Double chamber vacuuming machines

As the name suggests, a double chamber vacuuming machine has two chambers in which the vacuuming process takes place. Working with two chambers means that you can prepare products on one side and vacuum products on the other side. This makes it possible to vacuum pack large quantities without having to interrupt your workflow. This type of vacuuming machine is perfect for packaging products for commercial purposes such as the food processing industry.

Which double chamber suits you best? 

Falcon Double Chamber Series

Two deep aluminum chambers and lid with viewing window

Polar Double Chamber

Made entirely from stainless steel, with flat work plate as standard

Advantages of double chambers

Efficient workflow

Products can be prepared in one chamber and vacuumed in the other, resulting in an efficient workflow.

Maximum productivity

Thanks to the double chambers, you can work continuously. This results in increased productivity.

For larger quantities

Due to the efficient and high productivity of a double chamber, these machines are typically used for packing larger quantities.

Choose the right sealing bar configuration

Choosing the right sealing bar configuration depends on the type of product being packed, the desired productivity, the bags being used and other specific needs. Therefore, get proper advice on which is the best solution for you.

Difference between double and single chambers

Do you need a lot of capacity?

Then a double chamber is best for you. So that you can prepare and vacuum products simultaneously. This increases your production output.

A matter of budget?

Single chamber floor-standing models are cheaper than double chamber ones. But in terms of price, a double chamber model is more cost effective than two single chamber floor-standing machines.

Need a specific sealing bar configuration?

For special sealing requirements, a single chamber floor-standing model has more options and offers extensive sealing bar configurations.

Options & accessories

Made to measure Henkelman

All double chambers are equipped with 10 operating programs, time control, double seal, pump cleaning program, automatic maintenance notification, and insert plates. Depending on the specific type of double chamber, you can upgrade with various optional extras such as:

Heavy duty model

Heavy duty model

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

More Information

Heavy duty model

×

Heavy duty machines can be used for up to 20 hours a day. This model therefore enables an efficient and sustainable packaging process under the most extreme conditions.

The smart construction and choice of robust materials, double seal capacity, heavy pump and aluminum end blocks make this heavy duty solution ideal for packaging processes in the food processing industry.

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

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.

Gas Flush / MAP packaging

Gas Flush / MAP packaging

Extends the shelf-life and protects vulnerable products from distortion and discoloration through the addition of preservative gas

Gas Flush / MAP packaging

×

Why gas flushing (MAP)?

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is the addition of a preservative gas during the vacuum packing of vulnerable products such as chopped lettuce, crisps, part-baked goods and / or cooked fish. As well as extending the shelf-life and protecting these products, the addition of gas also prevents discoloration and distortion.

How does it work?

Preservative gas is injected into the vacuum bag after the vacuuming process but before sealing. The gas is usually a mixture of nitrogen (N2) or Argon (Ar) and carbon dioxide (CO2), and in some cases extra oxygen (O2). A special oxygen pump is needed for gas mixtures with more than 20% oxygen.

Inclined insert plate

Inclined insert plate

Positions the vacuum bag at an angle. This makes it easier and more efficient to vacuum pack fluids and powders.
