Description and key features
1.1
Description
The Cryovac VS20 semi-automatic belt vacuum-packaging machine is designed for
packaging small/medium size industrial/consumer units of fresh red meat, processed
meat and cheese in Cryovac bags. It incorporates many novel features made possible by the latest advances in vacuum packaging technology. A typical example is
the VCS (vacuum control system) function for optimizing the vacuum cycle when
packaging wet and damp products. The possibility to run the machine in manual
mode allows the operator to make the most efficient use of the vacuum chamber.
Electricity and compressed air are the only two external services required.
The operator places the products on the internal conveyor (belt) and then presses
the start button, the chamber cover closes and the vacuum cycle begins. On finishing
the cycle, the vacuumized products are transferred onto the outfeed rollers.
Manual mode: The operator manually places the products in the vacuum
chamber then presses the start button to initiate the vacuum cycle.
Semi-automatic mode: The operator first places the products in the vacuum
chamber then presses the start button. The chamber cover closes and the
vacuum cycle begins. Whilst the products are being vacuumised and sealed,
the operator places packed products on the infeed conveyor. On finishing the
cycle the cover reopens, the vacuumised products exit the chamber, and the
packed products are transferred into the vacuum chamber by the motorized
infeed conveyor. The machine then stops and is ready for the operator to
press the start button again to repeat the cycle.
Automatic mode: On pressing the start button, the machine cycle is automatically repeated for a configured number of times (standard 10).
The machine is controlled by a PLC (programmable logic control) system which monitors and sequences each phase of the machine during operation. It incorporates 5
programmes, which have parameters that can be customised to suit particular
requirements. Programming is very simple and made via a soft touch control panel
and LCD display.
Construction is simple and robust. All critical parts are treated against the corrosive
environment often found in food production and packaging rooms. Designed with
ergonomics safety and hygiene in mind it is easy to use and clean, simple to maintain
with the possibility to remove the side panels. It meets all relevant European legislation for safety and hygiene.
If the VS20 has been fitted with the optional motorized infeed conveyor, three operation modes are available:
