5. CONTROL PANEL

MyChef iSensor packaging machines consist of an LCD display and a rotary encoder with a central button.

Do not clean the screen surface of the packaging machine with liquids containing

alcohol, solvents, acids or detergents that may damage the screen surface and affect its visualization.

Figure 1. LCD Screen with the whole segments

Each zone contains a series of icons and text elements that describe at all times the state of operation of the packaging machine and allow the user to interact with the machine, changing the packaging parameters to suit each use. The role of each of them is explained below:

The LCD display is structured in three main zones:

- The left zone or operating mode zone(A in Figure 1)

- The central zone or zone of vacuum percentage level and error indicator (B in Figure 1)

- The right zone or status zone (C in Figure 1)

Table 1. Control board indicators, displays and buttons

6. CALIBRATION

6.1 Self Calibration system SCS

The iSensor tabletop and floor-standing packers have a fully automatic calibration system, Self Calibration System (SCS), patented by myChef. As a result of this automatic recalibration algorithm of the vacuum percentage, we have the following advantages:

 Calibration without user intervention

The vacuum packer automatically detects optimal calibration conditions and can be calibrated autonomously based on the following physical changes:

 Automatic adaptation to temperature variations  Automatic adaptation to climatic variations  Automatic adaptation to height variations  Automatic adaptation to changes in oil properties.

The machine is capable of detecting both increases and decreases in the differential pressure of the atmosphere, recalibrating accordingly.

 Greater accuracy in vacuum measurement

When calibrated constantly and automatically, the values used to calculate the vacuum percentage are dynamically updated. Therefore, the percentage of vacuum selected by the user has a lower error than if calibration was not performed dynamically.

7. OPERATION

7.1 Powering and switching on the machine

When the machine is turned on, a start-up process takes place where all internal values are initialized and safety and control checks are carried out to ensure optimum control of the packaging. This will be displayed on the screen with all segments flashing simultaneously for a few seconds.

During this blinking, technical control parameters can be called up by pressing the encoder button. These parameters may be relevant for maintenance purposes. Specifically, it will show two parameters:

- Vacuum pump operating hours.

- Number of vacuum cycles performed.

The first value displayed is the operating hours of the vacuum pump. This will be identified by the "Vacuum" icon, which will light up in the right-hand block of the screen. The digits of the number will be shown on the central display cyclically by marking the end of the digits with an "H". For example, if the pump motor has been running for 20991 hours, the display will show:"2 - 0 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 1 - H", looped.

Figure 2. Display of vacuum pump operating hours

By pressing the push-button while the number of pump operating hours is displayed, the filler will go on to show the number of complete vacuum cycles it has completed. The value will be displayed using the same method, changing the "H" that identifies the end of the number of operating hours to a "C" for packaging cycles. In this case the value will be identified by the "Repeat" icon.

Figure 3. Displaying the number of vacuum cycles performed

Press the central button again to finish displaying this value and continue the machine start process.

Once the packaging machine is connected and the initialization process is completed (whether or not the status values of the pump are consulted), it will be switched off, waiting for the user to switch it on to start working.

The machine can be switched on in three different ways:

- Using the encoder push button.

- Rotating the encoder in any direction.

- Opening the lid.

Any interaction will start it in automatic mode so that with only one more movement of the lid it can start to pack.

¡WARNING! The Manufacturer shall not be liable for any injury to persons or animals and damage to components resulting from improper use and not in conformity with the machine.

7.2 Inert gas injection

In some foods, it may be interesting or advisable to use antioxidant gas to improve the preservation of the same or also mixtures of gas to avoid crushing the packaged product. This option is available with all myChef iSensor vacuum packers’ machines

The following is a description of the precautions to be taken into account when carrying out vacuum packaging in a protective atmosphere:

 NEVER USE FLAMMABLE GASES OR MIXTURES IN WHICH THERE IS TOO MUCH

OXYGEN, THE OXYGEN CAUSES THE FLAMMABILITY POINT OF THE MATERIALS TO DROP AND THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION.

 THE INSTALLATION MUST BE DONE BY A SPECIALIZED TECHNICIAN.  GAS TANKS MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED.  THE GAS OUTPUT PRESSURE OF THE PUMP SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1 bar BECAUSE A

HIGHER PRESSURE MAY DAMAGE THE COMPENENTS OF THE PACKAGING MACHINE

 ONCE THE LAST GAS OPERATION HAS BEEN MADE, CLOSE THE STOPCOCK OF THE GAS

TANKS.

 TO CONNECT THE GAS INPUT TO THE PACKAGING MACHINE A FLEXIBLE 10mm

ØINTERIOR TUBE THAT SUPPORTS PRESSURE AND SECURES THE CONNECTOR WITH A METALLIC FLANGE WILL BE NEEDED TO BE CONNECTED.

