YPS has introduced a new semi-automatic vacuum packaging machine designed for small to medium food producers looking to extend shelf life, protect product quality, and improve packaging efficiency.
Vacuum packaging plays a critical role in extending product shelf life, preserving freshness, and maintaining food safety standards. By removing air and creating a secure, hermetic seal, it prevents oxidation, slows bacterial growth, and keeps products in optimal condition from factory to shelf.
This vacuum packaging machine is engineered for efficiency, hygiene, and precision—ideal for operations seeking to enhance productivity and deliver consistent results in vacuum packaging for food.
Key Features and Benefits of our vacuum packaging machine
Designed with industrial reliability and operator convenience in mind, this vacuum packaging machine offers a combination of proven engineering and modern control technology:
Swing Hood / Double Chamber: Dual-chamber operation enables continuous use—while one chamber seals, the other can be loaded—maximising throughput.
Digital Control Panel with Saved Programs: Up to ten pre-set programs simplify changeovers, ensuring consistent pack quality.
Ergonomic and Movable Design: Hygienic stainless-steel construction and castor wheels make cleaning and repositioning simple. This machine sits within a small footprint so it’s suitable for a wide range of sites.
Controlled vacuum cycle: Automatic cycle stop, smart sensors and a measured re-introduction of air result in consistent sealing and maintenance of seal integrity.
MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) Option: Gas flushing can be incorporated where desired for even greater product freshness and shelf life.
Benefits for Food Producers:
- Affordable technology for small to medium sized businesses.
- Faster operation and improved productivity with dual-chamber efficiency that maintains operational flow.
- Consistent, hermetic seals for reliable food protection.
- Flexibility across product types and batch sizes.
Ideal Applications for our vacuum sealer
This vacuum packaging machine is ideal for food producers, ready-meal manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies requiring secure, hygienic packaging.
It excels at sealing:
- Meat and poultry
- Fish and seafood
- Cheese and dairy products
- Fresh produce
- Sous-vide and ready meals
Our vacuum packaging machine is semi-automatic, requiring loading by an operator. It’s ideal for those starting to use vacuum sealing for their products or with a smaller range of products requiring this packaging method.
For larger operations, YPS offers fully automatic packaging lines that can incorporate vacuum sealing or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) units, producing thousands of hermetically sealed vacuum packs per hour.
Compatible materials for vacuum sealing
The YPS vacuum packaging machine is designed to work seamlessly with vacuum pouches. We partner with trusted packaging material suppliers to offer recyclable, high-barrier materials that meet both performance and sustainability requirements.
Our vacuum pouches are available in a wide range of thicknesses so that the ideal material can be selected for the product to be packed. For example, protruding shapes such as bone-in meat products are better wrapped with a thicker material so that pack penetration is prevented.
These vacuum pouches are suitable for microwave cooking and freezing, so they’re convenient for consumers’ use further down the line, as well as for the transit and retail environments.
Our food vacuum pouches are available from our UK-based warehouse for fast delivery, supporting our food producer customer’s operational needs.
Whilst vacuum skin films, otherwise known as vacuum skin packaging film (VSP), and thermoforming films can also be used to create vacuum packaging, they are not compatible with this vacuum packaging machine. Instead, they are used for vacuum sealing operations carried out on automated packaging lines.
