Turbovac 1000 Vacuum Packer

• Extending the shelf life of fresh and processed meats, poultry, and fish products.
• Packaging cheese, dairy products, and other perishable food items.
• Sealing non-food items such as electronics, medical devices, and industrial components for protection.
• Preparing products for sous-vide cooking or controlled atmosphere storage.
• Reducing product volume and preventing freezer burn for frozen goods.

Sealing Bar Length

Units in this class commonly feature sealing bars around 800-850mm, suitable for a range of pouch sizes.

Chamber Configuration

Twin chamber designs typically allow for continuous operation, improving throughput by loading one chamber while the other is cycling.

Vacuum Pump Type

A Busch vacuum pump, as mentioned, is a common and reliable choice for industrial vacuum packaging, known for its durability and performance.

Typical Throughput

For this class of twin-chamber machine, throughput can vary significantly based on product size and cycle time, but it is designed for medium to high volume production.

Power Supply

Industrial vacuum packers typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by pump size.

Footprint

Twin chamber units are substantial, often requiring a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1m, plus operational clearance.

Construction Material

The main construction is typically stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and durability in food processing environments.
