Maintain freshness for less waste
Based in The Netherlands, known for its fresh produce and flowers, PerfoTec offers an ingenious laser solution for extending shelf-life. By creating custom perforation in every pack, the Laser Perforation System achieves an optimal modified atmosphere. This extends the shelf-life of the fresh produce inside.
Extending shelf-life with Perfotec benefits retailers as it reduces costs and waste and increases quality. And it offers producers opportunities to increase supply options and reach a wider market.
The system integrates with horizontal and vertical packing machines and tray sealers. It creates holes as small as 55–60 microns, and yet it’s rugged enough to withstand tough packing conditions.
What does PerfoTec manufacture?
Laser Perforation System
PerfoTec’s system controls the permeability of produce packing to extend the quality and shelf-life of the produce. It does this by making consistent and accurate holes in the packaging with lasers. A closed-loop-feedback camera inspects every hole for a consistent result. This makes sure the Oxygen Transmission Rate is correct for every pack, keeping food fresh.
PerfoTec Fast Respiration Meter
Respond to seasonal variations by measuring the respiration rate of your fresh produce. Within 4 hours, you’ll know oxygen consumption and how much carbon dioxide and ethylene is being produced. You then have the data required to set the optimal transmission rate and perforations specifications for your packaging.
PerfoTec Dynamic Liner System (DLS)
Produce liner bags with optimal perforations at source so you can pack and extend the shelf life of your produce. The DLS incorporates the Laser Perforation System together with its closed-loop-feedback system that inspects every hole. You can store 200 programs in its software system.
Packaging & transport
PerfoTec doesn’t just manufacture the systems for creating perforation but also materials suited to packaging fresh produce. PerfoTec C+ Film and PerfoTec LinerBags are made from a biobased material, and the MAP Shuttle trays are a reusable, nestable, and stackable way to transport your produce.
