Vacuum packing

In the food industry, vacuum packing is an important step in packaging that ensures the integrity of a product, extending its shelf life, and maintaining its overall quality while the package is unopened and within expiry date.  The objective is mainly to remove as much air from the package as possible since oxygen will eventually stimulate mold or bacterial growth.  During the process, air is eliminated from the pack (usually made of a plastic material), then the pack is machine-sealed so air or foreign matter cannot penetrate it. Vacuum sealing is used for grains, beans, cereal and other dry products, although some machines can do wet or powder products. For meat products, vacuum sealing slows the growth of microorganisms; frozen foods are less likely to freeze burn because airtight sealed packaging limits crystals formation. Depending on the type of products that need to be packed, there is a bag sealer, vacuum sealing, band sealing machine that can do the job, and within

Being part of the solution at the time of COVID-19

You can prepare for the future, based on the trends; you can even be ready for the unexpected, so business goes on. Still no matter how prepared you are, plans can easily be disrupted by circumstances beyond your control. Of course, I'm talking about COVID-19, which you can imagine is a slithering creature floating above city to city, claiming the weak. It is April, nearly four months since the virus made itself manifest outside China, and the world is still bravely putting up with it, however yet without a definite drug. We might be paralysed by our personal fears – what will the future be like? Will it be safe for us when travel restrictions and lockdowns are over? Or we can also stay hopeful, and be part of the solution for the problem on hand.  Every day we hear about companies and manufacturers who are not only supporting governments and the health care industry, but also producing and donating sanitisers, personal protective equipment, masks, and necessary machines.

The March 2020 issue puts the spotlight on smart technologies from Aveva,  a company that provides solutions customised around a client's standards and resources.

To survive the competition, to enhance productivity, to meet customers' changing needs, and even to weather unforeseen crises like coronavirus.  The Editor's Note for this issue posed a question: "How do we continue serving our global clients at the time of COVID-19, and how can we prepare for a similar risk in the future?" It's a question that's top of mind for all companies. There has to be some changes i
