FUNTION
This chapter provides an overview of the process and the available machine
functions
For the functions H2O (H2O+), Gas (Gas+) and Seal 1-2 Cut-off, specific
components must be installed in your machine before they can be activated.
Please contact your supplier for more details
In chapter 5.5 you will find information on how to set the parameters to the correct
values
EXPLANATION (Only applicable to the Toucan series)
The External Vacuum option does not apply
On a Toucan Regular the vacuum bag is placed on the plateau in an upright
position. The height of this plateau needs to be set in such a way that the seal is
placed on the correct position of the vacuum bag
A Toucan Square features a mold for block bags. In this mold only the specific
size of the bags can be used, for which the mold is designed
In a Toucan square you should first place the vacuum bag in the mold before

Preparations
The operator puts the product in a vacuum bag and
places it on the work top with the opening on the
seal or contra bar
2
Extracting vacuum
The vacuum process is started by closing the lid
Depending on the options you have chosen for your
machine and the product you are packaging, the
following functions are available
FUNCTION
ICON
Vacuum
During the cycle, the air will be removed from the
chamber until the set time has been reached
Extracting vacuum to a set value is only possible
with a sensor control (optional for Digital Control
(DC). This value can be set in %. The percentage
indicates the depth of the vacuum. The pressure of
the outside air hereby is 0%. In the Advanced
Control System (ACS), the value(s) indicated in
mbar, hPa or %
Vacuum+
Available if the vacuum percentage is set to
maximum
Vacuum+ is an option that adds additional time to
the vacuum to create the possibility to let any air
escape that is still within the product
Vacuum+ is only possible in combination with
sensor control
Gas
(optional)
After extracting the vacuum, a gas is injected into
the chamber and the vacuum bag. This is to create
a modified atmosphere to protect the shape or to
increase the shelf life of the product. The value of
the gas function can, depending on the control type,
be set in %, mbar or hPa
Gas+
(optional)
Gas+ is an option that adds additional time to the
gassing to increase the amount of gas in the
package (see 5.5.1.2)
The following steps are taken during the process. For the detailed procedure, see Chapter 5.

STEP
PROCESS PHASE
OPERATION
FUNCTION
ICON
Liquid Control
(optional)
Available with the optional Liquid Control Sensor
The principle of the Liquid Control function is that it
is a system that is controlled by a highly sensitive
sensor. The sensor is able to detect the moment
that liquids from the product or the product itself
begin to vaporize (boil). At that time, the system will
switch to the next step in the process. This will
prevent the product from drying out, lose weight
and/or splash out of the vacuum bag and thus
contaminating the seal, the chamber and the oil in
the pump (see 5.5.1.3)
Liquid Control+
(optional)
Available with the Liquid Control option
The Liquid Control+ function allows you to proceed
with the vacuum process for a certain time, after the
evaporation phase has been reached
Red Meat
(optional)
This function is specifically designed for packaging
of fresh meat. It is added to the normal vacuum
function to prevent degasification of the product
during the sealing phase. This degassing can
cause bubbles and causes droplet formation in the
package. (see 0)
Sequential
vacuum
(optional)
Sequential vacuum makes it possible to exchange
the vacuum process with pauses, so that the
trapped air in a product will have the opportunity to
escape. In total, up to 5 steps can be programmed.
This function is available in machines with
Advanced Control System (ACS)
Multi-cycle
vacuum
(optional)
With multi-cycle it is possible to gradually extract
vacuum and use gas. With this the oxygen content
is reduced as well
This function is available in machines with Multi
Program Digital Control (MPDC) (see 5.5.1.5)

Sealing
The seal bars are pressed against the contra bars,
with the vacuum bag in between and melt the bag
to be closed
FUNCTION
ICON
Seal
During the sealing, the material of the vacuum bag
is heated and compressed to form a hermetic
sealing. The function is programmed in seconds
As an option, a cutting wire is available. The
purpose of this wire is to remove the remaining foil
from the excess flap. Depending on the chosen
model, the cutting wire is controlled simultaneously,
or independent from the normal seal wire (Seal 1-2
cut-off)
4
Releasing vacuum
The vacuum is released, by letting air back into the
chamber
FUNCTION
ICON
Soft air
(optional on
Falcon)
This makes it possible to let air flow back into the
chamber slowly, so that the vacuum bag slowly
forms itself around the product. This prevents sharp
edges on the product to damage the foil and
possibly cause leaks

Open vacuum chamber
The lid opens

Remove the product
The operator can remove the packed product from
the worktable

2.1.2. General Functions
FUNCTION
ICON
OPERATION
Cleaning the pump
The pump cleaning program allows for a proper flushing of the
pump. During the program, the pump and the oil will reach the
operating temperature, so that the oil and the fluid will be
separated and that any contamination is filtered. The high
temperature takes care of evaporation of moisture in the pump,
which reduces the risk of corrosion
Menu
This feature is available on machines with Advanced Control
System (ACS)
Menu is used to change the machine settings, such as language
and printing options
Print
This feature is available on machines with Advanced Control
System (ACS)
With this function one or more labels can be created per cycle
which can be stuck on the bag
The following information may be listed on the label: name of the
manufacturer, product name, production date, shelf life, used
gas, vacuum reached, the initials of the user and the
recommended storage temperature
External vacuum
This feature is available as an option depending on the machine
type
With this function vacuum can be applied to special food
packaging gastronorm containers outside the machine
The possibilities for adjusting the vacuum value are equal to the
standard vacuum (see 5.5.1.6 MPDC of 5.5.2.3 ACS control)

