Vacuum Packaging in the Foodservice Industry: Enhancing Efficiency, Freshness, and Quality In modern foodservice, vacuum packaging has become an essential tool for many restaurants and food businesses. This technology not only helps extend the shelf life
of ingredients but also improves food quality, reduces waste, and enhances operational efficiency. Here are the main applications of vacuum packaging in the foodservice industry: 1. Extending the Freshness of Ingredients For restaurants, managing the freshness
of ingredients is crucial. Vacuum packaging effectively isolates food from air, reducing oxidation and bacterial growth, which helps extend the shelf life of ingredients. Whether it's meat, vegetables, or seafood, vacuum packaging helps preserve freshness
and reduce spoilage, ensuring less food waste. 2. Prepping Ingredients for Increased Efficiency During busy times, restaurants often need to prep ingredients in advance. Vacuum packaging allows kitchens to prepare ingredients ahead of time while maintaining
their freshness. For example, vacuum-sealing chopped vegetables, marinaded meats, or pre-mixed seasonings ensures quick access to fresh ingredients when needed. This increases efficiency and speeds up food preparation. 3. Improving Consistency and Quality
of Dishes Vacuum packaging ensures consistency and quality, which is especially important in high-end or chain restaurants where customers expect a high standard. By vacuum-sealing ingredients before cooking, restaurants can better control the quality of food,
maintaining consistent taste, texture, and presentation. This results in a more reliable dining experience for customers. 4. Long-Term Storage of Frozen Foods For ingredients or prepared dishes that need to be stored for a long period, vacuum packaging is
ideal. Restaurants can vacuum-seal and freeze pre-made dishes (like roasted meats or stews) to retain their flavor and quality. Vacuum packaging minimizes freezer burn and moisture loss, ensuring that food stays in top condition even after extended storage.
When needed, the vacuum-sealed food can be defrosted and reheated for quick service. 5. Reducing Kitchen Waste Vacuum packaging helps reduce food waste in restaurant kitchens. By extending the shelf life of ingredients, restaurants can buy in bulk and store
leftovers properly without worrying about spoilage. This reduces food waste and cuts costs, helping businesses operate more efficiently. 6. Food Delivery and Takeout With the rise of food delivery services, many restaurants need to ensure that food maintains
its quality during transportation. Vacuum packaging plays a significant role in the takeout business by preserving the freshness of food while preventing texture and flavor changes during delivery. This ensures a better customer experience and helps sustain
the quality of food in takeout or delivery orders. 7. Meeting Special Dietary Needs Vacuum packaging can help restaurants cater to customers with special dietary needs (such as allergies or vegetarian diets). Restaurants can prepare meals in advance according
to specific dietary requirements and vacuum-seal them for storage. This ensures that the food remains fresh and safe while meeting customer preferences or restrictions. Conclusion Vacuum packaging technology offers multiple benefits to the foodservice industry,
from improving ingredient management and reducing waste to enhancing food quality and customer satisfaction. As the demand for high-quality food and efficient service continues to grow, vacuum packaging will undoubtedly become an indispensable tool in the
future of foodservice operations.
Why can’t the vacuum effect be maintained after using the vacuum sealer? The following are possible reasons. Users can check by themselves first. 1. The wrong material of packing bags: the material of plastic bags is PE, PP which can’t maintain the vacuum
effect. The air will enter into the bags after the vacuum sealer finishing working. It is recommended to choose Nylon bags, Aluminum foil bags which can maintain the vacuum effect for a long time. 2. The sealing line is not sealed well: please check whether
the sealing line is complete or not. If the sealing line is not closed, the air will run into the bags. (1) If the bag is too thick, and the vacuum sealer wasn't set for enough sealing time, the heat wasn't enough to seal the bag. If the vacuum sealer can
adjust the sealing time, users can add more seconds to test whether the sealing is firm. If the vacuum sealer can't adjust the sealing time, users may need to replace the thinner bag or buy another vacuum sealer with setting sealing time function. (2)
There have also been cases where the bottom seal of the original bag was not sealed properly. In this case, seal the bottom sealing line again before vacuuming. 3. Vacuum bag styles are not suitable for vacuum sealers: non-nozzle vacuum sealers can't
be used for vacuum flat bags. Therefore, if you buy a non-nozzle vacuum sealer, you must pay attention to the style of the bag you use. This vacuum sealer is a must-to-use vacuum embossed bag or Nylon gusset vacuum bag. It is recommended that when purchasing
a vacuum sealing machine or vacuum bag, it is more appropriate to confirm with the supplier first. 4. The vacuum bag is broken: (1) If the package article has acute angles, be careful not to cut the vacuum bag when putting it into the vacuum bag. (2)
Vacuum sealer in the process of pumping, when the bag is shrunk to the package, it may be punctured by the packaging.
