We all have an important impact on Mother Earth. VacQPack contributes to reduce the Ecological Footprint of logistics in Food processing. VacQPack is specialized in Bio Treatments inside the vacuumed packaging using a patented valve.
Roughly one quarter of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year, approximately 1.3 billion tonnes gets lost or wasted. Together against loss and waste, it’s up to us.
Excellence in VACUUM PACKAGING and BIO TREATMENTS
VacQPack
with the VacQPack system
ORGANIC FUMIGATION
VacQPack is NOT
Modified atmosphere packaging of finished food products
Because this is for microbiological protection.
Modified atmosphere food packaging to preserve colours
Because this is for blocking enzymatical processes.
Long term storage of fruits
Because this is for blocking the ripening hormones.
Pupae
INSECT STAGES
INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS
Heterometabolic : Development in 3 stages
Egg Nymph Adult
COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS
Holometabolic : Development in 4 stages
Egg Larvae Adult
INSECT STAGES
Tribolium confusum, Tribolium castaneum
Egg Pupae Adult Larvae
Morphology of the ARTHROPODS
Nervous systeem
Rope ladder system Nodes are a part of the brain
Morphology of the ARTHROPODS
Blood circulation
Open system, with free circulating blood
Several hearts
Morphology of the ARTHROPODS
Respiration
Stigmata, trachea
CLASSIC FUMIGATION SYSTEMS
Fumigation with toxic gases
Temperature Heating Freezing
Modified atmospheres
Pressure
Radiations Gamma Microwave
TOXIC GASES
Methylbromide Phosphine Sulfurylfluoride
One parameter : exposure to toxic gas
Dangerous for man and environment
Remaining residues
Conclusion : decreasing public support
TEMPERATURE MODIFICATIONS
Heating : ≥ + 55 °C
Freezing : ≤ - 18 °C
One parameter : TEMPERATURE
Possible damage to the commodities
Cost for treatment of large quantities
MODIFIED ATMOSPERE PRODUCTION
CO2 Evaporator Nitrogen Separator
DIFFERENCES
CARBON DIOXIDE
Toxic action as gas
Asphyxation
Water solluble = only dry food
Evaporator and buffertank needed for big volumes
Relative low quantities needed
Less correlation with temperature
Safety limit (humans) = 5.000 ppm
NITROGEN
No toxic action
Asphyxation
Insolluble in water = O.K. for finished products On site production by a separator (cheaper)
Relative high quantities needed
High dependency on temperature
Ambient atmosphere = 79.000 ppm
MAP, NORMAL PRESSURE
