ILAPAK's Delta VacMap: Thermoforming Shelf Life from a Flow Wrapper
ILAPAK's Delta VacMap(TM) packaging system will change the way you think about packaging fresh food products for extended shelf life.
Lugano, Switzerland (PRWEB) May 18, 2006 -- Delta VacMap(TM) is a truly innovative flow wrapping machine from ILAPAK, www.ilapak.com, that produces attractive traditional looking packs with a shelf life that, until now, was only available by using thermoforming. Particularly suitable for the spongy products that are typically found in the bakery industry, an in line vacuum system allows the machine to extract the oxygen that is trapped inside the product itself.
Producers wishing to achieve attractive pack presentations at the lowest possible cost for fresh food products with extended shelf life, will find this high performance horizontal form fill and seal machine will meet all requirements.
Designed as a cost effective alternative to expensive skin and thermoforming packaging, the Delta VacMap(TM) combines vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in one machine. The vacuum system allows the machine to extract trapped pockets of oxygen found inside the product itself. The result is a packaging line that produces attractive traditional looking packs with the same shelf life characteristics of thermoforming, at a greatly reduced cost. And unlike with thermoforming, whole package printing is as easy as on a traditional horizontal flow wrapper.
The marketing department will be impressed by the wide variety of packs that this equipment produces. Fresh food products will look more appealing to the consumer and the long shelf life will be appreciated by the most demanding customers.
Cost savings are realized across the board, from lower film costs, increased throughput and reduced labor expenses. The Delta VacMap(TM) machine requires very little operator involvement as it runs virtually unattended, but when operator intervention is required for product size changes, for example, it is a quick and easy process.
If the food application needs a hygienic packing environment, the Delta VacMap(TM)'s fully automatic product feeding and handling system will meet the most stringent requirements. The easy-clean design will keep cleanup downtime to a minimum whilst maintaining the highest standards of hygiene.
A Delta VacMap(TM) line also boasts a great deal of flexibility, as it easily handles multiple sizes and can be used a normal gas flushing wrapper by turning off the vacuum system, thus increasing wrapping speed as a result.
Some of the key benefits of Delta VacMap(TM) are:
o Same shelf life as thermoforming at a reduced cost
o Reduced material and labour costs combined with higher throughput
o Fast product size changes
o High quality pack presentation with print registered film
o Fully automatic feeding
o Three operating modes: Flow wrap; MAP and VacMap(TM).
