5.
Press the REPROG button to activate the new parameter.
The function display will stop flashing.
6.1.6.5 Gas+ (optional)
The Gas+ option only applies if the machine is equipped with the gas option. For some products
it may be desirable to insert additional gas into the packaging to create a "balloon packaging".
This allows for a better protection of a fragile product. The recommended value for Gas+ is 0.7
seconds.
If the Gas+ option is enabled, a dot will appear in the bottom right of the program display. If the
Gas+ option is enabled, this will apply to all programmes for which gas has been set.
To enable the Gas+ option on your machine, please contact your supplier.
6.1.6.6 Liquid Control (optional)
The Liquid Control option can be enabled or disabled for each program. If the Liquid Control option
is enabled, the machine will vacuum until the maximum vacuum is reached (99%). If the product
reaches the boiling point before the maximum vacuum is reached, the machine will proceed to the
next step of the cycle.
1.
Press the PROG 0 – 9 button to select the program for which you wish to set Liquid Control.
2.
Press the REPROG button to select the programming mode.
The function display will start flashing.
3.
Press the PROG 0 – 9 button until H2O is shown on the parameter display.
The parameter display indicates H2O.
4.
Press the REPROG button to activate the new parameter.
The function display will stop flashing.
The Liquid Control function prevents excessive fluid from being drawn out of the product. This
means that if the product reaches the boiling point, the machine will proceed to the next step of the
cycle. Depending on the moisture content, the manner in which moisture is bound, the available
surface for evaporation and the temperature, the end vacuum percentage might be limited and
there might be too much residual oxygen content present in the package. If the product/process
requires packaging with a low residual oxygen content, despite the high moisture content, there are
two options:
1.
Lower the product temperature. This allows for a deeper vacuum to be reached before the
product reaches the boiling point.
2.
Use the Liquid option.
6.1.6.7 Liquid (optional)
The Liquid time is set in seconds. This is the time the vacuuming will continue after
detection of the evaporation point.
You can only set Liquid if Liquid Control has been set to the maximum. To set the Liquid
option, follow the steps below:
1.
Press the PROG 0 – 9 button to select the program for which you wish to set Liquid .
2.
Press the REPROG button to select the programming mode.
The function display will start flashing.
