Vacuum Packaging

The precise measurement of "nothing" since 1970

It is with our passion for precision that we support our customers with their vacuum applications. Vacuum allows a great variety of manufacturing processes. The same large field of applications is served by our vacuum products. Included applications are for example process industry, coating, analytics and R & D as well as semiconductor and solar.

BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

  • Chemically resistant ceramic sensor with FKM sealing
  • Adjustable min. logging rate of 50 ms for fast processes
  • Battery life time up to 5000 h
  • Data logger and USB interface
  • Insensitive against contamination

Vacuum Packaging

Vacuum packaging increases storage life of food products by a factor 3 to 5. For that purpose the package is first evacuated and then hermetically sealed.

Challenge

The correct functioning of the packing machine must be checked regularly. Only when there is sufficient vacuum inside the packing, quality, freshness, nutrients and taste of the product are fully maintained.

Solution

A battery operated VD81 is put into the packing machine in defined time intervals and vacuum-sealed instead of the product. During the packaging process the instrument stores the achieved minimum pressure. After the vacuum meter is taken out of the packing this minimum pressure can be displayed and checked.
