When AirOut = 98.9% or lower, you can defi ne a Hold time.
The Hold timer will start once the AirOut value has been
reached.
When AirOut = 99%, you can defi ne a Plus time. Plus will
keep the vacuum pump running for the set time to achieve
the maximal vacuum possible, having the tiniest air pockets
being pulled out of your product.
Use the SofAir settings when vacuum packaging formed
products, beef patties, product with bones, shellfi sh in the
shell, and sausages.
We recommend the settings Air Return = 10%, and Pause =
1.0s, however you may adjust these settings to fi t your needs.
This setting will let the air return to the chamber in 10% steps
preventing ruptured sausage casings, squished product, and
holes in the bag from bones.
