What Machine Removes Air From Packaging?

A machine commonly used to remove air from packaging is called a vacuum sealer or vacuum packaging machine.

Vacuum packaging machines remove air from packaging by creating a vacuum inside the packaging, which helps extend the shelf life of the product and prevent spoilage.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of vacuum packaging machines?

Advantages of vacuum packaging machine:

(1) Extend shelf life

Vacuum packaging removes oxygen from the packaging, helping to inhibit the growth of spoilage-causing bacteria and extending the shelf life of the product.

(2) Keep fresh

Vacuum packaging helps preserve the freshness, flavor and texture of food by excluding air and tightly sealing the package.

(3) Prevent Freeze Burn

Long-term storage of food in the refrigerator can burn the freezer, and vacuum-sealed packaging is more resistant to freezer burn.

(4) Large space utilization

Vacuum-sealed packaging takes up less space due to the removal of excess air, allowing you to store more items than usual.

Disadvantages of vacuum packaging machine:

(1) Initial cost

The cost of vacuum packaging machines varies widely, especially for larger industrial-grade models that can be more expensive.

(2) Packing material cost

Vacuum sealing often requires specialized packaging materials, such as vacuum bags or rolls, which need to be purchased separately.

(3) Limited Applicability

Most vacuum packaging machines are mainly used for dry or solid items, and the effect on packaging liquids may be crossed. If you are mainly used for packaging liquids, you can choose a vacuum packaging machine specially designed for packaging liquids.

(4) Equipment maintenance

Like any machinery, vacuum packaging machines require regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure optimal performance. This can add extra time and effort to the packaging process.
