4.2 Description of the Packaging Process/Machine Functions
This section provides an overview of the packaging process and available machine functions.
See Changing the Program Settings on page 20 for information about setting the
parameters to the correct values.
4.2.1 Packaging Process/Machine Functions
This section describes the packaging process and the machine functions. See Operation on page
18 for the realization of the specific steps of the procedure.
Step Process phase Operation
1. Preparation The operator puts the product in a vacuum bag and places it
on the work surface with the opening on the sealing position.
2. Applying vacuum The vacuum process is initiated by closing the lid.
During the cycle, the air will be removed from the chamber
until the set time has been reached.
3. Sealing The sealing bars are pressed against the vacuum bag and
melt the bag closed.
During the sealing process, the material of the vacuum bag
is heated and pressed together to create a hermetic seal.
The programming of this function takes place in seconds.
Optionally, the second sealing wire can be replaced by a
cut-off wire. The purpose of the cut-off wire is to remove the
excess foil from the remaining flap.
4. Decompressing The vacuum is removed from the vacuum chamber by letting
air into the chamber.
5. Opening the
vacuum chamber The lid opens.
6. Removing the
product The operator can remove the packaged product from the work surface.

Description of the Machine 13
4.2.2 General Functions
Function Pictogram Operation
Cleaning of the
oil pump
The pump cleaning program ensures that the pump is thoroughly
rinsed. During the program, the pump and oil reach the
operating temperature, so the oil and moisture are separated
and any contamination is filtered. The high temperature causes
any moisture in the pump to evaporate, thus minimising the risk
of corrosion.
External
Vacuum This function allows special food containers to be vacuumed
outside the machine.
The options to set the vacuum value are the same as for
standard vacuuming (see External Vacuum (optional) on page
20).
4.3 Sealing System
The sealing system closes the opening(s) of the bag to retain the vacuum and/or gas in the bag.
The end of the bag can optionally be cut off by the sealing bar.
Figure 2: Overview of the Sealing System
1. Sealing bar
The sealing bar consists of the following components:
• Sealing wires: during the sealing process, the sealing wires are heated for a certain time
causing the edges of the vacuum bag to melt together.
• Cut-off wires (optional): A cut-off wire is heated in such a way that the foil of the bag
partially melts, allowing the excess foil of the vacuum bag to be removed easily.
• Teflon tape: sealing and cut-off wires are covered with Teflon tape to prevent the bag from
sticking to the sealing bar.

Description of the Machine 14
Consult Replacing the Sealing Wire on page 27 for more detailed information about
maintenance.
2. Silicone holder
Opposite the sealing bar is a silicone holder which provides counterpressure on the cylinders
(Replacing the Silicone Rubber of the Silicone Holders on page 29).
3. Sealing mechanism
The sealing bars are pressed onto the vacuum bag by cylinders.
By connecting the inlet of the cylinders with the atmospheric pressure outside, they press the
sealing bar onto the bag.
4.4 Vacuum Pump
The vacuum pump creates the vacuum.
