VACUUM MACHINES
Automatic or semi-automatic process machines for vacuum packaging of products, from bags made of flexible or shrinkable material. Having a vacuum machine is increasingly necessary in food environments and factories; There are many advantages that this type of machinery can provide. Depending on the needs of your business, we have different models.
ALL HOOD MODELS
How a vacuum machine works
The process of running a vacuum machine begins by placing the product to be packaged inside a vacuum bag and this in turn inside the hood of the vacuum machine, once the bell of the vacuum machine, the cycle begins with a vacuum pump, after a few seconds, all the oxygen will have come out of the interior of the bag and the hood of the vacuum machine, sealing it hermetically and then the air is recovered in the hood of the vacuum machineThe product being subjected to atmospheric pressure on the outside, with the extraction of oxygen from the inside of the product container, we avoid the proliferation of all kinds of bacteria, resulting in a long shelf life of the product.
This is why the vacuum machine It is undoubtedly a very necessary and used instrument in the hotel, restaurant and catering sector. It is vital for these professionals that the product can retain its properties for longer without losing its quality and with the vacuum packed and the vacuum machine they manage to keep them as the first day.
Matter of space
Another benefit that must also be taken into account when using the vacuum machine is that the space that the product occupies before the process is greatly reduced, thanks to this more products can be stored in the same space.
Industrial vacuum machines
Knowing all these benefits it is clear that undoubtedly at an industrial level the packaging and vacuum machines they are an essential element. In the industrial field, these vacuum packaging machines are prepared for a high volume of work and are even integrated into the complete production process by means of automation.
Operation of an industrial vacuum machine
Although, as can be seen, in frimaq there are many models of industrial vacuum packaging machines, each with its own characteristics, all have at the end a more or less similar process to carry out their work. In this way, it could be said that they have a general process that would be divided into:
- Preparation of the product and container: Introduction of the product in the container or bag that are specific for the vacuum function.
- Empty: The container or bag is placed in the vacuum chamber from packaging machine, making sure that the opening or area where the air will be extracted is well located. Next, the air is extracted into the chamber or vacuum machine.
- Sealed: The bag or container is heat-sealed and subsequently cooled.
Once this point has been reached, the passage of air is allowed into the vacuum machine.
In some cases, protective gases can also be introduced into the packaging process so that the food is preserved even better. This method is known as modified atmosphere packaging.
As you can see, the operation of a vacuum machine is relatively simple but it is important to bear in mind that these processes can become much more complex depending on the needs of the product to be packaged and this will be done with the vacuum and packaging machines appropriate as in frimaq you will find.
What advantages can the vacuum machine bring?
- In professional kitchen and food industry environments it reduces costs and work time, thanks to the long-lasting storage method offered by the vacuum.
- Even if the product is frozen, it will keep its organoleptic properties intact.
- By making the vacuum we avoid any type of contamination, decomposition or formation of ice on the food that could harm its taste, texture and smell.
- Food does not oxidize or ferment.
What kind of vacuum machine do I need?
Depending on the type of business and the product that needs to be vacuum packed, you will need to have one type or another of vacuum machine.
