Highlights

Double chamber

Double chamber

Minimizes downtime of the packing process in commercial settings, so that larger quantities of products can be packaged faster and more efficiently.

Flat work surface

Flat work surface

Durable stainless steel material that can withstand long-term, industrial use

10 program memory

10 program memory

Offers the option to set and save up to 10 personalized vacuum programs.

soft air

Soft air

This enables the optimal vacuum packing of sharp or sensitive products without damaging the product or vacuum bag.

Closed stainless steel lid

Closed stainless steel lid

Durable stainless steel material that can withstand long-term, industrial use.

Time control

Time control

Manually sets the vacuuming time

Red meat function

Short injections of air prevent the degassing of meat during the sealing phase. This ensures a longer shelf life and prevents air bubbles in the packaging.

Automatic Service Report

Automatic maintenance notification when the specified number of cycles has been reached. Standard on all Henkelman machines.

Fast and efficient

This double chamber floor-standing model makes the packaging of food and non-food products fast and efficient, as vacuuming and preparation can take place simultaneously.

Robust construction

The robust Polar double chamber is made entirely of durable stainless steel. The seamless joints between the chambers and the housing create a sturdy construction that is also easy to clean.

Robust construction

Flat work plates

The Polar’s standard flat work plates make the packaging of different products simple. The work plates are also easy to clean and to keep clean, partly due to the removeable silicon holder.

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

More Information

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.

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.

High lid

High lid

Offers a useable chamber height of 300 mm instead of the standard 255 mm. Only available for Polar 2-85

External pump connection

External pump connection

Allows external installation of the pump in separate locations.

More Information

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.

Sensor control

Sensor control

Detects the vacuum pressure and automatically stops the process when the preset vacuum percentage is reached

Sensor control  

For a consistent and guaranteed vacuum result

 

Always an optimal cycle  

Vacuuming machines with sensor control use a pressure sensor to measure when a pre-set vacuum percentage has been achieved. This differs from more traditional vacuuming processes whereby sealing begins automatically once a certain time cycle is complete. In this case you cannot be sure that the desired final vacuum result has been created. To put it simply: with sensor control, the desired final vacuum result is always achieved. Regardless of the volume and even with varying quantities and products. Sensor control is available as an option on several ranges, but the function is also a standard part of the Advanced Control System and on the Aero and Aura machines.

 

Operating sensor control

Sensor control is very easy to use. Place the product or several products directly in the chamber. Then turn on the machine and manually set the desired final vacuum result or choose a pre-set program. Close the lid and initiate the vacuuming process. Once it detects the correct vacuum percentage, your Henkelman machine will automatically proceed to the next step in the vacuuming process.

Advanced Control System (ACS)

Advanced Control System (ACS)

Advanced full color operating system with 20 pre-programmed or user-configurable programs and extra functions for optimal user-friendliness.

More Information

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.

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

More Information

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.

1-2 Cut-off seal

Enables an independent time setting of the sealing wire and the cutting wire.

More Information

1-2 Cut-off seal

×

Why 1-2 cut-off seal?

Setting independent times for sealing and cutting is useful when using shrink bags. These are made of a special material that is resistant to higher temperatures.

The sealing time of the convex sealing wire (3.5 mm) can be adjusted independently from that of the rounded cutting wire (1.1 mm), which means that the shrink bag can be better sealed, and the remainder of the bag easily torn off.

Inclined insert plate

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

Thermal label printer

Thermal label printer

Ultra-compact thermal printer (HACCP proof) for labeling products. Only in combination with the Advanced Control System.
