The fresh packaging centre
The Packaging Centre offers the complete range of packaging technologies. Using no more space than a household fridge, the Packaging Centre can seal trays, pots and bags in a modified atmosphere (MAP) using vacuum or gas. Change-over times are kept to a minimum. Packages are weighed automatically and a printed label is produced at the same time.

The common tools needed to fill hard trays with product in the range from 80 to 15 kg are available. The Packaging Centre is standard equipped with three sealing tools for hard trays which can be exchanged within 20 seconds. Additionally there are nine more tool sizes available for the different shaped trays. The tools are stored safely in a drawer located directly beneath the packaging area.
An integrated magazine at the back-side of the machine contains two gas bottles. Both bottles have a filling volume of 20 litres with two connectors for external gas supply. The required type of gas is selected automatically ensuring a hassle free operation with maximum machine maneuverability. The machine is equipped as standard with gases for fresh meat, sausages and delicatessen products in order to cover a wide product range.
The weight of the trays is measured as soon as they are put into the forms. Different ingredients can be put inside the tray and are weighed seperately. The recorded data is processed during the sealing cycle, so that a printed label is available at the end of the packaging process. The printer processes labels with a width of up to 104 mm using the thermo technique or the thermotrans technique if required.
The operation of the touch screen PC is childs play. All product data such as price/Kg, ingredients and expiry date are stored in order to produce a label which conforms with packaging regulations. The machine controls itself, the operator simply has to select the required program.
The Packaging Centre is solely supplied with light-current. Compressed air is not necessary and the gas bottles are „on board“. That is why the Packaging Centre can be moved quickly and easily. The external dimensions of the machine are based on the standard dimensions for built-in kitchen appliances, so that it can be integrated into shop-type business.
Apart from the machine control itself the PC contains a data base which can be used as encyclopedia and as a sales tool. More than a 100 modifi able recipies are at the customers disposal. All the user has to do is to enter the product name and the ingredients for the respective recipies and the complete knowledge in regards to labels, packaging and inert gas is ready for operation.
