Operation
Sequential Vacuum
(optional)
This function is only available on machines with the ACS.
With sequential vacuum, you can alternate vacuum and
pause steps to allow air trapped inside a product to escape
from the core. A maximum of 5 steps can be programmed.
Multi-Cycle Vacuum
(optional)
This function is only available on machines with a 10-PCS.
The Multi-Cycle Vacuum option allows you to vacuum and
insert gas in steps. This provides an additional reduction in
the oxygen content.
Marinating (optional) This function is only available on machines with the ACS.
This function is especially designed to accelerate the marin-
ating of a product. This program allows definition of up to 5
vacuuming steps with intermediate ventilation steps.
The vacuuming steps have a fixed vacuum value of 80%, ex-
cept for the last step. The last vacuuming step has an ad-
justable value of up to 99.8%. This also allows setting Vacu-
um+. The intermediate ventilation steps have a fixed value of
42 %. After the last step, sealing takes place.
Liquid Control: It is also possible to enable Liquid Control.
This function will then only be active during the last vacu-
uming step. If, for instance, 3 vacuuming steps have been
defined, Liquid Control will be active during the third step.
is also possible here; however, this would be a Li-
quid setting of 0.1 sec with a maximum of 5.0 sec.
Tenderising (option-
al)
This function is only available on machines with the ACS.
This feature has been designed to keep the chamber at a
pre-determined vacuum level for a certain time. This is done
to tenderise or degas the product.
During the cycle, the air is removed from the chamber un-
til the pre-set value has been reached. Once this value has
been reached, the chamber will remain at this vacuum level
for the pre-set time.
