Gas Flush System
Products which would be damaged by high pressure must be subjected to a lower
vacuum or the pressure must be counterbalanced by inflating the bag with inert gas.
The gas flush system is designed to remove the oxygen and replace it with a mixture
of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen to extend shelf life and provide a higher quality
product to the consumer. This is beneficial when packaging items that shouldn’t be
compressed. This includes but is not limited to soft fruits, dried foods, chips, pasta,
and pre-cooked meals. By adding a mixture of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen, the food
will stay fresh longer while keeping its original shape.
How To Use:
Consult your local authorized gas supplier for assistance in buying, regulating, and
connecting the gas to the machine.
Gas Fill Operating Instructions:
Connect the required gas cylinder, (complete with regulator), to the machine by hose.
The Regulator may never be set more than atmospheric pressure, approximately 14
psi. The appropriate level should be between 5 and 12 psi.
To add gas flush to the normal operating cycle, follow the operating instructions. If
there is no gas flush time set, there will be no gas flush in the process of sealing.
To use the gas flush add increments of .1 seconds to the timer. It may take several
adjustments to get the package to the desired fill level.
