Machine cycles
[Parameter of the control unit]
Counts the number of complete machine cycles. The counter can be
modified and reset. It is used to control the quantities produced.

Ambient pressure
During the MCV (MULTIVAC Continuous Vacuum) process, a prod-
uct or a pack is exposed to a vacuum for up to 20 days. The cham-
ber is evacuated to the set pressure, which is then maintained for
the set time. If the pressure exceeds an adjustable threshold, post-
evacuation takes place automatically.
MCV duration
[Parameter of the control unit]
This time determines the duration of the MCV process.
MCV threshold
[Parameter of the control unit]
If the pressure value set here is exceeded during the MCV process,
further evacuation automatically takes place.
