Storage losses of raw material and finished products means lesser margins for food processors
Adding preservatives has limitations and companies cannot take advantage of lower raw material prices, if the shelf-life is shorter
Retention of aroma, flavour and texture is critical for product consistency
Vaculoc provides ultra-high vacuum flexible containers to:
reduce storage losses
retain aroma, texture & flavour
increase shelf life of food items and profit from price fluctuations of raw materials and finished products by storing them longer
Vaculoc technology relies on manual methods and does not need any machinery or electricity. ​
What is ultra-high vacuum technology? Why use it?
Currently, fewer technologies are available for small and mid-sized food processors to reduce internal storage and wastage losses
Cold storage remains an expensive option
Other methods like containers, vacuum sealers are either ineffective or lack scalability
Vauloc has developed affordable and accessible ultra-high vacuum flexible storage containers that can reduce storage losses, retain aroma and increase the shelf life of food items
How does the Vaculoc technology work?
Vaculoc’s technology uses four components - flexible container, cap, armlock and hand pump
Flexible container is made of special patented polyethylene capable of withstanding pressure up to 0.00001 pascal
Once the container is capped and armlock is tightened, hand pump can be used to vacuum the container till it become hard like a brick
To reuse the container, simply remove the cap and armlock and dispense the contents
What is the return on investment (ROI) on Vaculoc flexible vacuum containers?
ROI on Vaculoc flexible vacuum container depends on:
Reduction in storage losses
Profit earned by increasing the shelf life
Reputation earned by delivering consistent product quality by retaining aroma, texture and flavour
Reusability of containers further increases the ROI as they could be used multiple times throughout its life
Vaculoc flexible vacuum containers can last for nearly two years, provided they are used as per instructions and kept away from sharp edges.
In the event of any damage, users have the option to buy only the damaged component separately, instead of a whole new set which comprises (1) flexible container (2) cap (3) armlock (4) hand pump
What items can be stored?
All dry items can be stored in the flexible vacuum container except liquids, fine powders and items with sharp edges that could puncture the container.
All natural and synthetic food ingredients & additives
Extracts, colours, flavours, binders, thickeners, sweeteners, stabilizers, preservatives etc.
Dried fruits and vegetables
Whole spices, seasonings, cereals, grains and pulses
Currently, the flexible vacuum storage containers are not designed for following items:
Liquids
Items with sharp edges
Powders
Anything below -20 Degree Celsius
Anything above 50 Degree Celsius
(Vacuum storage containers for liquids and fine powders would be launched in September 2023. To register your interest, please write to info@sparkonix or Whatsapp your details on +91 9004096806)
