Hefestus fresh-cut fruits

An innovative new concept for fruit and vegetable packaging with modified atmosphere (MAP) technology is to be on show at Fruit Logistica.

Israeli company Hefestus is to display its Shelf Life Booster (SLB) packaging with modified atmosphere (MAP) technology at the Berlin fair, Hall 1.1, Booth E-18.

Visitors are invited to examine a comprehensive solution for extended shelf life of fruits, vegetables and fresh-cut salads.

The major obstacle of purchasing ready-to-eat fresh-cut fruits and vegetables is their short shelf life, leading to quick degeneration and decomposition of the product and undesirable look and negative palatability.

SLB technology overcomes this challenge by providing extended shelf life and reducing accumulation of product decomposition liquids in the packaging bottom. SLB technology enables processors to pack fresh-cut fruit & vegetables and extend their shelf life up to 14 days.

Hefestus has also launched an extensive line of packaging system solutions, using SLB advanced technology for refilling and automatic weighing of fruits and vegetables, plus a rotary top-sealing packaging machine.
