The benefits of a Henkelman for you

Robust quality & optimal hygiene

Henkelman machines are specially developed for the food production industry. The machines are easy to keep clean and require very little maintenance, which guarantees continuity. All machines are certified to meet CE or UL/CSA requirements and meet all European and North American requirements in terms of safety, health and environmental protection.

Flavor and weight retention

Vacuum-sealing food products reduces the growth of bacteria and therefore extends the shelf life without having to add preservatives. Fish products that are vacuum-packed retain their weight, flavour and aroma. This also prevents dehydration, freezer burn and mould. Your fish has a longer shelf life compared to refrigeration and retains its quality when frozen.

Optimal storage & transport

Vacuum-packed and sealed products can be stored and transported hygienically. As your product is perfectly packaged, it is possible to store different packages together. This optimizes both storage space and transport.

Best vacuuming machines for fish

Salt corrodes certain materials. If you work with salty products, such as in the fish industry, you need a stainless steel vacuuming machine. The Henkelman range includes various machines that are made entirely from stainless steel.

Professional presentation by using a Diptank

Shrink packaging results in a more tightly packed product with a smoother surface. This improves the presentation and aesthetics of your product. In combination with a Henkelman vacuuming machine, a dip tank results in sleek, professional packaging using shrink-wrap technology. Products are vacuum sealed in special shrink-wrap bags and then briefly immersed in warm water.
