1.2. Performances of packaging machine

This machine represents what the modern technology of vacuum-packing may express at its best. It is flexible, easily
programmable and cheap. It is intended to vacuum-pack foodstuffs by removing oxygen as well as any chemical and
biological pollutant present in the environment. To attain the vacuum level you wish, just program the machine in order to
remove almost all the air contained in the packet. Your product will preserve its organoleptic features, colour, taste,
flavour and nutritive value for a long time.
