With the P 650 double chamber machine, MULTIVAC is expanding its BASELINE series to in-clude a model with particularly large chambers that are specially de-signed for the packaging of bulky or long foodstuffs. The new machine will be presented for the first time at the IFFA 2016 (hall 11.1, booth C11) and is suitable for use in craft firms in the food industry.

The new machine in the BASELINE series enables the manufacture of val-uable pouch packaging with reliable MULTIVAC quality at an attractive price. Compared to models in the C series, it offers limited equipment options and a simplified machine control.

With a chamber size of 850 x 850 x 250 mm (W x D x H), the P 650 is ideal for packaging especially bulky foodstuffs such as cuts of fresh meat, blocks of cheese and cheese wheels. Both chambers are equipped in front and back with two pluggable, 850 mm long sealing bars. The machine has a double-seam sever sealing for removing excess film pouch length. The sealing height can be optimally adjusted to the prod-uct with the help of the spacer plates.

This compact machine accelerates the packaging procedure, since the operating processes run simultaneously: while one chamber is being evacuated, the other chambers can be loaded. There are no limits on the period of use. With three program presets, individual recipes can be se-lected with the push of a button. Thanks to its stainless steel construction and even work surface, the machine can be washed down.

Multiple pumps and options

The P 650 is optionally available with various pumps and several equip-ment options, including a gas flushing system as well as an MC 06 ma-chine control with vacuum sensor and 30 program presets. Various seal-ings are optionally available: in addition to a double-seam sealing which provides for increased security with two seal seams, a single-seam seal-ing from top to bottom for packaging aluminium film pouches or espe-cially thick film pouches is also available.
