess foil of the vacuum bag to be removed easily.
• Teflon tape: sealing and cut-off wires are covered with Teflon tape to prevent the bag from
sticking to the sealing bar.
Consult Replacing the Sealing Wire on page 25 for more detailed information about
maintenance.
2. Silicone holder
Opposite the sealing bar is a silicone holder which provides counter pressure on the cylinders
(Replacing the Silicone Rubber of the Silicone Holders on page 27).
3. Sealing mechanism
The sealing bars are pressed onto the vacuum bag by cylinders. By connecting the inlet of the
cylinders with the atmospheric pressure outside, they press the sealing bar onto the bag.

Operation 22
6.1.7 Guideline for Function Values
Values can be set for each function. 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.

Function Range Conditions

Vacuum 30-99 % or Rule of thumb: the higher the vacuum, the less oxygen
1-99 seconds remains in the package and the longer the shelf life of
the product. There are exceptions to this rule.

Vacuum + (only for 0-99 seconds This is the time that is needed to let enclosed air es-
sensor control) cape after reaching the maximum vacuum.

Vacuum must be set to maximum.

Seal time 0.5 – 4.0 seconds This is the time that the sealing wire and/or the cut-off
wire are heated. The longer the time, the more heat is
transferred to the bag.
The average seal time is 1.8-2.5 seconds.

Cleaning of the 15 minutes Fixed value.

pump

The vacuum in the chamber must be at least 30% at the moment of sealing (-0.3 bar on
the meter).

If the pressure is reduced, the boiling point of liquids will be decreased; see Vapour Pressure
Curve of Water on page 41. As a result of this law of nature, a product may start boiling. In
addition to contamination of the machine, this will reduce the weight and quality of the product to
be packaged.
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 20.
By letting products cool down sufficiently prior to starting the vacuuming process, a higher vacuum
can be achieved.
When packaging moisture-containing products, it is important to run the pump cleaning programme
at least once a week. When moisture-containing products are vacuumed on a daily basis, it is
recommended to run the pump cleaning programme at the end of the day.

Operation 23
7 Maintenance
When carrying out maintenance work, always observe the following safety rules.
• Only trained technicians are authorised to perform the described maintenance activities.
• Always disconnect the power supply by disconnecting the plug.
• Test the machine after carrying out maintenance work or repairs to make sure the machine can
be used safely.

7.1 Running the Pump Cleaning Programme

The pump cleaning programme runs the vacuum pump for 15 minutes. During the programme, 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.
It is advisable to run the programme before using the machine for the first time, after the machine
has been stationary for a lengthy period of time, and especially prior to changing oil.
Run the pump cleaning programme every week. If you package moisture-containing products,
such as soups and sauces, the pump cleaning programme should be run every day.
1. Select the pump cleaning programme.

1-PCS Press the Pump Cleaning Programme button.

2. Close the lid to start the pump cleaning programme.
The pump cleaning programme will run for 15 minutes.

7.3 Cleaning the Machine

Never clean the machine using a high pressure cleaner.

Do not use any aggressive or toxic cleaning agents.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents.

1. Clean the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. You can also apply a cleaning agent to the
machine and wash it with clean water.

7.4 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
• Double seal: two sealing wires
• Trenn seal: one sealing wire and one cutting wire
The process of replacing the sealing wires is the same for all types.
Replace the sealing wires if the wire and/or the Teflon tape are damaged, or as specified in
Maintenance Schedule on page 24.

b. Attach the tape over the sealing wires on the sealing bar evenly and without folds.
c. Cut the tape.
7. Place the sealing bar back in its position.

7.5 Replacing the Silicone Rubber of the Silicone Holders

To ensure a seal of good quality, the silicone rubber may not be damaged and the surface must be
smooth. Mechanical contact or burning by the sealing wire may damage the rubber.
Replace the silicone rubber if damaged or as specified in Maintenance Schedule on page 24.

Figure 7: Replacing the Silicone Rubber of the Silicone Holders

1. Pull the old silicone rubber from the holder, see Figure 7: Replacing the Silicone Rubber of the
Silicone Holders on page 27.
2. 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.

3. Install the new piece of silicone rubber by pressing it into the recess of the silicone holder.
Ensure that the silicone rubber is fully and uniformly placed in the recess. It is also important
that the surface of the silicone rubber is smooth after it is in place, and that it shows no signs
of stress.

7.6 Replacing the Lid Gasket

The lid gasket ensures the vacuum chamber is fully closed during the machine cycle. This is
essential to reach the maximum vacuum level. Due to extreme pressure differences, the gasket
wears and should therefore be replaced regularly.
Replace the lid gasket if damaged or as specified in Maintenance Schedule on page 24.

Maintenance 27
 Figure 8: Replacing the Lid Gasket

1. Pull the old gasket loose to remove it.

2. Cut a new piece of rubber.

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.

3. Install the new gasket by pressing it into the gasket slot. The lip of the gasket must face
downwards and outwards.
The gasket should be placed in the slot evenly and without any tension. The edges must be
placed closely together to prevent leakage.

7.7 Inspecting the Lid Springs

1. Check the fastenings of the lid springs for wear, corrosion and damage.
2. Check the lid springs for wear and damage.

In the case of irregularities, please contact your service dealer.
