    HLGD-ZKJ-200 Pickle and Brined Vegetable Vacuum Packaging Unit

    Pickles, mustard tuber and kelp shreds are sold as solid pieces in brine, and that is a harder filling problem than a free-flowing product. This unit is built around it: solids are metered first, brine or sauce is added to the set ratio, and the flat pouch is then evacuated and impulse sealed. Bag pick-up, bag opening, date printing, metering, vacuum and sealing all run automatically, at speeds of up to 60 packs per minute in pouch sizes from 70 to 150 mm wide and 80 to 200 mm long.

    Overview

    Metered Vacuum Packing Built for Solids in Brine

    Three things separate a brined-solid packer from a general vacuum packer, and all three are handled here.

    • Solids metered, liquid added to ratioThe solid dose is set first and the brine or sauce is added on top, so the pack looks and weighs the same on every cycle.
    • Longer evacuation for wet packsBrine between the pieces traps air, so the evacuation dwell is extended to draw the gas out before the seal closes.
    • Flat pouch, printed as suppliedThe machine picks and opens flat pre-made pouches between 70 and 150 mm wide and 80 and 200 mm long, so the branded pouch carries the product.
    • Automatic cycleBag pick-up, opening, date and batch printing, metering, vacuum and sealing run without an operator in the cycle.

    Line Composition and Dosing Guide

    The unit is made of four stations. This table shows what each one does for the three main product types in this market.

    Vacuum level and evacuation dwell are stored with the product recipe and set on the control interface. The achievable speed is always confirmed with your own product, because pack weight and brine content change how long the pouch takes to evacuate.

    Advantages

    Repeatable Solids, Reliable Seals

    The three outcomes that matter most when packing brined vegetable products.

    Consistent Pack Presentation

    Because the solid dose is metered and the liquid added on top, every pouch shows a similar fill level and drained weight.

    Seals That Hold

    Impulse sealing applied after a properly set evacuation avoids the trapped-air failures that spoil wet packs in storage.

    Automatic Operation

    Bag pick-up, opening, date printing, metering, vacuum and sealing are handled by the machine, so the operator mainly monitors output.

    Operating Cycle

    From Metering to Sealed Pack

    The pouch follows the same route on every cycle, which is what keeps a wet pack consistent.

    01

    Meter the Solids

    The filling station dispenses the set dose of solid pieces, such as cut mustard tuber or kelp shreds.

    02

    Add the Brine

    Brine or sauce is added to the set ratio, so the liquid content of the pack does not vary from pouch to pouch.

    03

    Pick, Open and Fill

    The flat pouch is picked from the magazine, opened, printed with date and batch and filled through the open mouth.

    04

    Evacuate and Seal

    Air is drawn out to the recipe level, and an impulse seal closes the mouth before the pouch is discharged.

    Applications

    Pickles, Mustard Tuber and Preserved Vegetables

    The product list this unit was configured around, all of them sold with brine or sauce.

    Mustard Tuber and Leaf Mustard

    Whole and cut mustard tuber and leaf mustard packed with the brine the product is cured in.

    Kelp Shreds and Snow Vegetable

    Shredded and stranded products such as kelp shreds and snow vegetable, filled by a metering system suited to wet strands.

    FAQ

    HLGD-ZKJ-200 Questions

    Products such as mustard tuber, preserved vegetable and kelp shreds are sold as solid pieces sitting in brine, so the pack needs a metered solid dose plus a controlled amount of liquid. This unit is configured around that filling problem rather than around free-flowing product.

    The solids are metered first and the brine or sauce is added to the set ratio, so both parts of the pack are repeatable rather than varying with how the product happens to flow. The ratio is stored with the product recipe and recalled on changeover.

    Flat pre-made pouches between 70 and 150 mm wide and 80 and 200 mm long. The pouches are picked and opened automatically, so the printed pouch is used as supplied.

    Up to 60 packs per minute, which depends on the product and the pack weight. Heavier packs with more brine take longer to evacuate, so the achievable speed is confirmed on your product during the sample trial.

    The filled pouch enters the vacuum station, where air is drawn out to the level set for the recipe, and the mouth is then closed by an impulse heat seal. Brined products need a longer evacuation dwell so gas escapes from between the solid pieces before the seal closes.

    A total power supply of 12.5 kW and compressed air at 0.6 cubic metres per minute, which is supplied by the user. The layout is confirmed with the room plan so the metering, bag feeding and output stations fit the available floor.

    Food contact parts are in stainless steel, the chutes and guards open for washdown, and drop trays collect product lost at the filling and sealing stations. The vacuum chamber is drained and wiped between shifts.
