1.3 Intended use

This machine is a technical piece of equipment to be used exclusively
for production purposes. Use the machine only to package products
in prefabricated film pouches. The film pouches are closed with a seal
seam.
For specifications see "Technical Specifications".
Any other use is considered improper and can endanger persons, the
product and the machine.
1.3.1 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

The machine has been designed for use in residential, business and
industrial areas (without a separate power substation, it can be con-
nected directly to the public mains). Operation can be impaired when
used in an industrial environment.
1.4 Foreseeable incorrect use

The following work methods are not in accordance with regulations
and therefore are prohibited:
• Operating in an atmosphere capable of explosion.
• Packing of highly flammable, combustible or explosion-prone
products.
• Packing of dust-forming or powder-forming material.
• Gas flushing of film pouches with explosive gas mixtures (e.g.
oxygen proportion over 21 %).
• Aseptic packing of products.
Info
Misuse will exclude any liability on the behalf of the manufacturer.
In such a case, the operating company is solely responsible.
23.03.2010 11
Safety
Warning of incorrect use
1.5 Warning of incorrect use

• Incorrect use
For example: sealing times that are too short or too long and there-
fore result in improperly sealed packs which in turn damage the
product.
• Neglecting the following work tasks:
– Inspections.
– Cleaning work.
– Maintenance work.
• Use of third-party parts, i.e. parts that are not genuine MULTIVAC
spare parts.
• Operation under impermissible environmental conditions.
1.6 Residual risks

The safety instructions in this manual serve as guidelines for trained
machine operators so that they can work safely with the machine.
The manufacturer cannot however foresee all possible product-
related hazards. This is why the safety instructions and warnings on
the machine and in this manual cannot be considered exhaustive.
The operating company and machine operators are ultimately re-
sponsible for safety.
1.7 Obligations of the operating company

The machine and operating materials are a potential source of haz-
ards. The operating company is required to draw up a directive that
explains how to handle dangerous machines or operating supplies.
The required information can be found in the following documents:
• The EC directives for occupational safety.
• National legislation.
• Accident prevention regulations.
• This manual.
The operating company is also responsible for issuing directives for
conduct in emergencies.
The operating company is required continuously to monitor the tech-
nical condition of the entire machine, for example:
• Visible defects or damage
• Changes in the operating behaviour
Info
Do NOT start up the machine if there are visible defects!
12 23.03.2010
Safety
Obligations of the operating company
1.7.1 Selection of personnel and personnel qualifications
Injury hazard!
Ignorance of proper machine handling is very dangerous.
WARNING Improper handling can lead to serious injuries.
¾ Instruct personnel regarding how to handle the machine cor-
rectly.
¾ Assign only instructed and qualified personnel.
¾ Trainees or other persons receiving instructions may only oper-
ate the unit under the constant supervision of an experienced
specialist.
¾ Observe the legal minimum age for personnel.
¾ Delegate responsibilities.
¾ Inform operating personnel about measures for avoiding hygi-
enic risks.
¾ Have clearly written instructions available for operating person-
nel. If necessary, order a manual from the manufacturer in the
respective official language.
¾ Only qualified electricians are permitted to work on the electrical
equipment.
¾ Service operations and repair work should be carried out by
authorised specialists only.
1.7.2 Personal protective gear

The operating company must ensure that machine operators wear the
required personal protective equipment (foot protection, head gear,
gloves, etc.) in accordance with the applicable national guidelines. In
Europe, the directive 89/656/EEC specifies the minimum mandatory
use of personal protective gear.
1.7.3 Specific dangers

The operating company must check whether specific dangers are
present during operation, for example, dangerous vapours. The oper-
ating company must take any measures required to avoid or, if not
possible, to limit danger.
1.7.4 Measures for avoiding hygienic risks