2.2. The seal system
FUNCTION
The seal system closes the opening(s) of the bag(s) to maintain the vacuum
and/or gas inside
The remaining flap can optionally be cut off by the seal bar
NO.
PART
DESCRIPTION
SECTION
1
Seal bar
The seal bar consists of the following components
Seal wires: the sealing wires are heated for a
certain period of time so that the open side of the
vacuum bag will melt together during the sealing
Cutting wire (optional): a cutting wire is heated in
such a way that the foil of the bag partially melts
so that the top flap of the vacuum bag can be
torn off easily
Teflon-tape: sealing and cutting wires are coated
with Teflon tape to prevent the bag to stick to the
seal bar
Refer to the indicated section for detailed information
on maintenance
6.6
2
Silicon holder
Opposite to each seal bar a silicone holder is mounted,
which provides counter-pressure on the cylinders / seal
bag
6.7
3
Seal mechanism
The seal bars are pressed on the vacuum bag by
using cylinders or seal bags
By connecting the outside atmospheric pressure to
the inlet of the seal bags / cylinders, they will press
the seal bar on the bag

5.6. Directive for function values
EXPLANATION
For each function, values can be set if you are authorized as the owner. In order
to understand the impact of the set value the table below explains the
consequences of giving a low or high value for each function
FUNCTION
RANGE
CONDITIONS
Vacuum
2-700 mbar
30-99.8%
Rule of thumb: the higher the vacuum, the less oxygen
remains in the package, so the product has a longer shelf
life. There are exceptions to this rule
Vacuum+
0-20 sec
This is the time that vacuum continues after the maximum
vacuum is reached. This is to let the entrapped air escape
from the product. Note: Vacuum should be set to the
maximum
Red Meat
2-700 mbar
30-99.8%
Rule of thumb: the higher the vacuum, the less oxygen in
the package so that the product has a longer shelf life
Liquid Control
2-700 mbar
When the pressure decreases, the boiling point of water is
reduced. This physical law can cause the product to boil.
In addition to contamination of the machine, this provides
loss of weight and quality of the product to be packed. By
enabling the Liquid Control feature this special sensor will
detect the evaporation point and ensures that the program
will continue with the next step in the packing process.
The value to set is the maximum achievable vacuum level.
Please note that this vacuum value is only feasible as long
as the product does not boil
Liquid Control+
0,1-5,0 sec
This is the time that vacuum continues after detection of
the evaporation point. Due to the evaporation, a small
shock wave may occur that will press all the remaining air
out of the bag. The best way to determine the right time is
by trial and error to determine the optimal value
Sequential vacuum
2-700 mbar
30-99,8%
When the value for vacuum+ time is not effective enough
to let the trapped air escape, the sequential vacuum
function must be turned on. In a maximum of five steps
vacuum will be alternated with a hold period. Each step
provides a higher vacuum than the preceding step
Seal time
1-2 cutting time
0,1-4,0 sec
This is the time in which the seal wire and/or cutting wire
is heated. The longer the time, the more heat is being
transferred to the bag

FUNCTION
RANGE
CONDITIONS
Soft-air
1-20 sec
The length of time in which air is introduced to the
chamber after sealing. The best way to determine the
correct time is by trial and learn by mistakes
Cleaning of the pump
15 minuten
There are no settings possible
ATTENTION!
The vacuum pressure in the chamber should be at least 30% at the time of sealing
EXPLANATION
When the pressure decreases, the boiling point of water is reduced (see Figure
14). This physical law can cause a product to boil. In addition to contamination of
the machine, this provides for loss of weight and quality of the product to be
packed
When packing products that contain moisture such as soups and sauces, it is
important to follow the vacuum process closely. At the moment that bubbles are
formed or it starts to bubble, immediately proceed to the next step in the cycle
(see section 5.3)
By cooling the products as much as possible, before applying vacuum, a deeper
vacuum can be achieved
If a machine is equipped with a liquid sensor option, the control automatically
goes to the next step when boiling occurs
When packaging moisture containing products, it is important that the
conditioning program is run at least 1 time per week. With daily vacuuming of
moisture containing products, it is recommended to run the conditioning program
at the end of the day

6.3. Oil cleaning program
EXPLANATION
The oil cleaning program will let the vacuum pump run for 15 minutes.
During the program, the pump and the oil will reach the operating temperature.
The oil absorbs fluid in the pump. The high temperature ensures that the moisture
evaporates in the pump and reduces the risk of corrosion
If you pack moist products, such as soups or sauces, it is necessary to use the oil
cleaning program more often than the prescribed interval of once a week
NO.
WHAT TO DO
ACTION

EXPLANATION
If the machine will not be used for long periods of time, the oil should be removed from
the pump. This is because any moisture and dirt in the oil can affect the pump,
causing the pump to jam at the next use
