7.- Set the Blast Time
Adapt the Blast time value by using the + and - buttons after Blast in the right lower part in the menu, or
by pressing the value after Blast. An input menu will appear (see picture).
Keep the following rules in mind when setting the air jet duration:
- Keep the blast time as short as possible: the longer the air jet, the more good product will
be targeted along with the defect.
- For certain large or long products (potatoes, whole carrots, etc. ...) a longer blast time will
be necessary in order to be sure the defect will be blown out, even when it is situated at an
extremity of the product.
The blast time is mostly dependent on the shape and size of the product, and is usually the same for all
devices.
