In the world of fresh produce packaging, precision matters. Even small variations in gas composition can significantly impact product freshness and shelf life. Today, we're excited to share how PerfoTec's innovative O₂Control system is revolutionizing the way we approach Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), making it more precise, efficient, and cost-effective than ever before.

Rethinking Gas Control in Packaging

Traditional MAP systems depend on expensive pure gases: oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. The O₂Control system transforms this approach by using compressed air and nitrogen in a smart new way. Since compressed air already contains 80% nitrogen, we significantly reduce the need for pure nitrogen supply. This innovation not only cuts costs but also improves the entire packaging process.

The Power of Triple-Sensor Technology

The true innovation of the O₂Control system lies in its sophisticated three-sensor design. Each sensor serves a specific purpose in maintaining precise gas levels throughout the packaging process:

The first sensor, located within the O₂Control unit, continuously monitors the initial gas mixture. This ensures the system starts with exactly the right gas percentages for your produce.

The second sensor, positioned at the bottom of the filling tube, verifies that these precise gas levels remain consistent as they move through the packaging system. When it detects any variation, the system automatically adjusts to maintain optimal levels.

The third sensor, placed at the top of the filling tube, confirms that the entire packaging environment maintains the correct gas mixture. This complete coverage ensures every package receives the perfect atmosphere for maximum freshness.

Precision That Sets New Standards

This comprehensive monitoring approach achieves a remarkable level of precision: a maximum deviation of just 0.5% in oxygen levels. This precision is crucial for maintaining optimal produce freshness and extending shelf life. The system maintains these exact levels while using significantly less gas than conventional systems.

Superior Gas Flow Management

The O₂Control system's sophisticated design extends beyond gas mixture precision to the actual flow dynamics within the packaging process. By controlling gas volume and delivery with exceptional accuracy, the system creates a controlled environment that prevents turbulence inside the package. This precise management ensures consistently high-quality results across several critical areas:

• Clean, reliable package seals
• Prevention of product interference in sealing areas
• Optimal gas consumption
• Consistent packaging quality

Comprehensive Benefits for Your Operation

The impact of O₂Control's advanced technology translates into immediate and lasting benefits for packaging operations. The system achieves optimal gas levels at the exact moment of packaging, preventing oxidation and preserving product quality from the start. This precision and efficiency deliver tangible advantages across your entire operation:

• Reduced costs through efficient gas usage
• Lower consumption of pure gases
• Minimized product waste
• Enhanced product shelf life
