9.11 Packaging cycle
9.11.1 Conveyor belt positioning
The integral initiator ensures that within a packaging cycle the conveyor belt moves far enough for the
packaging product laid between the markings on the feed belt to come to a stop exactly in the vacuum
chamber. A prerequisite for this is that the conveyor belt must be in a clearly defined starting position
before the packaging cycle.
As the belt position changes when the belt is slackened, it must be reset when the machine is switched
on again. This ensures that the product for packaging stops in the correct position right from the first
packaging cycle.
Conveyor belt positioning is triggered via the button
Start conveyor belt position in Mask 52: Test
function. For this purpose, read the relevant description of the mask functions.
9.11.2 Start / terminate packaging cycle
Make sure that the vacuum chamber is dry before starting the packaging process.

tion in section 9.10.2 "Load program".
