Vacuum Packaging

Packaging is a crucial aspect of the food processing process and plays a major role in preventing and minimizing waste in food supplies. Packaging helps to preserve world resources by preventing spoilage and waste of items and by safeguarding products until they fulfill their role. One of the methods of packaging or increasing the shelf life of food products is Vacuum Packaging. The product is placed in an airtight pack, the air is removed and the package is sealed. By removing air from around the product, the oxygen content in the packaging is decreased, thereby preventing spoilage microorganisms from growing and degrading the goods. The oxygen scarcity also lowers the spoilage due to oxidation which can leads to browning in apples and bananas.

A Sustainable Competitive Advantage for Food Manufacturers

The shift towards increasingly individualized packaging and sustainable materials is especially noticeable in the food industry. Companies that want to face these market trends with confidence need a high degree of flexibility in their production. With a Flowpacker from Schubert, manufacturers in the food sector can position themselves strongly to meet these and future requirements. This is because the robot-assisted flow-wrapping machine is so flexible that it can easily keep up with the new packaging trends. It is even possible to switch between conventional and recyclable films or trays on a single line. This is one of the reasons why a long-established manufacturer from France also packs its diverse range of biscuits and pastries with a new Flowpacker.
