Fish And Seafood Packaging

Air is one of the biggest threats to fish quality. When exposed to air, oily fish like salmon oxidize quickly, and frozen fish develop freezer burn. Packaging that seals out air is one of the most effective ways to protect against quality loss and rapid spoilage.

However, protecting the fresh food product is only half the challenge. Seafood is processed in wet, salty environments that corrode ordinary equipment. That's why fish processing facilities need durable, purpose-built machinery. Plexpack offers corrosion-resistant bag sealers, fish shrink wrapping machinery and vacuum systems engineered for harsh conditions, so equipment and packaging perform reliably, shift after shift.

Flexible Seafood Solutions

Plexpack equipment is designed to protect against quality loss and rapid spoilage.

Our Fish and Seafood Packaging Solutions

Plexpack builds fish and seafood packaging equipment made-to-order for your specific product, throughput and production environment. We have three main equipment lines, all ready to be configured to your needs:

VacPack vacuum sealing systems for seafood and fish

VacPack™ Vacuum and Gas Flush Sealing

Vacuum and modified-atmosphere packaging are among the most effective ways to extend seafood shelf life. VacPack™ sealers remove the air or replace it with a controlled gas blend. That blend often includes carbon dioxide, which is especially effective at slowing spoilage in fish and seafood.

Emplex™ Bag Sealing Systems

Our Emplex™ continuous band sealers form strong, hermetic seals on bags and pouches of fillets, whole fish and frozen product. We offer standard models for everyday production and high-speed machines for demanding, high-volume lines. All Emplex™ bag sealers are controlled through an easy-to-use touch screen.

Damark™ Systems

Fish often ships in foam boxes and cases that need a tight, protective wrap. For fish and seafood shrink wrapping, Damark™ packaging machines enclose boxes, cases and bundled products in clear film for a clean, professional finish. They come in manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic models.

 
 

Hygienic Fish packaging Equipment That Resists Corrosion

Brine and frequent washdowns wear down equipment that isn't built for it. Plexpack offers sanitary fish packaging solutions built from food-grade stainless steel and featuring corrosion-resistant, NEMA-rated enclosures. These solutions are designed to help reduce the equipment failures that lead to downtime.
