Henkelman has many options when it comes to the industrial packaging of fish. Whether vacuum-packing a whole salmon or cooked fish, with the extensive range of vacuuming machines, capacities, optional extras and accessories you can easily choose a machine that suits your production process. The robust machines are designed to make daily cleaning and maintenance very easy, and very little maintenance is required. With the heavy duty version, you can professionally vacuum-pack fish for up to 20 hours a day.

The benefits of a Henkelman for you

Robust quality & optimal hygiene

Henkelman machines are specially developed for the food production industry. The machines are easy to keep clean and require very little maintenance, which guarantees continuity. All machines are certified to meet CE or UL/CSA requirements and meet all European and North American requirements in terms of safety, health and environmental protection.

Flavor and weight retention

Vacuum-sealing food products reduces the growth of bacteria and therefore extends the shelf life without having to add preservatives. Fish products that are vacuum-packed retain their weight, flavour and aroma. This also prevents dehydration, freezer burn and mould. Your fish has a longer shelf life compared to refrigeration and retains its quality when frozen.

Optimal storage & transport

Vacuum-packed and sealed products can be stored and transported hygienically. As your product is perfectly packaged, it is possible to store different packages together. This optimizes both storage space and transport.

Best vacuuming machines for fish

Salt corrodes certain materials. If you work with salty products, such as in the fish industry, you need a stainless steel vacuuming machine. The Henkelman range includes various machines that are made entirely from stainless steel.

Professional presentation by using a Diptank

Shrink packaging results in a more tightly packed product with a smoother surface. This improves the presentation and aesthetics of your product. In combination with a Henkelman vacuuming machine, a dip tank results in sleek, professional packaging using shrink-wrap technology. Products are vacuum sealed in special shrink-wrap bags and then briefly immersed in warm water.

Options & accessories

Useful packaging options for the fish industry

Depending on the model and specific type, you can upgrade each Henkelman with different optional extras and accessories. This can be useful if you want to vacuum-pack specific products such as a whole salmon or cooked fish. Using these functions guarantees a perfect packaging solution for with longer shelf life and flavour retention. Possible options include:

liquid control

Liquid Control

Stops the vacuuming process when evaporation is detected. This prevents contamination of the chamber, oxidation of the pump, and dehydration and loss of weight

Why Liquid Control?

Lowering the pressure in the vacuum chamber causes liquids to boil. Even if they are cold. This is a law of nature. The Liquid Control sensor detects the evaporation that is released. Once boiling point is reached, the vacuum packing machine stops vacuuming and starts sealing. This prevents damage to the product and contamination of the chamber. It also avoids oxidation of the pump.

Advanced Control System (ACS)

Advanced Control System (ACS)

In addition, there are extra functions available such as step vacuum, marinating, tenderizing and also a preserving jar function. The available USB connection can be used to exchange data, and also to connect a (label)printer.

External pump connection

Allows external installation of the pump in separate locations.

External pump connection

×

Instead of using the machine’s built-in vacuum pump, you can choose to use an external vacuum pump. This can be installed in a separate room. For industrial applications or situations that demand a more powerful pump, the use of an external vacuum pump can be a valuable option. The main advantage of an externally installed pump is that the source of heat and noise is placed outside the room.

The external pump connection is available on all Henkelman double chamber machines.

Heavy duty model

Special version of the machine that can be operational for 20 hours per day.