7.3 Operating modes

ISensor packers have three different operating modes: Automatic mode, Manual mode and Self-Cleaning mode. The operating mode is selected by rotating the encoder until the corresponding icon is highlighted in the left menu of the LCD screen.

7.3.1 Automatic mode

The automatic mode of operation is designed so that the user can pack perfectly and efficiently without having to configure any parameters. This mode performs a complete packaging cycle without the need for monitoring: it produces vacuum in the pouch by controlling the vacuum percentage with the intelligent iVAC algorithm, seals it hermetically by regulating the seal duration with the iSeal algorithm and automatically recovers atmospheric pressure in the chamber.

Figure 4. Automatic mode.

MyChef patented iVAC control algorithm automatically detects and completes the vacuum process depending on the type of food and its conditions. It is particularly suitable for the packaging of porous foods and liquids as it prevents them from boiling and overflowing out of the bag.

On the other hand, the iSeal algorithm regulates the sealing time of each cycle to avoid overheating in the bar and thus avoid burning the bag. This allows the bar temperature to be adjusted to each seal, extending the service life of all bar components and guaranteeing perfect seals regardless of the number of cycles previously performed.

To start it, just select the automatic mode by rotating the encoder and lower the cover once the "AUTO" icon is on.

7.3.2 Manual mode:

The manual mode allows the user to fully control the packaging parameters and access special features such as repeat vacuum cycles or extra sealing times.

Figure 5. Manual mode.

Once the "MANUAL" icon has been selected, the "PROG" icon at the bottom left of the screen will light up and the digit next to it will indicate the selected program. By default this will be 0. By pressing the button, the program icon will blink, allowing you to select the different programs when rotating the encoder.

This mode is organized in 10 packaging programs, from 0 to 9. These allow you to configure packaging parameters for a specific purpose such as making marinades or vacuuming products with bones or pieces that may damage the bag. The programs allow you to save these parameters and load them quickly every time you want to pack with the same characteristics. These values do not have to be edited and entered each time, making it easy to perform specific packaging processes multiple times over.

To edit the parameter values, press the encoder button with the selected program to be modified. On the right size of the LCD screen, the icon related to the parameter to be modified will start flashing; for example, if the vacuum level to be reached is changed, the "VACUUM" icon will start flashing (later all the parameters and their relationship with the LCD screen icons are presented). Then by rotating the encoder, you can modify the parameter value and pressing it again saves it and jumps to the next value to be set. This process will be repeated until all parameters are modified and saved, returning to the manual mode starting point.

If you want to use a previously configured and saved program without editing any options, you can close the cover once you have selected the program in question. The packaging machine enters the manual vacuum cycle according to the parameters stored in the memory without any modification or confirmation of each value.

Figure 6. Parameters that the user can modify

All parameters are described below in configuration order:

- Vacuum percentage:

This parameter sets a vacuum value per cent, once this value is reached the pump will switch off and jump to the next state. Once the value "Int" has been selected, the vacuum percentage control is delegated to the iVAC algorithm explained in the automatic mode. The icon that identifies it is the "VACUUM" icon.

- Vacuum extra time:

The extra vacuum time marks a time in seconds during which the vacuum pump is kept turned on. This bonus is used to guarantee vacuum in very porous foods. For proper operation this time can only be set when 100% vacuum is selected. The icon that identifies it is the "EXTRA" icon.

- Gas percentage:

This parameter determines the value of the percentage of gas with which the chamber will be filled. This value is conditioned by the percentage of vacuum selected in the previous parameter; The vacuum level minus the gas level must be at least 50%. The icon that identifies it is the "GAS" icon.

- Sealing time:

This time value specifies the seal time of the bag. It marks the duration of electrical contact on the sealing bars and must be adjusted to each type of bag. In order to know the ideal time it is recommended to consult with the bag supplier. As in the selection of the vacuum percentage, selecting the "Int" value delegates’ control of the sealing time to the iSeal algorithm that will regulate this time automatically. The icon that identifies it is the "SEALING" icon.

- Atmospheric pressure recovery mode:

This parameter allows the selection of 3 types of air inlet:

1. FAST: The atmospheric pressure recovery in FAST mode allows the air to be blown in

by opening the inlet valve until the atmospheric pressure inside the chamber recovers. It is the quickest and most suitable way in most cases.

2. SOFT: The pressure recovery in SOFT mode allows the air to enter intermittently,

controlling the deformation of the bag. This mode is useful for slowly restoring atmospheric pressure so that the packaged food is properly molded to the pouch and preventing sharp objects from breaking it.

