Chamber vacuum unit ORVED idea-40

The ORVED IDEA 40 is a vacuum packing machine designed for professional use. This type of appliance works by removing air from a bag containing food, creating a vacuum seal. This process helps to preserve food by reducing oxidation and inhibiting the growth of aerobic bacteria, thereby extending shelf life. The machine features a chamber where the bag is placed before the lid is closed, initiating the vacuum cycle.

The operating principle involves a vacuum pump that extracts air from the chamber and the bag. Once the desired vacuum level is reached, a sealing bar heats up to melt and fuse the edges of the bag, creating an airtight seal. The ORVED IDEA 40 has a vacuum pump capacity of 16 cubic metres per hour and can achieve a maximum vacuum level of 2 mbar.

Operation is managed via a digital control panel which includes memory for 10 distinct vacuum programmes. This allows for consistent results across different types of food or packaging requirements. Additionally, the machine offers the functionality to add gas (MAP - Modified Atmosphere Packaging) or to perform a specific deaeration programme (degas), further enhancing food preservation capabilities.

The chamber of the IDEA 40 measures 441x449x170 mm, and it is equipped with a 415 mm sealing bar, accommodating bag dimensions up to 400x450 mm. The chamber itself is constructed with rounded steel edges for ease of cleaning and durability. The overall dimensions of the machine are 531 mm in length, 600 mm in width, and 461 mm in height, with a weight of 60.9 kg. The machine is listed in the catalogue under chamber vacuum machines and is suitable for packaging small portions.
