The Berkel 350 and 350D models are outstanding tabletop vacuum packaging machines. They are engineered to satisfy most mid - to high - volume needs in foodservice portion control, product storage, and food retail. These machines feature a roomy stainless - steel chamber, a powerful and high - quality pump, and either a single 19 - inch (double on the 350D) seal bar that offers a high - integrity double seal with an electric cut - off. Both models come with an anaerobic gas flush function. This helps maintain the product's color in the vacuum package, extends its shelf life, and can create a pillow - pack seal to safeguard the product. They are easy to operate and maintain. The tabletop models have a stainless - steel housing and a single chamber measuring 20 inches (508 mm) in width, 18 inches (457 mm) in depth, and 6.8 inches (172 mm) in height. The 350 model has a single 19 - inch (485 mm) seal bar, while the 350D has two 19 - inch (485 mm) seal bars, providing reliable double sealing with electric cut - off. They are powered by a strong 21 m³/h Busch pump and have a vacuum dial gauge. The 1 - speed, 1¼ H.P. motor has totally enclosed, permanently lubricated ball bearings and is thermally protected. The 350 model operates at 115/60/1, 14.2 amp, AC and is ETL listed, and the 350D operates at 115/60/1, 20.0 amp, AC and is also ETL listed. There is a variable vacuum setting with a new vacuum sensor. The gas flush allows for the addition of an anaerobic gas mixture and can create a pillow - pack seal. The vacuum cycle takes 25 - 35 seconds. The simple - to - use electronic touch - pad controls can store up to 30 programs. It comes with a 6 - foot, flexible, 3 - wire cord and plug for a grounded receptacle.

Using the Berkel 350D vacuum packaging machine is a breeze. First, place the product you want to package inside the chamber. Close the lid gently. Then, use the touch - pad controls to select your desired settings. You can choose the vacuum level, and if you need, set the gas flush option. Once you've made your selections, press the start button, and the machine will start the vacuum cycle, which takes about 25 - 35 seconds. When the cycle is done, the machine will automatically seal the package. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Always make sure the machine is plugged into a grounded receptacle using the provided cord and plug. Do not overload the chamber beyond its capacity. Avoid touching the seal bars while the machine is operating to prevent burns. For maintenance, regularly clean the chamber with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Check the pump and vacuum dial gauge periodically to ensure they are working properly. Also, keep the touch - pad controls clean and dry.
