Which packaging machines to choose for meat packaging
The packaging of meat requires specific solutions to preserve its quality, ensure hygienic safety and improve product presentation. The main technologies used are shrink wrapping and vacuum packaging, each with distinctive characteristics. Shrink wrapping is ideal for short-term sales, as it allows the meat to be displayed in cold rooms or showcases, improving its appearance without altering its freshness. Vacuum packaging, on the other hand, is used to prolong preservation, keeping the organoleptic and nutritional properties of the product intact.
Minipack offers a complete range of meat packaging machines, designed to meet the needs of butchers’ shops, processing plants and large-scale distribution, guaranteeing efficiency, reliability and maximum packaging quality.
Heat shrink film meat packaging machines
For meat packaging, two different technologies can be used: shrink wrap or vacuum packaging. Shrink wrap packaging is used when meat is intended to be stored in dedicated cold storage rooms or refrigerated display cases for short-term sale.
Indeed, this type of packaging is not used to extend the shelf life of the food, but rather to package the meat with an aesthetically flawless finish that is extremely appealing to the eye. It is highly popular, especially when combined with trays.
Minipack offers a very wide range of high-techshrink wrapping machines, available both in manual models for small businesses or shops, and in semi-automatic or automatic models for butchers’ shops or larger workshops.
Vacuum meat packing machines
Unlike shrink wrapping, vacuum packaging is used for meat when the goal is to significantly extend its shelf life. In high-quality vacuum packaging, meat can be preserved even for long periods without losing its organoleptic and nutritional properties. Furthermore, vacuum sealing is used for sous-vide cooking, a technique that delivers exceptional tenderness and uniform cooking to meats.
Minipack vacuum sealing machines are reliable and technologically advanced. The tabletop chamber machines are our most requested models, standing out in both the X and XP lines. The main difference lies in the printer featured on the XP line: it ensures clear product traceability by printing a label at the end of each vacuum cycle. This label displays the packaging date, expiration date, product type, gas injection status, and other optional data selectable by the operator.
The X and XP lines undoubtedly represent the pinnacle of excellence among chamber vacuum sealing machines for meat packaging, thanks to their high aesthetic and functional standards, combined with their compact design. The range is completed by mobile machines, double-chamber models, and the shifting chamber machines from the SWING series.
Still in the vacuum sector, let’s not forget some specific products for meat packaging, such as the EVAC 65, an automatic vacuum machine designed for processing laboratories handling medium and large-sized products.
