Vacuum machine operation:

A vacuum machine is a device that creates a vacuum in a food container. This container can be a bag, a Tupperware or even a bottle. The machine is composed of a vacuum pump, a vacuum regulator and a sealing bar. There are two types of vacuum machines: external suction machines and chamber machines.

STEP 1

Vacuuming:

Drawing in air and creating a vacuum is a quick and simple process. The vacuum pump draws air inside the container and the vacuum generator regulates the vacuum level inside it. The pressure inside the container is then increased and controlled. This creates the best storage conditions for food. The process only takes a few seconds (varies depending on the machine and the dimensions of your bags).

STEP 2

Bag welding:

During the welding process, the machine cover must be closed and locked. The bag is held in position along the sealing bar using a counter bar. The sealing wires are brought to a temperature high enough to melt the layers of the bag and weld them together.Once the bag is sealed, the lid can be unlocked and your bag is vacuum sealed.

Advantages of vacuum packaging:

• • Increased retention time
