• Securing delicate products within their packaging during transit.
• Packaging of certain non-food items requiring a secure, vacuum-sealed presentation.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on pack size and product, but typically ranges from 6 to 15 cycles per minute.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for the machine's heating and vacuum systems.

Air consumption

Units of this type commonly require a compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar, for pneumatic functions.

Maximum pack dimensions

While specific to each unit, skin packers in this range commonly accommodate pack sizes up to 300mm in width and varying lengths, with a typical maximum depth.

Machine footprint

A Multivac R570, as a larger thermoforming machine, typically requires a substantial floor area, often exceeding 5-8 metres in length, plus space for conveyors and access.

Construction materials

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Film types

Designed to work with a range of thermoforming and skin film materials suitable for vacuum and skin packaging applications.

• What is skin packaging?

  Skin packaging involves heating a special film and drawing it tightly around the product and onto a pre-formed tray or base film, removing all air to create a 'second skin' effect. This provides excellent product presentation and extends shelf life.

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.
