Sealed Air's Cryovac Darfresh R175

This new-generation model provides an automatic entry-level rollstock machine for low capacity needs at reduced investment. The R175 CD thermoforming machine complements the existing R272 CD and R570 CD models.

The benefits of a vacuum skin pack include maximised product appeal, vertical display, head space reduction, total pack integrity and reduced waste, says Cryovac.

The Darfresh packaging process uses specially formulated top and bottom webs to create a vacuum skin consumer pack that fits around the product like a second skin.

The top shrink web wraps itself firmly but gently around every contour of the product without distorting its shape, says the company. The bottom and top webs are then heat-sealed together right up to the product's edges to produce a securely and hygienically sealed pack.

The new R175 CD will run with a large variety of Cryovac Darfresh base webs (flexible or semi-rigid, plain or printed, available in different thicknesses and colours) and top webs (plain or printed).

It is suitable for the vacuum skin packaging of a large variety of fresh food products, such as fresh or frozen fish, seafood, meats, poultry cut-ups, cheese, processed meats and ready-meals requiring a long shelf-life.
