Operation 45
Function Range Conditions
Sequential Vacuum
(ACS)/Multi-Cycle
Vacuum (10-prog
control)
0 – 99%
(for 10-prog control)
30 – 99.8%
(for ACS)
If the value for the Vacuum+ time is insufficiently
effective 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. Each step increases the vacuum
reached in the previous step.
Marinating 40 – 99.8%
Steps: 1 – 5
Only in case of ACS control. This is the adjustable
value of the last step. If it is set to 40%, no more
vacuuming will take place during this step, but it will
immediately proceed to sealing. 1 – 5 steps can be set.
The set end vacuum can only be achieved during the
last step.
Tenderising 30 – 99.8%
Time: 0 – 30
minutes
Only in case of ACS control. This is the value at
which the tenderising takes place. The duration of the
tenderising process can also be set.
Seal time
1-2 cutting time
0.1 – 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.
Cleaning of the
pump
15 minutes Fixed value.
The vacuum in the chamber must be at least 30% at the moment of sealing.
If the pressure is reduced, the boiling point of liquids will be decreased; see Figure 15: Vapour
Pressure Curve of Water on page 46. 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 30.
By letting products cool down sufficiently prior to starting the vacuuming process, a higher vacuum
can be achieved.
If the machine is equipped with the Liquid Control option, the control will automatically proceed to
the next step if the product starts boiling.
When packaging moisture-containing products, it is important to run the pump cleaning program
at least once a week. When moisture-containing products are vacuumed on a daily basis, it is
recommended to run the pump cleaning program at the end of the day.
