6.2. Use
Press ON the main switch (Q1) and wait a few seconds until the display shows the last program performed (e.g. P1).
Place the product to be packaged inside the pouch.
Place the pouch inside the tank and on the sealing bar in a way as linear as
possible.
Try to prevent the pouch from wrinkling. Wrinkles might negatively affect the
hermetic seal formed by sealing. Pouches shall be at least 2cm beyond the
sealing.
If the "GAS" function is on, the pouch must be positioned with the strip open on
the gas nozzle on one side of the sealing bar.
Close the upper Plexiglas cover.
Once the cover has been closed, press the Start button (3) to run the packaging
cycle.
Note: When the product dimensions allow, we recommend using some tables
(13) as shimming the product facilitates positioning the pouch in relation to the
sealing bar.
Moreover, it allows decreasing the volume of the tank (14) and, therefore, the
amount of air to be removed, speeding up the packaging cycle.
The packaging cycle is sub-divided into four phases:
1.
Vacuum phase during which all the air contained in the tank and in the
pouch is extracted. During the vacuum stage, the display shows the
progress (in percentage) until the set value is reached.
The LED is on (9).
2.
Gas injection phase (if the machine is equipped with a gas plant). During
the gas injection stage, the display shows progress in percentage until the
set value is reached.
The LED is on (10).
3.
Sealing phase during which the packet is sealed. During the sealing stage,
the display shows progress in seconds until the set value is reached.
The LED is on (11).
4.
Stage of air inlet back into the tank. The LED is on (12).
Ambient pressure is restored in the tank. Now you can open the cover, as
soon as the display shows the program number (e.g. P1).
Machine is ready for a new packing cycle.
