2.3 Intended Use
The Vacuum Packaging Machine VC999 K7 is a technical appliance which should only be used for its
intended task. Use of the Vacuum Packaging Machine in accordance with its intended purpose consists
with provisions in vacuuming and sealing suitable products in sealable plastic bags.
Proper use in accordance with the intended purpose also includes compliance with all the instructions
and conditions for setting up, connection and the operation of the Vacuum Packaging Machine as speci-
fied by the manufacturer.
Suitable products
Suitable products for vacuum wrapping are goods which do not develop any explosive or toxic vapours
on introduction of a vacuum and which will not be damaged by the effect of the vacuum. Such products
may be from the foodstuffs sector (e.g. meat, sausage, etc.) or the non-food sector (medical equipment,
electrical or mechanical components, etc.).
The owner is responsible for the suitability, condition and characteristics of the products being pack-
aged. The machine manufacturer is not responsible for the content of the packages.
If in doubt, check the suitability of products with valueless samples or take advice from the Vacuum
Packaging Machine manufacturer.
Any use that deviates from the use in accordance without the written approval of the manufacturer is
deemed to be mis-use. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage to the Vacuum Packag-
ing Machine or vacuum-packed products arising from this.

2.4 Safety when vacuuming
... DANGER
Vacuums kill living organisms! Do not vacuum-pack any living organisms and also ensure that
no living organisms are vacuum-packed by unauthorized persons or children!
Vacuum packaging systems use a vacuum pump to remove air from a hermetically sealed vacuum
chamber in which the product and the packaging has been placed. Therefore, access is not possible
during the sealing process. External air has to flow into the chamber before the two parts of the sealing
tool can be opened.
Never try to open the tool with force!
The vacuum is used to extract the air in the packaging. According to the laws of thermalphysics, mois-
ture in the air starts to evaporate at a relatively low vacuum. This means that products which contain a
large amount of uncombined moisture can be affected.
The vacuum pump has the reverse effect, like a compressor. Dust particles, but also moisture, are en-
trained by the vacuum current and can reach the vacuum pump unhindered. If products for which this
process can occur are to be packaged, it is recommended to install a dust or moisture separator in front
of the vacuum pump.
This especially applies for products which have a high sugar or starch content (sauces and breadcrumb
coating), since entrained particles become incrusted in valves and small bore holes in the tool and on
the lamellas of the vacuum pump where they crystallize or agglutinate. And since these locations can
hardly be cleaned, functioning of the entire system can be significantly affected if a filter and separator
are not installed.
It is also hazardous to package flammable or explosive products (icing sugar or dextrose, but also spray
or perfume bottles), since entrained parts or particles can react accordingly.
... DANGER
Spray bottles with a specified internal pressure should not be vacuum packed, since a reduc-
tion of the external pressure causes the high internal pressure to explode.
The standard version of the Vacuum Packaging Machine VC999 K7 is equipped with a vacuum pump
but without a filter or separator, if not ordered with the respective equipment.
2.4.1 Safety precautions and equipment
The following safety precautions and equipment are designed to ensure your safety:
• EMERGENCY STOP button on both sides of the cockpit
If an emergency or hazardous situation arises, use the EMERGENCY STOP buttons to immediately
stop the Vacuum Packaging Machine and to de-energize any hazardous components. Release of
the EMERGENCY STOP button does not automatically restart the machine. The machine has to be
actively re-started.

Cockpit (1)
The cockpit is located directly above the conveyor belt and can be operated from either side of the ma-
chine. It includes all operating elements for operating the Vacuum Packaging Machine.
Programming of packaging cycles is done on the interactive display.
Here, you can also display the individual parameters and edit their values. A keyboard appears for en-
tering data.
Vacuum generation with vacuum chamber
The vacuum generation unit and vacuum chamber form the central sub-assembly of the Vacuum Pack-
aging Machine. One or more vacuum pumps can be provided for vacuum generation to meet customer
requirements.
The vacuum chamber consists of the vacuum chamber lid (15) and the vacuum chamber bottom (13). A
lifting mechanism lowers the vacuum chamber lid onto the vacuum chamber bottom and raises it again
after vacuuming.

Vacuum Packaging Machine VC999 K7
Description of the machine
2008-11-26 Art.-No. 592.016 Page 17/121
Pre-perforation (24)
The pre-perforation ensures that unusually long bags which protrude from the vacuum chamber lid can
be easily processed. Due to the spring-loaded mechanism on both sides of the vacuum chamber lid, the
bag is pressed together by hold-down clamps when closing the vacuum chamber. The perforation blade
is subsequently released and pressed down onto the bag in the vacuum chamber. This results in small
bag perforations via which vacuum can be created in the bag.
Sealing device (24) with cutter blade (VC999 K7A) or perforation blade (VC999 K7B)
The sealing device consists of two sealing bars in the vacuum chamber lid and two sealing bars in the
vacuum chamber bottom. When the vacuum chamber closes, the upper and lower sealing bars are po-
sitioned opposite each other and pressed together for sealing.
The bag waste is either cut off by a cutter blade (VC999 K7A) or perforated by a perforation blade
(VC999 K7B) during the sealing process. The blades are located in the vacuum chamber lid next to the
sealing bars.
The bags are perforated (VC999 K7B) to ensure that the bag waste can be removed manually once the
bag has left the machine.
Conveyor belt (5)
The conveyor belt runs through the entire Vacuum Packaging Machine. A short run-out roller track (17)
at the end of this belt enables optional conveyor devices to be added on as required by the customer.
The integral initiator ensures that within a packaging cycle the conveyor belt moves far enough for the
packaging product laid between the markings (2, 4) on the feed belt to come to a stop exactly in the va-
cuum chamber.
The conveyor belt can be slackened by means of the tension lever (6) for cleaning and opened for dis-
mantling by removing the plastic wire on the cord at the joint.
Power supply (20)
The electrical (22) and compressed air (23) connections are located inside the machine on the rear wall
of the power supply cabinet (20). The power cable and the compressed air line are fed into the cabinet
from below. The cabinet also contains the compressed air maintenance unit.

tubes at the Vacuum Packaging Machine (Fig. 3/1, Pos. 12, 21)
as well as the suction blower (a) and the bag waste separator
(b).

3.2 Principle of operation
The product for packaging is put in a sealable plastic bag and fed in by conveyor belt from the work-
surface to the Vacuum Packaging Machine.
In the Vacuum Packaging Machine, the vacuum chamber lid lowers over the bag containing the product
for packaging and seals it with an airtight seal.
This produces a vacuum chamber. Unusually long bag parts which protrude from the vacuum chamber
are pre-perforated. The air is subsequently removed from the vacuum chamber and thus also from the
bag via the perforation. As soon as a preset vacuum has been achieved, the bag is sealed and the bag
waste in the vacuum chamber is either cut off by a cutter blade (VC999 K7A) or perforated by a perfora-
tion blade (VC999 K7B) outside the sealing zone.
When the vacuum chamber is then vented, the vacuum-pack bag clings closely to the product. The cut
off bag waste is automatically removed by the bag waste suction unit (VC999 K7A) when the vacuum
chamber is opened. If the Vacuum Packaging Machine is not equipped with a bag waste suction unit
(VC999 K7B), the perforated bag waste can be removed manually.
As vacuum generation and sealing of the bags take place, further bags can be placed on the conveyor
belt. This means that as the packed bags are ejected, new bags are being introduced into the machine
at the same time, so that the next packaging cycle can be started without any delay.
In order to make full use of the machine capabilities, the number of bags placed on the conveyor belt in
any one cycle should be the capacity between the markings (Fig. 3/1, pos. 2 and 4) on the work-
surface.
