5 GOOD REASONS TO HAVE A VACUUM PACKAGING MACHINE IN YOUR RESTAURANT

Vacuum packers represent useful equipment both for home and professional use. Every sector must choose the best type of machine taking into consideration the available space and the specific necessities.

For what concerns restaurants, where food preservation represents a fundamental aspect of the job, we suggest a table-top machine. The question is: why should a chef invest in a vacuum packaging machine if a blast chiller and a refrigerating room are available as well?

Here 5 good reasons for keeping a vacuum packer in your restaurant:

1. LONG-LASTING INGREDIENTS:

As you should know thanks also to our Sottoblog, the first benefit of vacuum packaging is the increasing food preservation period . Thanks to the absence of air inside the bag, all the biological activities tend to slow down, avoiding the development of mildew and bacteries and the oxidation of the product.

2. DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRODUCTS

The table-top machines, contrary to the external suction machines, allow you to pack different types of products, like liquids and sauces and big pieces of meat as well.

3. LESS SPACE NEEDED

Food isn’t packed in big containers anymore but in bags, which reduces the space needed for stocking them. Additionally, thanks to the hermetic seal, there is no danger that the different products get in contact each other. This avoids contamination from liquids or odours, allowing us to put the different products next to each other, sparing space and energy consumption.

4. REDUCES COSTS FOR INGREDIENTS:

Thanks to the table top machine it’s possible to buy ingredients in big quantities: this allows you to pay less for them and then preserve them in smaller portions: the vacuum technique makes it possible to put food in the freezer without drying it and being forced to throw away some parts of it.

5. VACUUM COOKING

A table-top machine reaches 99% of vacuum, while external suction machines can guarantee almost a percentage of vacuum around 90%. The vacuum cooking technique requires an high level of vacuum and this is the reason why only table-top machines are suitable for this function.

There are a lot of advantages in using a table top-machine in restaurants as, together with other professional equipment, it can reduce waste, let you spare costs for ingredients and increase your income for every single meal.