3. STOP: This mode allows the pump to stop at a certain vacuum value by pressing the

encoder button or until it reaches the value determined by the vacuum percentage parameter. The vacuum packer will hold this vacuum until the button is pressed again. This process can be useful for marinating meat or fish or for extracting air from sauces.

The icon that identifies it is the "AIR" icon and selecting each type of recovery is done using the icons below it: "FAST","SOFT" and "STOP".

- Repeat multiple vacuum cycles:

It is possible to program series of repetitions of the same vacuum cycle, i. e. it allows the vacuum to be carried out and the atmospheric pressure in the packaging machine to be restored cyclically. In each repetition, the packer reaches the vacuum value set in the "Vacuum percentage" parameter. If this is 100% and an extra vacuum time is set, this time is also completed within each repetition. The atmospheric pressure inside the chamber is then recovered. This recovery is not fully completed as a small percentage of vacuum is kept in the chamber to avoid opening the lid, allowing another repetition to start automatically.

This process will perform as many repetitions as defined in this value, with a maximum of 9. The icon that identifies it is the "REPEAT" icon and the digit below it marks the number of repetitions remaining.

The gas injection is compatible with the cycle repeat mode, although it should be noted that the gas will be injected only at the last repetition, in the same way that it is injected when sealing is performed.

7.3.3 Autoclean:

When the oil in the vacuum pump has become whitish due to water condensation, this can be removed with this mode. This process helps the water in the oil to evaporate due to temperature.

These water particles can cause rust particles to appear in internal pump components.

 Every 200 vacuum cycles, the vacuum packer will alert the user to perform a self-cleaning

process. This will happen when the machine is connected or switched on. If the lid is closed during this period the "AUTO-CLEAN OIL" process will start automatically.

If you don't want to do the AUTOCLEAN at the time of the warning, you can rotate the encoder to navigate through the menu and perform the cycle of your choice.

An AUTOCLEAN cycle can be performed whenever desired by entering the AUTOCLEAN mode manually in the operating mode selection menu. The maximum duration of the AUTO-CLEAN mode is 20 minutes, although it can be stopped by pressing the encoder button.

7.4 Packaging

In order to pack a product, the bag (suitable for vacuum packaging) must be placed correctly on top of the polyethylene plate, the entire bag width must be above the sealing area. Make sure that there is no product on the sealing bar. Then lower the lid of the packaging machine. It is important to remember that a packaging process cannot be started while the manual mode parameters are being set.

NOTE: It is recommended to use the safety latch on each packaging cycle, at this point the active mode or program is started and the indicators of the processes to be carried out

(vacuum, extra vacuum, gas injection, sealing, progressive air inlet, repetitions) are illuminated continuously:

- The vacuum process (VACUUM) extracts the air from the chamber and the central

display shows the percentage of vacuum achieved so far.

- The vacuum plus process (EXTRA VACUUM) keeps the vacuum pump running during

the programmed seconds. This is used to extract air from very porous food. The

central display shows the elapsed seconds.

- The gas injection (GAS) fills the chamber with the percentage of gas specified in the

program. The percentage of gas entered is also shown on the central display.

- The seal consists of three phases. The first is the lifting of the cylinders. During this

phase, the fixed value of the sealing duration in seconds is shown in the central

display. The second is resistance heating. In this phase the SEAL display will

progressively decrease from the previous value. The third phase, which lasts five

seconds, is the cooling of the bag and in it the SEAL display increases progressively up

to 5.0 seconds.

- The last phase is the recovery of atmospheric pressure (AIR). The display will show the

percentage of vacuum in the chamber decreasing. During this phase, the selected type

of atmospheric recovery will also illuminate; SOFT or FAST.

The active process is signalled by the associated indicator light. Once the process is complete, the indicator will turn off.

If repetitions of packaging cycles (REPEAT) have been set up, they will be done at the start of packaging. The "REPEAT" icon will light up and the "VACUUM","EXTRA VACUUM" or "AIR" icon will also light up, depending on whether vacuum in the chamber, extra vacuum time or atmospheric pressure is being recovered. Each time a repetition is made, the digit below the "REPEAT" icon will decrease its value until it is passed to the last packaging cycle.

All processes except pressure recovery in the vacuum chamber can be cancelled by pressing the encoder button while running. This will take you to the next step in the cycle until you reach the air inlet where it will end.

If the vacuum is not correctly performed, the machine will display an error (see 8).

3-minute rest periods are recommended between cycle.

Due to automatic checks the machine can be turned off to avoid serious failure. Switch it on normally.

In case of an error in the packaging machine, please contact the technical service.

