Medical packaging thermoforming machine DFP series

vacuumstructurefor pharmaceuticals packaging

These DFP series of Thermoformer has been designed to pack food and medical products, capable of both flexible and rigid packaging. They are constructed in corrosion-resistant materials and a full stainless steel structure (AISI 304). Optional vacuum and gas flushing systems to create (MAP) modified atmosphere packages are available. Thermoforming Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a technique used for prolonging the shelf-life of fresh or minimally processed foods. In this preservation technique, the air surrounding the food in the package is changed to another composition. This way the initial fresh state of the product may be prolonged. It is the shelf-life of perishable products like meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables that will be prolonged with MAP since it slows the natural deterioration of the product. MAP is used with various types of products. The mixture of gases in the package depends on the type of product, packaging materials, and storage temperature.
