The advantages of vacuuming for you
Food safety in line with local hygiene requirements
Vacuuming prevents cross-contamination and increases food safety. A deep final vacuum pressure slows down the further development of bacteria. Every machine is designed for easy cleaning and simple daily maintenance, guaranteeing optimal hygiene and productivity.
Longer shelf life, less waste
Henkelman machines vacuum to a vacuum of 99.8%. This prevents food spoilage and therefore reduces food waste as much as possible. Products also have a longer shelf life compared to refrigerating and retain their quality when frozen.
Financial advantages of a Henkelman
Vacuum-sealed products have a longer shelf life. This means you throw away less and therefore save money. A longer shelf life also enables you to better organize your purchasing and make the most of possible purchasing benefits. With proper maintenance (and low maintenance costs) a Henkelman will last for years and retain its resale value.
Efficient workflow
Preparing, portioning and vacuum-packing your dishes when you have time, allows you to work more efficiently when you are busy. This enables you to optimize the workflow of your kitchen staff so that you can do more with fewer people.

Frequently asked questions
No and yes. The final vacuum result and the basic functions of all our vacuum packing machines are the same. However, the chamber dimensions and/or the available optional extras per model are different. This, as well as your personal wishes, type of product and product seize , is why certain vacuum packing machines are a better option for you.
Vacuum packing results in a longer shelf life. This is because the oxygen is removed during the vacuuming process. This slows down the ripening process. The vacuum bag also gives your product air and liquid-tight protection against external factors.
This depends on the model vacuum packing machine. According to our guidelines, a table top model can be used for 5 hours a day. For floor models and double chamber vacuum packing machines, this is 8 hours per day. It is important that there is sufficient ventilation around the machine to prevent overheating. Some machines can also be upgraded with a heavy duty option, making them operational for up to 20 hours a day.
The shelf life of products is highly dependent on the residual amount of oxygen in the packaging. Henkelman vacuum packing machines remove up to 99.8% of all oxygen from packaging. This is called the final vacuum result. A vacuum sealer achieves a significantly lower final vacuum result. And this in turn results in a shorter shelf life of your product. This is often the reason why vacuum sealers are primarily used in domestic environments.
