Kammarförpackningar

Kammarförpackningar, often translated as chamber packaging or vacuum packaging, refers to a type of packaging that utilizes a vacuum chamber to remove air from the packaging before sealing. This process is distinct from many other vacuum sealing methods that may use a vacuum pump directly on the bag. In kammarförpackningar, the item to be packaged is placed inside a bag, and the bag is then placed within a vacuum chamber. The chamber is evacuated of air, causing the bag to collapse around the product. Once the desired vacuum level is achieved, the bag is sealed, typically through heat-sealing, while still inside the chamber or immediately upon opening the chamber.

The primary benefit of kammarförpackningar is the removal of oxygen. This significantly extends the shelf life of perishable goods by slowing down oxidation and preventing the growth of aerobic microorganisms. Foods packaged this way are often protected from freezer burn and maintain their freshness, texture, and flavor for longer periods. Kammarförpackningar is widely used for food products, including meats, cheeses, vegetables, and dry goods, as well as for non-food items where protection from air and moisture is desired, such as documents or electronics. The process results in a tightly sealed package that is compact and efficient for storage and transportation.
