Ultrasonic sealing for fresh produce
October 6, 2011
The rapid expansion of VikingMasek in the United States could not go unnoticed and we have started to endorse them as our partner for stick packaging and vertical form fill and seal machines. Their unique solution for fresh food produce shows their commitment to innovation.
VIKINGMASEK now offers a special servo-controlled stainless steel VFFS machine with ultrasonic sealing system for packing lettuce (ES-400). With this system, PP / OPP films from 30 microns can be processed offering a great solution for all our clients struggling with packaging fresh produce.
Advantages: almost 0% rejection / no visual check of the bags necessary / to 25% lower film cost. Expected return on investment in two shift production is less than 2 years!
For this development, VikingMasek teamed up with Sonotronic which has in several successful applications in operation in lettuce production. Besides lettuce, the application is suitable for fresh products, cheese, liquids, etc that is difficult to dose but needs PP / OPP sealing to be able to continue to breath to maintain its freshness. If you have a similar challenge, we look forward to working together with you for a market leading packaging solution!
