Vacuum packing with Henkelman vacuum packaging machines

How does vacuum packing work?

Vacuum means ‘without air’. A vacuum chamber machine removes 99.8% of the air from the chamber and package. It then seals the packaging airtight. Vacuum packaging also protects against contamination and moisture and ensures volume reduction, process optimization and fraud prevention.

Frequently asked questions


How can I best maintain my vacuum packing machine?

In addition to carrying out the conditioning program as instructed by the vacuum packing machine, you should also change the pump oil twice a year. Service kits  are available for all models, with all the necessary components required to keep your machine in optimal condition. 


For how many hours can a Henkelman vacuum packing machine be used?

This depends on the model vacuum packing machine. According to our guidelines, a table top model can be used for 5 hours a day. For floor models and double chamber vacuum packing machines, this is 8 hours per day. It is important that there is sufficient ventilation around the machine to prevent overheating. Some machines can also be upgraded with a heavy duty option, making them operational for up to 20 hours a day. 


Why vacuum pack?

Vacuum packing results in a longer shelf life. This is because the oxygen is removed during the vacuuming process. This slows down the ripening process. The vacuum bag also gives your product air and liquid-tight protection against external factors.
