Evacuation pressure
Is the pressure to which the film pouch and the chamber are evacu-
ated. The pressure is measured in the chamber.
Evacuation to a pre-determined pressure is suitable for the following
cases:
• Achieving a package result which is different from that of the op-
timum evacuation pressure.
• Packing of products for which the optimum evacuation pressure
is known.
• Packing of the same product which has identical properties.
Fill diaphragm
During this time sealing pressure is applied to the sealing dia-
phragm.
Gas flushing pressure
Indicates the pressure until the film pouch is filled with inert gas.
Pressure is measured in the chamber.
Gas flushing time
Indicates the amount of time for which the film pouch will be filled
with inert gas. Pressure is not influenced by this.
Hours of operation
Shows the time the machine has been operating. The counter be-
gins to count as soon as the machine is switched on and can not be
reset.
Machine cycles
Counts the number of complete machine cycles. The counter can be
modified and reset. It is used to control the quantities produced.
MCV duration
During this time the set vacuum is maintained during the MCV proc-
ess (Pressure value + threshold).
MCV threshold
If the pressure value set here is exceeded during the MCV process,
further evacuation automatically takes place.
Post-evacuation time
This time extends the evacuation process. Through this, the reached
evacuation pressure is lower than the set value. This time begins,
when the set pressure is reached. Suitable for damp products.
Rinsing time, gas
flushing
During this time the vacuum valve and gas valve are opened simul-
taneously. On one side of the chamber a vacuum is created, on the
other side gas is supplied. The film pouch is thoroughly flushed with
gas. This reduces the residual oxygen content.
Sealing time
During this time the film pouch is sealed. The sealing time depends
on the material and the thickness of the film pouch.
Sealing time max
This time determines the maximum value for the sealing time.
