5.3 NOTIONS ON THE POSSIBLE OPERATIONAL METHODS
The foodstuffs must be prepared previously inside the relative vacuum bags (for cooking or preservation) or inside the
rigid containers for vacuum packing ("vuoto box").
The bag or the container, is positioned inside the vacuum chamber, inside which the evacuation of the air takes place and,
when vacuum pack bags are used, also the sealing of the same.
5.3.1 OPERATING VACUUM USING VACUUM BAGS (§ 7.4.1)
× 1
.
Storage vacuum cycle. The vacuum level is high, the air inside the bag is removed totally. The
total duration of the cycle is about 40seconds, but it depends on the volume of the product and the number
of fillers inside the vacuum chamber.
× 2
.
Cooking vacuum cycle. The vacuum level is the high level. The air is removed both around and
from the heart of the product, in a way to obtain a uniform transmission of heat from the outside to the
heart of the product in the successive cooking phase, inside a steam oven, of the foodstuff packed in the
relevant cooking bag. The total duration of the cycle is about 60seconds, but it depends on the volume of
the product and the number of fillers inside the vacuum chamber.
PA/PE bags are used in the storage vacuum cycle and OPA/PP bags for vacuum cooking cycles. Whenever the suc-
cessive cooking of the food stuff is envisioned in a steam oven inside the packing, the use of bags in OPA/PP specific
for cooking is indispensable. Therefore, with OPA/PP bags the foodstuffs can be stored and cooked, with PA/PE bags
they can only be stored.
5.3.2 OPERATING VACUUM USING VACUUM CONTAINERS (§ 7.4.2 and 7.4.3)
Used for rigid vacuum packing containers and resistant to the high vacuum level (containers in thick glass,
professional vacuum packing containers).
The vacuum cycle ends pressing the STOP button.
5.3.3 OPERATING VACUUM USING VACUUM CHANNELED BAS OUTSIDE THE VACUUM CHAMBER (§ 7.4.3)
EVOX 25 / EVOX 25 H allows operating the vacuum in vacuum channeled bags, positioned outside the vacuum
chamber using the "Easy 160" accessory supplied. Doing so, we can vacuum foodstuff exceeding the vacuum
chamber size.
The vacuum cycle ends with the bag sealing, by pressing the SEAL button.
5.3.4 SEALING TIME ADjUSTMENT
