4 Description of the Machine

This section provides an overview of the main components and functions. If detailed information is
available in this manual, you will be referred to the specific sections.

4.1 Overview of the Main Components

The figure below shows the main components of the system. The model shown may differ from
your machine.

Figure 1: Overview of the Main Components

1. Lid

The lid closes the vacuum chamber during the application of the vacuum. A rubber is mounted
in the lid to ensure proper closing. Silicone holders are mounted in the lid as counter beams of
the sealing bar(s).

2. Vacuum chamber

The products to be packaged are placed on the work surface with the openings of the vacuum
bags on the sealing position.

3. Seal system

Depending on the model, one or two sealing bars are mounted in the vacuum chamber. These
close the vacuum bag.

4. Control panel

This serves to operate the available control functions.

5. Machine housing

The machine housing contains all the components necessary for the functioning of the
machine.

Description of the Machine 12

6. Vacuum pump

The vacuum pump creates the vacuum.

7. Power connection and cable

This serves to connect the machine to the power supply.

8. Circuit breaker

The circuit breaker protects against overload or short circuit.

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 Programme Settings on page 22 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
20 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

3. Sealing

4. Decompressing The vacuum is removed from the vacuum chamber by letting

The vacuum process is initiated by closing the lid.

During the cycle, the air will be removed from the chamber
until the set vacuum percentage or time has been reached.

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.

air into the chamber.

4.2.2 General Functions

Function Pictogram Operation

Cleaning of the
oil pump

External
Vacuum

The pump cleaning programme ensures that the pump is
thoroughly rinsed. During the programme, 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.

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

23).

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.
