Turbovac - Vacuum Packer

Applications & Use Cases

• Extending shelf life for perishable food items such as meats, cheeses, and prepared meals.
• Packaging non-food items sensitive to oxidation or requiring compact storage, like electronic components or medical supplies.
• Preparing food for sous-vide cooking by removing air from the packaging.
• Reducing product volume for more efficient storage and transport.
• Preventing freezer burn and maintaining product quality during frozen storage.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For double-chamber machines of this class, throughput can typically range from 2 to 4 cycles per minute, depending on product size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on pump size.

Chamber dimensions

While specific to the unit, double-chamber vacuum packers commonly feature chambers designed to accommodate multiple smaller packs or larger single items, with sealing bar lengths typically indicating the maximum pack width.

Vacuum pump type

Industrial vacuum packers typically utilise a robust rotary vane vacuum pump, often oil-lubricated, to achieve deep vacuum levels.

Construction material

For food processing applications, the machine's construction, particularly the chambers and external panels, is typically stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Sealing bar configuration

Double-chamber machines commonly feature two sealing bars per chamber, allowing for efficient sealing of multiple pouches simultaneously or providing redundancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the benefit of a double-chamber vacuum packer?

  A double-chamber machine allows one chamber to be loaded or unloaded while the other is in its vacuum and sealing cycle, significantly increasing throughput compared to single-chamber units.
