Chamber packaging machine for food

What is a chamber packaging machine?

A chamber packaging machine is a system that places products in a sealed chamber and removes the air to create a vacuum. Most of these are floor models. Typical steps in the process:

Product is placed in the bag
The chamber is evacuated (1)
Optional: protective gas (2)
(MAP – Modified Atmosphere Packaging)
Bag is sealed (♦)
Chamber is vented

These machines ensure consistent packaging quality, lower oxygen content, and extended shelf life, especially for sensitive foods like meat, cheese, or fish.

Why the right vacuum technology matters

Becker U 5.45 vacuum pump The 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.
