AVAILABLE VACUUM MACHINE OPTIONS |
||
| Evacuation Filter Kit Available on most of the Minipack MVS series chamber vacuum machines. The evacuation filter is advised for all vacuum packaging of dusty or powdery product. It will trap these dust/powder particles before they can get to the vacuum pump. Even with the filter installed, it's a good idea to change the pump oil more frequently when packing powders. | ||
| Excess Shrink Bag Cut-Off Available on most of the Minipack MVS swing lid series double chamber vacuum machines. | ||
| External Pump Kit Available on the Minipack MVS swing lid series double chamber vacuum machines. | ||

Gas Analyzers Available for all MVS series chamber vacuum machines when the inert gas flush kit is installed. When you are producing a modified atmoshphere packagine (MAP) product you need a quality way to KNOW the correct gas levels are being achieved. MAP portable gas analyzers are used to measure the modified atmosphere gas levels inside product packages. Oxygen, CO2, or CO/CO2/Oxygen gas levels are measured using a sample needle inserted into the package headspace. Sample is drawn for an operator settable sample time through a sample line, measured and readings are held on the display until the next sample cycle is called by the operator. We offer a 10% discount on all MAP analyzers ordered with a vacuum machine. | |
| Inert Gas Flush Kit Available on most of the Minipack MVS series chamber vacuum machines. It is used in applications that need all the air (which is about 20% oxygen) removed but can't have the tight package that full vacuum produces. By injecting an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, you can get a package that has all the oxygen removed but is not drawn down tight on your product. This is commonly called a "pillow" pack. The best example I can think of a pillow pack is potato chips. When you try to push a potato chip bag together you will feel the pillow of gas that's inside keeping the chips from being crushed. Some products just last longer when surrounded by gas and not a vacuum. Machines with gas flush have nozzles near the seal bars that you have to place the open end of the pouch over. Each pouch has to go over a nozzle so we tell you how many nozzles are on each seal bar on the option choice. | ||
| Light-Lift Swing Lid (Electronic) Available on the larger Minipack MVS swing lid series double chamber vacuum machines. This kit is factory installed to make even the largest swing lid easy for your operator to move from one side to the other. It uses a small amount of the air coming back into the chamber to assist in the lid movement. We highly recommend this option on MVS-275's, MVS-285's and MVS-295's. | ||
| NSF 4" Legs Available on the Minipack MVS-41 and MVS-45 models of chamber vacuum machines. These legs raise the heavier table top machines 4" above the counter to allow easy cleaning underneath the machine without moving. The NSF legs are required for the NSF approval of these machines. | ||
| Pouch Sample Pack Available with our table-top MVS chamber vacuum machines. If you're not sure what size and/or type of pouches you need, order this sample pack and get 100 each 3 mil 6x8, 8x10, 10x13, zipper HB 8x10 and boilable 8x12 pouches. | ||
| Seal Bar Options Most Minipack MVS series chamber vacuum machines come standard with one 4mm wide seal wire and one round cut-off wire that allows you to seal the bag and tear off any excess bag length. This is great for retail packages that need to all look uniform. If, however, you don't need the uniform look I usually recommend replacing the round cut-off wire with another 4mm flat seal wire. This gives you two parallel 4mm seals with a small gap between for a better seal on your pouch. The other advantage is the flat seal wires and the PTFE tape last longer than the round wire does meaning less maintenance. | ||
|
Top and Bottom Sealing Available as special order on most of the Minipack MVS series chamber vacuum machines. This puts sealing elements on both the top and the bottom of the seal bars. Required when sealing very thick pouches (over 5-6 mil thickness) or gussetted pouches (such as coffee pouches) to guarantee the vacuum integrety of the seal through the four layered gussetted bag. You'll have to call us at 559-539-3076 or email Doug to order a top and bottom seal machine. Picture shows top & bottom sealing on MVS Swing Lid machine. | |
|
Tray for Liquids Available on many of the Minipack MVS series chamber vacuum machines. Minimize spills and make sealing easy! This liquid tray slopes the pouch downward when sealing liquids or foods with liquids so that gravity keeps the liquids in the pouch, not in the chamber! Take out the white filler boards and replace with the stainless steel liquid tray. Machines with two seal bars will slope to the center of the chamber from each bar. | |
|
Vacuum Bag Loaders Our stainless steel bag loaders are designed to speed up the loading of vacuum pouches. Simply place your product on the fingers of the loader and pull the vacuum bag over product and fingers. Slide the filled bag off the loading fingers and you're ready to vacuum pack. Loaders are available in three sizes and can be configured to your product. | |
