Post-evacuation time
[Parameter of the control unit]
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.
Purging time, gas
flushing
[Optional] [Parameter of the control unit]
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.
Recipe
A recipe contains the machine settings adapted for a product. The
settings for a specific product can then be loaded quickly.
Sealing
The sealing procedure closes the evacuated film pouch to form a
pack. In sealing, the pouch neck is pressed together and the sealing
bar is heated. At the heated point the pouch neck melts to form a
seal seam.
The following sealing procedures are available:
• Double-seam sealing (option)
• Double-seam sealing at top and bottom (option)
• Double-seam separation sealing
Sealing time
[Parameter of the control unit]
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
[Parameter of the control unit]
This time determines the maximum value for the sealing time.

The product positioning height can be manually set to the height of
the sealing bar by means of the spacer plates. The product is cor-
rectly positioned when the pouch neck lies half way up the pouch
height. Additionally, the chamber volume is reduced and the cham-
ber is evacuated more quickly.
