Our MAPAX® program bundles extensive foodstuff, gas and packaging know-how into tailor-made solutions. It ensures the highest standards by taking account of the following:
Different types and quantities of microorganisms that can occur during product handling and processing.
Required levels of hygiene.
Delay before packaging.
Temperature.
Properties of the packaging material e.g. permeability.
Free gas volume within the package.
Gas mixture.
Residual oxygen level.
Bringing you the best solutions
To bring you the best MAPAX solution for your application, we do much more than supply gases. MAPAX solutions are built on close cooperation between the packaging material, packaging machine and gas suppliers. This enables our customers to meet market demand for efficient and cost-effective foodstuff packaging. It also ensures a consistently high quality product throughout the distribution chain, which displays well on the chilled-food counter.
We work closely with food research institutes in several countries, e.g. SIK ( Sweden), VTT (Finland), Campden (UK), and have numerous food-processing customers worldwide. Through close collaboration with the food-processing industry, we find the optimal atmosphere for each application.
