Falcon 52 floor-standing chamber vacuum machine

The Falcon 52 floor-standing chamber vacuum machine is made with a deep aluminium chamber and an aluminium lid with a viewing window. We recommend considering it for packaging tasks where the height of the product and comfortable positioning of the pouch are important factors. The stand-alone floor-standing design makes it possible to create a well-organised loading and finished-goods handling area around the machine.

A 235 mm high chamber

The working space measures 500 × 520 × 235 mm, and the two side seal bars are 520 mm long each. The actual size of the pack must be checked together with the pouch allowance. With filler plates, the working level of lower products can be adjusted so that the pouch opening can be arranged in the right place. For tall or irregularly shaped goods, it is advisable to examine where the film runs around the product and whether enough free material remains for sealing. Besides the chamber depth, the direction of the seal bar also influences how the pack can be inserted.

Aluminium working space, stainless steel housing

The stainless steel outer housing is combined with an aluminium vacuum chamber and an aluminium lid. The window in the lid helps observe the process. The seal bars are located in the lid, and the silicone counter-bars can be removed for cleaning. The care method must be matched to the material of the surface concerned, especially when choosing cleaning agents and mechanical cleaning. Pouch preparation can also support the cleanliness of the machine: only tidy packs that are clean on the outside should go into the chamber, and no product should get onto the sealing area.

A version to suit the pouch and the product

Sealing can be agreed with several solutions, such as double seal, seal/cut-off or wide seal. For special tasks, a two-sided Bi-active system can also be chosen; whether it is needed is determined by the pouch material. Time control or sensor control and program management can be set up for the work. With a gas flush version, the gas mixture suited to the product must also be specified. Soft-air shapes the end of the operation by controlling the air returning to the chamber. The functions are best tested together, on your own pack.

Installation and daily work organisation

The external dimensions of the machine are 695 × 682 × 1060 mm, and the nominal capacity of its pump is 63 m³/h. It requires a 400 V three-phase connection. Choose the location of the machine taking into account lid opening, the direction in which the product moves and the access needed for cleaning. The pump maintenance program supports care. The actual work rate is also determined by preparing and removing the packs; a well-designed set-down area and a clear inspection point are an important part of the machine's usability.

To choose the Falcon 52, please send us the largest dimension of the product, the planned pouch structure and a description of the required seal. Based on this, we will examine the usability of the chamber and the necessary sealing version. The aim is a configuration in which positioning the pack and daily care of the surfaces are a well-planned part of production work.

Technical features

General features

• Floor-standing chamber vacuum packaging machine
• Stainless steel outer housing
• Aluminium vacuum chamber
• Aluminium lid with glass window
• Easily removable silicone counter-bars
• Seal bars mounted in the lid
• Chamber depth adjustable with filler plates

Packaging functions

• Vacuum: optimum final vacuum 99.98% (0.2 mbar)
• Gas flush: the injected gas protects the product from mechanical damage and significantly extends its shelf life
• Soft-air: controlled ventilation, i.e. slowed evacuation and air return, which prevents soft products from being crushed

Sealing options

• Double seal: 2 x 3.5 mm convex sealing wires remove moisture and provide double protection
• Seal/cut-off: 1 x 3.5 mm convex sealing wire + 1 x 1.1 mm diameter round wire
• Delayed cut-off: 1 x 3.5 mm convex sealing wire + 1 x 1.1 mm diameter round wire. The outer round wire can be set to stay heated for longer, so shrink vacuum pouches can also be handled
• Wide seal: 1 x 8 mm flat sealing wire
• Bi-active sealing: 1 x 5 mm flat sealing wire both in the vacuum chamber and in the lid. This makes it possible to seal vacuum pouches thicker than 200 µm as well as aluminium triplex pouches.

Control functions

• Digital control: time control / automatic programming / 10 programs
• Sensor control: setting the vacuum and gas flush pressure values ensures accurate, consistent packaging quality / automatic programming / 10 programs / extra vacuum time

Other functions

• The STOP button interrupts the program partially or completely at any time
• Dedicated vacuum pump maintenance program in the control / operating hours counter / service indicator / standby mode, etc.

Options

• Special insert for packing liquids
• Maintenance service kit
• Special control options for custom configurations
