AS-4 Tray Vacuum Skin Packaging Machine

AS-4 Tray Vacuum Skin Packaging Machine

VSP is ideal of packaging meat, poultry, smoked foods, fish, shrimp, shellfish and ready meals (frozen or refrigerated). By using the skin packaging system, your food products will remain fresh longer.

Skin packaging applies vacuum technologies to thermo-sealing machines. It consists in the upper film enclosing both the product and its tray, fitting around it like a second skin. Vacuum packaging further extends product shelf-life. The easy-peel packaging materials result in increased ease of opening for the end user. Skin packaging is ideal for attractive product presentation, complete sealing, minimized product damage, high safety standards and enhanced hygiene and preservation.

By extending their shelf-life, skin packaging results in the increased commercial life of foodstuffs. Visibility is also improved, allowing products to be displayed vertically, thus reducing food waste and returns by enhancing shelf replenishment and stock rotation processes. When packaged in skin conditions, meat and meat products continue their maturation process for enhanced tenderness, adequate texture and optimum taste.

Once opened, the product is immediately exposed to oxygen and will only take a few minutes to regain its natural bright colour, without altering taste and freshness.

Standard skin packaging

the height of the product does not exceed the depth of the tray in which it is packaged.

To deliver optimum skin performance tray height must be about 25-30 mm.

Protrusion skin packaging

the height of the product exceeds the depth of the tray in which it is packaged.

To deliver optimum skin performance tray height must not exceed 20 mm.

The product can protrude above the tray cavity by a standard 30 mm or 50 mm (optional on some machines).

Protrusion on flat support

a cutting-edge evolution of protrusion skin packaging using a flat product support instead of a traditional package. The product can protrude above the support by a standard 30 mm or 50 mm (optional on some machines). Available on almost all the machines of our extensive range, this packaging method allows for the use of flat packaging surfaces, including cardboard, thus reducing the need for plastic. This method further offers multiple printing options, thus providing a wide array of custom-designed product packaging solutions.
