The control panel is where some of the functions of the machine could be adjusted and/or modified based on your specific
machine requirements. Please note that the machine is delivered with predefined feature parameters and you may not need to
change any of the defined settings.
TOUCH SCREEN: Please check (9) for operation detail & function setting.
EMERGENCY: Safety button provided to STOP the machine.
CONVEYOR: Switch on to move container on track.

Updated: 10 February, 2010 Page 7 Ref: REI-55VGF2
VACUUM: To set up value for drawing vacuum & flushing inert gas (N2. CO2, O2…).
Note: Setting way refer “3.1.2”&“3.2”.
BUZZER : Warning sounds when machine function encounter error.
Note: To turn off sound, press “F1”key on HMI.
TEMPERATURE 1~2 : This is to manage the temperature setting in degrees centigrade (oC).
(Polypropylene, PVC or PET films could have the default settings of 135
to 250 oC. This will vary based on the type of containers and sealing films
used).
Note: Setting way refer “3.1”.
POWER ON/ OFF: The power on/off switch to start/stop the operation of the machine.
NOTE: The machine will not be performed the function when the setting is set to OFF.

3.1.1 SETTING FOR TEMPERATURE 1 & 2: Please set the temperature for sealing,
The Orange number means the actual temperature of the heater and the Green one
means the setting. Press the “ ” ” ” ” “ for adjust the Green temperature.
And press the “ENT” to save when finish the adjusting.
Then Press “Run” to Start or Stop heat, and it ‘s start to Heat if shows the 2 Green light,
and Stop to Heat if not.

3.1.2. SETTING FOR VACUUM LIST: The display shows the normal atmospheric
pressure of the environment as the figure A.

3.1.2.1 Functions of the Main Setting:
P1~ Vacuum
P2~ Gas in 1 & Gas in 2 (Matched with HMI setting)
P3~ Spare
P4~ Spare
Setting Indication Unit: Kpa.(1 kpa= 0.01019 Kg/cm2)
(It will easier to understand if presume the kpa. To %)
3.1.2.2 Operation Guide: For one and two kinds of Gas Flushing.
1. Vacuum Setting: (Data: 0 ~ -99)
Step1: Press “SET” to get into the setting P1, this allows to set the vacuum pressure
(in kPa). Recommend to set the pressure from -70 ~ -95, then use the ▲ ▼ keys to setting.
2. Gas Flush Setting: (Data: 0 ~ -99)
Step2: Press the “SET” to P2, use the ▲ ▼ keys to set to 0 ~ -99 for gas flush
(MAP Choice 1 or 2) Recommend to set the pressure from -1 ~ -20.
Note: 1. With an innovation design, no need to set “P1”with - 99. It will take more time on
vacuum and lead a lower production capacity if set “P1”with -99.
2. Pressure setting for “P2”must be within -20. “P2”volume between the “-21 ~
-99”may cause a container distortion when the vacuum chamber opened.

3. Please check the enclosure for the original Manual which provides from the manufacturer.

3.2. Air pressure & inert gas connector:
3.3.1. Air –in is an air pressure input to motivate conveyor or all air cylinders.
3.3.2. Gas –In 1 & Gas –In 2 are connectors to inject inert gas (N2, CO2, O2…) for MAP (Page 17).
3.3. Example of Percentage Setting of inert gases
3.3.1 Application with Inert Gas Injection
Red: Oxygen residual level before or after vacuumed.
Blank: Vacuumed area.
Green: Inert gases area.
Setting of P1, P2, P3, & P4 means the vacuum & gas flush for the chamber.
3.3.1.1 Suppose to set “P1”with “-99”: ( Draw vacuum)
(It’s meant that the air inside mould chamber will be vacuumed through 99%.
On other hand, there will be a 99% room for inert gases to refill after mould chamber
had been vacuumed.)

Updated: 10 February, 2010 Page 10 Ref: REI-55VGF2
3.3.1.2 Suppose to set “P2”with “-49”: (Data Setting available from 0 ~ -99)
(It is meant the MAP choice for the “1 or 2”will have 50% quantity of inert gas can
be refilled into container. 99 –49 = 50)
Note: Data setting within “-1~ -99”(Shrink Sealing Shape).
Data setting with “0”(Flat Sealing Shape)
“Gas in 1”&“Gas in 2”(Refer from HMI setting/MAP Choice/Page 17).
3.3.1.3 “P3”:Spare.
3.3.1.4 “P4”: Spare.
3.3.2 Application without Inert Gas Injection (Vacuum Only)
Red: Oxygen residual level before or after vacuumed.
Blank: Vacuumed area.
3.3.2.1 Suppose to set “P1”with “-20”: ( Draw vacuum)
(It’s meant that the air inside mould chamber will be vacuumed through 20%. On other
hand, there will be a 20% room for inert gases or air to refill after mould chamber had
been vacuumed.)
3.3.2.2 Suppose to set “P2”with “-20”(Setting for “P2”better same as “P1”or less minor.)
(It is meant the MAP choice for the “1 or 2”will inject 80% inert gas or air into chamber.
However, oxygen residual level already 80% inside chamber after vacuumed, so it will
re-fill no inert gas or no air.)
Note: 1. Data setting without inert gases application is only work for “Shrink Sealing Shape”
2. The high data setting for P1 without gas injection application will cause a container
distortion when the vacuum chamber opened
3.3.2.3 “P3”:Spare.
3.3.2.4 “P4”: Spare.

4. Roll Film Set-Up (Unavailable for Pre-cut Film Design)
Setting Up the film roll is a simple step of following the direction as per the images below –with printer or without the printer.
The printer will stamp product information on the film such as the expiry date, manufacturing date / time.
1. Follow the film dressing process below. Keep the film in right direction as shown below.
2. Plug in the power wire, and turn the power on at the front panel. The heater will start heating up automatically.
3. It takes 5~7 minutes to reach the set temperature which had been keyed in already.
4. The “TEMP CONTROL”indicative lamp will be “off”automatically when the set temperature reached. Then the
machine is ready for the container to make sealing function.
5. Choose the correct film material:(It is important for good sealing)