9. MAINTENANCE

After any handling for cleaning, maintenance or repair, the equipment must be disconnected from the mains supply.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service department or similarly qualified personnel in order to avoid danger.

9.1 Cleaning

Clean the vacuum packer regularly and carefully.

Cleaning the packer with high pressure cleaning equipment is HARMFUL to the equipment and could result in breakage of the equipment and could result in loss of the bottler's WARRANTY.

For the stainless steel housing, use a cloth dampened with water and detergent.

The lid must be cleaned with a cloth dampened with water and neutral detergent. DO NOT USE ANY LIQUIDS CONTAINING ALCOHOL, ACID, DETERGENTS, SOLVENTS OR EQUIVALENT FOR CLEANING THE LID.

Failure to comply with these instructions may cause the lid to break and will result in loss of warranty on the lid.

Carry out periodic oil level checks, possibly complete if necessary, respecting the maximum and minimum levels.

Use the type of oil recommended by the manufacturer of the vacuum pump (depending on the model).

An oil in good condition must have a transparent colour. If it becomes white, this means that it has acquired water due to condensation of the sucked in humid air, which would mean that it has lost its characteristics and needs to be replaced.

The oil may also acquire a darker shade because it has sucked in dirt, which would mean that it has lost its properties and needs to be replaced.

The vacuum pump used by this equipment is not designed to operate in extremely cold or extremely hot environments. Operating temperature range 12/35°C.

9.3 Welding bar

Periodically check the condition of Teflon adhesive tape and sealing tape. These must be in perfect condition and without knocks.

9.4 Lid gasket

Periodically check the condition of the sealing gasket on the cover. This one has to be in perfect condition.

10. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

10.2 Changing the pump oil

Caution: Before disassembling any components, make sure that the equipment is disconnected from the mains supply and the inert gas connection.

Material required for oil change:

 Material: Synthetic food grade oil SAE 10 VSL32 (table-top models ") Synthetic oil

SAE 30 VSL 100 (Floor standing models).

Illustration 2. Oil replacement kit

 Tools:

o Allen screwdriver 3. o Universal wrench.

10.2.1 Table top models

Step 1Unscrew the two rear screws

Unscrew, with the aid of the Allen key 3, the two screws on the back of the sides (Do not disassemble the two front screws, the bowl pivots on them). Once these two have been removed, loosen the central screw on the back with the same screwdriver (it is not necessary to remove it completely).

(Only loosen)

Step 2  Opening of the hinged system

Like the hood of a car, lift the rear of the packer until it stops.

Step 3  Open the cap to drain the pump

Illustration 5. Remove the oil drain plug

Using a universal wrench remove the oil drain plug from the pump.

Place a container under the hole so that the oil drains into it and does not contaminate the floor of the packer.

Illustration 6. Oil drain

When all the oil has come out, put the cap back on.

Step 4  Open the oil filler cap.

With the help of the universal wrench we open the oil filler cap and, helping us, from a funnel we pour the oil to the maximum of the packaging machine.

Illustration 7. Remove the oil filler cap and refill with new oil.

The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX limits indicated by the sight glass on the pump.

Step 5  We close the filler oil cap

With the help of the universal wrench we close the oil filler cap and proceed to reverse process to leave the machine operational.

10.2.2 Floor standing models

Illustration 8. Remove the 6 screws at the back

Illustration 9. Position of the drain plug

Position of the 6 screws

Drain stopper

Step 1: Unscrew the 6 screws at the rear with the Allen key 3.

Step 2  Remove the back cover and locate the pump.

Step 3  Open the cap to drain the pump

For the standing models, all pump plugs are located on the rear side as shown in Illustration 9.

Once the emptying plug has been located, proceed as in step 3 of section 10.2.1.

Step 4  Open the oil filler cap.

For models with 20 m3/h and 40 m3/h pumps, the fill plug is located at the top of the pump, while for 63 m3/h and 100 m3/h models, the plug is on the right side just above the oil sight glass.

Now with the help of a funnel we fill the pump until the oil level is between the MAX and MIN marks that appear as a reference in the oil sight glass.

Step 5  Close the oil filler cap

With the help of the universal wrench we close the oil filler cap and proceed to reverse process to leave the machine operational.

Step 6  We close the back of the packaging machine

With the help of the Allen wrench we replace the rear cover and the oil change will be complete.

10.3 Other maintenance operations

Other maintenance operations, such as changing the oil filter, must be carried out by qualified technicians or by your dealer or service personnel.

10.4 Owner’s liability

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE. IT MUST BE POSSIBLE TO CHECK THAT THE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT.

If the vacuum packing machine is subjected to harsh conditions, such as low temperatures (below 12-15°C) or frequent short operating periods, checks must be carried out more frequently.
