Fresh fruit and vegetables need to be packaged carefully to avoid damaging the produce while also preventing contamination. Flexible packaging is an economical, sanitary way to bag a wide variety of produce, including salads and salad dressings.
With a Automatic Vegetable Fruits Servo Control Flow Packing Machine, you can package kiwis, carrots and even salad mixes in a variety of food-safe, flexible bags.
The huge variety of VFFS bag styles available make vertical baggers an attractive option for packaging fresh produce. Doy Packs with zippers, perforated Flat Bottom Bags and classic Pillow Style Bags are all great for presenting fruit and vegetables on store shelves.
The benefits of heat-shrink packaging
The most immediate benefits of this type of packaging machine are lower costs than other types of packaging and reduced consumption. But do not underestimate the aesthetic reasons, which are particularly important in direct sales of fruit and vegetables to the consumer.
In fact, the most visible advantage of heat-shrink packaging is the possibility of creating aesthetically pleasing packages, ideal to be displayed in a showcase. Aesthetics is counterbalanced by the need for freshness of the fruit: the choice of heat-shrink is particularly suitable for appealing as well as resistant packaging. The heat-shrink packaging is therefore ideal for trays and packs of fruit and vegetable to be displayed on the counter or stored in refrigerator cabinets. The result is a safe and beautiful product to look at.
Lastly, and not to be underestimated, is the ease of storage and transport of goods packaged with a heat-shrink film: creating light and compact packages makes it really easy to move fruit from one place to another and to store it without occupying too much storage space.
