MBM Innovations has announced its new VSM® BULKY vertical packaging machine, ideal for transport and maturing packaging for foods, pouch packaging for natural casings in brine, and loose packs.

MULTIVAC has modified its B 625 chamber belt machine to make a sealing height of 0 millimeters (mm) is possible for the automated and highly efficient packaging of large batches of very flat or light products in film pouches.

The new MULTIVAC Pouch Loader (MPL) for chamber belt machines has created a semi-automatic solution that significantly improves the processes of filling of film pouches and loading into packaging machines, enhancing overall performance, efficiency, hygiene, and ergonomics.

The correct packaging can make a big difference in food and beverage shelf life, and there are different techniques to prevent leakage and spoilage, as well. 

The latest form/fill/seal (FFS) packaging systems are designed to accommodate a wide range of packaging options at high speeds while ensuring food safety via sanitary design. The systems combine flexibility and automation, as they often need to pack different products on the same line. In addition, new designs enable quick changeover.
