5 Description

The vacuum packaging machine is intended for largescale packing of products from the butchery or non-food areas; it will do the work of two machinesalternately. The two completely equipped vacuumchambers can be controlled independently of oneanother.

Hygienic packaging of meat, sausage goods andsauces. Even hot dishes - e.g. meat with sauce - canbe packed without delay.

Construction of the machine

The machine can be moved on 4 guide rollers, the twofront trolleys being lockable.If the machine is equipped with an integral inert gassystem (optional) the gas cylinder (15) with controlvalve (54) can be mounted in a bracket (17) at the backof the machine.

lg. L

Principle of OperationThe filled vacuum pack is laid with the opening flatover the sealing bar. When the chamber cover isclosed the vacuum pump reduces the pressure in thevacuum chamber. When the desired vacuum (asprogrammed) has been reached the bag is sealed andthe excess bag material is separated.

When air is admitted to the vacuum chamber the pouchfits closely to the packed product.

Compressed air can be used to increase the pressureon the sealing bar. This is not of great importance formachines without inert gas flushing, but is neverthelessdesirable for sealing folded bags.

By pressing the START key on one of the two controlpanels the packaging cycle begins in one chamber. Thesecond vacuum chamber can be simultaneously startedon the other control panel, but here the processes ofevacuation/sealing/cutting are held back till thepackaging cycle is complete in the first chamber.

Standard Equipment- A maximum of 30 packaging programs- Microprocessor programming control- Automatic regulation of the set parameters- Chamber volume can be increased or decreased- Error warning on control panel

Integrated Inert Gas System (optional)Pressure-sensitive products like sausages etc. can bepacked without damage if they are treated with inertgas. This protective medium (nitrogen/carbon dioxide,mixed gas) is added to the pack to equalise thepressure.

NoteNitrogen & CO2 are present in the air we breathe. Theyare harmless and need not be declared underfoodstuffs regulations.

10.3.2 Equipping Vacuum Chamber for Solid Productl Equip the vacuum chamber with filling plates (20)

corresponding to the product being packed.l With high items only remove as many filling plates

as are needed to enable the cover (14) to be closed.

NoteThe vacuum chamber must be dry. Take care that thereis no liquid between the filling plates (20), since thisprevents a good vacuum.

10.3.3 Equipping Vacuum Chamber for LiquidProduct

l Place the inclined insert (24) in vacuum chamberand adjust the stop (25) to the product so that theliquid level in the bag is at least 20 mm below theseal pad (38). If this is not properly done, liquid mayspill during evacuation, causing a faulty seal andperhaps getting into the vacuum pump.

NoteHave products as cool as possible for packing. Thehigher the temperature of damp products, the lower theattainable vacuum due to evaporation.Excessive vaporisation can be controlled by using thevaporisation stages (see Heading 11, Programming).

1 OS.1 Intermediate release of pressure

For products which even when processed by themethod of “evacuation to vaporisation” are difficult topack due to foam forming on the surface of theproduct, intermediate release of pressure is a possiblesolution.In this method the bag is laid on the product beforesealing and foam formation is thereby inhibited.

10.6 Intervention in the Packaging Cycle

NoteThe interventions described affect only the cycle justfinished and have no effect on the values you haveprogrammed in - these remain unchanged in thestorage.

The following interventions during packaging canbe undertaken with keys UP (6) and DOWN (7)

-when evacuating

As long as the UP key (6) is held down theaction of the vacuum pump continuestill the key is released.

With DOWN key (7) the pump isimmediately stopped and the cycle ended.

-when gas flushing

While the UP key (6) is held down thegassing remains switched on, even if thevacuum falls below the set value - the gascontent increases.

With DOWN key (7), gassing is endedir$rmm~~~e,bythe(cq%$-r), and the cycle

-when partially releasing vacuum

While the UP key (6) is pressed the partialrelease of vacuum remains switchedon, even if the vacuum falls below the setvalue.

El With DOWN key (7) immediate halt to partialrelease of vacuum. Cycle continues to theend.

11 .I Programming the Packaging Program

The internal data storage has space for 30 packagingprograms.

These are two program groups:

Standard programs: For the meat trade

Customer programs: Programs suppliedthe customer

Standard Programs

by

A definite number (1 to 13) of the 30 packagingprograms are standard programs. Here the individualprogram values (parameters) are entered by theoperator, based on his experience with differentproducts. These values may be optimised or changedby the customer.

>z= See p.25Setting up the packaging programs.

When a standard program is called up the displayshows the program number and the correspondingproduct name e.g. “Fresh Meat” - Base setting

The standard programs have been assembled for ameat processing operation.

