SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE DIPTANK
BOILING DYR SECURITY
The machine is equipped with a float switch (A) that
secures the diptank against boiling dry. Because of the
vaporizing of warm water and as there is always some
water left in the packing, the water level in the diptank will
decrease. When the water level will be too low, the
heating will switch off automatically.
Switching on again of the diptank:
•Add water.
•Press the pushbutton to switch on the diptank.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor (B) in the diptank guards the
temperature set.
U
SE
•Inspect the diptank before use and check it for damage.
•Remove the plug from the diptank from the wall socket after every use. Because of this you will not have
tension on the diptank.
•Never use sharp objects to operate the keys.
•Do not allow unauthorized persons into the working environment.
•Always ensure there is adequate ventilation, especially in confined places
•Wear clothing that is suitable for the work. Loose clothing or jewelry can get between the cover and the
vacuum chamber.
•Never use the machine in an environment in which there is an explosion risk.
•Replace the supply cable if it is damaged
•Make sure that the supply cable cannot be damaged by trapping this cable.
H
YGIENE
•Cleaning the machine is of the utmost importance when food products are wrapped. Clean the machine
regularly and thoroughly, preferably every day, sees “maintenance”.
•Work hygienically and prevent direct contact between the product and the machine as much as possible.
•Keep the operating controls free of dirt and grease.
•Hold long hair together.

and/or wood, which are suitable for recycling. Do not dispose of the packaging as industrial waste but
ask the sanitation department of your local government authority where you can hand in the material.
MACHINE
When you dispose of your machine, it can still contain valuable substances and materials. Do not
dispose of the machine as industrial waste, but enquire at your local government authority about the
possibilities for recycling or environmentally friendly disposal of the material.
•Most parts of the machine have been manufactured from stainless steel and can be disposed of as
scrap metal in the normal way. From health and environmental considerations, no asbestos has been
used.
•The printed circuit boards and the components mounted on them are electronic waste.. Deliver old
printed circuit boards to specialized companies for environmentally friendly processing.
OIL
Ask the sanitation department of your local government authority where you should take the used oil for
an environmentally friendly processing.

1. THE DIPTANK
1.1. Execution diptank
In a diptank products can be final processed which are vacuum packed in shrink bags. Shrink bang are vacuum
bags which shrink when being heated.
A diptank is a machine with a water reservoir. The water will be heated till the adjusted temperature. After
vacuum packing of products the package shows folds and wrinkles. When a packed product in a shrink bag is
dipped in hot water, the pouch shrinks and straightens out the folds. The result is a tight packed product with a
second skin effect.
In the diptank there is a platform, where products should be placed on when it is in its highest position. After
placing the products on the platform, the push button has to be pressed. The platform will automatically descend
and rise automatically where the products have been dipped in the warm water. The final processed products
have to be removed manually from the platform.
