More advanced functions and options, such as Marinating, Liquid control, Tenderizing and Sequential vacuum, can also be programmed. The app enables you to define and set up to 20 programs on the machine. All you need is a Bluetooth connection. Easy to use and a great support for efficiency in everyday commercial kitchen logistics. Features • Define program names and labels • Control settings • (De)activate options and functions • HACCP logging • Wireless printer settings 20 Programs The VacAssist app has a maximum of 20 programs that can be defined and preset. The touch control panel on the machine displays the specific program you selected and the corresponding value of the pressure in percentages or in mbar, or the time in seconds. Options • Liquid control: prevents liquids from boiling • External vacuum adapter • Wireless thermal label printer with Bluetooth connection Functions • Red meat: reduces drip and air bubbles in the vacuum packed meat • Sequential vacuum: ensures the extraction of all trapped air from the food product. • Marinate: enables a full absorption of the marinade into the food product. Fit for food The VacAssist app is perfect for programming standard settings on your vacuum packaging machine in order to realise a maximal end vacuum (99.8%) for standard products, such as meat, fish, fruits and vegetables. However, this app also has some pre-set programs for specific products that you can further personalize, such as sharp products, ready meals, liquids and fluids, products with a lot of trapped air inside, and marinated products.
