Vacuum packaging machines in gastronomy - what to pay attention to when buying
Vacuum packaging is a simple way to protect delicatessen products and ensure trouble-free transport. Thanks to the fact that no oxygen enters the food, we can enjoy the product's durability, freshness and attractive taste for longer.
Vacuum packaging machines - types of products
To make the right choice of device, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the variants available on the market. Popular types of vacuum packaging machines include:
● table-top vacuum packaging machines
Despite their small dimensions, this type of devices are characterized by high efficiency. They can be placed on any surface, even in rooms where free space is difficult. If we are looking for such solutions, pay attention to whether the device has a gradual vacuum system. It is useful, especially if we have products with delicate elements and we do not want them to move during packaging.
● floor vacuum packaging machines
These machines are definitely more massive. They are used on a large scale by dairies, bakeries, butcheries and other production plants. Their size and ergonomic design make working with the device hassle-free and the entire process is characterized by high efficiency. When choosing such machines, let's check what additional facilities the packaging machine allows. Depending on the model, we will encounter, among others: sensory control and inert gas dosing.
● traysealers
Such machines are used to pack trays. Modern variants are equipped with vacuum pumps and special knives, thanks to which it is possible to precisely cut the shape of the tray. The effect is very aesthetic, because the excess foil around the tray is cut off. Such packaging machines are also very universal because they can be equipped with dies of various sizes.
What else should you pay attention to?
An important issue is the ability to adjust individual machine parameters, such as welding time, vacuum level and gas dosing level. Modern variants take care not only of functional technologies, but also of basic protection of individual machine elements against damage. Let's look for packaging machines that are made entirely of stainless steel, because this will significantly extend their service life.
When purchasing a device, do not forget to also stock up on products that are useful during the packaging process. Mostly, companies offering packaging machines also sell foil for machines, PA/PE bags, and knurled bags.
Regardless of whether we are looking for a two-chamber packaging machine, meat mixers or simply want to buy new vacuum packaging bags, we should choose solutions from proven manufacturers. They are slightly more expensive than substitutes, but they will last much longer, they have a lower failure rate, and in the event of any problem with the machine, we will be able to count on professional warranty and post-warranty service.
