Vacuum Pump For Food Packaging
What Is Food Packaging and How Does It Work?
Food packaging involves enclosing food products to protect them from external factors like air, moisture, and bacteria, ensuring freshness and safety. Vacuum packaging, powered by a vacuum pump, works by removing air from the package before sealing it. This process creates an airtight environment that prevents oxidation, slows bacterial growth, and extends the shelf life of the food. Vacculex’s high-performance vacuum pumps ensure optimal air removal, maintaining product quality and freshness for longer periods.
How Vacculex Vacuum Pumps Provide Solutions
Vacculex specializes in high-performance, oil-free vacuum pumps designed to optimize freeze drying (lyophilization) processes. Whether you operate in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food preservation, or industrial drying, Vacculex vacuum pumps offer unmatched efficiency, reliability, and contamination-free performance. Here’s how our vacuum pumps provide innovative solutions for your freeze-drying needs.
VSP Series Screw Vacuum Pump
The VSP Series Screw Vacuum Pump is a dry, oil-free vacuum pump that uses a pair of synchronized, counter-rotating helical rotors to compress and discharge gas. Since no oil seals or lubricants are involved in the pumping process, it prevents contamination of the pumped gases, making it ideal for applications that require high levels of cleanliness.
MB Series Mechanical Vacuum Booster
The VSP Series Screw Vacuum Pump is a dry, oil-free vacuum pump that uses a pair of synchronized, counter-rotating helical rotors to compress and discharge gas. Since no oil seals or lubricants are involved in the pumping process, it prevents contamination of the pumped gases, making it ideal for applications that require high levels of cleanliness.
RB Series Roots Blower
The VSP Series Screw Vacuum Pump is a dry, oil-free vacuum pump that uses a pair of synchronized, counter-rotating helical rotors to compress and discharge gas. Since no oil seals or lubricants are involved in the pumping process, it prevents contamination of the pumped gases, making it ideal for applications that require high levels of cleanliness.
Where Are Vacuum Pumps Used in Food Packaging?
Vacuum pumps are essential in various stages of food packaging to ensure product freshness and extend shelf life. They are used in vacuum sealing to remove air from packaging, preventing the growth of aerobic bacteria and reducing oxidation. Vacuum pumps are also critical in thermoforming packaging, tray sealing, and chamber packaging, helping create an airtight seal. Additionally, they are utilized in bag packaging machines to maintain product integrity and freshness, making vacuum pumps a key component in the food packaging industry.
Vacuum Cooling – Fast, Efficient, and Shelf-Life Enhancing
Traditional cooling methods take hours to cool perishable products, increasing the risk of spoilage. Vacculex Screw Vacuum Pumps accelerate the cooling process by utilizing the low boiling point of water under vacuum, preserving freshness and extending shelf life.
✔ Rapid cooling time – Significantly reduces cooling duration for vegetables, bread, and sushi rice.
✔ Improved product quality – Prevents moisture loss and maintains freshness post-harvest.
✔ High water vapor tolerance – Ensures reliable operation in demanding cooling environments.
Freeze Drying – Efficient Moisture Removal for Longer Shelf Life
Freeze drying involves a sublimation process where, under vacuum conditions, frozen water transitions directly from a solid to a gaseous state, bypassing the liquid phase. Primary drying accelerates vaporization, while secondary drying removes deeper residual moisture by increasing temperature and lowering the vacuum. This method is ideal for preserving fruits, berries, cooked meats, vegetables, herbs, and spices.
✔ Preserves texture and nutrients – Maintains original quality and extends shelf life.
✔ High vacuum efficiency – Achieves faster drying with deeper moisture removal.
✔ Versatile pump combinations – Vacculex dry screw vacuum pumps with variable frequency motors can be paired with Roots vacuum pumps for higher vacuum levels.
Pneumatic Conveying – Safe, Efficient, and Dust-Free Material Handling
Pneumatic conveying uses pressure differences to move dry bulk materials such as soybeans, corn, wheat, flour, and powders through pipelines, ensuring safe and economical transport.
✔ Dust-free operation – Prevents cross-contamination and ensures clean material transfer.
✔ Minimal maintenance – Simple piping design reduces wear and maintenance of rotating parts.
✔ Cost-effective air supply – Vacculex Roots blowers provide a reliable and affordable solution, requiring pressures of up to 15 psig.
