Press Release Summary = Have you ever wondered how potato chips are sealed in bags?
How do they package food and why does it not spoil?
Press Release Body = KAYSVILLE, Utah, April 4, 2005 – ABC Office, an office
automation equipment dealer, is proud to announce the addition of chamber vacuum
sealers to its line of packaging products. These new chamber vacuum sealers quickly
and efficiently package food products in seconds. Vacuum sealers can be used to
package a variety of food such as deli meat slices, salmon, green beans, pretzels,
potato chips and more. Some people even use vacuum sealers to protect items such as
baseball cards and photographs, by preventing water and contaminants from damaging
the product.
It is not uncommon to find an inexpensive vacuum sealer at a department store for
under $100. Although good for home use, commercial food packagers and grocers do not
use these sealers because the take a long time to remove air from a bag and are not
designed for high-volume use. High-volume vacuum sealers not only remove air from
FDA-approved plastic vacuum bags, but they can also be connected to an optional
nitrogen gas line for extended shelf life for potato chips and pretzels.
Vacuum sealers can be set to tightly wrap plastic around a product, or provide a
secure and oxygen-free bag for long-term packaging. You can adjust the removed air
to be anywhere from one to 99.9 percent. Potato chip manufacturers use a similar
process. They will have about 50 to 60 percent of the air removed, and replace the
oxygen with nitrogen for extended shelf life. Most of our vacuum sealers are
available with a gas-line hookup. Replacing existing air with nitrogen that prevents
bacteria, and other contaminants, from growing and keeps the food from spoiling. If
you are removing 99.9 percent of the air, nitrogen is not needed. With 99.9 percent
of the air removed, bacteria cannot easily grow.
The first step in using a vacuum sealer is to place your product in a bag. The bag
is then placed inside the chamber. The top cover of the chamber is then pulled down.
Once the air begins to be removed from the chamber, manual pressure on the lid can
be removed, as it will stay in place by itself. The chamber then removes the
designated amount of air (up to 99.9 percent) from the chamber. The machine then
seals the bag shut and returns the chamber air pressure back to normal. The air in
the bag is not returned to normal, because it has been sealed. The end result is a
properly vacuum-sealed product.
We are continually trying to find products to help make our customers’ daily jobs
