Options & accessories
Handy options for your kitchen
Depending on the model and specific type, you can upgrade every Henkelman with various optional extras and accessories. This can be very useful when you want to vacuum-pack specific products such as soups and sauces (liquid control) or marinade products with the marinade function. By using these functions you are guaranteed a perfect vacuuming solution with a longer shelf life and flavor retention. Possible options include:
Soft air
This enables the optimal vacuum packing of sharp or sensitive products without damaging the product or vacuum bag.
Soft air
×Why soft air?
When packing sharp or soft products, soft air ensures that the chamber is aerated gradually and in a controlled way after the vacuuming process. The vacuum bag therefore encloses the product gradually and in a controlled way, ensuring optimal protection.
This makes soft air ideal for packing items such as strawberries, brie and meat products with bone, as well as non-food products such as screws, bolts, electronics etc.
Advanced Control System (ACS)
Advanced full color operating system with 20 pre-programmed or user-configurable programs and extra functions for optimal user-friendliness.
Advanced Control System (ACS)
×Why an Advanced Control System?
The full color ACS control panel is a simple operating system with icons and animations for optimal user-friendliness.
The ACS is equipped with 20 pre-set programs. You can name and set these programs, to meet your needs and recipes.
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.
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
Liquid Control
×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.
Universal trolley (table model)
Stainless steel trolley with shelves and swiveling wheels with brakes. Provides mobility and storage space.
