Pack hot instead of cooling down first

Fill freshly cooked dishes hot, straight after cooking. Steam displaces the air in the headspace before the pack is sealed. Flavour, texture and nutrients are preserved, with a shelf life of up to 21 days.

Managing Director, Käsemanufaktur Müritz GmbH
"With the people you get to know at VARIOVAC, you simply notice that they build the machines themselves, that it isn't just one product among many. They know how it works, and they also know what's wrong when it doesn't. [...] Today we can pack in half a day what we otherwise couldn't manage in a whole week. [...]"
