Provided is a vacuum packaging machine (100), comprising a machine body (1), a vacuum cover (2), a main controller (3), a sub-controller (4), a heat-sealing mechanism (5) and a vacuumizing mechanism (6), wherein a vacuum chamber (11) is provided in the machine body, the vacuum cover covers the machine body and corresponds to the position of the vacuum chamber; the main controller is provided on the machine body, the sub-controller is provided on the vacuum cover, and the main controller is in communication connection with the sub-controller; and the main controller is in communication connection with the heat-sealing mechanism and the vacuumizing mechanism, and functional keys (40) used for implementing vacuumizing and heat-sealing operations are provided on the sub-controller.

Provided is a novel vacuum packaging machine, comprising a machine body (1), a vacuum cover (2) and a bag hanging mechanism (3), wherein a vacuum chamber (11) enabling a packaging bag (4) to be vertically placed is provided in the machine body (1), the vacuum cover (2) is provided on the machine body (1) and corresponds to the vacuum chamber (11), and the bag hanging mechanism (3) is provided at the upper part of the vacuum chamber (11).

A method and apparatus for sealing a plastic enclosure is provided. The apparatus includes a handle including elements pivotally coupled together at a first end. The apparatus also includes a pair of spaced apart heating elements positioned along an inner surface of an element and connected to a power source where a longitudinal axis of the heating elements is oriented parallel with a longitudinal axis of the element. Plastic material including first and second plastic layers is positioned at an interface between the second elements. Upon pivoting the first elements from an open position to a closed position the heating elements increase a temperature at the interface to melt the plastic material and form a pair of spaced apart seals between the first and second plastic layers.

An apparatus for manufacturing filled containers includes a transport unit that is suitable and designed for transporting containers that are filled with a liquid and are closed with a closure cap. The apparatus includes a penetration unit that is suitable and designed for generating an opening in at least an area of the closure cap and/or of the container, and an application unit that applies a flowable and in particular gaseous medium onto an internal space of the container through this opening (or feeds gaseous medium into this intern space). Further the apparatus includes a closing unit that re-closes the opening.

A device for producing filled containers has a transport device which is configured for transporting containers which are filled with a liquid and are closed by a closure. Furthermore, the apparatus has a penetration device which is configured for producing an opening in at least one region of the closure and/or of the container, and an application device, which applies a flowable and in particular gaseous medium to the interior of the container through this opening (or feeds the gaseous medium to this interior). Furthermore apparatus has a closing device which closes the opening again.

A packaging system includes a first sealer and a gas flusher. The first sealer creates a first seal in packaging material along a direction of travel of the packaging material, thereby forming a packaging loop. The gas flusher flushes ambient air from the packaging loop and includes a mechanically retractable lance that can be selectively repositioned relative to the first sealer. When the mechanically retractable lance is in an operative position, the mechanically retractable lance projects into the packaging loop, with a gas flowing through the mechanically retractable lance into the packaging loop.

A method of making a pressurized packaged liquid beverage. The method includes filling a container including a one-way valve with a liquid beverage, sealing the container, introducing a volume of gas through the one-way valve after sealing the container, and agitating the liquid beverage inside the sealed container, When the container is opened, the liquid beverage increases in volume and separates into liquid phase and a drinkable foam phase. The method may be carried out in a sealed container including a one-way valve adapted to allow a gas to enter the first container but not exit or a circulatory agitation system according to other embodiments. Thee liquid beverage may include milk, coffee, fruit juice, or mixtures thereof, particularly mixtures of milk and coffee, and may further include a gum. The gas may be nitrous oxide.
