Nalbach Engineering Company has introduced a new and innovative Modified Atmosphere Packaging System (MAPS) for the food and beverage industry, the Nalbach SLX (Shelf Life eXtension) System.

New packaging materials and technologies are available to keep snack and bakery products fresh over the course of their expected shelf life, and to actually extend that shelf life. These innovations include modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) solutions and active packaging, often in combination with the latest packaging material technology.

Active packaging technologies have evolved to help extend product shelf life for a wide range of snack products and baked goods.

When it comes to packaging materials, one of the biggest consumer demands cited by bakers and snack producers is the need for extended shelf life—packaging that makes food last longer on the store shelf and in the refrigerator.

Dansensor AS recently unveiled LeakProtego, a fully automated, leak testing system designed to help food processors detect micro leaks in individual modified atmosphere packages (MAP).

Erik Fihlman is now program manager for the company’s bakery, prepared foods and seafood markets.

Fully automatic Rollstock vacuum packaging machines are now available with faster cycle times and improved performance, says Rollstock Inc.
