Packaging machine designed to pack fresh food products with modified atmosphere (MAP) for extended shelf life. The system is used to pack products such as fresh or processed meat, poultry, pizza, fish, pasta or cheese in MAP. The shelf life is extended as the product is packed in a hermetically sealed pack with a mixture of protective gases inside.

The new Long Dwell sealing head is characterized by an “oval” motion profile in the jaw, which assures packs with perfectly hermetic seals at high production speeds. This new sealing head, together with the state-of-the-art electronic technology and a food-industry oriented design, turn this ARTIC family into the ideal machine to meet the demands of the food industry.

Available with Allen Bradley® controls from Rockwell Automation, the Artic is equipped to reduce solution complexity and maintenance costs, while realizing better quality, capacity, and throughput. Learn more about our partnership with Rockwell Automation, and smart, connected machines.
