Operating SOP

1. Pre-operation checklist

• Sealing bar clean — residue causes weak seals
• Vacuum pump oil level checked — below minimum damages pump
• Gaskets around chamber intact
• Test pull — chamber door closes and seals fully

2. Start-up procedure

1. Place filled pouch in vacuum chamber — pouch mouth correctly over sealing bar
2. Close chamber lid FIRMLY

3. Operating steps / parameters

1. Place filled pouch in vacuum chamber — pouch mouth correctly over sealing bar
2. Close chamber lid FIRMLY
3. Press start — machine evacuates air then heat seals automatically
4. Wait for cycle to complete — DO NOT open mid-cycle
5. Check seal on first 3 pouches: press firmly 10 seconds — air reentry = seal failure — reseal

4. Shutdown procedure

No separate shutdown step stated on the source card; follow the post-operation checklist.

5. Cleaning / sanitation

• Wipe sealing bar with dry cloth
• Check pump oil level
• Log: product | pouches vacuum-packed | any seal failures

6. Safety / PPE

• NEVER vacuum pack wet or high-moisture products — damages pump
• Do not place hands inside chamber during cycle — high negative pressure

7. Troubleshooting

Vacuum not reaching full level (gasket or pump service) | Sealing bar not heating uniformly (element check) — call supervisor

8. Preventive maintenance

Routine prevention is embedded in the pre-operation and post-operation checks; no separate time-based preventive-maintenance interval is stated on the source card.
