From 2 - 5 February 2016, at FRUIT LOGISTICA (Stand D-04, Hall 3.1) in Berlin, MULTIVAC will be showing versatile solutions for packing salads, fruit and vegetables. Packers, growers, exporters and importers, as well as wholesalers and retailers, can gain information on the MULTIVAC stand about packaging machines and technologies, which are designed specially to meet their requirements.

R 105 thermoforming packaging machine: compact and versatile

Thanks to its standard configuration and predefined basic formats, the
R 105 thermoforming packaging machine is an entry-level model with an outstanding price-performance ratio, which can be designed to produce MAP and vacuum packs. MULTIVAC will be presenting the FreshSAFE packaging concept on the R 105 at FRUIT LOGISTICA. The machine is equipped with a perforator for producing FreshSAFE packs, and this unit perforates the upper web during the packaging procedure to suit the requirements of the product. The upper web perforation enables the atmospheres inside and outside the pack to be exchanged, so that an equilibrium atmosphere (EMAP) is produced in the pack. Thanks to this packaging concept, fruit and vegetables as well as salads remain fresh for a longer time without the addition of preservatives. The inline perforator also has the benefit, that standard films can be used and that pre-perforated films do not have to be stocked.

T 300 traysealer: fully automatic and compact

The T 300 traysealer is a fully automatic solution for packing fruit and all types of raw or processed vegetables in trays. The compact model is suitable for producing small and medium-sized batches. MULTIVAC will be showing the machine in a three-track version at the trade fair. Electric drive systems for the tray transport, lifting unit and film trim winder ensure that the T 300 has an energy-efficient method of operation. Rollers for mobility and a wide range of possible applications make this machine a packaging solution that can be used very flexibly.

C 200 chamber machine: small and high-performance

The C 200 chamber machine is conceived as a space-saving tabletop unit for the fast and efficient packing of small to medium-sized quantities of salads, nuts and dried fruit in film pouches. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it can be used anywhere. The C 200 is robust, precise and extremely efficient, and it is suitable for a very wide spectrum of products, film pouches and pouch sizes. An optionally available lid lock enables delicate products, such as salads for example, to be packed at ambient pressure.

All machine models are characterised by their simple operation and groundbreaking MULTIVAC Hygienic DesignTM. As part of their high-quality and durable stainless steel construction, there is avoidance of all recesses, corners and edges, in which residual contamination could be deposited, which means that cleaning water can drain away freely. This has a very positive effect on pack safety and therefore on the shelf life of the fruit and vegetable products. All areas of the machines are also easily accessible for servicing.
