9 Operation
This section is aimed at "users" of the Vacuum Packaging Machine, who use and monitor them in nor-
mal operation. It provides all the information required for operation, from start-up through to operation
and shutdown of the Vacuum Packaging Machine.
9.1 Requirements for operation
Before the Vacuum Packaging Machine can be started up, the following requirements must be met:
• The Vacuum Packaging Machine must be properly installed and connected by authorized and fully
qualified personnel (Service personnel).
• The emergency stop buttons must be released.
• The vacuum chamber must be clean and dry.
• The conveyor belt must be tensioned and centered as far as possible.
9.2 Preparation
Before you can start packaging, you must prepare the product for packaging, prepare the packaging
material and adjust the Vacuum Packaging Machine to suit the product to be packed.
9.2.1 Preparing the product
Read the part entitled "Suitable products" in section 2.3 „Use in accordance“ to determine which prod-
ucts are permitted for packaging with the Vacuum Packaging Machine.
The chamber dimensions of the vacuum chamber dictate the maximum product size. Read the section
3.3.1 „Dimensions“. To achieve the optimum packaging result, observe the following points when pre-
paring the product for packaging:
• the product portion size should be selected to avoid soiling the bag opening when the product is in-
serted.
• cooked products should be left to cool as long as possible.
NOTICE
The boiling temperature falls in the vacuum, so that warm products start to evaporate heavily,
impairing the vacuum quality and the pump capacity. Choosing a suitable type of vacuum (see
description Mask 101/102: Parameter 1/2 and 2/2).
NOTICE
It is vital to comply with the relevant health and safety regulations when packaging foodstuffs
or sterile products, otherwise the products may be inedible or unusable.
