5 Description
The vacuum packaging machine is intended for large
scale packing of products from the butchery or
food areas; it will do the work of two machines
alternately. The two completely equipped vacuum
chambers can be controlled independently of one
another.
Hygienic packaging of meat, sausage goods and
sauces. Even hot dishes e.g. meat with sauce can
be packed without delay.
Construction of the machine
The machine can be moved on 4 guide rollers, the two
front trolleys being lockable.
If the machine is equipped with an integral inert gas
system (optional) the gas cylinder (15) with control
valve (54) can be mounted in a bracket (17) at the back
of the machine.
Principle of Operation
The filled vacuum pack is laid with the opening flat
over the sealing bar. When the chamber cover is
closed the vacuum pump reduces the pressure in the
vacuum chamber. When the desired vacuum (as
programmed) has been reached the bag is sealed and
the excess bag material is separated.
When air is admitted to the vacuum chamber the pouch
fits closely to the packed product.
Compressed air can be used to increase the pressure
on the sealing bar. This is not of great importance for
machines without inert gas flushing, but is nevertheless
desirable for sealing folded bags.
By pressing the START key on one of the two control
panels the packaging cycle begins in one chamber. The
second vacuum chamber can be simultaneously started
on the other control panel, but here the processes of
evacuation/sealing/cutting are held back till the
packaging 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 be
packed without damage if they are treated with inert
gas. This protective medium (nitrogen/carbon dioxide,
mixed gas) is added to the pack to equalise the
pressure.
Note
Nitrogen & CO2 are present in the air we breathe. They
are harmless and need not be declared under
foodstuffs regulations.
