GAS INJECTION SYSTEM IDG/SC-123T/N
- Gas injection system is an optional integrated accessory for Diamond SC-123T/S and SC-123T/IVP vacuum packaging machines.
- After air extraction, food-grade gas is injected into vacuum bag before sealing phase begins.
- Protective atmosphere helps extend shelf life and preserve food color, flavor, shape, and texture.
- Gas injection reduces compression of fragile or soft foods caused by high vacuum levels.
- System is suitable for packaging meat, fish, cheese, vegetables, baked goods, and other delicate foods.
- Nitrogen (N₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), argon (Ar), or suitable food-grade gas mixtures can be used.
- Appropriate gas composition depends on food type, packaging material, and required storage period.
- Mixtures containing more than 20% oxygen require a special oxygen-compatible vacuum pump.
- Operation requires an external food-grade gas supply, typically a gas cylinder connected through a regulator.
- Machine connection has a diameter of 6 mm and requires a gas flow of 60 – 100 L/min with a maximum supply pressure of 1 bar.
- System is installed directly in a compatible vacuum machine and can be ordered with machine or retrofitted later.
