Do Minerva Omega Group vacuum packaging machines provide a longer shelf life than other models?

Minerva Omega Group vacuum packaging machines are designed to extend the shelf life of food products while helping to preserve their organoleptic and nutritional properties. However, the shelf life of vacuum-packed food depends on several factors, including the type of food, its initial condition, the packaging process and how it is subsequently stored, as well as the features of the machine itself. When choosing the right equipment, it is therefore important to consider how precisely the vacuum level can be controlled, whether the packaging cycle can be customised and which specific functions are available for different products.

The Derby line includes counter-top and floor-standing vacuum packing machines designed to meet the needs of delicatessens, restaurants, food and meat processing labs, and small processing facilities. Every machine in the range allows users to save up to 10 customisable programmes, making it easier to set the appropriate packaging cycle for different products. The Soft-Air function also enables delicate and fragile foods to be packaged without damage, while the pump oil preheating function helps remove moisture and impurities. LED indicators and a built-in vacuum gauge make it easier to monitor each stage of the process.

Depending on the model, machines may also be equipped for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), which involves replacing air with specific gas mixtures to help preserve food products and retain their flavour, texture and nutritional value for longer.

By allowing users to control the vacuum level and customise the packaging cycle to suit different foods, Minerva Omega Group solutions make it possible to tailor the packaging process to specific preservation needs, offering greater flexibility and control throughout the process.
