The vacuum chamber packaging machine is used to pack all kinds of food products in plastic bags.
Generally, this machine performs the packaging of products with complete vacuum, but it also has the capability of packaging using the Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) method.
The packaging of products by the Vacuum Chamber Machine can be done through the following methods:
- Full vacuum
- Packaging with modified atmosphere
- Fully vacuum-sealed packaging using special films with Shrinkage properties
The Vacuum Chamber Machine with two cabins (double chamber packaging machine) is highly efficient and requires small space. The operation of this machine involves manual handling, where plastic bags filled with the product are placed manually in the machine and removed manually after packaging.
This machine is equipped with a PLC and a touch screen HMI for accurate control and easy settings by the operator. The machine has a maximum of 5 packaging programs that can be changed by the operator. Repair and maintenance of different parts of the machine are very easy and meet standard design principles. Various parts of the machine are easily accessible for quick and efficient settings.
Packaging by Various Methods
Packaging using the Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) method is carried out with a certain percentage of vacuum and gas injection, ultimately increasing the shelf life of the product.
Additionally, vacuum packaging is a process which the air includes high valume of Oxygen and Nitrogen in addition of other gases, is sent out from the pouch before sealing completely to incraese shelf life of products which encounter spoilage faster than other products. In this method vacuuming is done in a way that plastic pouch will be adhered to the product completely.
Speed
The machine operates at a speed of 1 to 3 cycles per minute in vacuum packaging manner and 1 to 2 cycles per minute by gas injection packaging.
The Vacuum Chamber Machine with two cabins has the capability to package various plastic and metallized pouches by strong sealing without error.

Types of Packaging Methods
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP Technology). The modified atmosphere packaging method, which causes the atmosphere inside the package to be modified by the specified gas composition and finally the shape, color and freshness of the product to be preserved for a specified period of time. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen gases are usually used to correct the atmosphere inside the packaging.
Natural Atmosphere. Packing with natural atmosphere method, in which case the product will only be safe against physical contact and mechanical impacts.
Packaging by Equilibrium Atmosphere (EMAP). Packaging with the Equilibrium Atmosphere or EMAP method is a technic where the required oxygen inside the package is supplied through micrometer-sized holes, and excess carbon dioxide is sending out. This method can ultimately increase the shelf life of products such as fruits, vegetables, and salads.
