10.2.2015

10. Further Explanation of Packaging Concepts

10.1. Sensor-Based Control

The actual air pressure in the chamber is measured by a sensor. The result of this measurement is digitally indicated on the LCD display.

Normal air pressure is about 1000 mbar. The vacuum pump of the machine reduces this to about 2-5 mbar. Depending on the program, the pressure by which certain functions need to take place can be programmed. Examples are MAP gassing and Soft-Air.

The air pressure in time-controlled machines is indicated by the analog vacuum gauge.

10.2. Time-Based Control

• The standard control of a One-Program machine, as well as a Ten-Program machine, is time-based

• The Ten-Program time based machine can be converted into sensor-based operation by ordering the optional sensor kit

A time-controlled machine is programmed with a time value in seconds, according to which a desired vacuum is reached. The vacuum measurement is indicated by the analog vacuum gauge. The reading of the analog vacuum gauge is less accurate than the digital reading of a sensor-controlled machine.

• The Ten-Program machine can be retro-fitted with a sensor kit at a later date. The control system recognizes the sensor and will automatically switch over to sensor-based operation

• In case the sensor should fail, the machine will automatically switch over to time-based operation

10.3. P H2O Program for Liquid Products

• Only for Ten-Program machines with sensor-based control

• Specially designed for the packaging of cooled liquid products like sauces and soups at temperatures

< 150C (600F)

Under normal air pressure (1000 mbar), water boils at 100o C. At that point, water transfers rapidly from a liquid phase to a gas phase. At lower air pressure, boiling starts at a lower temperature as well as rapid evaporation. To avoid product loss through evaporation and spillage, the P H2O program detects the point of boiling and initiatese sealing function in the cycle. Since air is replaced by water vapor at this point, the oxygen content in the package will be very low.

10.4. Vacuum Plus

(seconds)


• Can be turned on or off in the Settings menu

After reaching a programmed vacuum pressure, the sealing function may be delayed by adding a programmable number of seconds to the vacuum process. This enables any air to escape from porous products.

10.5. MAP Gassing

(option)



After reaching a programmed vacuum pressure, the package is filled with an inert gas, such as CO2, nitrogen, oxygen, or a mixture thereof. This feature is either time or pressure-controlled.

10.6. Sealing

The synthetic packaging material is melted shut by a heated sealing wire.

10.2.2015

single seal double seal clean cut & clean cut controlled two-sided seal

• Single Seal

Only for T2. The package is sealed with a single sealing wire

• Double Seal

All other machines are equipped with a double sealing wire

• Clean Cut Seal (CC Seal)

One of the two heated wires is used to score the package. This makes it easy to remove the excess packaging material. The package has one seal and a nicely trimmed edge.

• Clean Cut Controlled Seal (CCC Seal)

-Only for Ten-Program machines with sensor-based control

-Can be turned on or off in the Settings menu

Identical to the Clean Cut seal, with the only difference that the heating time for the scoring wire can be programmed independently. This improves control over the scoring process. Typically used for shrink bags.

• Two-Sided Seal

-Only for Ten-Program machines with sensor-based control

-Can be turned on or off in the Settings menu

The counter beam contains a sealing wire as well. Used for thick material or metallic packaging materials, requiring additional heat to seal the bags.

10.7. Extra Sealing Pressure

During the sealing process, the package is held in place between the seal beam and the counter beam. To assure a proper package seal, additional air pressure to the sealing beam may be beneficial (maximum of 1 bar), for instance during MAP gassing above 500 mbar.

• The M4-M8 and the D1-D6 models with the option Gas/MAP are standard equipped with a compressed air inlet. Otherwise it can be easily retrofitted.

• Extra sealing pressure is not necessary and not available for the Table-Top, M1,

M2, M3


10.2.2015

10.8. Soft-Air (option)



After the vacuum and sealing process, the chamber is aerated and brought back to ambient air pressure.

Since this happens quickly, the packaging material conforms to the product quickly as well. If the product has sharp edges, the packaging material may be punctured during this process.

With the Soft-Air feature, air is introduced into the vacuum chamber in a slower and controlled manner.

As a result, the packaging material gradually conforms to the product, thus avoiding damage. This feature is either time or pressure-controlled. Machines with a Ten-Program control system can be retrofitted with this feature.

10.9. Multi-Cycle



• Only in combination with MAP gassing

This option minimizes the amount of oxygen in the product. The machine vacuates and gases the package several times in a row, thus flushing air and oxygen from the chamber and the package.

This feature is used for delicate products that do not permit vacuation down to 5 mbar, while at the same time requiring a low oxygen content.

10.10. Cool-Down/Oil Dehumidification of the vacuum pump

During the vacuum process, moisture is removed from the product through evaporation. This moisture can be absorbed by the oil of the vacuum pump. Too much moisture in the oil will reduce the effectiveness of the pump. In addition, it will reduce the lubrication properties of the oil, affecting the longevity of the pump. Heat and ventilation will dissipate this moisture, for which reason it is important to let the pump run for some time at the end of production.

• Turn the machine off with the button and close the cover when the symbol starts blinking. The pump will continue to run for some time, before turning off automatically. This allows any moisture in the oil of the pump to evaporate

11. Maintenance

11.1. General

Regular maintenance prevents equipment malfunctions and prolongs the life of the machine. In addition, it optimizes sanitary conditions.

• Always have a certified Henkovac dealer carry out repair and maintenance activities

Warning

• During maintenance activities, always turn the machine off at the main switch and/or unplug it from the electrical outlet

Attention

Observe the recommended service intervals. Overdue maintenance may lead to costly repairs and overhauls, and may void the equipment warranty

• After reaching a programmed number of operating hours or packing cycles, the service symbol will briefly appear on the display when the machine is started up. In addition, the display will indicate how many hours or cycles remain before an oil change is required

• After passing the service limit, the display will indicate the negative number of excess operating hours or cycles

11.2. Vacuum Pump

To protect the vacuum pump, proper maintenance is important. Carry out the following tasks carefully:

• Check the vents and clean as necessary before turning on the machine to assure proper cooling of the pump

• When the air filter is saturated with oil, an oil mist may be expelled; replacement of the filter is required

• Use the cool-down/dehumidification feature. When turning off the machine and closing the cover

, the pump continues to run for some time. Any moisture in the oil of the pump will evaporate during this phase. This increases the longevity of the machine and minimizes the need for oil changes and pump maintenance

• Check the oil level regularly and add as needed

• Change the oil when the service symbol appears on the display

Note

After the oil has been changed, the service interval counters may be reset by pressing and holding the button for 5 seconds


10.2.2015

11.3. Adding and Changing the Pump Oil

Warning

The operating temperature of the pump is 70° C / 158° F or higher. Wear gloves when servicing the pump or let it cool off sufficiently to prevent injuries.
