High Quality Economical Price Thermoform Vacuum / MAP Packaging Machine for Olives

CM series thermoformers are basically for automatic vacuum and MAP (modified atmosphere packaging) applications and very often used in dairy, meat, poultry, seafood, dried fruits and vegetables, bakery, medical and so on. The machine is chain driven type which means the plastic film material forward movement is done by the gripper chain system. Further, CM series are suitable for processing of both the flexible and rigid plastic films up to a width of 600 mm and a thickness of 1200μm.

Table olives are one of the major agricultural commodities cultivated around the world, and they are probably the most important and popular fermented food worldwide. From field to table, new techniques have been developed to decrease microbial load of potential spoilage microorganisms, improve fermentation kinetics and ensure safety of consumption of the packed olives.

To control microbial activity and minimize the production of mycotoxins, retain the quality characteristics of the packed olives packaging has vital importance. 

MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) is one of the most important preservation method for olives. It consists in creating an atmosphere composed by CO2, O2, and /or N2 in a pack, regulating the ripening process, extending shelf life, controlling or reducing microbial spoilage during storage and distribution. Vacuum packaging is an efficient method in which the olive is packed with low oxygen permeability plastic film, then air is evacuated, and the package sealed. 

Cehuma offers its CM series for packaging of olives both as vacuum or modified atmopshere packaging (MAP) leading a longer shelf life and high quality.
