gasket of the lid there is a distance of at
least 4-5 mm
6. Verify that the welding time is suitable for
the bag thickness
7. Verify that the area in which the welding is
8. made, isn’t wet or has got some creases.
9. Verify that the silicone of the lid is not
damaged.
? THE MACHINE DOES NOT ATTAIN THE
OPTIMUM VACUUM
1. Close the bell and when you reach the
pressure of about 70/cmHg off the line,

15
checking if the pointer of the vacuum gauge
stays in place or if recedes. In the first case
we are diagnosing losses, so the problem is
due to other source (vane pump, oil change,
cleaning pump). In the second case it is in the
presence of air infiltration in bell then:
- Check the integrity of the seal on the lid;
Thus requiring replacement of parts
mentioned above, you can ask the
manufacturer
2. Check that the bag during the vacuum cycle
does not swell. If this happens:
- Check the correct positioning of the bag
- Check the correct positioning of the sealing
bar in its housing
- Check there is the correct distance between
the sealing bar and against the bar (4-5 mm)
3. Verify that the weld is uniform and without
breaks that could seep air
4. Check that the setting of the vacuum is
adequate for the product you are crafting
? DO NOT LIFT THE LID ON OR RAISE A
LITTLE
1. Verify the proper operation of the pistons
placed inside the machine.