A high standard of hygiene is achieved through design, choice of ma-
terials and workmanship. It is imperative that this high level of hy-
giene be maintained by each operating company. Particularly when
packaging foods or medically sterile goods, the current valid hygiene
standards must be strictly observed. Before taking the machine into
operation, your safety/health officer must clarify which regulations
(laws, directives, standards etc.) apply to the product that is to be
packed and how they can be put into practice.
23.03.2010 13
Safety
The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any warranty

claims and damage claims of any kind resulting from insufficient hy-
giene and insufficient cleaning.
Health hazard!
Insufficient or sporadic cleaning can promote the growth of micro-
WARNING organisms which can change unfavourably the product that is to be
packed.
This can severely damage the health of people, especially of the
consumers.
The following measures are therefore necessary, considering that
the enumeration is not final:
¾ Create a company cleaning directive.
¾ Perform cleaning regularly.
¾ Check the effectiveness of cleaning procedures on a regular
basis.
¾ Follow instructions in the chapter "Cleaning".
1.7.5 Gas supply stop valve

The operating company is required to provide the machine with a stop
valve for the gas supply. When the stop valve is closed, the supply of
gas to the machine is shut off.
1.7.6 Checking the packs
Health hazard!
Faulty or damaged packs can have far-reaching consequences, for
CAUTION example, spoiled products.
Spoiled products can pose a health hazard.
¾ Check packs on a regular basis during running operation.
¾ Do NOT bring faulty or damaged packs into circulation.
Info
It is the operating company's responsibility to determine the overall
testing procedure.
Test procedure
Depending on the type of film used and the demands placed on the
packs, various types of tests are available, e.g.:
• Checking seal seam width.
• Visual inspection (visual assessment).
• Storage test (storing “good packs” for a defined period and then
re-inspecting).
• Stacking test (stacking “good packs” on top of each other for a
defined period and then re-inspecting).
14 23.03.2010
Safety
• Checking the seal seam strength with a tensile testing machine.

• Low-pressure test (for vacuum packs).
• Measuring the residual oxygen (for gas-flushed packs).
A leaky pack can result from the following errors:
• A leaky seal seam.
– The packing material is dirty in the seal seam area.
– The sealing time is too short.
• Damage on the pack.
– Sharp-edged products piercing through the pack.
Time of inspection
The pack always requires inspection at the following times:
• Initial putting of the machine into operation.
• A defined period has been reached in running operation.
• A different pack size was used.
• Other types of film or other film thicknesses were used.
• Spare parts or parts subject to wear were installed.
• A machine malfunction was resolved.
• Settings were made on the machine.
1.7.7 Pump protection function

After the machine has been switched off, the vacuum pump remains
running for a set time. During this time, the undesirable liquids in the
oil of the vacuum pump evaporate. This increases the life span of the
vacuum pump. When packaging moist or liquid products, the operator
is obligated to perform this function at least once a day (e.g. at the
end of a working day). The manufacturer assumes no liability what-
soever for any warranty claims and damage claims of any kind result-
ing from insufficient performing of this function.

Penetration by liquids will damage the vacuum pump.
¾ Immediately cancel the evacuation procedure when liquids are
suctioned.
1.8 Machine labels

Safety and information labels have been attached to the machine.
• Do NOT remove these labels.
• Make sure all labels are intact and legible.
• If necessary, clean the labels with soap and water.
– Do NOT clean the labels with solvents.

Cleaning
6 Cleaning
Info
Observe the safety instructions, see Section 1 "SAFETY".
Clean the machine after maintenance work and repairs and disin-
fect if necessary.
6.1 Notes on cleaning
6.1.1 Rules of conduct

The objective of the cleaning work is to avoid hygienic risks. If the
cleaning is insufficient or not performed properly, this may result in
contamination of the products and thus to health hazards for end
consumers. Assign only instructed and qualified personnel. Informa-
tion on qualifications and training can be obtained from the service
department.
The ability to handle materials effectively and efficiently depends on:
• Using the proper dosage of care products.
• Observing the contact time of the care products.
• Proper temperature of the mixing water.
Data sheets for the care products can be obtained from their manu-
facturers. The manufacturers also provide information on the maxi-
mum permissible dosages for food processing.
6.1.2 Creating a company cleaning directive

