6.2.5.7 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.
To set the Gas+ option, follow the steps below:
1.
Set the value of Gas in accordance with Gas (optional) on page 41.
2.
Enable Gas+. Use the cursor keys
▲
and
▼
to go to the value for Gas+ and press Enter.
3.
Set the desired value using the cursor keys
▲
and
▼
and press Enter.
4.
Press the cursor key
◄
to return to the menu.
5.
Close the lid to start the vacuum cycle.
6.2.5.8 Liquid Control (optional)
The Liquid Control option can be enabled or disabled for each program. If the product reaches the
boiling point before the set vacuum is reached, the machine will proceed to the next step of the
cycle.
To set the Liquid Control option, follow the steps below:
1.
Press the cursor keys
◄
and
►
and select the program Liquid Control.
2.
Press Enter to open the menu.
3.
If Liquid Control is not enabled, enable it. Press Enter and use the cursor keys
▲
and
▼
to turn
ON Liquid Control. Press Enter.
4.
Use the cursor keys
▲
and
▼
to go to the value for Liquid Control and press Enter.
5.
Set the desired value using the cursor keys
▲
and
▼
and press Enter.
6.
Press the cursor key
◄
to return to the menu.
7.
Close the lid to start the vacuum cycle.
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.
6.2.5.9 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 (99.8%). To set
the Liquid option, follow the steps below:
