One continuous process for energy efficient production of chilled, Ready-to-Eat foods
The combination of the Schur®Star Concept and the Micvac™ technology enables the producer to market unique products with a shelf life of 40-60 days.
The flexible packaging machine offers manual, semi-, or fully automatic filling. Together with the concept of premade bags, a consistent and effective filling and sealing process is the result. By adding the unique Micvac™ in-bag cooking and pasteurisation technology, the combined process brings superior ready-to-eat foods.
The result is one continuous production flow, from filling of the bags, over preparation of the ingredients to the final product, ready for distribution. A highly efficient production that requires low care and low labour.
The valve is the core
The valve is the core of the Micvac™ process and makes it possible to have a fully cooked, pasteurised, and vacuum-packed product in approx. 7 minutes.
During the pasteurisation process in the microwave tunnel, the pressure in the bag will open the valve to release steam and with it oxygen molecules. After 5-10 minutes, the food is cooked and pasteurised. When cooled, the valve closes, the steam condenses, and a natural vacuum is the result.
