Vacuum packaging

Maximize your production output with Vacuum by Busch.

Vacuum packaging. A packaging process in which air is extracted from the package prior to sealing.

The use of vacuum was one of the most groundbreaking advances in the packaging industry. And Busch was pioneer in this field.

In 1963, Dr Karl Busch developed the first vacuum pump to be used for vacuum packaging of foodstuffs, our rotary vane vacuum pump HUCKEPACK. With the follow-up product, the R5, we revolutionized food packaging.

Today, Busch is the market leader and industry standard for vacuum packaging. With our energy-efficient solutions, you can improve your packaging process, increase quality and maximize your output. Day by day millions of our vacuum pumps prove their robustness and reliability in packaging applications around the world.

Intelligent use of vacuum for food packaging

Feinkost Dittmann, a German delicatessen manufacturer, has installed a Busch vacuum system for its packaging machines.

Half the vacuum pumps supply the base load in permanent operation at their optimum point of efficiency. The other vacuum pumps are frequency-controlled to respond to demand fluctuations.

Busch Vacuum Control ensures fine tuning of the pumping speed to match current demand. Energy consumption has been reduced by more than 70% compared to simple on/off operation mode.

Energy efficiency in vacuum packaging:
Feinkost Dittmann

Busch were tasked with offering a more reliable and efficient solution.

The continued use of the existing pipe network was to be integrated. In addition, the vacuum supply was to be designed in such a way that connection of further packaging machines would be possible if production capacity were to grow.

Block House Fleischerei, a German producer of portioned fresh meat products and burgers, analyzed the energy consumption of its packaging machines when it was being certified according to ISO 50001.
Removing the vacuum pumps from each packaging machine and installing a Busch central vacuum system resulted in a reduction in the total number of vacuum pumps. Moreover, waste heat could be removed from the packaging floor.
Block House now achieves annual savings in energy costs of over 8,000 Euro.

How does blister packaging work?

Vacuum can be used for thermoforming of plastic cavities or pockets for blister packaging. The packaging is usually sealed by a paperboard, a lidding seal made of aluminum foil or a printed plastic film allowing to display product information or branding.

Blister packaging has the advantage of exhibiting a product while simultaneously avoiding its contact with external factors such as humidity and contamination. Moreover, tampering of the packaged items can be prevented. If opaque blisters are used, the packaged product can also be protected against UV rays.

Blister packs are often used as unit-dose packaging for pharmaceuticals like tablets or capsules but also for small consumer goods or foodstuffs.

How does liquid packaging work?

Vacuum packaging is not limited to solids. Liquids such as oil, sauces, remoulades or dressings can also be packaged under vacuum.

The packaging of these goods presents special challenges. In order to avoid the leak of the liquids during the packaging process, the bags are positioned vertically or inclined inside the vacuum chamber. Moreover, liquid, or wet products carry the risk of boiling during vacuuming which needs to be prevented in order to avoid damage to the product.

How does currency packaging work?

Vacuum packaging is the most effective and reliable method of storing currencies.

Bundles of a predefined quantity of banknotes are vacuumized. The plastic packaging can then be printed with a seal of the relevant bank or branch and a specific identity code. This makes the transport and storage of the packages traceable and safe. Theft and fraud can be prevented because a manipulated package is easily recognizable by a broken seal and an increase of air inside the plastic bag.

Vacuum packaged, banknotes can be stored in a very compact way as the air is extracted and the volume of the package is thus reduced to a minimum. The packages therefore need less space and can be transported easily.

Moreover, vacuum packaging allows to protect currencies from the harmful influences of moisture or dirt.
