Sensor control

Sensor control  

For a consistent and guaranteed vacuum result

Always an optimal cycle  

Vacuuming machines with sensor control use a pressure sensor to measure when a pre-set vacuum percentage has been achieved. This differs from more traditional vacuuming processes whereby sealing begins automatically once a certain time cycle is complete. In this case you cannot be sure that the desired final vacuum result has been created. To put it simply: with sensor control, the desired final vacuum result is always achieved. Regardless of the volume and even with varying quantities and products. Sensor control is available as an option on several ranges, but the function is also a standard part of the Advanced Control System and on the Aero and Aura machines.  

Operating sensor control

Sensor control is very easy to use. Place the product or several products directly in the chamber. Then turn on the machine and manually set the desired final vacuum result or choose a pre-set program. Close the lid and initiate the vacuuming process. Once it detects the correct vacuum percentage, your Henkelman machine will automatically proceed to the next step in the vacuuming process.  

1-2 Cut-off seal

Why 1-2 cut-off seal?

Setting independent times for sealing and cutting is useful when using shrink bags. These are made of a special material that is resistant to higher temperatures.

The sealing time of the convex sealing wire (3.5 mm) can be adjusted independently from that of the rounded cutting wire (1.1 mm), which means that the shrink bag can be better sealed, and the remainder of the bag easily torn off.
 

Liquid Control

Why Liquid Control? 

Lowering the pressure in the vacuum chamber causes liquids to boil. Even if they are cold. This is a law of nature. The Liquid Control sensor detects the evaporation that is released. Once boiling point is reached, the vacuum packing machine stops vacuuming and starts sealing. This prevents damage to the product and contamination of the chamber. It also avoids oxidation of the pump.    
 

Advanced Control System (ACS)

Why an Advanced Control System?

The full color ACS control panel is a simple operating system with icons and animations for optimal user-friendliness.

The ACS is equipped with 20 pre-set programs. You can name and set these programs, to meet your needs and recipes. 
In addition, there are extra functions available such as step vacuum, marinating, tenderizing and also a preserving jar function. The available USB connection can be used to exchange data, and also to connect a (label)printer. 
 

Gas Flush / MAP packaging

Why gas flushing (MAP)?

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is the addition of a preservative gas during the vacuum packing of vulnerable products such as chopped lettuce, crisps, part-baked goods and / or cooked fish. As well as extending the shelf-life and protecting these products, the addition of gas also prevents discoloration and distortion.

How does it work?

Preservative gas is injected into the vacuum bag after the vacuuming process but before sealing. The gas is usually a mixture of nitrogen (N2) or Argon (Ar) and carbon dioxide (CO2), and in some cases extra oxygen (O2). A special oxygen pump is needed for gas mixtures with more than 20% oxygen.
 

Bi-active seal

Bi-Active Seal
 

Bi-Active seal is mainly used with aluminum bags, thicker bags or bags where sealing is done through multiple layers. With this sealing option, the machine is equipped with a sealing bar above and below. One on the inside of the lid and one in the chamber. In this way, the bag is sealed from both sides. Bi-active seal is only available on a Boxer 42XL and on the Falcon and Polar series.

Inclined insert plate

• Inclined insert plate for efficient packaging of liquid products
• Perfect product positioning

 Henkelman's inclined insert plate is a convenient solution specially invented for vacuum packaging of liquids, powders and granular products.  The insert is suitable for various Henkelman vacuum packing machines. Due to its sturdy and durable construction, the insert plate can withstand intensive use. By positioning the vacuum bag at a specific angle within the vacuum chamber, this insert plate ensures that the product remains firmly in place during the packaging process. This prevents spills and ensures tight, professional packaging. 

In short, Henkelman's inclined insert plate increases the efficiency and accuracy of your packaging process, leading to a consistently high-quality end product. 

Thermal label printer

Label printers speed up the process of labelling products.  Henkelman's ultra-compact thermal label printer allows you to create labels with relevant packaging details. A label printer makes it easy to comply with these legal requirements. Packaging that is stored in cold storage, for example, must be labelled with unambiguous product description, packaging date, shelf life etc. This label printer easily meets this need.  

The size LxWxH:    220 x115 x151 (mm)  8.6x4.5x6.0 (inches)  
Weight:                 2.2 lb./1.0 kg

The Henkelman label printer is only possible in combination with the ACS control system and the Aura series. Also, the printer is fully HACCP compatible.

Universal trolley (table model)

Henkelman's universal trolley is a high-quality, stainless steel solution that significantly improves the mobility and functionality of your vacuum packaging machine. This robust trolley is specially invented for all table top models except the Boxer 52 and Boxer 62 and provides a stable and safe platform for your equipment.  

Durability and Quality: Made of high-quality stainless steel, this trolley guarantees a long service life and withstands intensive use even in demanding environments. 

Mobility: Equipped with castors with brakes, the trolley ensures easy movement of your vacuumpack machine within your workspace. The brakes ensure that the machine remains firmly in place during use, increasing safety and efficiency. 

Storage space: The integrated shelf provides extra space for storing essential accessories such as a label printer, labels and vacuum bags. This helps organise your workspace and ensures that all necessary materials are within easy reach. 

Universal Design: specially invented to be compatible with most Henkelman tabletop models, making it a versatile and flexible solution for different packaging needs. 

Henkelman's universal trolley is an indispensable accessory for professionals looking for efficiency and functionality in their packaging processes. With its sturdy construction and convenient storage space, this trolley contributes to an organised and productive working environment.
