Highlights

10 program memory

10 program memory

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

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.

Insert plates

Insert plates

Adjusts the product to the correct position in relation to the sealing bar for optimal packaging. This also reduces the volume of the chamber and speeds up the vacuuming process.

Lid with viewing window

The Falcon’s aluminum lid is fitted with a viewing window. This ensures that the person operating the machine can constantly monitor the packaging process and stop it when required.

Available with ESD prevention

The Falcon single chamber can be upgraded to work with ESD sensitive products. This enables you to vacuum pack electronic components or other sensitive things.

Available with ESD prevention

Deep aluminum chamber

This series has the deepest (aluminum) chamber in the Henkelman single chamber range. This makes the Falcon suitable for vacuum packing voluminous products such as bags of potatoes or fries.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Special version for packing electronic components that are sensitive to possible static charges that may be generated by the machine and its process.

More Information

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

ESD is the abbreviation for electrostatic discharge. Static charge can be harmful to electronics because they can jump to products with a lower potential. This is harmful to sensitive electronic components and devices. When packaging electronic components and devices such as wafers, chips, motherboards and printed circuit boards or telephones, it is best to choose a machine that is suitable for an ESD-safe environment. These machines are particularly suitable for packaging electronics in an ESD-safe area. Henkelman offers a special range of machines for vacuum sealing these products.

 

What happens without a machine with ESD?  

Damage to semiconductors

Semiconductors such as transistors microchips are extremely sensitive to ESD. A discharge can destroy the thin layers of insulation and cause irreversible damage to these components. ESD also causes non-visible damage to semiconductors. These microscopic defects can also cause failure of electronic devices and components.

 

Change in electrical properties

ESD can alter the electrical properties of semiconductors. This can cause unwanted variations in voltage, current, and resistance which can lead to malfunctions in the operation of electronic devices. Electrostatic discharge can also cause malfunctions in complex electronic circuits by altering current paths.

 

Special Henkelman machines

The Henkelman range includes several machines that are suitable for an ESD-safe environment. These are equipped with a bi-active sealing system. This ensures that the aluminium vacuum bags, in which electronics are usually packaged, are sealed on both sides. The Falcon 52 and Falcon 80 (floor models) as well as the Boxer 42XL (table model) are suitable for ESD-safe areas.

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.

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.

Soft air

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 Control System (ACS)

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

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.