Various types of sealers on the market have different features and operating methods, how to choose a sealing machine that is easy to use and suitable for you. The following are divided into two types according to the heating method of the sealing machine:
Impulse heat sealers and Constant heat sealers are introduced. Impulse heat sealers can set sealing time to heat. When the operator presses the handle to touch the micro switch, heating element will be heated and when reaching the set sealing time, power
off automatically, the heating element is no longer heating. The impulse heat sealer can be divided into single heating and double heating. The applicable materials are as follows: Single heating: plastic bags, such as PE, PP, non-woven bags etc. Double heating:
aluminum foils gusset bags (such as tea bags), vacuum bags, sterilization bags, and thick bags. The width of the heating element of the impulse heat sealer is divided into 2mm/2.7mm, 5mm and 10mm. If you want to fuse without leaving an edge, you need
to choose a round wire: 0.6mm/0.8mm. Consumables for Impulse heat sealer include heating element, Teflon cloth, and Teflon tape. Different types of sealing machine, such as hand type sealers and foot type sealers, use the different size Teflon tape or Teflon
cloth. Please ask for details of consumables when purchasing. Tips: 1. Different bags require different heating time. We suggest the users set the short time in the beginning. If the sealing line is not complete, the user can set a little longer sealing
time. Please don’t set the maximum sealing time in the beginning. If the sealing time is too long, the bags will be melted. It will also shorten the life of the heating element. If the sealing line melts, please decrease the sealing time. 2. When the
sealing time of the sealing machine reach the target time (the red light is off), stay for a few seconds for the cooling time and then release the handle, the sealing line will be beautiful and complete. 3. If the heating light indictor is on, but the
heating element can't heat up. Please check the heating element, maybe the heating wire is broken. The user can take off the Teflon cloth first to check the heating element. If the Teflon cloth is burnt black, even burned, please replace the Teflon cloth.
If the user doesn’t change the new one, it might make the heating element broken fast. Constant heat sealer is temperature controlled sealing machine. After turning on the power, it needs to warm up for 5-10 minutes. When the temperature of the sealing
seat reaches the set temperature, it will maintain constant temperature. Constant heat sealers use heating tubes or heating plates for heating. Because the heating bars maintain the high temperature, be careful when operating the constant heat sealers. Please
don't touch the heating bar to avoid burns. There are three patterns of sealing line: net pattern (cross pattern), stripes pattern, and flat pattern. More people choose cross patterns. The constant heat sealer is available for aluminum foil bag, vacuum nylon
bag, tinfoil bag, sterilization bag. Please don’t use the constant heat sealer to seal PE, PP and other plastic material bags. The bags will melt and stick to the heating bar. It will be hard to clean up the heating bar, and might make the sealing line incomplete.
The width sealing line of constant heat sealer is 10mm and 15mm. Tips: The different materials bags are suitable for different temperatures. We suggest the users start to seal the bags by low temperature. If the sealing line is not complete, it means the
temperature is not enough, please set a little higher temperature. If the sealing line melts, indicates the temperature is too high, please turn down the temperature. When the users adjust the higher or lower temperature, please wait the few seconds to let
the current temperature to reach the setting temperature.