Specify the following points:
• Required cleaning intervals.
• Care products to be used. Care products, refer to "Care products
table".
• Using the proper dosage of care products.
• Persons in charge of cleaning.
• First aid measures.
6.1.3 Measures for ensuring a long service life

Highly acidic or alkaline cleansers that contain chlorine create
strong vapours.
These vapours cause corrosion.
¾ Do NOT use any care products that contain chlorine or are
highly acidic or alkaline. Also, do NOT use such care products
to clean the machine surroundings.
¾ Observe the specifications of the care product manufacturers.
46 23.03.2010
Cleaning
Notes on cleaning

Acidic cleansers are caustic.
These can cause plastics to become brittle and age prematurely.
¾ Do NOT shorten the cleaning intervals for acidic cleaning and
disinfection.
Regular and correct maintenance prolongs the life of the unit. The
best protection against harmful influences is to clean and disinfect the
machine on a regular basis. The longer product residue and other
aggressive deposits remain on the unit, the more harmful their corro-
sive effects will be.
If used incorrectly, care products can damage components made of
rubber or plastic. Before applying care products, please take time to
read the notes and warnings provided by the manufacturer.
6.1.4 Parameters for pre-rinsing and after-rinsing water

• Low pressure of max. 4 bar to 6 bar (58 psi to 88 psi).
• Do not rinse with steam jets or high-pressure cleaners.
• Fan nozzle: 5 ° to 15 ° inclination, approx. 3/16 '' nozzle opening.
• Temperature: max. 60 °C (140 °F).
• Quality of after-rinsing water: drinking water quality.
6.1.5 Handling cleansers
Chemical burn hazard!

Acidic cleansers are caustic. Caustic effects are not noticed imme-
WARNING diately.
Contact with the skin can cause burns.
¾ Wear the prescribed personal protective gear when handling
cleansers.
¾ Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
• For type of cleander refer to the "Care products table".

• The quantity of cleanser is not the decisive factor for successful
cleaning.
– Applying amounts in excess of the proper dosage does not im-
prove or accelerate cleaning efficiency, but only hinders the re-
quired rinsing off of the cleanser.
• Dried cleanser residues make cleaning more difficult and pro-
longed.
– Even smallest residues can inhibit the effect of the disinfection.
– Check by measuring the pH factor of the re-rinse water.
• Regular checks of cleaning (i.e. by contact tests) reduces the risk
of product contamination.
23.03.2010 47
Cleaning
Notes on cleaning
• Insufficient cleaning cannot be compensated by duplication of the

concentration of the disinfection agents.
6.1.6 Use with disinfectant
Fire hazard!
Alcohol-based disinfectants are highly flammable.
WARNING Fire, naked light or smoking ignites the disinfectant and can thus
cause fires.
¾ When disinfecting the machine, flames or naked lights are pro-
hibited.
¾ Smoking is prohibited.
¾ Observe the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer.
Health hazard!
Incorrect use of disinfectant can contaminate the product with
WARNING chemicals or decrease the effectiveness of disinfection.
This can pose serious health hazards for consumers.
¾ Follow the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer.
¾ Only rinse after disinfection if required by disinfectant manufac-
turer.
¾ Observe regional hygiene regulations.
¾ Create a company cleaning directive.
• For type of disinfectant refer to the "Care products table".

