Helium Leak Testing PMP (Preventative Maintenance Plan) as a further reminder of the absolute necessity/importance of regular inspections… – to improve your plant operations and increase production efficiency

Vacuum sealing is an excellent, a very practical idea to keep your meat, poultry and seafood products fresh for a long period of time.. – so, if you run an industrial vacuum food packager, completed with a build-in vacuum pump – then you will, most likely, not experience any serious problems with the vacuum leaks or cross-contamination issues… unless you have to check, periodically, a few flanged connections inside your packaging system.

However, often the food processing and packaging take place in a special, thermo-isolated cold room/area, where any installation(s) of a large vacuum pump(s) or a central vacuum system(s) are not recommended, since a large vacuum pump or a central vacuum system generate a tremendous amount of heat – in most cases, they are installed in a separate room and connected to the packagers by a long, ALWAYS LEAKING pipeline.It is not so difficult to determine how much you, as an entrepreneur and a business owner, could lose and save if the pkg. cycling time had been increased, literally speaking, from a few seconds to a few minutes (because of leaks) and then has been being set back to the specified values…

Moreover, what else must be taken into consideration..? – a slowed/extended pump-down time could cause some air-pockets left inside the package… – and then the residual amount of oxygen will definitely “improve” the qualities of product, being packaged…. don’t you think so? Don’t you think that a Helium Leak Detection PMP (Preventative Maintenance Plan) might be a smart scenario to prevent losses, to save a great deal of time and money and guarantee the highest quality standards?

Thus, please call experts to evaluate performance of your food vacuum packager to deliver absolutely fresh, properly prepared and served food products – we look forward to be of service to all our values customers in Toronto and Southern Ontario
