Chapter 6. Machine adjustment and setting up EN

1) VACUUM

It is possible to set a value from 0 to 99,9%. The recommended vacuum percentage is 99,9%. For other settings refer to the attached table. Scheduling of vacuum parameter is signaled through LED (9).

Food

Meat Cheese Grated cheese Fruit Jam and cream Soups Sandwiches Pasta Fish, shellfish Sausages cured meats

egetables

Fresh vegetables (salad, tomatoes)

2) EXTRAVACUUM

If the vacuum value is set to 99.9%, press button (4) to program the EXTRAVACUUM parameter indicated by the letter E in the last digit on the display. This value can be set to between 0 and 30 seconds. This the length of time that the pump continues to extract air from the hood after the machine has reached the programmed maximum vacuum level. This function is useful for porous products where it is particularly difficult to extract the air (e.g. meat). Note: if the programmed VACUUM value is less than 99.9%, the EXTRAVACUUM function is not displayed, and the system proceeds to the subsequent parameter (GAS).

3) GAS

It is possible to set a value from 0 to 99%. Such a parameter cannot be higher than the vacuum one, otherwise you will obtain an opposite function. Scheduling of gas parameter is signaled through LED (10). If the gas LED (10) is flashing, it means the gas cylinder is not properly connected and machine will not start. Connect it properly. Note: When scheduling a program “vac + gas”, the minimum residual vacuum percentage soon after gas immission should be higher than 60% Example: VAC 99,9% GAS 40% Residual vacuum (99,9 - 40)= 59,9%

4) SEALING

It is possible to set a value from 0 to 4 seconds. For the first working cycles it is recommendable to set a sealing time of about 1,6 seconds and then lower it to prevent the teflon tape from burning. Scheduling of sealing time parameter is signaled through LED (11).

The following table indicates the sealing time we recommend setting according to the type and thickness of the pouches.

6.1.4. Packaging

After selecting the program and setting the necessary variables, go ahead with packaging. Place the product to be packaged inside the pouch.

Place the pouch inside the tank and on the sealing bar in a way as linear as possible. Try to prevent the pouch from wrinkling. Wrinkles might negatively affect the hermetic seal formed by sealing. Pouches shall be at least 2cm beyond the sealing. If the “GAS” function is on, the pouch must be positioned with the strip open on the gas nozzle on one side of the sealing bar. Close the upper Plexiglas cover.

Model MV26 X: the packaging cycle starts when the cover is closed. Models MV31 X and MV35 X: Once the cover has been closed, press

the Start button (3) to run the packaging cycle.

Note: When the product dimensions allow, we recommend using some tables (13) as shimming the product facilitates positioning the pouch in relation to the sealing bar. Moreover, it allows decreasing the volume of the tank (14) and, therefore, the amount of air to be removed, speeding up the packaging cycle.

The packaging cycle is sub-divided into four phases:

1. Suction phase during which all the air contained inside the tank and the pouch is sucked. The LED is on (9).

2. Gas injection phase (if the machine is equipped with a gas plant). The LED is on (10).

3. Sealing phase during which the packet is sealed. The LED is on (11).

4. Air re-enter phase and subsequent opening of the cover. The LED is on (12). The tank will reach its atmospheric pressure and the upper cover will open again. Machine is ready for a new packing cycle.

If you press the Stop button (8), the machine will immediately stop sucking and automatically start sealing the pouch. This function will be used to pack liquid and hot products which may start boiling during the vacuum cycle.

6.1.5. Alarm messages

The electronic board detects a series of alarms that are indicated by the following messages, which appear on the display (5):

OIL: Check the level and colour of the oil, as described in the pump manual. To reset this alarm, press buttons (6) and (7) simultaneously. OFF: The electronic board is blocked.

Contact the technical service department.

EAA: The machine did not generate the vacuum within the defined maximum time (90 seconds). Check that the cover is closed correctly.

To reset this alarm, switch the machine off and on again. FLA: The power supply voltage is low. Contact the technical service department.

Chapter 7. Ordinary maintenance EN

7.1. Precautions for ordinary maintenance interventions

ORDINARY MAINTENANCE, MUST BE EXECUTED BY QUALIFIED STAFF APPROPRIATELY TRAINED.

7.2. Cleaning of the sealing bar

Use a dry cloth to remove any film residue on the sealing bar (16).

Before any routine maintenance switch the machine off by acting on the main switch and remove the plug from the mains socket. Disconnect gas plant.

7.3. Replacement of the Teflon and the sealing blade

Before replacing Teflon and the sealing blade wait for the machine to be properly cooled.

 Remove the sealing bar (16) from its seat  Remove the Teflon adhesive tape  Unscrew the nuts fastening the blades to each end of the

sealing bar

 Tighten the new blades. Make sure they are tout enough

before blocking them

 Use the Teflon adhesive tape to cover the sealing blades  Place the sealing bar into its seat.

7.4. Replacement of the cover gasket

When the cover gasket (17) is worn out, replace it. This will improve the efficiency of the machine and increase its speed rate. Replacement is very easy. After having removed the gasket which has worn out, clean its seat and insert the new gasket in a linear way. Make sure its ends are joined. Leave no opening which might prevent the product from being properly vacuum-packed.
