Vacuum-packing for retail
Whether you have a butcher’s shop, green grocer’s or nut store, or are a cheese farmer, chicken farmer, or owner of a farm shop, vacuum-sealing with a Henkelman machine will professionally package your products and extend their shelf life in line with all local requirements and hygiene standards. Depending on your wishes and budget, you can choose a model and optional extras that suit your packaging needs. After that, it’s just plug & play.
The advantages of a Henkelman for you
Longer shelf life
The vacuum-sealing of food reduces the growth of bacteria and extends shelf life, without having to add preservatives. Vacuum-packed products retain their weight, flavour and aroma. They also have a longer shelf life compared to refrigeration and retain their quality when frozen.
Packaging on site
The Henkelman table-top models are ideal for placing on your counter or on your market stall. By packaging your products on site, your customers will be able to see exactly what happens to their fresh products. You are also providing your customers with hygienic packaging that also ensure their products can be kept at home without loss of quality.
Optimal hygiene
Vacuum-packing your products allows you to preserve them safely. With a Henkelman you will meet all local hygiene standards. All machines are easy to keep clean and meet all European and North American requirements in terms of safety, health and environmental protection.

Handy vacuum-packing options for retail
From vacuum-sealing nuts, cheese, fish and meat products and the vacuum-packing of sliced fruit and vegetables to marinating, red meat and preserving jar functions:
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.
Universal trolley (table model)
Stainless steel trolley with shelves and swiveling wheels with brakes. Provides mobility and storage space.
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.
