Cryovac ST77 Dip Tanks x 2

• Shrink-wrapping of vacuum-packed meat products to improve presentation and shelf life.
• Post-packaging treatment for poultry and cheese to create a tight, form-fitting package.
• Used in food processing facilities for various perishable goods requiring enhanced barrier protection.
• Integrated into automated packaging lines for high-volume production environments.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line integration; typically designed for continuous operation.

Power supply

This class of equipment commonly requires a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, often 380/415V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage.

Heating element power

Heating elements for dip tanks are typically rated for high power output, commonly in the range of 30-60 kW, to maintain water temperature.

Construction material

Units of this type are invariably constructed from full stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

Air pressure requirement

Pneumatic systems, if present for conveying or lid operation, commonly require an industrial air supply, typically around 6 Bar.

Footprint

The footprint for a commercial dip tank can vary, but buyers should anticipate dimensions suitable for integration into a processing line, often requiring dedicated floor space.

• What is the primary function of a dip tank in vacuum packaging?

  A dip tank, specifically a shrink tank, uses hot water to cause vacuum-sealed, shrink-compatible bags to contract tightly around the product, improving package integrity and appearance.

• Are these units suitable for all types of vacuum-packed products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a hot water dip tank?

• Can these units be integrated into an existing packaging line?

• What safety considerations are important when operating a dip tank?

Vacuum packaging equipment holds a solid reputation in food processing for extending shelf life and maintaining product quality. Buyers typically prioritize seal consistency, chamber durability, and ease of operation when selecting used models. Industry sentiment favours machines with reliable vacuum pump performance and straightforward maintenance access. Common strengths include cost savings over new equipment, proven track records from established manufacturers, and compatibility with various packaging materials. Prospective buyers should inspect sealing bars, vacuum gauges, and prior service history carefully.
