Increases the shelf life of perishable foods without the need for freezing, always maintaining freshness, texture and flavor. Vacuum packaging is also applied to protect any product or component from external alterations, keeping it free of particles, odors, contact, etc.
Vacuum packaging is the most effective way to extend the life of a product and protect it from external elements. By removing the air, oxygen is removed, preventing aerobic microorganisms found in food products from spoiling the product.
The airtight packaging is also ideal for many non-food products. Products of large size or value, such as cushions or money, electronic components, powders, prostheses, weapons, medicines, jewelry and watches… The list of products is endless. Anything you can think of can be vacuum packed for better protection.
The power of a vacuum packaging machine depends on the type of machine and the production volume. Countertop vacuum packaging machines typically operate with pumps of approximately 4 to 20 m³/h., which is sufficient for retail, hospitality or small-scale production. Industrial vacuum packaging machines use more powerful pumps, typically between 20 and 63 m³/h., allowing faster cycles and continuous use. In high-production environments, high production or double chamber vacuum packaging machines are used, which can be equipped with pumps from 63 to 100 m³/h or higher, designed to operate continuously in production lines.
Vacuum packaging can extend the shelf life of food by 2 to 5 times. compared to conventional storage. For example, fresh refrigerated meat can go from lasting about 3–5 days to 10–15 days, cured meats from one week to several weeks, and frozen products can maintain their quality for several months without freezer burn. These times may vary depending on the type of food and storage temperature.
The best vacuum packaging machine brand is the one that offers reliable equipment, adapted to the production volume and designed with technology for professional use.. In our case, at Zermat has been manufacturing vacuum packaging machines since 1979, developing different ranges of equipment — from compact models to industrial and high production double chamber machines — designed to operate continuously in the food industry, supermarkets and demanding production lines, ensuring consistent vacuum levels and high-quality sealing.
They are not mutually exclusive methods. Vacuum packaging removes the air from the package, which prevents oxidation and helps preserve the texture and flavor of the product. The freezing extends the shelf life even further. For this reason, in the food industry it is common to vacuum pack first and then freeze, achieving longer preservation and preventing dehydration or freezer burn.
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a technique that combines vacuum with the injection of gases such as nitrogen (N2), carbon dioxide (CO2) or oxygen (O2) to improve product preservation and maintain its appearance. It is used in fresh foods such as meat, fish, cheeses or ready meals, as it allows to extend shelf life, better preserve color and prevent the product from being crushed inside the packaging. This system can be applied in both to extend shelf life, better preserve color and prevent the product from being crushed inside the packaging. This system can be applied in both
