Chamber packaging machine for food

Why the right vacuum technology matters

Becker U 5.45 vacuum pumpThe performance of a chamber packaging machine depends heavily on the vacuum pump. Fast cycles, stable end pressures, and consistant results all require dependable vacuum generation. In food packaging, where hygiene and efficiency are top priorities, processes must be stable. Becker is a proven partner here, offering a product range designed for this environment.

 

Becker vacuum solutions: Designed for floor mounted chamber machines in food production

Floor models need consistent airflow, steady performance, and high cycle rates. They operate under tough conditions like high humidity, frequent cleaning, and temperature changes. 

 

Becker U5 pumps are preferred for:

  • Meat and sausage production
  • Cheese and dairy products
