The VFFS vacuum packaging machine is a solution that combines the inherent advantages of vertical packaging with those of vacuum packaging.
Creating an effective preservation method that is particularly used to preserve the organoleptic qualities and properties of the product.
The process involves the elimination of excess air resulting in a hermetically sealed package. Oxygen thus does not come into contact with the product until the package is opened. This allows the creation of an effective barrier effect against external agents.
In the following article we will analyze:
Vacuum packaging is just one of the methods used to preserve and extend the shelf-life of packaged product.
Along with this we find in fact other methods such as modified atmosphere packaging and skin packaging.
Extending product shelf life and proper storage are the common denominator of all these processes.
Atm packaging can be achieved by using different packaging technologies.
This involves, alongside the removal of excess air, the insertion of an inert gas mixture.
The most common include carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen and argon. In different amounts and proportions, depending on the characteristics of the product.
Skin packaging, on the other hand, involves both vacuum and heat sealing. We find the use of shrink wrap while the bottom is made of plastic or cardboard, and by heat sealing an airtight seal is created.
The use of vacuum packaging provides several advantages:
It increases food shelf life by up to 5 times compared to traditional packaging.
Product integrity through increased protection from external elements such as moisture, dust and external contamination.
Airtight packaging ensures proper storage and preservation of the organoleptic qualities of food.
Increasing the shelf life of food contributes to the fight against food waste and significant financial savings.
Vacuum packaging is particularly used in the food industry.
Ensuring maximum product protection and preservation are key elements in the food industry.
In fact, there are numerous types of products where vacuum packaging is not only a viable but a recommended choice.
Among the many products involved in vacuum packaging that we have been involved with are:
MF TECNO, which has always been attentive to the needs of the market, offers a wide range of vacuum packaging solutions.
In fact, we specialize in manufacturing a wide range of vertical packaging machines. Single installations, complete packaging systems or integrative solutions of pre-existing systems.
Below are solutions for vacuum packaging of small and large formats.
Ideal machinery for vacuum packaging of small to medium sizes (1 to 5 kg) with productivity up to 15 bags/minute when equipped with double bell.
The outputs, in fact, vary depending on whether one or two vacuum bells are used. Positioned at the base of the packaging machine.
Specially designed for packaging a wide variety of products with good flowability and grain size.
Choice that allows for a package with a compact and perfectly squared configuration. Useful to preserve the fragrance and ensure its life-time value.
It can make bags as small as 120 x 100 mm and as large as 330 x 400 mm.
The bag, once filled, is semi-welded and then placed in the vacuum bell where vacuum is created by negative pressure.
The operator, thanks to the convenient "touch screen" panel then has complete control of the packing and sealing scheme. Intuitive and easy to interpret.
This model is a reliable and high-performance solution for vacuum packaging of large sizes. From 5 to 30 kg. With productivity up to 100 bags/hour.
It is characterized by extreme ease of use and wide versatility. Numerous accessories available for creating different types of bags.
Pillow bags, with side gussets, four seals or square bottom.
It features single or double vacuum bell configuration, which affects the productivity of the machine and the speed of format change.
The vacuum chamber is located at the side of the packaging machine. In fact, the bag once filled and semi-sealed passes, thanks to special conveyors, to the vacuum chamber. Here, after the application of negative pressure, the final sealing of the bag is carried out.
The bags that can be made with this packaging machine are a minimum size of 330 x 400 mm and a maximum size of 580 x 980 mm.
First-rate electronics and a touch screen panel ensure complete control of the packaging scheme.
