1.2. Performances of packaging machine
This machine represents what the modern technology of vacuum-packing may express at its best. It is flexible, easily
programmable and cheap. It is intended to vacuum-pack foodstuffs by removing oxygen as well as any chemical and
biological pollutant present in the environment. To attain the vacuum level you wish, just program the machine in order to
remove almost all the air contained in the packet. Your product will preserve its organoleptic features, colour, taste,
flavour and nutritive value for a long time.
In addition, this machine introduces an important innovation, an exclusive and revolutionary new concept for internal
vacuum packaging: vacuum traceability on the packet.
This brand new feature, marketed exclusively by Minipack-Torre, can be used to produce one or more adhesive label
(when packaging one or more bag simultaneously) displaying the essential product conservation information. It is
possible to display a wide range of information, including: packing date, vacuum level, operator name/code, product
name, % of inert gases present in the package, expiry date, packet number and the name of the company where the
product was packed.
The information is customisable and can be set up easily using the electronic LCD interface.