– For water-sensitive components only use alcohol-based disin-
fectant.
– For all other components use for example QAV based disinfec-
tant (quartenary ammonium compound).
6.1.7 Corrosion protection and lubrication
Health hazard!
Excess lubricants can accumulate at lubricating points.
WARNING Excess grease has no lubricating function; however, it can breed
micro-organisms and contaminate the product.
¾ Check the lubricating points regularly for excess lubricants.
¾ Remove any excess lubricants.
48 23.03.2010
Cleaning
Notes on cleaning

Residues of cleansers and disinfectants produce corrosion.
Corrosion can destroy the machine.
¾ After every cleaning, including cleaning of the surroundings
(floor, adjacent machines, etc.), thoroughly rinse with water of
drinking water quality or clean by hand.
• Kind of anti-corrosion agent, refer to "Care products table".

• Only use H1 or FDA-approved lubricants and anti-corrosion agents.
• Checking the microbiological stability of the anti-corrosion agent
and lubricants regularly helps reduce the risk of product contami-
nation.
6.1.8 Cleaning devices
Health hazard!
The cleaning devices will spread germs if they are not cleaned often
WARNING enough.
This can cause cross contamination, which will damage the prod-
uct.
¾ Use only brushes and brooms that have plastic bristles.
¾ Clean the cleaning equipment daily and apply disinfectant af-
terwards.
6.2 Cleaning the machine

Info
• The recommended daily cleaning tasks recommended here must
be supplemented by the intensive cleaning procedure according
to the degree of dirt.
• Cleaning personnel must be instructed for the cleaning work by
the operating company.
• The sequence of the described tasks is to be exactly followed.
• For all cleaning work, follow the safety instructions.

Automatic If the function Automatic is set, the machine will reach the optimum
evacuation time and pressure depending on the product.
Automatic sensitivity Determines the evacuation time and the evacuation pressure
reached when evacuating with the Automatic function. The sensitiv-
ity is adjustable from 1 to 10. The lower the sensitivity, the lower the
value of the evacuation pressure reached.
Cooling down Sealing Value for the cooling down time of the seal seam. The vacuum in the
chamber and the sealing pressure are preserved for this amount of
time. The seal seam can harden. The sealing is switched off during
this time.
Cycle time The display contains the times of the individual procedures of the
last packaging procedure.
Delayed ventilation - The ventilation of the chamber begins with a delay after sealing.
Sealing
Distribution time - Switching interval between the completed evacuation process and
evacuation the beginning of the gas flushing process. During the distribution
time remaining air pockets in the products can escape before the
package is sealed.
Distribution time - Gas Switching interval after the gas flushing process, during which the
flushing gas can distribute itself in the the film pouch.
Evacuation pressure Is the pressure from which the film pouch and the chamber are
evacuated. Pressure is measured in the chamber.
Fill diaphragm During this time sealing pressure is applied to the sealing dia-
phragm.
Gas flushing pressure Indicates the pressure until the film pouch is filled with inert gas.
Pressure is measured in the chamber.
Gas flushing time Indicates the amount of time for which the film pouch will be filled
with inert gas. Pressure is not influenced by this.
Hours of operation Shows the time the machine has been operating. The counter be-
gins to count as soon as the machine is switched on and can not be
reset.
Machine cycles Counts the number of complete machine cycles. The counter can be
modified and reset. It is used to control the quantities produced.
MCV duration During this time the set vacuum is maintained during the MCV proc-
ess (Pressure value + threshold).
MCV threshold If the pressure value set here is exceeded during the MCV process,
post-evacuation takes place automatically.

Glossary
Post-evacuation time This time extends the evacuation process. Through this, the reached
evacuation pressure is lower than the set value. This time begins,
when the set pressure is reached. Suitable for damp products.
Rinsing time, gas During this time the vacuum valve and gas valve are opened simul-
flushing taneously. On one side of the chamber a vacuum is created, on the
other side gas is supplied. The film pouch is thoroughly flushed with
gas. This reduces the residual oxygen content.
Sealing time During this time the film pouch is sealed. The sealing time depends
on the particular material and thickness of the film pouch.
Sealing time max This time determines the maximum value for the sealing time.
Settings - Production Shows all currently set target values.
