Seles Vacuum Packaging and Industrial Weighing Equipment

Seles, a Murbay company, offers vacuum packaging machines, electronic scales, platform scales and tray-sealing systems for professional food businesses. Its range spans from small portable vacuum units to conveyorised production machines, and from tabletop scales to high-capacity platform scales.

Vacuuming and weighing are different control points on the same production line. The weighing device determines portion or package quantity, while the vacuum machine reduces air inside the package and seals it with heat. The capacity of both pieces of equipment should be chosen based on filling and packaging speed.

Pump Capacity in Chamber Vacuum Machines

The Seles vacuum range spans from the DZ-280, in the 10 m³/h class, to larger models with pump capacities of 20, 40, 45, 110 and 150 m³/h. As pump capacity increases, the time to draw air from a given volume can shorten.

The pump figure alone does not determine cycle capacity. Chamber size, number of packages, product moisture, target vacuum level, sealing time and lid opening and closing all affect the total cycle.

Liquid or high-moisture products can begin to boil as pressure drops. Sauce, soup and marinating products should be processed with a suitable program and packaging method. If product overflows into the chamber, the pump and oil system can be damaged.

Single-Bar, Dual-Bar and Conveyorised Models

Single-bar models such as the DZ-400 F seal the package on one side of the chamber. Dual-bar options such as the DZ-400 2F and DZ-500 2G can help prepare more packages in the same cycle depending on chamber layout.

Larger-body models such as the SLS 700 and DZ 1000 QF are aimed at higher production volumes. In conveyorised systems, product feeding and outlet arrangement should be set up for continuous production. If the machine's capacity is not supported by the package-filling line, waiting time will build up between cycles.

The length of the sealing bar limits the mouth width of the bag that can be used. The package should not extend beyond the bar, and there should be no fat, product residue or folding at the mouth section.

Seles Scale and Platform Scale Groups

Seles' weighing products include price-computing scales, splash-resistant tabletop models and platform scales. Series such as the T28, WSP, S29, TCS, AGT and APP are aimed at different screens, bodies and use scenarios.

When choosing a scale, maximum capacity and graduation value should be examined together. A unit with a high kilogram capacity may not provide the gram precision needed for small recipes. The lightest and heaviest products to be weighed should be determined in advance.

The term "splash-resistant model" does not mean the unit can be washed with pressurised water. The protection class, adapter, connections and load cell should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Featured Highlights

• The vacuum range includes portable, chamber, single-bar, dual-bar and conveyorised configurations.
• Pump capacities extend from the 10 m³/h class up to the 150 m³/h class for different production scales.
• The weighing range covers tabletop scales, price-computing models and platform scale groups.
• Manual tray-sealing machines form a separate product area for ready-meal and portion packaging processes.

Product Safety on the Vacuum Packaging Line

Vacuum packaging does not eliminate microorganisms and does not replace the cold chain. Meat, dairy, ready meals and similar foods should be prepared at the appropriate temperature and kept under the defined storage conditions after packaging.

Vacuum level and sealing time should be tested for each product. Sharp bones, hard shells or pointed pieces can puncture the bag. A vacuum bag of suitable thickness should be used.

Pump oil, sealing wire, Teflon tape and lid gasket should be monitored under the maintenance program. If wrinkling or an air channel is visible in the seal line, the package should be re-prepared before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the m³/h value show on a Seles vacuum machine?

This value expresses the theoretical air volume the pump can handle in one hour. A higher value can shorten the vacuum stage, but cycle time is also affected by chamber, product and sealing settings.

How does a Seles single-bar vacuum machine differ from a dual-bar one?

A single-bar model allows package placement on one side of the chamber, while a dual-bar model allows placement across two sealing lines. A dual bar can help prepare more small packages in the same cycle.

Does a Seles vacuum machine guarantee food shelf life?

No. Vacuuming reduces oxygen levels but does not sterilise the product. Shelf life should be confirmed based on the product recipe, initial hygiene, packaging material and storage temperature.
