Single station modified atmosphere packaging system
Ensure the extended shelf life of sensitive foods with precise gas flushing and sealing capabilities, reducing spoilage and maintaining freshness in diverse packaging formats.
Preserves and Packages Products via Gas Flushing
The MARK-III from CV-TEK is a single-station modified atmosphere packaging machine designed for food and dairy processors that require extended product shelf life and protection from atmospheric degradation. This equipment excels in a variety of applications, including packaging fresh-cut produce, organic grains, and dairy products in bulk bins, totes, and poly bags. The machine operates through a robust gas flushing and sealing process that ensures wrinkle removal and bag stretching, thereby maintaining the integrity and freshness of sensitive products.
Configurable with seal bars ranging from 30 to 100 inches, the MARK-III handles diverse packaging needs efficiently. With options for vacuum, liquid-ring, or venturi pumps, it offers flexible gas flush capabilities ensuring oxygen levels are minimized, crucial for preserving the quality of organic and perishable items. The equipment is constructed from 100% stainless steel, complying with FSMA, FDA, and USDA standards, and is built to IP69 specifications for easy washdown, further ensuring high hygiene standards.
Operational ease is enhanced by an intuitive controller with multiple language options, and its adaptable installation options—floor-mount, rolling casters, or overhead suspension—allow seamless integration into existing production lines. Whether packaging salad mixes, powdered dairy, or industrial bulk grains, the MARK-III provides a reliable solution with customizable features to meet specific production demands.
