Delta VacMap™ Horizontal Form Fill and Seal

Machine overview

Thermoforming Performance in a Flow Wrapper Format

The Delta VacMap™ is a revolutionary flow wrapping solution that combines vacuum technology and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to deliver shelf-life performance previously only achievable through thermoforming — but at a significantly lower cost.
Particularly suited for spongy bakery items and oxygen-sensitive foods, the system integrates an inline vacuum process to remove residual oxygen trapped within the product, extending freshness and maintaining pack integrity.
Unlike thermoforming, Delta VacMap™ offers the advantage of full-surface print film and faster throughput with reduced material and labor costs.
With a fully automatic product handling system, fast size changeover, and easy-clean hygienic design, the VacMap™ is a versatile and efficient choice for modern food producers. It can also operate in three modes — Flow Wrap, MAP, and VacMap™ — adapting to different product needs and boosting line flexibility.