Customer’s ProgramsIn customer’s programs the operator does not set anyof the program values (parameters). The values aresupplied by the customer when the standard programsare not adequate.

If desired the VC999 Customer Service can carry outthis work.When calling up a customer’s program the programnumber and settings are shown on the display - BaseSetting 2

>> See p.25Setting up the packaging programs

NoteEnter altered standard programs and supplied customerprograms in the corresponding program schedules(Headings 11.2.10 to 11.2.11)

11.2 Set Values for Packaging Programs

11.2.1 Method of Obtaining a VacuumFour different methods of obtaining a vacuum areprovided for. The setting determines which of the four,described below, is used.

In order to hold the lid in the closed position a minimumfixed programmed vacuum is produced in every case,enough to give a loose pack of the product for a settingof 500.999 o/o0 corresponds to the maximum attainablevacuum.

>> See p.25Setting up the packaging programs.

As a check and to safeguard against a possible defectin the electronics it is advisable to enter the programdata in the accompanying program schedule.

>> See Heading 11.2.10, 11.2.11Standard and Customer Programs.

The vacuum is given on the display in parts perthousand (o/00). With a dry chamber the machineachieves a maximum vacuum of 999 o/00.

11.2.2 Evacuation to a Set Value- for dry products

Evacuation is continued until the set target value(between 500 and 999 o/00) is reached.

A lower minimum vacuum of 500 o/o0 can be set in theservice program by the VC999 Customer Service.

11.2.3 Evacuation to the Evaporation Point- for moist, possibly warm products

This is shown on the display with a ‘V’ before the setvalue.

With this method of obtaining a vacuum, evacuation iscontinued until the moisture present in the vacuumchamber or the product being packed has evaporated.The vaporisation point depends on the producttemperature (moisture content); the colder the product,the better the vacuum.

Incorporating the corresponding sensitivity tovaporisation prevents evacuation being stopped assoon as the vaporisation point has been reached. If,for example, the sensitivity to vaporisation isprogrammed at 10, the evacuation time after reachingthe evaporation point is increased by 10 sec. Thisenables a higher vacuum to be reached, despite theevaporation. However, during this time a corresponding

22 Operating Instructions Vacuum Packaging Machine Type VC999Q 04i

W999@ Programming ,

amount of moisture is drawn from the product beingpacked, an outcome which may not be entirelydesirable. For this reason the sensitivity to vaporisationis continuously adjustable from 0.03 to 10 seconds.

0.03 = max. sensitivity to vaporisation10.0 = min. sensitivity to vaporisation

NoteThe vacuum is only as good as the pump - maintain thepump regularly!

11.24 Evacuation in Stages to a Set Value- for sensitive and porous products

With these products there is a danger that they maydisintegrate (explode) if pressure is reduced tooquickly. Step-by-step reduction in pressure begins at500. Then further evacuation takes place from the levelof vacuum reached and the value is held for the halfinterval. This is repeated till the set value is reached.

11.2.5 Evacuation for a Fixed TimeThis method of obtaining a vacuum can be used incertain cases - e.g. when the measurement of vacuumis faulty. Instead of measuring the vacuum, evacuationis continued for a fixed time.

This method of evacuation is only available when it hasbeen activated by the VC999 Customer ServiceRepresentative in the service program.

11.2.6 Gas Flushing SystemProducts which will not take a high vacuum or have tobe preserved may be protected by injecting inert gasbefore sealing. This also preserves the natural colour(an integrated inert gas system is optional).After drawing a vacuum the gas valve is opened till theresidual vacuum falls to the set value; sealing thentakes place.

NoteA setting of 999 o/o0 inactivates the gassingmechanism.

II .2.7 Sealing and CuttingThe sealing and cutting times as programmed refer tosealing bar at working temperature. To obtain the bestsealing, independent of working temperature, a sensormeasures the temperature of the sealing bar. Thesealing and cutting times are corrected automatically.

During sealing and separation, the pre-set

TARGET times and to the right of them thecorresponding ACTUAL times, expressed in seconds,appear on the display.

SealingCutting

Target Actual1.8 1.92.8 2.9

11.2.8 Partial Release of VacuumThe possibility of slow partial release of vacuum isutilised to attain a crease-free fit of the bag, or to packsensitive products.At a setting of e.g. 500 0100 the partial release valveremains open to a residual vacuum of 500 o/00. Thenthe main valve opens.

NoteAt a setting of 999 o/o0 the partial release isdeactivated.

11.2.9 Program SchedulesThe fixed program settings mentioned here andavailable in the machine are based on experience.

A10Bearing in mind product liability,check if your products with the planselected fulf i l the food hygienerequirements. If required you mustuse the maximum attainable vacuumand a gas injection (integrated inertgas system is optional)
