The MAP modified atmosphere packaging machines are automated packing systems that extend food shelf life by evacuating air and filling the packaging with protective gas mixtures such as CO₂, N₂, and O₂.
By altering the gas environment inside the packaging, these machines effectively inhibit microbial growth and slow down oxidation rates. This preserves food color, texture, and nutritional value while significantly extending freshness. For instance, chilled meat can be preserved for 12–15 days at 0°C, while fruits can be kept fresh for 15–40 days.
This equipment integrates vacuum extraction, gas replacement, heat sealing, automatic film collection, and counting functions. It is widely applicable for packaging chilled meat, seafood, deli items, fruits and vegetables, fast food, and other products.
5 Key selling points of MAP packaging machine
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technology
The modified atmosphere packaging machine creates a vacuum environment before filling with a protective gas mixture (CO₂, N₂, O₂), effectively inhibiting bacterial growth and slowing food oxidation.
Compared to standard box packaging, this significantly extends the shelf life while maintaining the product’s fresh appearance and visual appeal.
Common gas mixture ratios:
- Chilled meat: O₂ 80% + CO₂ 20%, freshness retention 12–15 days.
- Cooked foods: CO₂ 30% + N₂ 70%, freshness retention 3–7 days.
- Fruits: O₂ 3–5% + CO₂ 3–5% + N₂ 90%, freshness retention 15–40 days.
Food-grade stainless steel construction
The entire unit is manufactured from food-grade stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and easy cleaning while meeting food processing hygiene standards.
The base features swivel casters with locking brakes for convenient mobility and secure positioning, enhancing production site flexibility.
Custom mold design for multi-specification packing
Molds are crafted from anodized aluminum alloy for corrosion resistance and extended service life. Customizable to tray or meal box dimensions, supporting multiple production specifications such as:
- Single-out packaging
- Double-out packaging
- Quad-out packaging
Suitable for meal boxes, trays, pre-cooked meal containers, and various other packaging types.
Intelligent control system
The modified atmosphere packaging machine utilizes a WEINVIEW touchscreen control system with an intuitive, user-friendly interface. The operating system includes:
- Automatic operation mode (one-touch start)
- Parameter adjustment interface (vacuum time, gas filling time, sealing time, etc.)
- Production output statistics function
Additionally equipped with control devices such as a temperature controller, vacuum gauge, and emergency stop button to ensure safe and stable operation.
Compatibility with multiple film materials
The equipment supports packaging with white film and printed film, featuring a mark recognition system for precise alignment of printed patterns to enhance packaging aesthetics. Sealing temperature automatically adjusts according to different film materials, suitable for:
- PE film
- PP film
- PS film
- Easy-tear film
- Aluminum foil film

Workflow of food preservation packaging machine
- Loading and positioning: food items are placed into trays or packaging boxes, which are then conveyed into the packaging area and automatically positioned.
- Vacuuming: the vacuum pump is activated to remove air from the packaging box, reducing oxygen content.
- Gas flushing: depending on the product type, a specified proportion of protective gas is introduced into the packaging box.
- Heat sealing: after gas flushing is complete, the mold heats to seal the packaging, ensuring a secure and airtight seal.
- Film winding/unwinding and cutting: the inflatable shaft automatically winds and unwinds the film, cuts it to shape, and completes the output of finished packaged products.
- Counting and conveying: finished packaged products are conveyed out via the conveyor belt while undergoing quantity counting, facilitating production management.
